SS 4 We can now affert on good authority, that the report of the French fleet having failed from Breit, which has been current for thefe two or three days pall, is altogether void of foundation. Difpatches were yefterday received 'at the Admiralty, from Ad miral Colswattas off Ufltant, by which it appears, that fo far from the enemy being at fea, they have not yet made any attempt to come out. Their pre parations in that quarter are however in fuch for. wardnefs, that it may be prefumed, if they really in tend to put to lea, that they are now only watching for a favourable moment to flip out. Our fleet off Era has withflood •he violent gales which have of late prevailed, and continues to maintain that vigi. Scut p' t.i )n, which, we tru ft, will effeinually obflruft ciLlins of the enemy, in whatever way be may to (employ the principal remains of the naval power of France, Four flips of the line have been ordered to proceed with all poflible difpatcb, to join Lord Nstsores fquadron offToulon. It is believed, that the French, while they keep threatening our own coafts, adually meditate another expedition to Egypt. If they should let out, it is to be hoped they will not be fortunate enough as on the lag occafion, to reach that country. without our fleet being able to fall in with them on the paffage. Sir Srowir StatTlf arrived in town this day, for the purpofe of having an interview with the Lords of the Admiralty, previors to his proceeding again to the enemy's coall. In a few days his fquadron will be Rationed off Flufhing. The letters from the costa for fome days pan, have been fo unanimous in Rating, that a funs bombard ment of tit. Pr-my's r• -qt% is loon to be attempted that, in common with all the ptints t f the day; we entertained no doubts refpeaing the truth of the report.

DEAL, Nov. 14. —Thirty-three tranfports came into the Downs yerterday, and their deftination is for Portfmouth, there, as they underhand, to take in troops for Portugal. More tranfports are hourly esintled. The Commander of the French gun-boat and the Captain of the brigade, taken on board, were this evening above two hours before a Commoner of the Admiralty, the Mayor of this town, and a No tary Public, to undergo an examination previous to the condemnation of - the boat. Nothing material could be extracted from the French Officers. They declined to anfwer any par. titular quellions ; but they did not hefitate to nate generally that the important attack of their country men would be on Ireland and Scotland ; both of which tkey conceive more vulnerable than England, and in each of which they expelled to meet partifaes, particularly in the former. They, however, men.' tinned that they had no doubt fome feints would be made on this ifland. The Naval Officer appeared a very gentlemanly clever man. The pit is about to fet out. If I can learn any farther particulars you !hall have them to-morrow. There was a report of an alarm at Dover lan night. All the yeomanry and regulars were under arms, in confequence of fome French Hoops being perceived coming out of Itoulogne harbour yellerday evening. They made for Calais, and were not interrupted by our cruifers. ANOTHER LETTER casts DATI.-.—The French fol diers who were captured a few days fusee appear in general to be intelligent men, and to have teen a great deal of fervice. They are not very forward in the fpontaneous communication of opinion, but they never object to reply to any queftion that may be put to them, and fuch queftions as relate to the Rate of their preparation on the oppofite coati---the capacity of their troops to reach this country, and their fate in the event of landing, they anfwer in the moll con fident tone. They nate that the great majority of the French troops along the coati, and particularly in the neighbourhood of Boulogne, are compofed of veterans who ferved in the lea war. TKe new railed levies they mention are fcattered in the interior of France, or difpatched to the army of Italy, or that on the German frontiers and Hanover. According to the opinion of the D,eal boatmen, who are perfons much to be attended to on fubjees connected with the navigation of this Channel, it is quite impoffible that the French gun boats, conftrue. ed upon the model of that lately captored, can ufe their guns for the protection of their troops in the event of debarkation on our coaft. Thofe boats carry a gun of large calibre from t 8 to 24 pounders in the sow, and one of 6 to B'pounden e . The large guns are fo fixed that unlefs they can point the iew in (bore, it mull be ufelefs againfi the troops on land ; and fo to point their bow on a lee /bore is impraticable. The difadvantage of the heavy gun alto is, that it makes the boat roll moll i.ttolerably, and renders it quite unmanageable in a heavy fca. Before fbe could be worked to windwl: a our Deal boats would fail round her four or five times—fo the boatmen fay ; and alto that t:ley could board her, if necetFary, on her lee quarter without futlaining any ii l iury from her fire. Befi•les, if the French boats fisall take on board the complement of ;Oldie. s which is faid to be a(14,-ed to each of the third clefs, namely, about go, my informersthink that the guns cannot be managed. With even the a 6 which were on board the boat cap cored, there was fcarce room for any perfon to move. AU the French gun boats are made of elm, and not of oak, as borne of the papers have errant °oily flatted. The 18-pound carronades which are on board the Deal boats, prepared to repulfe the enemy, are to fixed on a fwivel that they can be brought to bear in any dirteion ; while the guns in the Frenclaboats can only bear in one dircaion.

Dovoa, Nov. 14.—YeRerday afternoon, at fifteen minutes after four, a fignal was obferved at the South I;'oreland Point. announcing the appearance of an Enemy. At a 7 minutes after four another Ggnal, to the fame rife& r -as boißed, which was Coon earsvered from the fevers! Rations on the Coal!. The people on the heights perceived the Boulogne flotilla in mo tion, and it was therefore fappofed, that in the co urre a the night the enemy would make an attempt to put to Ira. Tl•i, opinion became general, as our floadron was obliged, by the late heavy gales, to quit their former Ration of the harbour of Boulogne, and was at anchor in the Downs. The night paired. however, without any alarm, and at to, A.

The following article is copied from the Courier sir Learn °flail night : Pants.—The placards polled up in Paris ' Rating that Boaaraars would not embark for England, are laid to have contained an anticipation of the proceed ings which were to have been folernnly adopted by the Tribunate, Legiflative Body, and Senate. The fpeech of Motto de GALLI!, polled at Paris, was precifely the fame as that which he had jet delivered in the Senate at St. Cloud. Bo AAAAAA a was quite enraged at this tranfaaion. He flew to his wife's apartment, and, in a violent pafflon ordered her to lop the preparations (he and her fe male friends were making for lifting their part in the farce, by which it was agreed that he thould be prevailed on not to em bark. GAIRAT was fummoned before his Coafular biajelly. He proved, that the letter polled up had been written by him at the defire of Ciassiscsase, but that, by foam unlucky precipitation, it had been printed even before the fatting of the Sei:ate, of which it gave an account, had taken place. It is reported, that at the lift Meeting of the Coun cil of State, the Grand Judge reported, that he cool/ not anfwer for the tranquillity of the Republic, if the '.

They now, in order to pot themfelves in a fmaller conspars to pars over to the extrerffity of the Park, formed two lines, by deploying to the right, on the. Light Companies of the North Britons and Artificers, when they marched (trait forward en Buckden Hill, experiencing all the difficulties of the way. They were feveral times broken, but formed again with alacrity and corrednefs. The Brigade did not go through many of the maaccuvres that the preceding Brigades did; they only changed their front; that is, took up a new alignment, and individually made a charge againft a party of Dragoons, which was placed for the purpofe. The St. Gi les and St. 'George's, were the fief Regiment which was pat to the charge, under the eye of Lord Haaaincrosi. who immediately marched them to the .centre of the 'Park, and a fecond time inftruded them in that ma material movement, leaving the other five Regiments to General BOWS% on Bucktlen Hill. who .tingly put them to the charge • after which, they marched up to the piece of ground Lord Has s's arms had marked out,and charged likewife before him.
