By the Leeward Ifland Mail which arrived yefter. 'day, accounts were received, that on the sth of laft month the EMERALD frigate fell in with 13 armed £chooners from Guadaloupe, with 700 troops on board. deftined for Engiilh Harbour, Antigua, to odeßroy our dockyard in that quarter. The L• ms. lama, captured three of there vefels, and chafed the well back under the batteries of Guadaloupe. We %are Corry to hear that the EMIRALD flamed Come damage by getting too near the French batteries.— ..The delign of the enemy has, however, been com pletely fruarated. American papers to the sith ultimo have been re ceived. The yellow fever has fpread to Philadel phia and Alexandria, as well as New York. Sense fymptoms, it is Paid, had appeared at Bolton, bat this teems doubtful. There is nothing very new from Gt. Domingo. The French are in the utmoit Jacquemel and Aux Cayes were clofely invefled by the Brigands. There is a report that the Engli(h had taken Jeremie—There could be no motive for fuch an attack. It is reported alto that the Governor of Demerara is determined to defend the place to the 'amok extremity. An attempt by the Britilh was expelled. We are happy to obferve, that Government has adopted the neceffary precautions to prevent the im• portation of the yellow fever into this country. The Gazette of laft night contains an order of his MA) u• pr in Council, direiting veffels arriving in the ports of Great Britain from New York, or any port within the (late of New York, to perform fourteen days quarantine wherever they may arrive with clean bills of health ; but if any perfon (hall have died on board, tech reels are ordered to proceed to Standgate Creek to perform regular quarantine. By letters from Deal we learn, that on Tnefday left a few shot were fired by our cruizers off Boulogne, in eonfequence of g 3 of the enemy's boats venturing to (hew themfelves. The wind, however, was from the !bore, and it does not appear that ou► veffels could get near enough to do them much damage. There was a review of the French troops in that neighbourhood, and the movement among the boats was probably intended to heighten the effetl of the Thew ; for they appeared to be filled with troops.— They took care, however, to keep at a refpeaful dif lance from our cruisers. The firing at this review and from nor veffels was plainly heard at Dungenefs, and on other points of our coat, and the general belief was, that our (hips were again bombarding Boulogne—a very natural in ference, for the atmofphere was too foggy at the time to allow the French noel to be feen from our (pores. Such particulars as have reached us are fubjoined : " DIAL, Ocr. 27.—This morning arrived his Ma. jelly's flips DUCHESS OF YOIK, DUCHESS OF CUM sm. amp and NORTHUM aaaaa /iD cutter, the lag mentioned rad from Boulogne. By her we learn, that, in eonfequence of the Rate of the wind on the coaft, no farther meafuret• have been taken to annoy the enemy. On the 24th the wind was favourable for the Corrigan, and Rill continues fo. The fquadron ran dole in to obfetve the enemy's motions. On the afternoon of that day there was a grand review at Boulogne. It appeared to be a fbam-fight, which continued for feveral boors. The country round is covered with huts, conßrufted for the reception of the poor deluded wretches who are deßined to breathe their lak either on the Englifh Shore, or in the pal: Page over. " On the asth the French flotilla came out of Bon logne : it confifted of 53 vefrels. The Axes'a gun brig was at that time lo dole in (bore, that the people on board heard the Frenchmen liuzzaing as they came out. The LARK exchanged a few (hoc with them ; the Vssu•s bomb and LARK ran in to annoy them with Shells. The French boats were filled with men, all apparently troops. "At 7 o'clock the Ascii ER came to an anchor with in three or four miles of the enemy ; the wind being then fair for them. and our gallant tars were all anxious to have a blow at them, Should they attempt to pay a vifit to our cos& " There w.is another review to the eaftward of Bon. *sue ; our fquadron was not futliciently near to at . - certain the number of the troops, but, according to every account they mutt, at the kali, have exceeded sOOO.

Our flotilla got 'try sear them, but pot cc, near is to do them 11) , material damage, as it was unfortunately almoft a calm the whole day, and what little wind there was, was from the fhore. 4 , Arrived alto this morning the LARK t and failed again in the afternoon for Boulogne." Two American Gentlemen, and a youth who bad been at School in France, arrived on, Wednefday at Dover from Havre in a neutral vefrel. They had travelled from Faris, and (peak of the preparations in the port of Havre de Grace in terms of the mon profound contempt. Thefe were, on their departure, about rso Teals, nsokly undecked, and carrying one fmall gun each, in that harbour; but fo far from the people entertaining any ferious idea of theil craft be ing employed to carry a part of the invading army to England, they were principally engagid in taking care of themfelves. Ii feasts a report Rrongly pre vails in the town of Havre, that an army was at em bling near Folkllone (Shorn ail) under General MOORE, and, for the purr& of making an attack on Cherbourg. This rumour had nut along the French coaft, and created fuch an alarm, that con. fiderable preparations were making to defeat any defcent of this kind;—fo that from the s accounts of thefe Gentlemen , the dread or appreheitAon of inva- Sou has changed fides. The E.nglifk are:lt their polls, in hopes of feeing the enemy ; the French, not knowing where the ftrnke will fall next, arelnArßate of general confternation from Cherbourg to. Havre: All this may be true ; but we mull not fo far depend upon travelling narratives, as to relax in our decnrive operations. _ _ _ As to the preparations of the enemy in Holland, it has been often affected of late, that few or no boats are building there,.and the ftaternent is true; but the reafon is, that country can furnifh any number that may be wanted, ready built. A gentleman, who was lately there, informs us that the boats are all provided, and only wait for orders from the French Government. If the naval preparations of the enemy were as forward in the porn of Prance as they are in Holland, we might expel a villt fowler than there is any probability of at prefent. We have much fatisfaftion in announcing to the Public,that the benevolent principles which elTentially charaaelize the Society of Free Mafons, have re cently been manifeßed by feveral of the Lodges under the Conßitution, who (betides their Annual Subferip tinns) have repeated their benefaOions to that excel lent Inflitution in St. George's Fields, ellablifited for the fupport, maintenance, and edneatim of the dif• tre&d daughters of their indigent brethren. And it is with much pleafure we Rate, that the Bedford and Dundee Arms Lodges have relpellively fent Ten Guineas towards the extenfion of that Charity, to which there are at this time fo many Candidates Cup plicating admilfion. Conc.—The vigorous ailivity with which Liente nant-General TA ti.avon has aEted fume his appoint ment to thisimportantdißriet,would make his removal to England be felt with the molt lively concern here; did we not hope and expel to be gratified by the re• turn of Lieutenant-General Waits, whore local ex perience mull afford much confidence; and whole kind conciliating manners have railed him In high in the eßimation of all ranks and chiles of fooiety in this part of Ireland. A letter from Margate, dated 08ober 1117- 44 The attention of all the company remaining here was this day entirely drawn to the exhibitions of the feveral reffels Rationed in the offing. About nine o'clock in the morning the launches and flit bottom ed boats belonging to the Wit-rota and BATAVI la. Rationed in the Queen's Channel, manned and armed with carronades, under the command of the coramir finned officers attached to thofe (hips, were exercifed. They fired at a mark, and manoeuvred for feveral hours. The rapidity of their firing and the dexterity with which they performed the feveral evolutions. ob. tained the ptaife of many intelligent naval officers who were collefted to witnefs the feene. I have been informed by a witnefa of the born barment of Granville, that the lots of the French on board the gun-boats was very confiderable. not withitanding their gafconade of petted fafety. The Arm; so a floop was for fit hours in the midft of theft boats, and of courfe was not inafuive. It is calcu lated, by the perfon from whom I have had my in formation, that the lots of the French upon that oc carton could not be lefs than Soo men. Upon the fame authority I have to mention to you, that the French gun-boats row in general with great velocity, for when they retreated from the attack of the Csa seltVs, one of them lagged a-flern, and although fo comparatively flower than the others, the launch of the Camrevs, and another boat, which were en gaged in the purfuit. could not at all come within gun-fhot of her. si It is faid that the Sulphur bomb leaves ax roads to morrow, and her dellination is fuppofed to be for Utingenefs. It is imagined that the ,removal of this veffelimplies either the apprehenfion of a dekent from the enemy on that part of the coal*, or sinother bom bardment on fome part of the coral of France. This fuppofition is jullified from the circumflanee that the Sulphur experled to be Rationed here for the winter, and is generally confidered one of the molt effetlive bomb-vet - els in the let vice. " 0CT.16.--lcitcrday the BATATIER and Vol[ Tilts which are flationed Mr here in the Queen's Channel, celebrated the annivei Vary of his Mai xrry's acceffiun to the throne by a difcharge of 2 r guns each. We were much entertained to•day by the mancru vering of the boats belonging to the Texel. Three of them, manned and armed with a cartonade each, after firing at a calk which was placed at a convenient dillance in the water, commenced a &am fight.— Two !sniffed French colours and one of them Engliffs. This engagement took place almoli immediately un der the cliff, fo the mummy, among whom was Lord KEITH, had a complete view. Alter feveral dif charges of the carronades and maketry, both the French colours flruck. This was of courfe followed by loud Iruasss, and the captured boat was borne off in trinmpn.
