THE BRITISH PRESS• Private letters from the coast, one of wh'sh we have inserted, state. that an heavy cannonading took place on Sunday between our cruisers and the gnn•brat: and batteries at Boulogne. It was main tained t.ri both sides, until seven in the evening . [::fling th whok time the French coast appeared one tAare, from the ey.tensire and incessant fire cf tl.- o:te of cur cutters, the Coutitai;•,, it is said, was struck by a bomb, and SDI*, bat' the ctew were all saved. The Lemonlefire frigate is supposed to hare received some damage, having been also within reach of the batteries, but she galled the enemy considerably by the incessant and heavy fire 4 she kept up for several hours. The enemy, how ever, continued during the whole day getting nut their boats, and before dal k on Sunday night they had sent out of the inner harbour 350 full of sol diers. Monday morning the firing was renewed on both sides, and continued the greater part of the day. Theenemy continued to send cut the flotilla the whole of the tide. As they come out they anchor close in shore, and form a line ; they are all full of troops. A frigate arrived on Monday, off Dover, from the French coast, and landed two office: r. The boat was not suf fered to communicate with the shore; from whence it was conceived that the officers brought some important intelligence. Such is the substance of the accounts transmitted by persons who viewed the cannonade from the heights of Dover. How far they are justified in detailing with so much accuracy and precision, a scene anted in the midst of fire and smoke - under the batteries of Boulogne, our readers will judge. That the account is generally t ne, we be lieve, but it will be, probably, found, that the writer, in his anxiety to be very minute; has fallen into some errors. We understand Government received yesterday, an account of this affair, and of the ap parent state of the enemy at Boulogne. BONA PACT a, it is said, was still on the coast on Thursday last. An embarkation of cavalry, it is stated, took place at Ostend last week. A great number of troops entered that place shout the same time, to supply the place of others which had been suddenly marched. it is not known on what account, towards ' the-Interior.

A Gentleman, who left Berlin in the beginning of this month, relates, as a known raft in that capital, that the private correspondence between the Empe ror of RUkSIA and the King of PRUSSIA continued without interruption, until the wanton murder of the Duke of ENGHIEN made all extenuation of N AP ARTS'S former guilt as impossible as an expeCta tion of his future amendment is totally improhat.l.•. Fazornice Wn.t.rAM, notwithstanding, by the impolitic, and, perhaps, not entirely disinterested ' advice of his Counsellors, at that period, declared his intention to maintain his former conneCtions with the Corsican Usurper ; As as sworn, therefore, ceased to write any more. Nelther the discoveries of Bo.• NAP A Rile, atrocious plots and ambitious view% nor the inmaties and representations of other powers, upon the evidence of the general danger, nor the frank and positive declarations of the Russian Am bassador, and the acquired certainty, thsit his mas ter would take an attire part in the war, have alter ed the original resolutions of the Ministry of Berlin. Although fully assured that they must support alone the attacks of France, when she is vilorious ever the rest of Europe, they have persisted in the preservation of neutrality, without abetting indeed her crimes, but also without attempting to prevent them. The motives of the Prussian Cabinet have been sought for, in the partLr.lar opinions of some of iu rvcrnbers, in thou' good will towards BONA. - 5. "Palm. in their attachment to some sefts, to which the honour of events is ascribed, and which serves as a key to all the soothsayers, whose sagacity con verts the history of the present times into a pro phetic mystery. Insinuations more odious have mixed with these inconsiderate interpretations. Every mode of reasoning authorises us to contradia them. With Boss PARTE, it is possible that per sonal prejudices, pigoe, and frivolous resentments, may have an influence on state affairs; but, with regular Governments, when the State itself is found in one of the scales of the balance, together with the fortune, repose, rank, and existence, of those w ho govern, we cannot suppose them so little masters of themselves, as to rush blindly upon destruction. Many indications seem to discover. that the im prudent separation in which Prussia persists, results horn a system to which she thinks herself compelled by preceding circumstances. The day on which that Power forsook the coalition, she incicsed herseh in a circle of dangers;, she broke the obligation of old alliances without being able to form new, took umbrage at being reproached, resumed - that national hatred,which the wisdom and patriotism of the late Austrian and Prussian Monarchs had abjured, and forgot revolutionary France, to dread Austria and Russia. Assisted by these fatal dissentions, EON A. PAILTZ has pursued his disorganissttions, oppressions, plunder, plots, and usurpations. But, admitting the probability of suspicions credited at Berlin, against the sincerity of the two Imperial Courts, is there any comparison between the risks which the Prus sian monarchy and dynasty would run, from their alliance and their success, or from the consequence of their being overcome? On the one hanct, a pro vince or two threatened, perhaps invaded, and per haps afterwards restored; on the other, all the scourges of the revolution, joined to those of a des perate war, the existence of the king, of his family, of his servants, of his nobility, of his government; calamities without remedy, miseries that will blanch the hairs of the young sovereign, weeping in exile the fall of his throne, or consign him to his grave in a foreign land. It is, besides. so unnatural to sup pc.se, that icirecompence for an alliance contraAed under loch circumstances, and from motives so strong, the Imperial Courts would one day punish Prussia for her assistance, and on the salvation of Europe found the spoliation of their ally, that one would be tempted to impute so fanciful a suspicion so views more eemeealed. Surely Prussia will not long listen to such sappo sitions.or to the counsels of useless prudence. Surely her assistarce is less the result of fear, and a sense less system of abstraßion, than the indecision of the (7ohrifet of Vienna. if the latter, again terrified by the threats, misled by the intrigues, duped by the hypocrisy, os seduced by the temptations of Bowa n save, happen to spew, by a continuance of a de grading peace, her determination to resist no longer, what would become of that Continental Power, so imprudent as to have engaged in a design of war, the very intention of which the Corsican Usurper would Oct pardon? We inclir.e„ therefore, to ion cider the resolution which may yet unite Frits& in t'-e general defence, as only postponed. and a w aiting tne ultimate decision of the Emperor of GARM ANY ; roat wher once the ch:ii ge is sounded, the neutrality or that poser would be an error, for which Boss e ar e would soon undertake to avenge Europe. It is reported, that the present Inspeding Field Officers , d VAunteer Corps are to be done away, aril that t-en outy is, in future, to be performed by the brigadier-G vterals of,,their respective brigades. By this method, a considerable saying will be made to Cov.•rnmerr A great number of the new invented carriages for conveying of troops are preparing at a coach maker's, in Greek-street. Upwards of sixty are now ready fin immrstiate service; these would convey near 1,000 own. „ A Court df DiHctnrs was yesterday held at the Fast India "owe, when the dispatches received from Ind, by the overland packet, were laid be fore the court. We do not !cam that am public intelligence, further than what we have stated, re seeding lie shipping in Indi t, has been received this conveyance Ihe dispatches by the last ships of the season were filially clortsd. and delivere.l to the Pursers,' with orders to loin, tbeir ships at Portsmouth, out delay.
