LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVV4IIEII 21. The expedition which sailed, on Sunday night, from Dover Roads, under the .command of Sir Smote Sums, has lost much of its interest. This is easily accounted for. When it was first men tioned, a rept.i t generally prevailed, that a body of troops would be landed to storm the town of Bou logne, while a squadron of boats and brigs attacked the flotilla in the harbour. Some of the Opposition Pa pers,assuming the report,as a fatt, contrived to make, upon this ground, many serious charges against Go vernment. They surd, that when BoNATAITI broke up his camps to march to the Rhine, he onlyleft 4,000 troops behind for the defence of Boulogne; and that they had been since increased to 20,000, nosier the command of General BRUNS. They, therefore, complained that Government had lost the favourable opportunity for attempting eie enterprise, and were gui ilty of criminal neg1..61 and procrastination. The imminent, we now find, is upon a much more li mited scale, and confined merely to the operations of the squadron, without the support of a body of troops. lf, then, the result shall not prove as bril liant and extensive as was originally exne&ed, the danger and expense are diminished in the same proportion. Besides, if there be Tv) , 0 men now at Boulogne, tinder General Flstine, Government are not, on that account, Battle to censure. To overate a diversion, most have been a piincipal objeft of the expedition ; and if these 20,000 men, now at Boulogne, would have otherwise been in Holland or in Germany, a great advantage has been obtained, without the loss of a man, or the ex- pence of a guinea. The weather being very hazy on Monday and Tuesday, no observations could be made from our coast, of the proceedings or po sition of Sir Sioscsr S is; ries squadron. A very loud firing n-s kept up on Monday right, from eight to ten o'clock ; bur it proceeded entirely from the French ; and was, no doubt, for t l ,e purpose of alarming the country. At one o'clock, a. is. on Tuesday, the Lritish squadron were all ar anchor in Boulogne R cads. The French gun-bouts were, at the same time, arranged in line of battle, under the proteftion of the batteries. It was evidently the in- (cation of Sir Sierii.y SMITH to commence an at tack upon the enemy, as soon as the w.nd, then at south, should prove favourable. No further ac counts, however, were received at the Admiralty, at elate hour last tight. The Mrierrime fi igate, of 38 guns, Captain MANDY, has arrived at Falmouth, from Cork, having under cynvoy four sail of West-Indiamen, from Jamaica. Many inconett ri ports have been circulated respening the mortality on board Ole Africaims, on her passage from the %Vest Indies. We have been favoured, by one of the Officers, with the following fist of deaths :--Mr. Wm. Lt.oVID, Second Lientesaat, Lieusenant PELHAM, of the 15th Regiment, Mr. WHITTON, Captain's Clerk, Messrs. WILSON, DONALDSON. Bt Assay, and Wttkiiims, Midshipmen, Mr. RA e, Surgeon, thirty-three Sea men, and seven Marines.

The Colonel and Seconds imme diately went of. A trifling argument, respeding theethcacy of the Volunteer Corps, which arose at the mess on the preceding evening, and which ended in high words given and retorted, is assigned as thecause of this unfortunate event. It is singularly remark able as to circumstance and place, that, sincethe year 1696, till die present time, the sth regiment has not been permanently stationed in Canterbury. On tie eth of March, in that year, a duel was fought by two Officers of that regiment, Captain F. Rool.e and Etiiign A.
