French seem to hi very naturally desirous to ;I,c-co:tin, by experimefitit what reliance they ciace lipot) their ii ew-constitt;:ted ain-boats, they v,::,iture to attempt tuoross thu Channel, Tne vigilance, or, as it is termed is France, the insolence of the British Cruizers, has not only hitherto prevented the Flotilla from coming out to sea, but has kept this formidable force so closely pent up, as not even to allow it room to manceuvre. On Monday last, however, the Boulogne Gun-boats, to the number of fifty-three, advanced in order of battle into the Roads, but after a few shots from our Blockading Squadron, they very prudently re. turned into Port. The Vessels appeared to be full of Troops, but there is no reason to suppose that they would have attempted to cross the Channel, even if they had not been obsttuted by our Naval Force. It was probably merely intended to accus. tom the Troops to embarking and disembarking. Our Dover Letter states that a cannonading was heard yesterd-ty, apparently in the direetion of Calais, which most probably anise from a similar cause. THE Spanish Consul in London has published a Circular Letter to the Spanish Vice-Consuls in this Country, which confirms the statement we made a few days ago, that the Order issued by our Govern ment was merely to prevent British Ships sailing to Spanish' or Portuguese Port's without Convoy. " Oatibtr 22, Igo3. 46 FROM IvITOUELDL LARREA, ESQ, SPANYSII CON. SUL GENERAL IN LONDON, TO SPANISH VICE.CONNUL. IN 4 ' To clear up any doubts touching accounts which have baen circulated within.the,se few days, in the public Papers of this Capital, of an Embargo being laid on Spanish and Portuguese Ships, I now inform you that his Exce:ieney the S pani . sh Minister iuving passed a Note to the Court of London respelling this particular, I lis Excellency Lord HAWK?.,. BURY answered him, dated yesterday, That no such Em bargo had been ordered ; and that the Order which had been given was, that no English Ship should depart withont Con. voy for the Ports of Spain and Portugal, on account of the many English Prizes that the French Privateers had made on those coasts ; all which you will make known publicly, to contradi& the very great falsehoods of tlth public Papers." A Mail from Du of the 25th, arrived this morning, Two of-ifftotell",; , ;,Associates have been convieted at Downpatrick, and since executed. AN Article which appeared in the Courier de Londrer and which was translated into some of the English Papers, purporting to be a letter from MotteAtr, we are well assured from very good authority is a fabrication. By the Most authentic information recently received from France we are informed that MOREAU had been offered, and had accepted the chief command of the Army destined to invade this Country. This was an .offer of policy nn the pert of the CHIEF CONbUL., If Mott sAu had refused it he would have appeared a suspetted charaOck, and by his having accepted it BONAPARTE hopes he may get rid of a formidable Rival—Besides MOREAU is popular with the Army, and it will probably require a Leader of the greatest popularity to induce the Army to embark on so desperate an enterprize. MOREAU too has the charader of disinterestedness and liberality- . The immense contributions which he levied in G erman y he shared with his Officers and men, and thereby gained a great share of his popularity— The Army are taught Co hope that he will share in an equally liberal way t h e vast plunder which they hope to reap in England. His Royal Highness the Dtricit of CUMBERLAND leaves town on Monday for Winchester, to take the command of that Distti.d. His lt,yal Highness has taken Mr. MAYLBft's house at CIAWley. Yesterday in consequence of a circular letter from the War-Office, all the French, who are prisoners of war in Great Britain, went to be marched from the maritime clistrids,..Oader the proper escorts, into the interior of the kingdom. The number of prisoners amounts already to 12,000 seamen. A Gentleman who left Lisbon on the 6ih, says, that there was not, when he left Portugal, the most distant idea of a submission to an alliance with F ra nce. So long ago as the 27th of last month, our Merchants were, told by the• Consul order of Lord ROBilitT F1:1"4% . ERA.1.D, that t h e y should take every precautionary measure that they could. It is understoOd, that . the Portuguese Mi_ nistry have agreed, that the British goods in the Custom-house shall be shipped free of duty.

Came in the Pre=via: Bomb . , from off Boulogne, and the Comfit'? from the Note. Ins Majesty's Ship Circe eante in this afternoon from off Flushing. Arrived two Dutch Doggerq, lad e n with timber, sent in by the Immortalite Frigate. Captain Blows; is appointed to command the Inconstant Frigate, and Captain St - nil/HARD to the Thisbe. entn the, French Coast some interesting ad vices have been brought by our Cruizers, relative to the proceedings of the Enemy, at Boulogne.— On Tuesday last general review of the Army in that neighbourhood took place, followed by a sham fight of several hours duration. A number of the Troops were embarked on board the Gun.boats in the Harbour, which being perceived by our Crutzers, our, brave Tars determined that the Chi zenti should not have all the s p ort to themselvey, and accordingly several shot were fired among tl,ern, by the ,lrcher Gun-brig, and the Lark, Harty, and Pei:mu:4s Bombs. Fitty-three of the Enemy's Boats, well manned, ventured out some l i ttle distance, but not sufficiently far to give our Flotilla fair play ; and they were enabled to retire without having received any material damage from the British fire, The Archer. Brig was, at the commencement, so close in upon the harbour, as to hear the soldiers huzzaing on their being embarked. The troops on shore fired with great regularity, and exceedingly quick, hut our people were not sufficiently near to ascertain their numbers. At seven o'clock in the evening, the Archer anchored within three or four miles of the Enemy ; and our little Flotill,t were perfealy ready to cog ige the whole of. the Boats had they thought proper to come out.. 'The Harry Dundat, Excise Cutter, commanded Lieut. Moak 's, of the Royal Navy, which is ar rived•at Deal from Jersey, brings intelligence from that. Island, by • which it appears that the inha bitants are in hourly expeaation of an attack, the Flotilla at St: Maloes and Concale being in complete readiness to under i take it ; and to increase its force, all the Newfoundland craft in the neighbouring Ports have been pressed into the Public Service. The Artillery and provisions are down upon the shore in a state of readiness for embarkation. The people of Jersey, however, are in high spirits, and prepared to give the enemy a very warm reception. The inhabitants volunteered their services to throw up redoubts and other works, which are now corn_ pleated. Th e several batteries arc also supplied with shells of a new invention, being filled with musket.balls, and arc calculated to be thrown with equal precision from a long gun as from a mortar. Mr. Sit ERI'DAN has often declared that lie would, in all fluattations of Party, adhere to Mr, Fox.-- Hence it has been inferred that the latter h coming into power, and froM the conclad of the Minister, it seems not unlikely that he would coale sce wi t h any body, in order to shew that he could do without t h e only man who could effeetually extricate him from his difficulties, and enable him to bid defiance to the Enemy, Though there is so much difficulty in comprehend. ing the /meow Tax aod conttariety,of opinion in most people, yet they all agree in believing, that they understand it full as well as the framer:, DOVER, OCT. 23. A heavy cannonading has been heard Coast of Frauce to-day, and by the direaiun of thy sound, appeared to come from Calais. Nothing lot transpired as to the cause of it. WEST-INDIES. o'clock, His Maj Sr. JOHN'S, (ANTIGUA), SEPT. 6, 1 : $03. ON Monday night, between : eta - en' itn &twelve. esty's Ship Emerald, 644. joil. O'fiat Err, being off that part of Guadaloupe; 0110, Englishman's Head, discovered 1$ Sail of isonif t Vessels, consisting principally of Armed Schooner s ' steeting in a direEtion towards English flatboat, which, as soon as they perceived the Frigate, mediately tacked about and made for the shore, por• sued by five boats well manned and armed from the Emerald ; in this they presently succeeded, getting under the guns of their own batteries, by which an incessant fire was kept up on the Frigate's boats, as. sisted by, it is supposed, near 600 troops who pip ed the shore. Their exertions, however,,could,rnot pte•ich vent the capture of three of the Schooners , in wh our gallant Tars arrived safe in English Harbour on Tuesday morning. One of the Schooners mounted 6 carriage guns, the other two were unar med. The boats of the Emerald were•,nearly destroyed, the g barge receiving a shot between wind and water, and the i bein cut almost in two. We are sorry add g , that th e launch with 20 men an d two Officers is missing. The Emerald lost two men killed, and had four wounded, amongst whom is Mr. CHAN.. to PION. Midshipman; 33 Prisoners were taken in the three Schooners, one Of whom is a Re not Lieutenant. It has been said, but we hope it is true, that some of the Emigrants who had le,. re pp in this Colony, formed a partof the expesitts?", uftio the objed of which was undoubtedly the.destr of the Dock-yard at English Harbour. To ap?rt. elate the service rendered upon she present occasion, by the Officers and Crew ofHis Majesty" Ship to the Islands in rad, not only to this Colony, but general, we must relied upon the consequences thin publican would have followed, had the Enemy succeeded to their undertaking.
