THE SUN. QUIS DICSSI t4Lium Avosgrl LON DOAr,I EPTE2I,IB ER z 6, 1803. Twr► lianthurgb Maih arrived last iiight, by which we have intelligence from Paris to the mth instant, through the medium of the Paris jorfrlfah. The Moniteur of the 4th contains a great num. her of complaints against Portugal, of her having favoured English vessels, in violation of the neutra lity which she ought to have observed.. These were probably intended to pave the way for those exorbitant demands upon that Country, which ac. cording to much later intelligence have been since complied with, General DUFROE is said to be appointed Lieute. nant.Qeneral of the Army of Penland. &Knit E k will, it is said, bo appointed Commander in Chief. So►ne Addresses from the Italian and French Troops are inserted in the Parisian Journals, which .are of course tilled with stale inveCtives against this Country, and professions equally stale of unlimited confidence in the Ft 135 T Corrsut. and the utmost de: votion to his cause. One account from Paris states, that Qpneral Au. cimEnu was gone from thence to Bayonne, to oke the command of an Army of 35,000 men destined to march through Spain in order to attack Portugal. This, we suppose, was previous to the purchase of Neutrality made by the latter. All the Troops in the Departments contiguous to Paris, to the amount of too,oco men, are stated to have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march to the coast before the end of this month. BONATARTZ was expetied immediately to set out fur Si. Oinir's. The fitting out of privateers has been forbidden in all the ports of France. This measure is sup. posed to originate in an intention of employing them in the expedition against England. The Porte is seriously afraid of an attack upon Greece or Egypt, In the former country the in. t►abitanto 114ve evidently been worked upon by French inflneneF. A Russi an Fleet was expeaed soars' to 'pass the Dardanelles, and cruize in the IViediterranean. In Letters from Vienna we are told that the Russian Court has sent a new pruposition of media. Lion to London and Paris. The Emt.Etto it of Russ; 16 owed in letters from Naples, to have succeeded in taking off' front the Neapolitan Government the weight of supporting. the French Troops in the Provinces of Ovegfia and. ifbruzzS,.who are bereaftei to he supported at the expence of the French Republic. They are to be reinforced however by rB,OOO men. Their °Nett is stated to be the island of. Sicily., From Brussels of the loth inst, we learn that all the Vesseli .there, together with their Crews, bave'bcen liut in requisition by the French Govern. Tent. The French 'Army in Holland, will, it is stated, he reinforced tolo f ooo men. The Generals of most note appointed to the Ar•ny of Etigland, exclusive Of MAfislifiit and AUGRRRAU, whose services are tlated to have been 'accepted, arc said to be DRS. SOLLES, SRRRURIRR, LEVIIVRI, . LECOURRE, EARACIJAV.D'HILLIRRI, VICTOR, BELLIARD, Citt , SAGNE, SOUC/PIT, \YAWNER, and DOM DI, Ai ti F.'.. 'nett. is a report at Paris e that General RQ. cum,ta gAU had landed in France from St. Domingo. An official acconne of the late Expedition against Crair.)i4e, bas at length been published. The caterte 'of . Saturday' contains a letter from Sir )AME4 SAIMAA EZ ) detailing the partiaulars* . of the attack, from which it appears that the result has been much exaggerated. The bombardment was kept up for 3 hours, early on Wednesday morning the r 4th, and was renewed soon after five the next morning, and maintained till half past ten, when the 54uadrOn withdrew from the att ack. Twenty.. two French Gun Boats hauled out of the Pier, and kept up a very heavy fire upon our Squadron, with. ont, however, doing much execution. And nine afterwards attacked the Cerberuj when she ground, ed, but were forced to take shelter in the •Port. tint Sir JANses does not state ,that any of the Gun ilpats-vv'ere destroyed or captured. With morel to the damage done to the Town,' &c. Sir J,Sivtas says it was not possible to ascertain it, and merely observes, that as titr - ing the bombardment very few any) of the shells missed taking effea, it must. have beep oOns4ticrable, No 1066 was sttstab4 l l on our part. , In the same GAzette there is also a letter from Captain OWEN, of Hip Majesty's ship mmortallii, giving an account of the bombard:tient of Dieppe and Saint Valery en Caux, froth which it appears that the former town was.so fire ;o in three places, and at the latter, the enemy were for the most part driven from their hatteiies, whilst the inhabitants fled into the Country, and arc supposed to have suffered much from the direCtion in which rimy of the shells burst. On board our cittadron one man is missing, and fi.de were slightly wounded. BY advises from the Cape of Quoti !lope, dated the loth June, we learn that the French Squadron under the command of Admiral L;NO s $ consisting of one Ship of 74 guns, two Frigates, and a num. her of Traniports, had sailed from thence for Pon. dicherry with ltro Troors on hoard. It was sup. posed that it would touch at the Mautitius. It is therefore very possible that our Fleet in the Indian Seas may fali in with this Squadron, and if SQ we shall no doubt hear a good account of it, • This morning arrived the Dublit; Mail of the zad inst. It brings no news. We have taken from a Dublin Paper the Speech of Emmet to the Court, previous to Sentence of Death being passed upon him, Saturday more the Dugs of YORK arrived at Windsor on military, business with His MAJESTY. His MAJESTY attended by Lords WALSINQIIAM, CATHCART, General FrrzitoT, and Major I)Es. allow, took an airing on horseback by Ascot Heath and Swinley.

County ,of Kerry from tle Bishops, Peans, Chapters, Archdeacons, Clergy, &c. of the dioceses of Lincoln, Peterborough, Ban. gor, Chichester, Qloucester, and St. As4ph. A COurt.Martialhas been lately held onboard the Pillory, in the Mediterranean, on the Hon. Captain Woo.tiouse, and the Officers of the Re. rittance, fur the loss of that Ship.on . the jtst of May last, on Cape Sr. Vincent.

The burial of Lieut, ScoTT (late of the Prbicru Augusta Anniql cutter, who was killed' in an anion with two Dutch Privateers off the Texel, as men, tioned in out Paper of Saturday), took place at Do. ver on Sa t urday afternoon. At four o'clock his corpse,, wish one of the sailors, was taken out of the vessel, and the proces.ion proceeded to the elturch.yard in the following order i—ist, a company of grenadiers from the Oxtbrd Regt. of Militia ; next the Oxford band, and then the body of Lieut.

The funeral was-numerously attended by the lnliabitants, as a tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. Lieutenant Score was a' brave and excellent Officer. When conveying to his cabio after he had received his`death.wountl, he repeatedly cheered his men, and eihorted than not to give the Cutter away. When the great disparity force between the .PtriNersa Augusta . and the •Enerny is consider e d, much credit is d u e to t h e Offi cers an d Crew, for their spirited conduet the Princess Aglista carries only 8 four.pounders and it men ; one ot the D utc h Privateers was very large, and carried . at least 70' , men ; the other did not carry less titan so men, a n d bath or them had wuch heavier metalled ,gutis than the Cutter.

Admiral of the Blue, to Sir Er vgn Nepean, .Bart. dated on hoard Mt Majesty's Ship Cerherus, of Granville, the is . th irritant. SIR, I beg you will please to inform my Lords Com. niissioners of the P r ibniralty, that, having been joined by the Terror bomb on the Bth, and the Sulphur on the t 3th instant, I embarked on board His Majesty's ship Cerberus, and sailed from Guern. sey Roads the following morning, th the Char. well and Carteret Cutter in company. It blowing a strong breeze from the Eastward, it was not until Tuesday evening I was enabled to get off Granville, when, having had an opportu nity to reconnoitre the Enemy's Gun Vessels and other Craft within the Pier, and the different Batte ries by which they were protaltd, I anchored in the Cerberus as near Shore as the Tide would admit, having only sixteen feet at low water : at eleven the Terror came up, but having also grounded, it was not until two o'clock that Captain Hardinge was enabled to place his ship in the Position assigned to her, which he did in a most judicious manner, and lopped a brisk fire from his two Mortars, which was 'returned from the Mortar and Gun Batteries on the Heights near the Town, and also from some Guns on, the Pier, and the Gun-Vessels placed in the entrance. From the number of well.dire4led Shells thrown from the Terror into the Pier, and parts of the Town, I am persuaded they must have done very considerable damage. The fire was kept up till after five &clock, when I thought it adviseahle to recall the Terror, and anchored with this ship and the Charwell a short distance further from the Town. The Su!pile:. Bomb ' , whose bad sailing prevented her from beating tip, joined shortly after, and also anchored, The loss on this occasion vas two men wounded by splinters on board the Terror. A few, shells were thrown in the evening, but the Tide prevented .the -Ships getting sufficiently near to be attended with tpuell cad- This morning the Squadron were under sail be fore dawn of day, acid 411 circumstances concurred . to enable them to take their respedive stations with the utmost precision ; the two Mortar-Vessels ,opened brisk and well,direOed fire soon after five o'clock, which was unremittingly kept up until half-past ten, when th e f a lli ng Tide rendered it necessary to withdraw from the Attack. Twenty. two Gun-Vessels, that had hauled out of the Pier, drew up in a regular line, 4rxi kept up a heavy fire, jointly with the batteries around the port, with out doing much execution, The Cerberus, after getting under sail, grounded on one of the sandbanks, and remained above three hours befote she floated'; nine of the Gun Boats, perceiving her situation, . endeavoured to annoy her, and kept up a heavy fire upon her for some time, but were silenced by the Charwell and icite, anti also by the fire from the Sulphur and Terror Bombs, and by Carronade Launch of the Cerberus, under the orders of Lieutenant Mansell, assisted by the Wing and Carteret, which obliged them to take shelter in their Port, • In the performance of this intricate service I can not too' highly aplaud the zeal and persevering ex ertions uf all the Qificers and Men under my orders'; and I should no; do justice to the merits of Captain Selby, was I not to acknowledge the able assist ance I have received from him since I have had the honour of being in his Ship. The steadiness and good condua of all the Officers and men in the Cer bents, during the time the Ship was aground, also do them infinite credit. The various services on which Captain M'Leod, of the Sulphur, and Captain Hardinge, of the Ter ror, .have been employed this War, are already suf ficiently known, but 1 will venture to assert that in no instance can they have displayed greater zeal and gallantry than on the present occasion ; and great praise is also due to Lieutenant Maya tney and Lieutenant Smith, and the parties of Artillery embarked on board the respative Bomb Vessels. it is not possible to ascertain the damages the E,nemy have sussained on this occasion, but as, during the Bombardment, very few (if any) of the Shells missed taking effeet, they must have been very con siderable.

MY LORD, In obedience to the order of Rear Admiral Mon. tagu, I, at eight o'clock this morning, in company with the Perseus and Explosion Bumbs, commenced an Attack , upon the Batteries which proted the town of Dieppe, and Veiisels building there (in number, seventeen). The firing was continued on both sides till put eleven, when the Lee Tide making strong, and the Town having taken fire badly in one place, and slightly in two others, I caused the Bombs to weigh, and proceeded with them off Sr. Valiery en Caux, where they are construeling six 'Vessels, and at three in the afternoon opened , our fire at that place for an hour. The E,nemy was for the most part driven from their Batteries, the Inhabitants flying to the country, and jud g i ng f rom thediredion in which many of the shell s burst, they mus t h ave soffv'red much. On a Service of this nature we cannot expeti to e,cape unhurt ; I have, l?oWever, pleasure in re. porting to your Lordship, that although the Ene. my's fire, especially'. from Dieppe (which is very strong in Batteries), was heavy and well..direaed,. and that many of their shot took effeti, our loss has been but small ; the Perseus has one man miss. ing, arid the Serjeant of Artillejv is slig l l l Y, xounded. The Boatswain of this Ship anti three Seamen were bruised by splinters, but did not leave their quarters ; the other damage (but that not ma. terial), is confined chiefly to the rigging, The marmer olexecating my instruCtions, and tilt judgment shewn in placing and managing the Bomb Vessels, entitle Capr. Methuist end Capt.

My opinion of the First Lieutenant of this Ship, Charles F.
