Chit( Consul far the Coast, though it is asserted upon the authority of the Frenchmen taken on board the Gnn.boat, that he had reached Boulogne. This information we think very little to be relied on. THE Gazette of last night contains an Official Account of the Capture of the French National Gun Boat, No. 86, by the Goalie Gun-brig, corn. manded by Lieutenant CHAMBERS. She had on board one Sub-Lieutenant, Twenty-sewn Non. commissioned Officers and Privates of the .16th Re. giment of the Line, and Six Seamen, and %sus armed with one long Eighteen-pounder,, pne long Eight. pounder, twenty-three Stand of Arms complete, Sabres, Pistols, and other mind! Arms. WE mentioned some d i m ago that in the higher political circles it was very generally circulated and belieied, that overtures were making from the Mi.. nister to Mr. Fox to take an alive .share in the Administration of the affairs of the . Country.— We are now satisfied that this report is not ill founded. The negotiation we have reason to believe is at this moment carrying on through the medium of Mr. SHERIDAN, and no doubt it will'be attended with the desired success. Mr. Fox it is supposed, and indeed all his previous declarations prepare us fot such an event, will exert his influence to prpeure / the restoration of Peace. The man Who. tejaiced that the Peace of Amiens was glorious for F.'nce, is to be employed to sue to the same Power for a re storation of that disgraceful Peace! for it cannot . be presumed for a moment that, in our present circum. stances, the terms would be more favourable to us, or even so much so, as those were. The assumption •of Mr. TIIIRNEY to the Ministry was an unequi. vocal confession on the part of the Minister of. hi s own weakness—Mr. TIERNEY was taken in at the particular moment to prevent his threatened exposi. Lion of the fallacy of Mr. ADDINGTON'S Financial statement of the zoth of December last, which, what ' ever he may be persuaded to the contrary, has not been, nor ever can be forgotten, at least to the East. ward of Temple Bar. But Mr. Arid ItiCTON now finds that it is not in Finance only that he is vul nerable, and he is therefore casting about for aid against the meeting of Parliament, Having boldly renounced those principles whickfirst recommended him to the favourable opinion of the Public, and deserted those friends upon whose support he could alone depend for his existence as a Minister, he partly threw him. self into the arms of the Old Opposition, aid noia , finds it necessary to complete his political apostasy by an union with their Leader. Painful as the task may be, nay as it must necessarily be, we shall not fail to expose this hideous policy to so ''.l:dignAn Public:- In addition to the rumours which exist in the same circles, is that which we hint&l at a few days ago, viz. that Mr., SHERIDAN Was to supersede.' Mr. Ti ERN . EY as Treasurer of the Navy. The former Gentleina; certainly can be of much ,more use to the Ailinister awn the latter, and 'as these changes' have for their objeft only to keep the Minister in his plaCe, it is, natural that the man who can most contribute to . this end should be preferred.

" It may appear extraordinary, but it is a fa6l, that our Gun-brig fired several 'broadsides at the French Gun-boat before she was taken, without touching her. No 'doubt was entertained by our men that the carnage was great, our ship being very near at the time. On'a close inspedion, however, it appeared that not one shot had hit the boat; and the failure arose from het being so very low in the water. The enemy did not lire a shot, The Piize-master says, that when they entered her they found all on board, with the exception of the lain and two or three others, very sick. Upon nut boarding her, the Frenchmen immediately 'Steste . i cask of brandy, which they emptied in a trice. On, inquiry it appeared that many of them were in a state little short of inebriation when they left Boa. 'agile harbour. It was esiadly nine o'clock when the Gunboats came out of Boulogne, and about ten the Coe/118 fell in with her, The Prize Wee such an indifferent sailer, that the Gun-brig was obliged to take her in tow; and if a heavy set had come on,' she must inevitably have sunk. In fad, from being so very low in the water, and so broad in her beams, it would be a moral impossibia lity.for her to . live in a brisk gale. Before she had proceeded two miles on her way to the Downs, she shipped so much water that the Brig was obliged to leiter fall astern, in order to prevent her sinking. The eighteen-pounder in her bow occasio ne d her tod N make a dead roll every instant, 21 11 it ha CI, an Area on the stomach, that even the Prize-inasier 864 one of our seamen were afeded by it. It was seven in the morning (yesterday) when they left the French coast, and the Prize did not get into the Downs until halfalter three in the afternoon. AS soon as they came to anchor the English Colours were hoisted. 'When that was done the Master of the Gun-boat and the Witary Captain were °Tatra,. ed into the Gun brig. The men remained on beava until the instrudioes of the Admiral, Lord KEITH, were received, to whose squadron the Coejlia be longs. The 26 soldiers on board are all very stro n g. well-built young men ; but I must confess I ne ver saw men in m y lif e who gave me so strong an id ea of the term cut-throats. Their angry looks and unshaven beards, added to an appearance naturally ferocious, do not at all agree with the manners of civilized nations, but bespeak the ruffian bent 9n pillage and murder! They are all ext(etpely . wel l clothed.: over their uniform they wear..tbe cogle kind of frock and trowsers as our artilleryihopog . o a cocked hat, and the national cockade. On actin' speftion of their ayes, a chest of arms, and a ton' bee of pikes were found. The pikes are from fifteen to sixteen feet in length. The head of the pike is not made like ours, they rather resemble our ser• jeants' halberts; they ;:re about a foot long. 9 , 1 the lia,ll deck, near the bow, is the part opet° - primed for cooking their viduals, of which they •had a supply sufficient for three or four deys, and near that is a bed ofltraW for the men to sleep on ( who,the French seamenhye, espe ak s ' xir known boing been 7 to the Deal boatmen, eme of ttowmc..
