The Sun. — London, England, 1804-07-31 00:00:00

Fi AVR "JULY t 7O--Yesterday evening, at a quarter Oast eight, just as the sun wai setting, an English F,ctadron, composed of two Ships ,of the line, four Frigates, three 13umb.ketehes, with two mor tars in each, One Corvette, and three Cutters bore down. upon our line at toouth of the Harbour, having a slight breeze from E. N. E, awl advanced to the . distauce of frinn't Z`to 'soo' fatliotris from the shore. The? weri - eovitalty'a line of 26 car. ronades, -and. ' Silt giln.bOilts'i which were moored at zso fathoms f.er and:wide. The Enemy commenced the attack by throwing their bombs, and firing a volley of cannon. Our and land:batteries returned-the compliment with a general discharge. The fire of the English was then but trifling. We sent them nmhing but sheds. The adion finished at half after nine o'clock. 'rite approach of night pre. vented us from ascertaining the result of this 0:lir; however, one English Ship was su disabled as to be forced to quit the Line. The greatest praise is dtie to . the zeal, activity, and precision of our 1 - I.n. gineers by sea and land. Candour also compels us to acknowledge that the fire of the Enemy was diretted, and !hat the distance at which their shells were thrown was calculated with great ex fitness, since they mostly fell in a diredion towards our line of defence, and often between that and the shore. Our mortars carried at first too far ; it teas therefore necessary to diminish the charge, especially of those lately construettti, which : Wis re. duced to two thirds. Fortunately we have not ex. verienced the smallest either, in the shipping or the houses and batteries on sir re.

Tats day at half past two o'clock, 'His INAJI►,s. TV went in State to the House of Peers, and put an end to the Session of Parliament, with a most Gra. cious Speech from the Throne, which we stop the Press tp present to our Readers. " hey Lords and Gentlemen, Before I put an end to the present Session of Pdrliament, I am desirous of expressing My entire approbation of the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the great oh. os of Public Concern which have come under your consideration., " You have wisely continued to direEk your at. tension to tl►e encouragement and improvement of that respeetable and powetful Volunteer Force, which the ardour and spirit of My" Subjects have endbled Me to establish, to an extent hitherto un exampled. " You have at the same time endeavoured to combine an additional establishment for our 'Dn. mestic Defence with the means of augmenting our Regular Army, and of i maintaining it on such a scale as may. be proportioned to the circumstances of the times, and to the' rank which this Country ought ever'to hold among thf! Powers Europe. " Gentleinem of the Hoye ofcomthons, " You are entitled to My warmest Acknow. , ledgments for the fresh.proof which you have given Me of your 6ffenionate attachment to My Person and . Family, and your regard to the Humour, and Dignity of My Crown, by the liberal Piovision which you have made for the Paymen't of the. Debt on My Civil Li;t Revenue, and for furnishing, Me with the additional Means of defraying the, increase which has unavoidably taken place in the Expenditure. I must also different branches of My return you My warmest' banks for the extensive Provision which you have made for the exigencies of the Public Service, and especially for the just and prudent attention which you have shewn , A true Er...nniny, and the Permanent Credit and Welfare of tile CoUntry, by the great Exer. tions you have .male for preventing as fir ;1 pwsible, the acctimulation of Del7 , t, and for raisins; su large a prop rtion of the Expellees of the War within the year, " My Lard: and Gel/11mm, I have now only to recommend to you to carry into your respenive Countie4 the same zed for t h e P u blic Service which has guided all your Pro. ceeclings. It will be your li.iriicular duty «.) sate on the minds of all clas&es of my Subjeas, that the preservation of all' that is most dear to theca requires the continuance of their unremit. ted exertions fur the Nation4l I.)tence. The pre, parations which' the Enemy has•long been' forming, furlhe declared purpose of invading this Kingdom, are daily augmenting, and the attempt appears to have been delayed only ,with the view of procuring addiiional means for carrying it into 'execution. " Relying on the skill, val , ior, and discipline of my Navala.nd Military Force, aided by the volut►tary kcal aid native courage of my People, I lunk with confidence to the issus) of this. great en( {NI, and I doubt not that it will terminate, und,r lin: blessing of Providence, not only in revelling the danger of the moment, but :in establishing, in' .the eyes of Foreign Nations, the Security of this Country, on 3 ILISIS never to be shaken. In addition to this First and Great Objct, I . entertain the animating. Hope, that tie benefit to be derived .from our successful ,exertions will not be confined within ourselves; but that by. their example, arid their . con. sequences, they may lead to the mestablishment of such ',System in Europe as may rescue it from the pteearinus state to . which it is' reduced, and may filially raise an el Actual harder against the . • unbounded schemes of aggrandizement and ambition which . threaten every Independent Nation that yet remains on the Continent." A Messenger, we understand, has been sent ofr to His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WAI.Es a t Brighton, on a very interesting subject, the par. titulars of which we hope to conununicate to our Readers to.motrow.

It does - not, however, appear that even the pre sence of the new Emperor has been' able to oblite rate the recolleCtiort of the severe chastisement which hi's boasted Flotilla received a few days ago, forventotiog out a little too far, for they have te. mained pettedly quiet ever since ; and the little manouvering which was exhibited fur the amuse. ment of BoNA . gAitTE, was very prudently performed in the Inner Harbour., The principal object, how ever, which .induced BONAPARTE to Visit the , Camps, was, if possible, to allay the discontents which have manifested theMselves very openly among the Soldiery. 'We do not thick, however, that the Official Notification lately issued by the Minister of the Marine, will much contribute to re store the Troops to good humour. It states, that it havio , g been found impossible to find Seamen enough to man their Vessels of War, Ni: Majesty had. been pleased- to order that Detachments of Troops shsold be embarked to supply the de. ficiency. In order, however, to encourage them, and: to reconcile them to this new species of ser. vice, his Corsican Majesty has been , pleased to or der that Bounties shall be given of from half-a. crown to six shillings and eight.pence each man. The French Papers contain a short account of the Bombardment of Havre, but no notice whatever is taken of the. damage dune to the Town. or the Vessels in the Harbour.
