'• I ' 'LI. 8, yulunie 1 It. for tto.l, wiN ke published ifl IT appears by our Dover Letter, that the fir. ing on the French Coast continued the greater part of yesterday, but no further particulars have reached Town. It is reported, that the Enemy's Flotilla have returned to the Inner Harbour of Boulogne, but on this point we have received no authentic information this, however, is clear, that they must either return, or put to sea imme. diately, for it is not to be supposed that BONA. PARTE will let them remain in -their present situa.. tim,, where the greater part of them would be expos. ect to destruelion, even, in a moderate gale of wind. It is said that tl►e Master of a Neutral Vessel, which was sent into Dover by the Champion, for a' breach of Blockade, declares that he wai at 800.. higne on Sund.iy, when BONAPARTE addressed the Army, and assured them he would not leave -that place till the Expedition had sailed. We at. tacit no credit whatever• to this report : neither the 'names of the Master nor of the Vessel are men. .tioned, and it is very improbable that•BONAPARTE would commit himself by so positive a declaration as that which is attributed to him. Ws have this day extrafied from the Moni. teur scum observations upon the .condud of the KfNG of SWEDEN, and on the Notes presented on behalf - of His Majesty to the Diet at .Ratis. bon, which for insolence and scurrility far exceed any which have hitherto been made even in that scurrilous and insolent Journal. Whilst they dis. play the petty malice and little mind of the Usur. per, they evince a soreness ,and irritation, which prove how much he has been galled by the recent conduel of the Northern Powers; and how much it has served to inspire in him a fear for the result of a contest which it is now evident he cannot avoid. It is clear, indeed, that the must common policy would have diaated to IiONAPARTE to refrain, how. ever great his inclination, from making so gross a. personal 'attack upon a high.spirited Sovereign in amity with Russia, if • he" had not considered the sword as 'already drawn, and the scabbard thrown away. The observations we have alltkled to, are penned in a style'ef low malignity, 'which still further degrade even the French Government, steeped as 'it is in disgrace and infamy ; whilst at the same time they exhibit the deep, 'insidious, and Revoltition.lry policy of France. The SubjeBs of Sweden are flattered, and an attempt is made to separate their interests from those of their So. vereign, with views too obvious to need a de., tail, We cannot help thinkiog that this gros attack upon Ills Sw EDISII :MAJESTY must materially contribute to bring the atnirs of Europe to a crisis, as it can only be considered as a Declaration of War.
