L 0 N D 0 N, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, xBO4. As there will be a Gazetts account published this evening, of the result of the experiment that was made upon the Blnlogne Flotilla, all the contraditiory Letters from Diver and Deal, by which the Public have been amused, or rather,kept in a state of anxious suspense, will deserve little attention. In the mean time we can most positively assure our IteaderF, that the Experiment has succeeded to the full extent of -the expedations that had been formed of it ; and that if the Enemy should dare, in future, to draw out ' their contemptible Flotilla in any considerable nom. bet's, the result of this first trial holds out a rea. sonable ground ofhope, that when put in practice on a more extended scale, their Destruction will be' inevitable. For our own parr, we are satisfied they will never give us the opportunity on the outside of the Pier. We cannot help observing, 'that whilst all classes of men, and all Parties, were rejoicing at the success of an experiment, which held out so fair and flattering a promise of annihilating, or ten. dering ineffectual, the attempts of a ferocious Enemy, to invade our happy shores, one single Morning Print, the known and avowed tool of a Party, endeavoured to impress its Readers with an idea that the experiment had completely failed. We could very well explain the motives and de signs which malignant jealousy has in view in thus attempting ,to propagate falsehoods ; but the motives are so generally understood, and the designs are so little likely. to be accomplished, that we feel it quite unnecessary to expoie them. We would advise, however, the Editor of the Paper we allude to, out of common decency, to give a hint to his Employers, to withdraw their Spies from the avenues leadlng to the Admiralty. Two Gotten6urgb Mails arrived this morning, by which we have the following interesting Letter : Scot:Knou.t, SEPT. t7.—Between 5 and 6 000 . Troops have been. ordered to repair to Stralsund immediate)y, to reinforce the Garrison there, as apprehensions are entertained that an attack mly be _made by the French Troops in Hanover, upon Po rlnerania, ,T he King is at present at Stralsund, but io expetted herein the course of the month.

FALMOUTH, OCT. 3.-- Arrived the Princes: Augusta Packet, THottrsorr, from Jamaica, with a Mail, in seven weeks. One of the Cutters belonging to 'our • Fleet'off Brest,. observed, on the z6th ult. a Convoy of 'fifty French Coasters, near the Port of Doti* lan, not far from Concarneau, which. it chased, and forced to take refuge under the protection of the Batteries. The place being very bad anchorage,- and the wind , • fair, thii Convoy sailed in the night, under the es.. cort offour lirst4ate Gun-boats, but were perceived . at clay-light by our, Cutter, and pursued immediately' as far as the river of Pont d'Aven, where the French Batteries began to open, a heavy fire, but without any , :ffett. At high water the Convoy moved nearer to the shore, under the strong battery of Rice, and our Cutteecast anchor at the distance of a league, with,the intent to cut out, during the night, some of the French Ships, Inc which purpose forty of its Crew had already volunteered. When they Were to let out on the Expedition, a small Boat was 'observed at a distance, rowing with its Oars MAIO towards our Outer. It had on board two,Fisherinen, ' formerly Chouans, known to the French Pilot on board our Ship, who came to inform us, that the Commandant of Concarneau,. suspettiog our . interit to cut out some of the Merchantmen, had put on b oar d t h e outermostYetrsels•two Companies of the t6th Regiment of the.

Cruizers• to desist. The description these Chouans . giVe.of the tyranny of SONAPAItTit and his Satellites is dread• fill : they declared' positively, that hardly. a day passes in which some.of the unfortunate inhabitants were not tried by Special Tribunals, and executed. At day-light their report was confirmed, as to the . 'preparations . to receive us. The 7);11/yrph Man of War, Calif.

We have received accounts from Ferrol, up to the tgth ult. which do not by any means en. courage the opinion of immediate hostilities with Spain. The Ships which were fitting out in that Harbour, • with great atilt, ity, are laid up. They were said to be intended to convey Troops to Bis. e:y to quell an' insurredion, which, as we 11, Mt' • tithe since,,melitioned, had happened there hut. counter-orders had arrived that these fames should repair thither by land. The docks, however, are preparing at Ferrol to receive several ships exped. ed from Cadiz, in order to undergo a repair. We understand also, iroin very good authority, that discontents prevail atriorg the crews tit the French Ships in di" 113 ri)(4" ; anti that two Officers of the • Squadron have refused to obey the orders of the Emperor. They were accordingly put under arrest fir their disobedience, and were to be sent immedi. atclY to Paris.

Petershurgli, for which place he is expetted to embatit on Monday. L rds MELVILLS, and FiAataw DV, and Mr. I'm, are expedted to leave Waluier Castle this day . fur London, DGVVIRINT accounts from. the Coast have spoken of the ere Lion of Martello Towers for the defence ofourSltores; but as the species of F o r tification now gen e rally ereaing is of a different descriptipO from that of the original Martell() Tower, it may be necessary to mark the distindion more accurately. than has .probably hitherto been' clone in the Public. mind. The original Martello .Tower . is. 2.' 0011 circular Port mounted with a Gun, a certain nom.. bet of which meted along a range of Coas t, ate capable or contributing very materially to its di. fence, by keeping even a formidable Enemy off Or a considerable time. This Fort is., however, la. movable, and the Gun placed in it can only aft td one dire Lion. The Forts or Batteries recently erected'on some patts of the Coast, and to which some individuals have given the name of Martello Towers, arc, on the contrary, capable of meting itt any direCtion. They are, in LA, no other than the . impregnable Battery invented some time since Ilea ingenious individual, who, together with his in . . , , ventinn, was negletted by Government, until the : return of Mr. PITT to office, when, in consequence. of .the strong recommendation Of Sir SIDNEY. . SMITH, the invention has been, adopted by Govern.. ment ; and there is every reason to believe that l'i will answer the most sanguine exile Cations whic4 may have been formed of its success. . The ,present Martello Towers, therefore, or Tower of Defence, or Impregnable Batteryi by: whatever name, it .may be called, is a triangular,' TOwer moving upon a pivot; by means of roller‘:. and having one Gun of a. large calibre' inot`intell ht. ~ one of the angles.
