'fit a damage sustained by the Enemy in the At. tack of Tuesday night upon their flotilla at Bou. logne is not exactly known. Many of their Vet. ash have been destroyed, and particularly the small Craft, which came out to their assistance. The Brigs, Prams, Loggers, Schooners, &c. wets so complete. ly surprized, and thrown into such a state of confusion by the explosion of our Fire-ships in the midst of their line, that they were utterly incapable of making any resistance, but, cutting their cables, hurried in as close under their Batteries as the depth of water would allow them. In the meats time our Cruizers closed in upon them, and annoyed them with grape and other shot for several hours. The destrudion of men on board the Flotilla must have been very considerable; but other ad. vantages will result from this attempt with Ex. .ploding Vessels that are incalculable. We now know the imprat` . ticability of the Enemy's' fisselll. bling without their harbours any numerous force to send over at once ; and to start directly from their harbours is utterly impossible. If we can attack and completely disperse iso Sail of their best and largest kind, and cause them to skulk into their Harbours, .without the loss of a single mate, and by the buroing of a few old Hulks of little value, we have. little to apprehend from any Force they may have calculated upon accurnu.

Letters from Rome state, that the Negotiation between the POPE and BONAPARTE related to a re. quest that the latter should take the same oath, with respeet to the rights of the Head of the Church, as the former Kings of France : the result is not stated. It is reported 'in • Letters received at Amster. dame from Si t Martin's and St. Eustatius, that an English Vessel from Jamaica to Landon had been carried in there and sold. According to a Notice published at Brussels, all young men horn between the 241 h of September 1783, and the 23d of September 174, are immedi ately to enter their names in the registers for Mi. litary Recruiting ; not even those who are ruptured are exempted.

BOROUGH, sat 25 COMaliSSiailefi in the name of the KING. We are authorized to contradid a paragraph to. pied from the French into some o f the English Newspapers, in which it is stated that Sir JAMES CRAUFURD broke his parole in quitting France. It is impossible, at present, to lay before the Pub. lic the circumstances of this Gentleman's departure from that Country, in which he was treated with uncommon rigour. Suffice it, therefore, in the mean time, to say, that be was ,not hound 6 J any w tie hate.ver to remain ;n o it.

A Convoy fir the West Indies is appointed to sail from Cork on the Ist of November. We have received a Letter from our CotlCSpond ent at Paris, of which the hollowing is an extratt : "'While you are busy in England, speculating upon the 'destination of our Expeditions and Arm talents from Bret, Rochefort, and "foul ; while y,in are sending them sometimes to Sicily and Sardinia, and sometime, to Ireland or Egypt ; the general opinion in our political circles is, filar of the three tit these Squairons that have land Troops on hoard, two are ties' fined for the, Brazils, one diredly, aria the wher alter it has, on its passage, placed a gar. rison in (I.e Id•tnd of Madeira. Every one who pretends to any knowledge of what is passing in the political world, a%fierts,ai certain, that the Courts of M eirtil, and Lisbon, perfeCtly under.

Before BONAPARTE quitted Aix.l4.Chapelle he held a Council of Mili tar y Officers, and di s p atc h e d or d ers to, Boulogne, Brest, and Toulon, to hasten, as is supposed, the execution of his meditated Plan of In. vasion. Letters recently received from the West. ern and Southern Coasts, do not mention any ex. traordinary adivity in these several •Porte; nor contain any account of the sailing of any Fleet or Flotilla. That every preparation, however, is made for the purpose, is evident, as even the heavy I.ry from Besaeeln, Metz,. and Luxembourg, has been sent with extraordinary expedition to the Camps upon the Coast ; and, within these ten days, upwards of 1 630 ammunition waggons and caissons have passed through this Capital for the same des. titration. Yesterday Genctal Mu RAT, the Governor • of Paris, published, by heat of drum, an order to a ll officers belonging to the Regiments of the Army of England, now absent upon leave, to juin their respeihive Corps, brfore the .0b Vendemaire, year 2 (the 26th instant), under pain of being punished as Deserters. Even Officers who are Members of the Legislative Body, and of the Tribunate, are not excepted from the operation of this Order. Many here are weak enough to believe that tiONAPAKTE relies more upon his secret Adherents in England, than upon his Army and Armada from prance; al. though every public and private information from England stews the fallacy of such an expdtatiun."

GpAitioCK, Oct. 2.—The Mary, GIBSON, of and from this Port for Newfoundland, is put into Lochryan, after being Is leagues to the westward of Tory, having sprung her foremast. Extra& of a Letter from Mr. Fluott MATiftsiitt, dated on board the Seaborne, off Toulon, July is, 180+:--" I have volunteered my services, wh ic h have been accepted on account of my knowledge of,.the language, yet as they all, except the last, ended in the capture of a few flitting-boats, which: were returned, and we only had a tew shot Om the batteries whistling over our heads, I did not think them worthy °fa Letter ; but a, the lavt, of the loth instant, was of some consequence, I give you the following account of it " I repaired, at nine P. M in the yawl cf the Seaborre, in company with the Launch anl Cutter, on hoard the Narcissus, where we joined three of her Boats, and lour of the ilioartoire's. At ten we put ofi front the Narcirrur, in two divisions, Lieut. TuorarsoN leading, (I was second in the star. board division,) for the little Port of La Ventura (from which we were distant between four and five miles), in which there were laying about thirteen Vessels, of from 8o to 160 tons, under the prove. Lion of their guns. At about twenty minuses after eleven the Enemy began firing musketry at us, we being then within thirty yards of the beach; in about five minutes they begin firing from the great guns, upon which every Bat made the best of her way towards them ; my Boat luckily pulling well I got up at haliafter eleven, and immediately tun under the stern of the second Vessel front tne to windward, receiving ;t warm salute of musketry, just as I was getting forward to board with five of my men, which knocked down two close behind me (one of whom, the son of Mr. ALF JCANORR. WATT, of the Trinity House, wai wounded in the ear). On boarding, they kept ue a co:tA fire I from the Vessels on each aide cif u+, htit the n;gl was so excessive dark, that they only hit on whom I saw no more ; and, with the remainit two, I kept possession ; but finding it impossib to get her our, from the wind being dead on tl abort', and the Vessels all moored head and stet and lashed together, I went down in the_Cabin set her on fire ; in five minutes the other Boa began to pour in fast, so that the French - findir ail resistance vain, deserted their Vessels, at swam on shore._ . At forty minutes past eleven ir Vessel began - to - blaze furiously, which gm the people on shore an opportunity of pickir us off ; however their fire was warmly returned our two Launches, with a carronade each, and son musketry. " By midnight most of the Vessels were in blaze, and from that time till one A. M. there W; a constant fire on both sides ; and then the sign being made, we returned on board, end - the Bosi towed out one small Vessel of no value. " The damage done to the Enemy must be at lest I 2,0001. as but two Vessels escaped the flames, an' they were mostly deep laden. Our loss was rathe heavy : I belies% in the whole, one Midshipnua and one seaman killed ; two men missing, Boi l likely wounded and burnt ; one Lieutenant WAY wounded ; five Midshipmen and Mates, and eights" men, wounded.—The French Fleet at Toulon still keep close in."

While he remain" ed st Camden Fort, several telegraphic signals Woe interchanged between that place and the free pital.ship, with great celerity and very gre at sc; curacy, and those too of an unezpeaed and ungi gh kind.
