THE SUN. SO,LIM QUI3 DICIat FALIIUM 4UDIAZ L 0 N I) 0 N, • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1804. Tx I derisive nature of the movements lately made by the .Enemy's Flotilla at Boulogne, and the neigh. bowing Ports, is the strongest confirmation of the opt. nion we have advanced, viz. that the Invasion will be immediately attemped. Every tide an additional num. ber of Vessels are moved from the Inner Harbour of Boulogne; they amounted, when the last accoun'ts came away, to about 350 sail : they were full of Troops, and arc so completely covered by the Land Batteries, that no attack can be made upcn them with any prospett of success, until they venture out to sea, and then we 'shall entertain very little appre. hension as to the event of the contest. It bas been observed by one of our Cotempora. rics, as_ perseveriog is ilhberal in its attacks upon the , present Admixtistration, that our Sqqadron on the Boulogne Station is not sufficientlynurnerous the best answer to this observation will. be the result of the Conflia which we are coofident will speedily t.lke ' e lace between our Squadron and the boasted Flutilk of France.. We know that the present Board of Admiralty have been indefatigable in their exertions to increase the number of our snr,oll Ships of ‘Var, and we have too confident a reliance on their knowledge and skill, to suppose that the Naval Force on that important Station is inadequate. It must, ' hoWever,'be obierved, that from the stran g e policy of the lite Board, of Admiralty, the present one lal had many difficulties to encounter, and They • were of a nature that Could not be' surmounted at 'once ; but we May venture to ',redid, without' any apprehension of being contratlitted by the event, that the present Board of Admiralty will prove it self deserving of the confidence and the gratitude of the Country. All the accounts which have been received from Dover, confirm the statement which we yesterday laid before our Readers, respeeling the attack upon the Flotilla at Boulogne on Sunday, the Vessel Oath was sunk was, as we cunjeaured, the Con. ; liintion Cum - ; she was struck by a bomb, which went quite through her without exploding. The Gazette of last night contains an account of the Capture of 'the celebrated French Privateer La Dloride (which we stated, .exclusively, yesterday). She has done.considerable injury to our Trade, 'and from her very - superior sailing, had constantly t tiCd r ed all the British Vessels by which she was chased, until she had the misfortune to fall in with La Loire. Stultify morning His Rapt Highness the CoM. ?amok tt in CHIEF went from'East 11, urns to Hail. 13.1 rrac kit, where-he reviewed the Royal South Gloucester Militia, under the comtnand of the Earl of 13e PIO LEY,.and itnutediately afterwards proceeded on Ili% route CO, WWII. The North Devon Regime:lt of Militia, under the Command of the Right Hon. Col.lord Bog INC:. pow, were reviewed yesterday se'nnight, near •Fal. M 'tub, by Gcneral WILPoan, who exressed him. sclt highly pleased at the good discipline of this Regiment., Yesterday the Loyal Southwark Corps was mustered at their Parade, Hoisetnonger - lane, ;,nd from thenee matched to Kennington Common, where they were inspeeted by, and went, through the Review IVl4nanivresbeinre Colonel ADD NB R 001 K r l the Distrin •Inyeeling Officer. The Regiment mustered upwards of 4.00 strong, exclusive of - their Sharp,Shooters, and went through all their marching evolutions. - in a very steady and soldier•like manner. In their firing they were particularly conspicuous for steadiness ; and most of all in a manoeuvre %here the left wing, by falling .back, and forming a quarter squ‘are on the right wing, forms a half q ilare to,repel Cavalry, the front ranks firing vol. lies, mid-taking a position to resist a charge of Ca. vairy, while the rear rank fire by files from right to left,, and from centre to flank. The effed ut this single and independent tiring ifinost excellent, and was well performed. Colonel ADD/ ND ROOKE ax. pressed himself pleased With 'the Corps, and at eii;lit o'clock they marched back to their quarters. At is reported, that the present' Inspefting Field Officers of Volunteer Corps are to he done away, anal that their duty is, in future, to be performed by the Brigadier-Generals of theirrespedive Brigades. By this method, 'a considerable saving will be made to Government. An alphabetical toll, by companies, is to he. made of every Regiment, or Corps immediately, tipeeifjing n distinct columns, the name, place of jade, and in -what 'pekrirh such place of abode is precisely situated, o 1 each man in each Corps ;, to further which pur. pc3e the Serjeanir a're to personally insped, teturn, And put down the exact places of their residexice, so s to be enabled to give an accurate return, which is, to be furnished by 'to.morrow 410011, at the Jatest, to the Lord Lieutenants of Counties for the, purpose 'of being laid before the Secretary of State. .

Marsden, Eq. dated at Cork the 22d of August, 1804. SIR, Captain Maitland, of His Majesty's Ship Loire (who'has been cruiting for the last three weeks for the protection of the homeward-bound Convoys), arrived hero this afternoon with the Blonde; a large French Privateer, of 3o guns, nine.pounders, and 240 men. Enclosed I have the honour of transmitting to you, for their ,Lordships' information, Copy of Cap. lain Maitland's Letter to me on the subjet, top. tlier with a List of Wound-NI on hoard the Loire. I have the Honour to he, &c. GARDNER. Loire at Sea, Aug. 18, 1804. *MY LORD, I have much ritisfaaion in annnuncing to you the capture (by His Majesty's Ship Loire) of a, Fri. gate Privateer, belonging to Bourdeaux, mounting 30 nine-pounders, with 24.0 men, which I had the. g md fortune to fall in wit►t in tat. 49 deg. 30 min. long. 12 deg. 20 coin. on the 17th instant ; she has been a wonderful annoyance to the British' Trade &tiring the present War, and is the Ship Cap. Lain Gordon 5.) gadandy contested wish, until the Wolverine was in the art of sinking. She held the Loire a chacc of zo hours, the last quarter of an hourbeing i running aitiun : from our situation, together with the darkness of the night, few of our guNs took effecl upon her till latterly.: Seven of her men were badly wounded, two of which are since dead. Six of the Loire's men were wounded, two• only se% erely, and, I am happy to add, are in a fair way of recovery. I have every reason to be pleased with the conduit of the Officers and Ship's Company I have the honour to command, during the short time the Aqion lasted, and feel satisfied, that had she been a Frigate of equal force to the Loire,' they wou:d have loit none of the credit they so deservedly obtained on a former.occasion. The Blonde had been out twenty days from Pas-, sage, in Spain, without having made any Captures. She is a very fine Ship, sails remarkably fa,t, and appears to me very well calculated for His Ma. jeSrY' I Service.

" And sends the hearers laughing to their beds." The general opinion on the Continent is in the affirmative, upon the quevtion,of Invasion.

Some persons even pretend, that LUCILN BONAPAATIL has sent proposals to Lou ts• XVIII. but that they have met with that contempt they deserve, twri remain unanswered.
