Port Letters front Dover. and Deal bring us intelligence of a very heavy and long-continued firing having taken place in the S. E. quarter, in the direction of Boulogne. It commenced on Thursday evening, and was continued the whole of yesterday ; and even at half past six o'clock last night, it was kept up with the utmost vigour. It was heard a: Deal till eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, and then the sound ceased ; from which we infer that our Cruizers had attacked some of the Enemy's Boats coming from . the Northern Ports, and as they tun to the Southward, , the :' sound ,died away at 'Deal,. but at Dover it was head in the manner and 'to the hour we have de , scribed.—The followin'oJst - Le:4er from Buyer on the subjed: Dover, ildarcb 9. Foes o'Ceoc . M .—During yesterday evening,. and the whole of to-day, an uncommon heavy firing has been heard here, which seemed to proceed from the direCtion of Bou logne, but upon what account we know not, as there is no vessel arrived from the other side, and as it has been rainy and.foggy the whole day, nothing could be seen from the heights, but it is conjetured here that our Ships were firing at some of the Enemy's Gun-boats which were attempting to get into Poulogne Harbour ; and as our Ships are provided with Bombs now, that will fetch upwards of tour miles, it is probable the Enemy will sustain a great deal of damage. . kia.l..F-PAST Six, P. M.—The tiring seems to be kept up with renewed vigour. SEVERAL reports prevailed yesterday afternoon, which we think it proper to notice, but which ace not worthy of any kind of credit. One was, that an Expeaitionhad sailed from Plymouth under convoy of several Ships of the Line and Frigates. No force, it is well known, has been assembled at Plymouth to furnish ground for any such, report. Another was, that Elsineur had been taken by the French.— This is more probable, but requires confirmation. It was likewise said, that MASSE NA and the Ex. Direaor CARNOr had been arrested. This may be true enough, but it does not at present rest upon any good authority: The report stated yesterday in some Letters from Deal, of a Counter-revolution having taken place in Yrance, is evidently of liome-fabrication. We understand that some persons here who are well informed, express apprehensions for the safety . of PICHtGRU, from which we ar e led to conclude that he has aaually left this Country. He was seen here, however, three weeks ago. Yesterday morning a Neutral Vessel was detained by the Guardship stationed at South End, in the mouth of the Thames, which had sailed on Wednes day from Rotterdam, on board uf which were a number of 'suspicious looking Foreigners. One Of them, calling himself ANDERSON, asserts, that he has some information of the first importance for Mr. ADDINGTON, and he has in his possession .a great number of Letters, chiefly for Foreigners in this Country. This man states that there are about 300 Vessels of different descriptions at Flushing , and the Troops had aaually embarked for four days, but being seasick, they were disembarked again ! At Amsterdam and R4tterriam there are five Sail ,ofMen of War nearly ,ready for launching,''and forty Pun-Nats will he ready in ten days. Yesterd3y some Dutch Papers to the 31 ;natant Were received, which, however, contain nothing of importance. 'they copy the Addresses to the Chief Consul his e§cape from assasstnat,:on, which it would be'a waste of room for us to give place to. We last eight recciverl Ilfoniteurs to the 26th they are chiefly filled with Addresses to the 'Fitts; CONAIL‘ on his. escape from the re- , • Ftkited Conspiracy, and several Ar 7 7hbis/ - ,ops have ordered solemn Thanksgivings in the Churches of their respeCtive Dioceses for the preservation of BomAr ARTE'S valuable life. Some Addresses have likewise been presented to Madame BJNAPARTE -upon this occasion. A Naval Military, commission was lately held at Brest, by order of the Ft Rsr CONSUL, on a person accused of having belonged to a Band of Chouans, of having embarked under a false name, and of hay. ing set fire to one of the Ships in the Port. He was condemned and executed. IN the House of Commons last night Mr. PITT gave notice of his intention of moving on Thurs. day next for some information relative to the State of the Naval Defence of the Country. As this momentous subjea is so soon to come be. fore Parliament, where we have no doubt it will undergo a full and serious discussion, we shall not at present offer any additional observations to those we have so repeatedly made. We entertain the confidence'that the discussion will be solemn and comprehensive, from the high quarter from which the Motion comes—a quarter in which more atten tion has been Paid to the Defence of the Country; and from which more effectual measures for its se. entity have flowed; than from all the exertions of all the Members of the present Administration united. Last night in the House of Commons, Mr. GIEEY asked some questions, relative to the state of HAS MA)E4 -- rY's Health, to which• no answer w'uatever Was given by Ministers.—There was jresterilai . a Commission in the House of Peers for the passing of some Bills, an at of 'Executive Authority which argues the Restoration of His M.Ajcs•ry to that state of Convalescence which enabies him again to attend to public busitless. Previous to the Cummission, Lord VITzwIL. ',twit expressed some doubts, with resped to the state of His MAJESTY'S Health; when the LORD ELI LitOtt. replied, that he had had an interview with HfsfMAJEsir . on the subjeCt of the Bills which were about to receive the Royal Assent by Commission, and that His MA JES - TY had expressed his assent to those Ban. Sir EDWARD PELLE w, in the Tenant of So guns, arrived on Thursday at Plymouth, from his station off Ferrol. He is probab'y come in that his Ship may receive some necessary repairs. This morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon, brought to Falmouth by the Wahingham Packet in 13 days. Yesterday at twelve o'clock the LoRD CHAN, CEL LoR had an audience of the ROYAL FAMILY. Princesses SA)kt t.t ;!ti d Mtr LI A were very -much indisposed on T;?ursday, but we are happy to sa y, they were much hctter yesterday. Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, Sir L. PEers paid the usual visit -to 11(Ir. ADDINGTON. It is said that a grand Dinner is to be given to-morrow by the Earl of CARLISLE to all the Members of the new Coalii ion. About forty persons are expecled to he present. It is almost unnec e s sa ry for us to add that Mr. PITT and his personal friends are not included in this Party. . . It is said Government have direeted six new Re giments of the Line to he raised in Ireland immedi ately., The following Noblemen and Gentlemen, it is understood, have got Letters 6t Service as Co lone's, with. temporary rank ; Lords BoyLE, c.:UN; NINGEIAM, and MP -THEN, the KN/G.HT of I(ElgtY, .and Mr. firiNc, ;Member for the County of Wick low. On Thursday, the 'West India Tvlerchants gave a most sumptuous dinner at the London Tavern to Lord SEAFORTH, the Governor of the Island of Barbadoes; and a numerous party of friends, Mr. JoRDAINE in the' Chair. • The Tattles were deco r _ ared with the most elegant trophies and emblematical device:i.

The Thunder Bomb, Capt. MASTERS ) came down from Woolwich to the Great Note. The 4/:din Frigate, Lord Pito sir, is to be dock ed at Woolwich, the dock here not being long enough to receive her. YARMOUTH, MA itcli 9.—Last night the. Nell;, 'of Sou,th Shields, RO 13 I NSO rt master, which had lately been stranded here, and was under repairs and nearly completed, took ffre, and was burnt to the water's edge ; fortunately the wind blew fresh at south.east, which prevented the flames commu. nicating with any other of the Vessels in the Hat bour, or the houses on the Quay. Ic is known, that by the_ drifting . of the sand up and down the Gut of the Channel, according as the high winds and tides set_ in, bank 4 were frequently formed, which presented the ;writ formidable ob stacles to common navigation. Reasoning upon this fad it was conceived, that by sinking a number of largee, vessels, deeply. and heavily laden in the mouth of the Port of Boulogne, a sandbank might speedily be formed, so as to put the whole Flotilla of the Chief Consul under His Majesty's lock. The idea has been adopted-018 or 2Q old vessels, some of them 400 tons hurthen, have been prepared for the purpose. They are loaded with stones, and these stones united together by iron bars and chains, so as . to form one solid mass—and these are to be scuttled side by side,so a.:O lay the foundation for an embank ment of sand, in the same manner as the French themselves succeeded by means of cones at Cher.. Bourg,. The whole of this - wili be done under the cover of our Blockading Squadron. The immediate good to he derived from it, and which they say is its justification as a legitimate aft of war is, that it will give our Ships an increased depth of water in approaching the port, and enable them by a con centrated fire of Bombs to burn. the whole 'Force assembled.
