THE Signals which were flying at Dom-✓er Heights on Tuesday afternoon for an Enemy's Flotilla being we find were occasioned by some of their Gun to the amount of about twenty-five, which ~ ere running along - their own shore, from some rort to the Eastward, r Borlogne. None of our Cruizers happening to be upon that part of the Coast at the mument,they were seen to get in without interruption. Yesterday morning, however, a heavy Cannon ad-ng was heard at Deal, proceeding from the , ) , uth-east quarter, and the report and inpposition there were, that forty of fifty Gun.bnati had come out of Calais, for the purpose of gaining Boulogne, bat, less fortunate than those of the preceding day, had been met by some dour Cruizers, who were engaging them. We shall anxiously hope to have this report confirmed. It would appear from the . se circumstances that the Chief Consul is not yet fully. prepared for his long-meditated Invasion of our Island ; and we Aprrehend if he does make it (hiring Winter, • ht must now do it without the assistance of the Force in the Potts of. Holland, as that must by this rime be frozen up. A very heavy snow storm Came 'on in the Metropolis this morning about seven o'clock from the Westward, which,_ if the Dutch Ports were not before closed up, must, we apprehend, efreaually do it, as the frost has set in with great. severity.—We cannot. but think that the Chief Consul has lost his most favourable chance of pushing his Armaments to Sea. His time to have dons.: it, would have been im roaliately after the late storms. There were two or three ri:iys in the end of last.week, and be. ginning of this, that were rather favourable for him ; but it does not appear that he has profited by them in any one point. . The Report of-yesterday, of the Brest Fleet having ventured to Lea,, we do not find confirmed by any authentic account, and it is now indeed very generally discredited ; though last night it was very confidently asserted - that GoVernment had received authentic advices of the escape of the French Squadron. Jr was added to this report, that it had likewise received in. ,teltigence of the Dutch Naval Force being pre. vented from all co-operation by the frost. This latter statement is the most likely to be" true. It was likewise I , lid last n;g!o, that THEIR. MAJESTIES Lati relinquished the i r inteotiort tit visiting Covent. garden Theatre this evening, from an expeEtalion of hearing every hour something certain respeiting tile movements of the Enem7.

Boulogne; and we are sorrylo add; they were seen from the hills to get safe into Boulogne.

The people gathered en the b'ach, htit the sea running mountains high, maize it impossible to give the-least a.sistance from the shore. Soon after day-break, two of the crew wok to one of the boats, but alas! the merciless waves soon overset the boat, and they were seen no more! Some time after this, • another boat was seen to make for the shore with one Myr) tier, 'which he most miraculously eiteeted, from' being lashed to the boat. Yet, however, was not out of danger, the sea running ko high, and the man so much exhausted,- tie - wis unable to, unloose himself.. In this perilous situation . he viol mained, until Mr. 'J.
