DEAL. AUCUS 3.
The Hero, sloop of war, has arrived with (m-
-ini, from Barbadoes ; the Renommee frigate, and
bomb, have arrived here with one brig, three
;loops, and one lugger, Ftench. from Fecamp,
Isoitad to Boulogne, captured off the French coast.—

yesterday evening, about helf.pAst seven o'clock,
several large ships began to make their appearance
from the Westward, coming up Channel, under a
crowd of sail The wind was due South, and blew
a smart breeze, which soon brought them abreast of
this town. Before they reached u
s. however, a
hostelling boat, which headed them all the way up,
and which had spoken them below channel, came
into the h..rhour for two pilots for the two stern-
most ships, who immediately put off to them.-.
From the people of this boat we learned, they ate
the 8.0 baoe: fl •et. The headinost ships, as they
cam: near, made the usual signals for pilots, who
,rei.:diately went off to them to the number of lye.
F.,or more of the fleet ran for the Downs to take
there, whicn made the wholu nine. Ihe sight
s truly interesting; the Pier Heads, the Rope
alk, and the whole Beach adjoining, were crowded
y ith people. At the tim • the Pilots went off, it was
so dark the ships were unskr the necessity of hang-
ing out lights, that they might not pass them, and
the variety of lanthorns in the shrouds of each ship
formed a very piauresque and agreeable ilurn
lion on the water. By the time you receive th.s
they will be in the river.
Not a gun was heard in the course of yesterday,
it last night, either from our own cruisers or the
clam.
- 4- this morning another ship of the Ba-badoes
.

Early s.
fleet arrived cif here, tir.d.took a pilot ; the wind
having come round to \V. and by N. and W. N. W.
we descried our whole fleet of mien of war, &e
beating up towards the Down•, not being able to lie
.n the French coast with that wind. I have, how-
ever, the satisfaction to inform you, that they have
in their company three sloops and a brig, French
coasting vessels, deeply laden, together with a
lugger, a pretty stout one, supposed to be th• it con-
voy, which they have fallen in with during the
eight; and, lest they should lose their way. have
kinlly condescended to escort t em to the Downs
It is really a magnificent sight to se-s our tri-
umphant squadron thus srread itself over this part
of the Channel; and every hour cons 'mellow v milt-
ing foe, that he must never seriously think of seLihg
his foot on Eillish ground without the special leave
and licence/ of our heave tars!
There must unquestionably have been some firing
in the capture of the above-men:inned vessels, ht.t
from the point the wind has blown during the great.
est part of the night, it could not be heard here.
The account in all the papers of an Excise cutter
of Deal being taken and carried into Calais, with
Commissioner J acicsos and another Gentleman, on
board, is altogether talse. She was sten from
hence in csace of two small French privateers,
but afterwards hauled trai wind, and stood dowr
Channel. 'llk Commissiiiner aad his friend wet •
safely landed at Portsmruth, and the cutter is now
very snug in this very harbour of Dover.
Fear o•thek. of.
The Fast India Company's ship the Brilamtie, ha,

mot:rani-, but the win I having come more a-head,
and the appearance of the weather hei i squally, she
is env/running aack tor the Downs under an easy sail.
Oar cruisers having ah kit the enemy's coast, we
expect they will again parade along the shore till
they see our jacks return.

no the late Lottery Schemes; but we should aft un-
justly, did we not say, that the Contrahors for the
ensuing State Lottery may certainly venture to
exult in their happy effort, as they have produced a
Scheme which evidently is not less rich than novel,
and cannot tail to prove as attradive, as it must
satisfadory to a discerning public. Such a Lottery,
