.11se Jr/wises Ron-brig, Captain Knight, came into
these roads early this mowing, from a cruise off the
IF.reoch enact ; .lie brought with her a very fine Da-
nishohip, hound for the Isle of France, a hich she
has • detain( d, on suspicion of haviog enemy's pro-
perty :on bowl She will he brought into the har-
bour this nighos tide. The Frielear belongs to the
Calais squadron but on her excise did not go near
onnush to the French coast to enable her to see any
Ming particular in that curter. She remains in the
road, atone, with the Arredne frigate (which return-
frOM a cruise this afternoon), together with ten
hers, hound to the westward, which are waiting
for a fair wind, the Ameriran schooner mentioned
in toy letter of yesterday, and some coasters and
fishing-vessels.
- The brig Meer, of this port, Capt. Wilkinson, and
tod other brigs, trading here, arrived this tidy from
Memel, with very heavy cargoes of deals, timbers,
'pais, masts, after a very quick passage of t•-•fr..
teen days. They bring no extraordinary intells.

. A small fishing-smack. called the Rae, of Whit-
Sahib supposed to be a smuggler, has been sent in
bete. by the N.l4,ruer gun-`.rig. She had no cargo
ton board, but a few empty puncheons and casks, but
was taken going into ()sonic!. It is expelled she
will be criodemned, and they are nose in the ad of
dismantling her.
The smuggling-lugger. mentioned in my letter
of yesterday. was not car turgid by the Blazer gun-
brig, bet by the Flamer, off Folkestone. I under-
stand she is laden with 900 ankers of gin and brandy,
and is expeded in this harbour in the course of to-
morrow. .
A number of merchant brigs and colliers, a very
fine American ship, bound for the port of London,
and some coasters, have passed by to the eastward,
iu thelfineaf of the day.
L'havortaht. frigate, Captain Owen, about one
o'clock. p.m. hove in 'sight from the French coast,
accompanied by a bomb-ship ; when they came
nearly a-hie-as: of this port, about a league distance,
the Ariadne made several signals from her fore and
main-masts, to the bomb-ship, which, having an-
swered them. immediately tacked about and steered
to the westward. while the former proceeded on her
way to the Downs.
The Dorbrrs of York, ordnance-sloop, and two
other vessels of the same description, sailed from this
port, for tile Downs, with a vast quantity of military
stores, chiefly consisting of powder, gunshot, shells,
small cannon, implements for great gnus, &c. Seve-
ral fishing-smacks, light colliers, and some pilot-
boats,Also sailed to the westward.
The wind blows .Irom the N.W. sometimes with
a light breeze. but, through the latter part of the
day. it has keen almost a calm. The atmosphere
has been so clear all day, we can discern the French
coast to a great extent, but there is nothing remark-
abk in its appearance, and only a few of our cruisers
sunning down shore.
For these three days past we have had the highest
tides experienced in this harbour for the season ;
they rose three and tour feet above the 40 feet mark
at the Pier-head, so as to admit ships of almost the
lamest size.
bir Sidney Smith is not yet arrived, nor is it as-
egtained whether he conks direct here from London
ere t.
. This evening, the .4riridne having stretched out a
little to sea,' made several signals to the Admiral,
us the Downs ; which, we suppose were answered
isurrirdiautly, as she then returned to these roads.
There has been a very considerable take or mack-
erel nu' the North h....reload this morning ; they Ale
the first we have had here this 14.1‘011.
