o'clock on Sunday morning, id the Clyde frigate,
Commodore Owes, with a smart b from the
Nast, and a charming day. He was saluted on his
departure, with a discharge of cannon, the report
of which was heard at Deal, where it was considered
as the signal of his. approach. The people began to
assemble upon the beach, and by the time the Clyde
came into the Downs, which was about three o'clock,
the speftztors amounted to 2000.
'The Admiral's barge, and a cutter, bad been sent
out to receive his Lordship and suite. The yards
of the Clyde were maimed, and the crew gave three
cheers as his Lordship left the ship, and a salute of
16 guns waited. Demean three and four o'clock
his Lordship landed on the beach at Deal, where he
was received with three cheers by the surrounding
multitude. Mire Lordship and suite walked to Use

by Mr. Pots, who strutted and stormed with the

by the successful performance of Mr.INELVIII, in
those parts which be has assumed, that, before ,the

with company, to witness his drbitt in the lively and
interesting iretfer,ia the musical farce of TherAildren
in sae Wundsperforand for the first time at this Theatre.
The affellionate rustic never was delineated with
more truth and justice ; and all the noble and tine
feelings with which the part abounds, were touched
by the hand of a master, and called forth repeated
kiwi's,. In the lively scenes with geseptine, he was
playful and natural, and received the most un-
bounded applause. Indeed, the whole farce is
admirably got ep. Miss Tv Rea sang the airs al-

Mr GATTI', in Latortede, the ver-Occidlpotheeacu,
certainly dressed himself, and marked his face ad-
mirably, for the purpose of setting the gallery in a
roar ; but, in my opin;on, he appeared more like a
poor unfortunate coal-wivrr. just extricated from
the sooty hovels of a ruinous pit, than a disciple of
Gatra, ever, of the meanest condition. I am sorry
to make this observation, as G Trie has abilities
to command applause without the aid of such a
contemptiqle subterfuge. In Ike Sit/ion, Mrs. ED-

ATTACK ON' BOULOGNE.
ne011•111, SUNDAY SIISMINC.
It is reported, that considerable damage was done
at Boulogne by the rockets thrown in there, as
mentioned in a-former letter. This damage was
received prineipally by the town ; the ships from
which the rockets were discharged being too close
to the shore for the elevation at which it was in-
tended that thew Instruments of destruaion should
be fired off.- The Consemmace was. they passed over
the &tills, and fell 'Ma thi town. If the injury
done there bets great as it is .represented,. I fear
it may have a violent effea upon the Minds of the
towm-people. Many bonsai-SOO lOW dtlkßi con-

The means employed upon this ocefeir were as
novel as they were ingenious. They were broeght
to considerable perfeftion about a year ago, and
have sine* been very much improved. They con-
sist, at we before mentioned, in rockets, as inflam-
mable or Pyrotechnic Arroweb- • -
These Pyrotechnic Arrows will ty nearly two
miles and a half, and are capable of communi-
catiag their fire for nearly tea minutes after
having reached their point. They are prodigiously
large, and have an iron-pointed socket at the end,
which sticks in whatever it may be aimed at. This
socket hue Likewise a tube, for the purpose of con-
taining the infiammablr ,atter, with Oa boles,

twenty feet long.. Om 'hundred of these might
be discharged, withie.theopese of a miute, from
each vessel ; but we are informed, only two were
fired frees eitchisfratAi tfiesittnit time. rtu rockets
are so construaed, as to instantaneously emit, on
their adbetien to auy Viet fir the vessel, a liquid
flame. lobe ingredients of this destruaive compo-
sition are said to be of so very powerful sod
infant-
mable a nature, as almost to defy the counteracting
Olen of water, which, for some time, seems rather to
increase that extinguish the violence of its fury.
A few of them were hue year thrown at Dover,
by way of experiment, from Archliffe Fort to the
Western Heights. and immediately set on fire a
stubble field, in which they chanced to tar, near the
celebrated cliff of Shakspcare. The fuss with which
they are provided continues to burn for seven or
eight minutes after they are shot of, when some of
the rockets explode, and sia in the sew capacity of
shells. They are capable, we understand, of Wag
thrown with almost as much accuracy and precision
as a shell, or carcase, from a mortar, and with
equal effed. These rockets are the invention of Mr.
Congreve.
List night. a boat was sent in here, by one of
His Majesty's cruisers, laden with GOO half ankers
of spirits. Sbe is one of six .that ,ailed together,
of which one was taken at Deal, one to the north-
ward, one was carried into Dunkirk, and one into
Newport, by a French privateer, and one is missing;
supposed to be lost. On Friday, as a boat was
coming on shore, with five men from the IP2I
cutter, commanded by the noted Johnsoo, wild
is still cruising off bete, the tide being nearly
out, and a strung wind from the Eastward hav-
ing caused a great surf at the mouth of the
harbour. the !mat upset, and it was with great
difficulty the people were saved. They were
sufficiently recovered, yesterday to be seat on
board.—Johnson seldom snakes 'his appearance on
shore, and when he does, he gees armed.
