LONDON,
FRIDAY, Novssuitat 22.

The Speculator lugger arrived, on Wednesday, at
Dover, from off Boulogne. When she came away,
the attack had not been made by Shp:Daze SM ITM 'S
squadron. She left the French flotilla in great force
its front of the harbour, with about forty stout brigs,
moored outside in a semicircle, and covered by
titter heavy batteries on shore, two of which flank
the flotilla, and the third commands the centre. Sir
Siortav SMITH'S force was moored in three divi-
sions, at about three miles distance from the ene-
my. In the day-time, however, most of them
weigh anchor, and cruise, from which it appears,
that the attack will be made in the night time.

His MAJISjY'S Answer to the Congratulatory
Address of the City of London, upon the vicory of
Trafalgar, presented yesterday at St. James's, will
be read with interest. " The loss of the distin-
guished Commander," says His MAJESTY, " under
whom this great viCtory has been achieved, I most
sincerely cad deeply lament."—When His Ma-
JEST Y first received the account of Lord NELsos's
death, we are informed, he shed tears. They sere
not, however, tears soon dried up in the sun-shile of
the glorious news which accompanied it. The lan-
guage of His MAJESTY'S Answer sheers, that it has
made an indelible impression upon his heart As
no subjeCt ever performed more vallable ser-
vices for his King, so no Sovereign ever paid a
more respeiltful compliment to the memory of
a subject. It was a just tribute to departed merit,
and an eloquent proof of the gratitude that dwells
in the Royal bosom. Could the grief of las KING
reach the spirit of the Hero whose loss we all de
plore, it would give more pleasure than all
the monuments which art could rats • to his name.
Pillars and itlaebs;,, could only serve to perpetuate
the memory of his exploits, but these the Recording
Angel has already en:oaved upon the tablet of
immortality. If laudars a huchfo be the most
enviable praise, t!.t! aii2ctionate sorrow of a Sove-
reign is surely the most e ttimable recompense.
'lad His Maaxs re' lost a son or a brother, he
conhi not have used language more kind and
impressive. He co aid not say more than that
he " most sincerely and deeply lamented the loss.*
lie could only evince the sincerity of his grief by his
tears, and mark his regard for tit dead, by con-
ferring honours and titles upon those ss ho were dear
to him when living. This part of His M !IS ry's
ans-Aer, is well calculated to insure the completion
or the hope which it holds out, that " the tran-
scendent and Leioic services of Lcrd 'Verson will
exist for ever, and stimulate those who come after
him to similar exertions." The laurels must for
ever bloom, which are watered by the tears of a
grateful Sovereign. Wisere heroic services are
so liberally rewarded, heroes will ever abound.--
The glowing flame from the expiring lips of Lord
Nst.son, has already lighted up some congenial
spirit, from which it will only depart to settle in
some kindred bosom. Thus the spirit of Lord
NILSON will live for ever among us ; and while the
hand that smote the Corsican and the Bourbon,
lies nerveless in the dust, his genius will prepare
new victories, and crown his country with immor-
tal glory !

Intelligence from the Continent is looked for with
considerable anxiety. The Paris Paper; last re-
ceived, are dated the 10th, and the accoun•s from
the army in Germany are three weeks in arrear.
We are inclined to draw a favourable conclusion
from this delay. The Bulletin la'ely sent fr^m
Boulogne, by M. Roam, was in the spirit of the
French nation. Those who are so prone to gasco-
nade, when they have any real success to boast of,
will nct be slow to assist its circulation. The public
must smile at the attempts so frequently made to
supply the absence of foreign papers, by private cor-
respondence, purporting to be from abroad, though
bearing evident marks of home ruanufaiture.
The following letter, dated Brunswick, the Ist
instant, to a mercantile house in Glasgow, does not
appear to be of that description
;
The accounts from the towns which are occu-
pied by the French, estimate the loss of the French,
in the battles of the 14th, 15th, and 16th ult. at
20,000, in killed and taken prisoners. B
is anxious to give battle to the first Russian army,
before the second arrives; but great hopes are
entertained that the Russians will make a timely
retreat, to frustrate this plan. Many Prussian
regiments have passed through this town, within
these few days past, to join an army which is
assembling at Hildeaheim, of which our Mac
takes the command. To judge from many cir-
cumstances, Prussia must surely join the Allies
against France. Prussian troops are now in pos.
session of the town of Hanover, and the former

Niiuisters have arrived there, and taken los. '
session of the Govermtient, in the name of His
r:ITA lONIC MAJESTY. The newspaper of that
town• again appears with the arms of our
K I No, and the mow) of flovi soil cirri ma/ v prose.
We have no account here yet that the Russia!,
Army from Stralsund have crossed the Elbe ; per-
haps they are waiting for the arrival of the Ger-
man Legion, from England. People are grum-
bling that England has not already made a princi-
pal diversion in favour of Austria. It is said, that
the Duke of CAMIRIDGE is daily expelled in
Hanover."

We will not be surprised if the loss of the
French, as stated in the above letter, shell not ap-
pear greatly exaggerated. In the battles of the
I4,ths 15th, and Kith, the Austrians were proteded
by entrenchments, and if they suffered severely,
the French, who were more exposed, must have
sustained heavy losses. Of the immediate co-
operation of Prussia, we are sorry to say, we
can no loager cherish a hope. The mission of
Count liaeowirs to the camp of the Cor-
sican. now excites as much distrust and anxiety,
as some late dernonsirations inspired confidence
and esteem. It is believed, in the best in-
formed circles, that Sou •PAllit is to be allowed a
month to consider the propositions of peace, of which
Count Ii twtvz is the bearer. The charatter
and views of BONAPARTS will not allow us to think
that any terms, which Prussia may offer, could stop
his career, should HarowiTz find him victorious;
and should he experience a reverse, this mediation
of Prussia will only serve to break his fall.

A letter from New York, dated Odober 2, says t
.‘ The city of N.2VI York, as you must have heard
ere now, is greatly deserted on account of the epi.
demic. The business part of the town is wholly
evacuated, and presents to the casual spetator the
most gloomy appearance. The Bunks, and indeed
all the Public Offices, have removed to Greenwich,
a village in the vicinity, about a mile and a half
from the centre of the city. At this moment, not-
withstanding the numberless removals, the fever
prevails with unabated virulence, and every day
consigns to the grave fresh vietims to its malig-
nance. Towards the end of this month the cold
weather usually sets in, when. I trust, we shall be
at hi wry to return to our former residences. DR-
f•rent theories with regard to the origin of the dis-
ease, have been advanced ; but, I imagine, it will
puzzle the advocates of foreign origin, that it did
not originate among us this season. For my own
parr. I eve i may either be imported, or gener-
ated at home, according to circumstances."

.Wednesday, about twslve o'clock, the RUSSIAN
AMBASSADOR visited Mr. Pox T, for the first time
since :us return from his tour in the North of Eng-
land. iirs Exc-Ilency afterwards went to Lord
