LONDON, JANUARY 5, 1804.

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 their inteotiort tit visiting Covent.
garden Theatre this evening, from an expeEtalion
of hearing every hour something certain respeiting
tile movements of the Enem7.
On Tuesday evening the brags', and Ttrr;6/e, of
74 guns each, sailed from Plymouth 1,: join Admiral
CORICWALLI off Bres:, severa! more Ships have
prob, isy followed them by this time, as every pos-.

Cawsand Bay.
