IT appears by our Dover Letter, that the fir.
ing on the French Coast continued the greater
part of yesterday, but no further particulars have
reached Town. It is reported, that the Enemy's
Flotilla have returned to the Inner Harbour of
Boulogne, but on this point we have received no
authentic information this, however, is clear,
that they must either return, or put to sea imme.
diately, for it is not to be supposed that BONA.
PARTE will let them remain in -their present situa..
tim,, where the greater part of them would be expos.
ect to destruelion, even, in a moderate gale of wind.

It is said that tl►e Master of a Neutral Vessel,
which was sent into Dover by the Champion, for a'
breach of Blockade, declares that he wai at 800..
higne on Sund.iy, when BONAPARTE addressed
the Army, and assured them he would not leave
-that place till the Expedition had sailed. We at.
tacit no credit whatever• to this report : neither the
'names of the Master nor of the Vessel are men.
.tioned, and it is very improbable that•BONAPARTE
would commit himself by so positive a declaration
as that which is attributed to him.

Ws have this day extrafied from the Moni.
teur scum observations upon the .condud of the
KfNG of SWEDEN, and on the Notes presented
on behalf-of His Majesty to the Diet at .Ratis.
bon, which for insolence and scurrility far exceed
any which have hitherto been made even in that
scurrilous and insolent Journal. Whilst they dis.
play the petty malice and little mind of the Usur.
per, they evince a soreness
,and irritation, which
prove how much he has been galled by the recent
conduel of the Northern Powers; and how much it
has served to inspire in him a fear for the result of a
contest which it is now evident he cannot avoid.
It is clear, indeed, that the must common policy
would have diaated to IiONAPARTE to refrain, how.
ever great his inclination, from making so gross a.
personal 'attack upon a high.spirited Sovereign in
amity with Russia, if • he" had not considered
the sword as 'already drawn, and the scabbard
thrown away. The observations we have alltkled
to, are penned in a style'ef low malignity, 'which
still further degrade even the French Government,
steeped as 'it is in disgrace and infamy ; whilst at
the same time they exhibit the deep, 'insidious,
and Revoltition.lry policy of France. The SubjeBs
of Sweden are flattered, and an attempt is made to
separate their interests from those of their So.
vereign, with views too obvious to need a de.,
tail, We cannot help thinkiog that this gros
attack upon Ills Sw EDISII :MAJESTY must materially
contribute to bring the atnirs of Europe to a crisis,
as it can only be considered as a Declaration of War.

Tit-ts morning His MAJESTY was on horse-
back at seven o'clock, and met the zd Battalion of
the Somersetshire Militia, and marched with them
to the ground, where they pitched their tents,
which completes the encampment. On His MA.
JESTY'S return ;o the Lodge, he gave-an audience
to Lord PAU LFT, which continued a considerable
time. His Lordship arrived here last night.
After His MAJESTY had breakfasted, the RoyAL
FAMILY, between nine and ten • o'clock, embarked
on board Thr Royal Sovereign yacht ; they were,
from the shOre in an elegant barge, steer. •
ed by Sir HARRY BURR ARD NEALE. There Was
an excellent breeze when they set sail.
This day was the finest sailing day ever temera.
bered here : The Royal Sovereign yacht kept dose
in-shore; the other vessels who accompanied her
stood across the Channel, almost out of sight. The
RovAL FAMILY landed at half past five o'clock,,
and were saluted as usual. His MAJESTY wAlked..
on the Esplanade, and remained till dark.
We are so extremely thronged with company,
that numbers of families have been obliged to leave
us for want of lodgings. The following arc the last
arrivals at STAG LE'S Hotel:

Captain Hudson, and two daughters.

MARGATE, Auc. 30.

Mrs. JORDAN on Tuesday night made her second
appearance on our theatrical boards, in The MO
Stratagem, but notwithstanding all; the 'merited
popularity .of her talents, there was but a scanty •
audience, though her Letitia Hard' is one of her
be.t effits. Indeed her first appearance on Mon'
day night by no means drew a crowded house.. We
know not whether to imptite this declining jail..
vice of so admirable an Actress to public caprice,or
to the regret that followed the departure of
DUNCAN. The play.bills do nor Merely signify

There was a Masquerade on Tuesday night at
BETTISON'S Library, which drew near five hundred .
visitors. The most conspiimous masques, in point •
of wit, humour, and spirit, were, a Conjuror, a
Caleb Qualm, and a Denis Brulgruardery. ~ The
kymphs and Shrtherdersei, who added .to.the groupl •
seemed to be better acquainted with Mre a'des f
Covent• Garden, than with the grovet, /aftwila and
sylvan seelusions of Nature.. . .
The Hoys added about rso to to- stock of vi-
sitors on Wedne,day morning, so you may judge
how well provided we arc - with Wattage. Up.
wards of a th,tusand persons were revelling at Dan'
.deliin on the same morning.
GARNER, our Theatrical Librarian, at night pet'.
formed S'it.ylock fur his 'Benefit, with great judge
merit, but not with such success as to give him a
suitable reward fur his talents as an attor and his
.
merits as a man. •
Amidst all our revelry we are not wholly deaf, to
the distant roar of war ; but it does not damp our
ardour. Pilots, we understand, hold themselves in
readiness to take charge of ten Men of War and si*
Frigates expetted frotn Russia.
