-The sixteen Vessels of the Flotilla of Boulogne,
which, at the time of the storm, drove along the
coast, and anchored at Etaples,, and even at Dieppe,
have returned to Boulogne. it appears that this
accident, which was of very little importance, has
been exaggerated. The_ Emperpr was in 40 danger,
since he was on shore at the time the gale of wind
came on so suddenly in the night.
The crews* of the four vessels which were lost
haye.been saved ; a pinnace,. indeed, was wrecked
going into Etaples. Thus our loss has, in fad, been
very little; in men it has amounted only to twenty:
As to the bombardment of, Havre, it had no other •
consequence than killing an old woman and a girl of
nineteen years of age, and damaging a few houses ;
of which danrage the Emperor has ordered an esti,
Imate to he made, in order to indemnify the proprie.
tors.. The whole, it is supposed, does not amount
to more than zo,ooo livres.
The Flotilla of Havre being in the port; the
English Fleet took advantage,of the ebb tide, to ap. •
proach, when we could not getout. Three Bomb.
vessels threw about 100
,bombs ; -but the Flotilla of
Captain DAUGIER, soon, finding sufficient water to
come Out into the road,' the Enemy stood out to sea.
The .whole Coast is fortified, and, as it may be
supposed, our batteries did not remain idle; from the
accounts we have received, it appears that many :tit'
our balls reached the enemy, and that their loss
amounts to 13 men killed, and 26.wounded..-7(Me.

AUGUST 2.

Letters from Marseilles of the date. of the 23d
ult. state, thin the day before five English boats had
landed some persona' near Lavendon upon which
.the Coil, Cior of the Customs, •'FAYON DE'SAI NT
LAU R ENT, collefted all the Custom.house Officers,
and put himself at their head. After a severe aCtion,
which continued all the night, the English were
obliged' to re_embark, leaving behind thirty persons
upon the field of battle.
Three Genoese Feluccas have been burnt by the
English,sin the very harbour of Marseilles, because
they were uneble to carry them away. 'Such im-
pudence has riot been witnessed for a long time.,
According to the report of the Commanding Gene-
ra), it is entirely owing to the courage of Xerox
DE Sauce LAURENT, and the detachment under
him, that no more mischief has been dune...
We are assured that the EMPEROR of RUSSIA has
sent a Declaration 'of great consequence to our Go.
vernmcnt, by, a Courier, who arrived here some
days ago..
On the 2eth ult. from six o'clock in the morning
to two in the afternoon, the Emperor inspedeti the
rnanceuvres of the second Division of the Camp
near Boulogne.
The same day .the Emperor inspected that part of
the Flotilla, such as Pinnaces, &c. destined to use
the oats.
,The next day his Majesty reviewed the Gun-
boats, and other Armed Vessels of the Flotilla.
He was very inquisitive as to• every part, both
Military and economical, of the different Flotillas,
and declared himself highly satisfied with the order
and discipline that prevailed every where.
Boueogste, JULY 30.—Three divisions of the
Flotilla came into the Road. yesterday afternoon.
They anchored in front of the Enemy's Cruizers,
consisting of 13 Ships of War. Tbe Emperor passed
the afternoon in the Road. He was accompanied by
the Ministers of the Marine and at War, Marshal
SOULT, and returned in the evening to the Pont de
Brique, where he was closeted with M. BARE E
MAR 110 IS, Minister of the Public Treasury, who
has lately arrived from Paris. •
'At 'one in the morning two English Pinnaces,
commanded by Litut. NEAT. M'LEAN,. of the Leda
Frigate, • detached• froin the Enemy's Cruizers,
glided along ths.coast, and attempted to surprize a
small Bomb-vessel stationed at thewestern extremity
of our line. One of the Pinnaces was manned with
25 men, anal the other with 12. When they reached
the vessel they were twice hailed, . but did nut .
an-
swer. They were suffeied to come up dole, when
a iolldy of small arms was fired upon them, which
killed their Lieutenant, and several of his men.
The Midshipman then took the' command, returned
the
.fire, and cut the cable of one of the Bomb-ves-
sels, but was killed a lament after. The Pinnace
then stood off.
A Serjeant of the detachment commanded by M.
Ve erre, a catabineer, and a sailor, an assistant gun-.
ner,' threw themselves into a boat, and boarded the
'Pinnace, and.brought it back to the Bomb.vessel,
with 14. prisoners. The. other Pinnace had taken
flight at the beginning oldie engagement, receiving
a dicharge of musquetrY as she went off, which did
her so much'damage that she immediately ceased to
row.
Afterwards, passing near a Gun.boat, which fired
upon her, she sunk. Of the 25 men which com-
posed the crew of the first Pinnace, two men were
killed, six wounded, one mortally, and eight, who
were not wounded, were made prisoners : among
the latter, are BENJAMIN 13ELCHAIIIRY, Secretary" to
Captain ROBERT HONEYMAN, Commander on the,
Station..' The English Pinnace is at this Moment
entering the Harbour. We had not a„ man killed;
we had, two wounded. .

HAGUE, 41.10. 2.—According to the most recent
intelligence from VICARS/ it appears that the Court
of Vienna is on the point of offering its mediation to
restore, Peace between Great Britain and France. By
the intelligence from bindun and Paris, one would
be ant almost to conclude that the tranquillity of
the Continent were a dubio.us matter. Without
recapitulating the assertions and the arguments made
use of by either party, it is easy to judge froM the
diplomatic history of the present period, whether
or not the causes of dispute or coolness between
sonic of the great Powers of • the Continent are
of a nature to admit of reconciliation. ' To an at.
tentive observer, events speak sufficiently of thein
selves. If,' however, a 'Continental War be in.
evitable, it seems to be genhally understood tha t
an unshaken • neutrality may be -expefted on the
part of Russia ; and whatever may be the con-
sequences of a new scene of hOstility in Europe, WC

appear to he far enough out of harm's way at land
from our exalted French Ally.' —:At any rate, the
contents of the Credentials delivered od Monday
last, by His Majesty's Ambassador, tosour Govern.
-ment, are highly honourable to our Republic, the
Supreme Representative of which are therein styled,
Th.srly Beloved, Great Friends and Mlles, &c.
The President and Metnbers of the Government of
State were therein, as also in the speech of the
French Ambassadoi, entitled their Excellencies I—.

tention to what goes forward at this last plaet,
They make diversions; and attack several-points,
on our coast. But the Emperor, who has been
present, and ,witnessed; these attacks, has taken
such measures, that if the. Enemy should return, he
shall be received as be deserves, and nothing shall
impede our undertaking, when the Troops are
ready, or ordered to embark.-

the occasion. It appeared that a carriage drove
past the deceased with great fart' on Thursday last.,

the furious manner in whkh the carriage had been
driven had occasioned the' death of Mr. O'lltaltA,

the limp. The Coroner expressed his judgment
with great feeling, observing, that there' was nu ap.
penance of malice preprlnc, and he left the Jury to

the carriage.--After the Jury had declared that the
deceased had died in consequence of a carriage
