LONDO-N, JULY 16, ►BO4.

THE Enimy mad;. some movements -with their
Flotillarat Boulogne'on Friday, which imlicated an .
intention to put to Sea ; ninety-two Sail of thei't
Marie Gun_brigs and Lugged were Worked into the
Outer 1--larbour,',and cur Officer; and Seatnen began to
hope that the French,,Fereat length in earnest, aild that
they would keep their promise of making their grand
:effort on the famous r4th of July. The.KiugGeor7e,
Cutter was dispatched to the I),:rts with
• gerice to Rear-Attmiral Louis of these .movements,
:•and he immediately proceeded to the French. Coast
with his Scivadion. We apprehend, however, that
the Enemy only brought out their Flotilla for the
- purpose of a little parade, and that they are by this •

time
.gone quietly btitk. again. There were several con..
current `circumstances last week very favourable to
the Enemy, if they had chosen to make the attempt
on Tuesday night, in particular, the wind was fair
and not too strong, the night was very dark, and
there was a spring-tide. These CircutruitAnces
duced General MooRE, with that vigilance which
always marked his chata&er, to keep a great part
of his TrOups under anus during the nigh).

YEsTE R DAY we received. the Pdris Abniieurs to
the 9:lt instant, and some smaller Papers of aci older
date. By the Monitcur of the 7th we learn the re-
turn to France of M. JAUBERT,' who had been sent
by BON/O.ARTE on a mission to 'Constantinople.
—.,We are also told in the same Paper, that a
sprit
,revolt pervades -several of the Turkish
r!roVioces, which is fOtnented by some F.uropeari
Power. Rursi-er is afterwards alluded to, -in'a rare.
tended. Letter from Constantinople, as the Power
meant, and to whom the fifoui+eurattribuies the
sign of uniting Turkey !nits Empire.

Letters from Ratirbon of the .3oth ulr. state, that
the Declaration of the ELECTOR of BADEN, respett-
ing the late violation of the Neutrality of Ger-
many, had been received, and was to be communi.
catcd to the Diet on the, 2d instant. Its o'n-
tents are not announced, but there is too lunch
:reason to believe that that at of atrocity %sill find
a majority of apologists in the GeiMan Diet. Thy
EiiPEROlt Of-RUSSIA is stattd to hive acquicxed
in the Eledoral Note.

THE recent losses which we have sustained in
the East, tend very strongly to ju,tify the observa-.
tions.we'rnade anme time: ego on the conduet uf, the
late Board of Admiraity, The Public will; WC
think, agree with IN, that it is ,a point which at
least requires explanation, why our Naval Force
in the East has been so disposed of, that LtrrOls
.should have hien `enabled to Continue his ravages
upon our Trade so long without interrtytion.
the skill and courage of our Naval Commanders in
that quarter,we have not rho. slightest doubt ; we,
Can therefore only attribute the apparenfinabivitY
of-trar Squadron, to .some unfortunate want of full-
sight in those who direded its operations. It
perfcCily well known in England, that Ad-
miral IIARISINcIe had contrived to evade the vigi-
lance of our blockading ;SquadrOn Off Ferrol, and
tfiat he had :bent his course to' the East to
'LLNOIS, and from the jundion of two soch Sqqa•
drone, considerable Mischief was to ht zipprehectl,.

gust last that the late Board of Admiralty dis.
patched three 7,1.'5, viz. the Afb ;wt., Sceptre, and Rrrs,

Publie• ought to know whether directions were
given to the Commanders of those Vessel, to go off'
the Mauritiuri (almosi:the only Port which the
Enemy have in that quarter), to obtain information
respeaing Litiots ; or whether they were Ordered
to ptbeeed direft to India. This is a stibjeawhicht
calls for, and-we hope will undeYgo, strict inquiri•
