M.W ER, Auo. 27.—The horizon being uncom-
monly clear yesterday afternoon, our hills were
lined with spedators, too,view .a spirited attac',•:
made by a part of the Boulogne Squadron on the
Enemy's Flotilla, which was out in great numbers.
Our Cruizers were so close in with the land, as 'to
raise the greatest apprehension of their being
materially damaged by the incessant fire kept. up
from the land Batteries. One of the Armed Cut.
ters having got very close in, and being in much
danger, a Frigate (supposed to be the Inwrortalite)
was observed to stand most gallantly in between
the Battiries and the Cotter, to take off the fire
from the latter, and for some time kept up a most
spirited fire. I am sorry, however, to add, that
the Cutter, which is said to be the Constitwtion
hired Armed Cutter, of this place, wa's so much
damaged as soon afterwards to sink. Her Crew,
there is every reason to hope, were saved, as the
Boats from the Squadron were seen rowing to the
spot immediately after she went down.

then made the signal for theßayerl George to chase, and
some time after for the Alfred, Hope, and Bombay
Castle, to chase also.—About noon the Royal George
made the signal that the chase was suspicious, anti
at half past for an Enemy. At this time our Fleet

supper, every exertion was made by the inhabitants to
put on the best appearance. The church hells were put
in repair ; the flag on the church steeple, after un-
dergoing a repair, was hoisted; and the exertions
on .the part of the Landlord of the Star and Garter
Inn, to entertain the Royal Guests which he was
about- to be honoured with, far exceeded every
one's expeitation ; and his preparations for their re-
ception soon reached the ears of the neighbouring
Gentry, who flocked in great numbers in the course
of Friday to see the preparations that were made
in :the Great Room, on the first flour, for the re-
ception of the ROYAL FAMILY to supper ; and the
fair ones who visited the house appeared highly
gratified with the style in which the cloth, 'Sec.

The Lry len Pnters, (,1 the loth August, which
we received on Sunday, contain the 141h:twit%
article :—" AU eyes arc now turned towards the
Coast. It is the general opini.ol that the Prepara.
tiiins for the Invasion of England draw to a close,
and that this mighty Expedition will soon he carried •
into effttk. Letters from Bvulogne say, there never
was so little bustle Seen in this place, although sur.
row-tiled on all sides with Camps ald Ships. The
greatest order and silence prevail, and nothing is to
be heard but, warlike airs and songs of tridory• . When
the weather is fine, the eye can reach the al.:ores of
England ; but our S wish to teach them
in another Manner. There is not the least doubt
about the decent being Pfretied, and c f c stn.
plete success. A storm the only obitacie to be
dreaded ; but the passage is so.' short, that-if the
winds are once favourable, •it must be a great
fatality indeed if they change in a few hours. Its
short, this grand e vent will soon be'tletertnined,'
and it is in tt oarrow Channel that the FATe of
ENGLAND and the Lt aI:TY of the Sens will be
decided. The important everts which aze approach.
ing produce various sentiments. Airongst many,
fear is tnixed with hope. The general wish, now.
ever, appears to he, that this bold Enterptze may
be ar on undertaken, as. it appears the only
means of terminating a quarrel for which there '
seems no other alternative than the fate of aims.
At the saute rime, hoWever, on one side,
great reliance is placed on the extent prepar.itions
so long in hand, and upon the g.tpoti fortune
often attends daring pri:jtnfts, it is ittvos,iiile, on the
, other, to forget the danger of the winds tand the
sea, 'or to avoid thinking of the pos,ibili;y of a •
great reverse, which may only tend to prol ng the
scourge of War. The uncertainty attenling this
interesting event, the perspective of an engagement,
man to man, between the two Nations, upon the
element which divides them-:-,with the effect which
it must at the same time -produce upon the other
parts of Eurove-P-c:eate a certain degree olanxioy,.
the efreas of which arc remarkable upi:n the Course,
