DOVER, JAN. 4.—lt appears that the alarm which
prevailed last night, arose from a Detachment-of the
Enemy 'sGun.boats, 25 in number, which was o'hser v.
ed running close along the land from the Eastward to.
Boulogne; and we are sorrylo add; they were seen
from the hills to get safe into Boulogne. None of
our Cruizers happened to be upon that part of the
Coast at .the time, and probably it they had been
there, the Boats were so close in With the land that
they could not have been attacked.
