Deal; Sept. 29.

The Bombardment of Calais began again early.
this morning, and continued till two this afternoon,
very heavy but it being very hazy on the French
Coast, nothing could be discerned, nor has any in.
telligence been yet received from thence.

The above the Public may depend upon being
the latest and most authentic accounts received from
the Coast respeting the operations of our Squadrons.
We will riot, like some of our Cotemporaries, fa.
bricate accounts of the Enemy's force in their Ports,
or of the achievements of our own Ships and Vessels
of War, for the pupose of operating upotrthf fears
or credulity of a British Public. It is our aim
to furnish the earliest and most authentic in.
fotrnation, of passing events; those in which the
internal peace and the political existence of our
' Country are concerned, are surely too serious to
admit of a wanton display of ingenuity, or the
~ovcrcharged colouring of falsehood. ,

Papers of the 26th, but they are barren of in-

stranger and more sea-worthy. In the latter, the

The French Govecnment made -very'great pure
chases of hemp, sail-cloth, tar, timber, and other
naval stores in Russia in the early part of.the year ;
and, having little 'credit, they were under the ne-
cessity of paying ready money for them.,....yet, to
this hour, they have not been able to get the stares
home to France. The seas are so aaively watched
by Lord KEITH, that a single vessel cannot escape
his cruizers.
