It is reported at Pnrtfmouth that the Mstrostase '
frigate has taken a 5o gun (hip from Havre.
Further advices from the Coall Rate, that the firing
in the direaion of Boulogne was renewed on Mon-
day morning at an early hour, and continued alrooft
inceftantly during the whole of the day. By the help
of telefropes, Upwards of two hundred of the enemy's
veffels were obferved to come out of the harbour, but
not beyond the protation of their batteries, while
fourteen fail of our (hips of war were feen about four
miles from the fhore, rather to the weftward of Bou-
logne, not having fufficient wind to aft, it being calm
all day. A convoy of the enemy's craft, mailing
of twelve fail of brigs and loggers, went along fhore
from Calais to Bnulogne, fuppored to be laden with
floras, and the firing for the moti part proceeded
from the batteries protc&ing them from a few of our
miters. About two o'clock they reached their deg

and were in motion the whole of Monday, praitifing
a variety of manauvres.

That a norm has been for force time gathering
in the Nokth of Europe, which will probably Tpend
its fury in attempting fomething againfl the newly

nnifornilt stating for months pail, that nothing of
the kind was to be arpeeed.
It is confidently affertah area 4somt of thole who
were the molt incredulous, now giiie full credit to the
Raiment, that the Zino of Swamis has fOrmally in

that he peremptorily refutes to recognise the new ac-
quired title of Bois assess, as Emperor of the French.
An official commtmication to this rife& has been made
to all the Cuorts,andthat conveyed in Orong and ener-
getic terms. It is impoffible to believe that this Rep can
have been taken by his Swamis Mal !WY Without
the conmirrence of the ENPRiOt of ROssts, at Ica*,
if not of the other Northern Powers. It is manifell
that Nsrotana anticipates their confedel'acy, and

the pretended communications froin Conflantinopte,
of the views of Ruffia on the Porte—of

are all preparatory to an open rupture; and in the

Among the tranßations from the fang Paris Pa-

article from Guadaloupe, concerning the affairs of

in the eyes of France, and of all the other natione—to
efface the memory of the frightful Canes which he
canted to be acted there. by an exaggerated account
of prefent cruelties, and to make his rival tyrant more
&tellable, if poUlble, than himfelf. D toss has
