We have already hated our opinion rerpeeting the
probability of fame attempt being (bon made to in-
vade our fhnres. The country is already warned ;1
the necefrary meafurcs of precaution have been
adrred, and the country may wait the event with
patience and with confidence. To dwell on all the
rumours and opinions to which a moment like the
prefent gives birth, would be an ureters talk, and a
labour fur which our Readers would not be dirpofed
to thank us. They with to know, and they (hall
know every movement of the fmalleft importance ;
but we shall not abufe their patience by a detail of
idle conjeelures and wild 'peculation:.
The number of men embarked in the Texel, vre
underhand, exceeds confiderably the number of
2$ 000, which was the number Rated in the accounts
of lad week. Every real from so to soo tons has
been in:pre-eel to carry men, and the greater part
have been furnifhed with fweeps to facilitate their
movements, fbould the wind fail them. At Boulogne
and all along the French Coati, the preparations are
in equal attlivity, and every thing gives a thew at,
least of an intention to invade us.

It is certainly poffible that the whole may be only
a feint, intended to turn the attention of this country
and rrf Europe from ether plans of the Corfican ;
but it becomes ns to be on our guard—and to be
fo without alarm, ufelefs hurry, and precipitation.
Our different fquadrons have been reinforced, and
the neceffirry orders have been fent to thf diffe:ent
maritime counties to prepare a vigorous refinance.
For the !ail two days there has been a continued
boale at all the offices of Government, and circular
letters from the refpalive Commanders have been
written to every coros.—The following has been fent
round to the n.ernbers of the Bloomfbury and Inns

46 General—This morning at a quarter paR five
o'clock, the wind being S. S. W. a frefh breeze, a
frigate, two corvettes, and a cnt.er of the enemy, be-
ing at the dißance of a league from the jettees of Fe-

corvettes, the •Audacieufe and la Fondle, fix gin
boats, Nos. 72, 83, 95, 89, )63, au! 195 ; ten gun
boats, Nos. 357, 345, 335, 336, 348, 350, 347, 355,
356; eight pinnaces, 342, 367, 373, 375, 375, 3819
and 393 bis, in all twenty-fix fail. [The Admiral lure
enumerates the diferentfignale he made.] At so minutes
after feven, teeing the line too much prolonged, I or.
s:ered the Foudre, on board which I was to tack in
order to take poll before the Audatieufe, Captain Ro
euramtair, already expofed to the fire of the enemy.
At 55 minutes paR 7 I put the veffel in the fame
pofition, and engaged in battle within mulket-fhot, our
fmall arms and great guns being nerved at the fame
time. The Englifla frigate lion endeavoured to get
before ns, ttiilbing, no doubt, to engage only with
the gun boats, the fire of which was left brine;
(The Admiral here enter: into a long detail of naval ope-
rations and marianvrer, of little importance to our Reader, in
general, and then continue at :)
" About half after eleven I made a fignal to the
divifion that it was the intention of the Commandant
to come to anchor under the batteries of Dieppe,
without entering into port, my defign being to con-
tinue my courfe. to Boulogne after we had repaired
our damage and landed our wounded.

" At one o'clock I anchored before Dieppe with a
frail gale at Weft which loon veered to the N. W.
and W. N. W. a brific gale. The fea ran too high to
attempt a palfage over the Banks of Somme, conic-
quently at three quarters after three the Comman-
dant propufed to enter into the port.

At (even o'clock the Foudre entered the port,
when it appeared that our loft was four men killed,
and twenty two wounded, eleven of them danger•
oully."
