Sir STDIIIY SMITH, in confequenee of orders to
that dial, tranfmitted from the Admiralty. has ar-
rived in town, to wait upon, and receive farther in•
fixations from the Board.

An attempt, it appears by our Deal and Dover
louts, has been made at Boulogne, to cut out and
defirey Tome of the enemy's flotilla, in which one
man was killed and another wounded. The accounts,
however, as yet received, are very contradidory.

A confiderable relaxation has taken place within
thefe few days in fume of our war equipments, and
a number of workmen have been difcharged. This
circumflance has given rife, in fome circles, to an
opinion that certainly fome kind of negotiation for
peace is now on foot, in which Pruffia asts the office
of Mediator. We believe, however, that there is no
ground whatever for this rumour. A better reafon
may be affigned for fufpending the equipments to
which we have alluded. The Emperors of Ruffle
and Auttria have, we underhand, notified to our'
Court, that if the money intended to be laid out in
certain attempts on our part be furnilhed to them,
they can, with the fame means, bring much more
powerful forces into the field than could pollibly be
accomplifhed by an expenditure to the fame amount
in this country.

The intelligence which we Rated on Wednefday
latl on the authority of a letter from Vienna of a
Ruffian force having arrived at Naples, is confirmed
by a letter received yellerday from Venice of the date
of the 9th ult. which Rates, that on the zoth of An-
glia a force of 15,000 Ruffians landed at Naples,
which were immediately marched to affift in the
defence of the North.wellern frontier, threatened
by the French, while General CRAIG was expelled
hourly with Soon men from Mirka to garrifon the ca-
pital, by invitation from his Sicilian Maidly.
Private letters from Holland of the 28th and 29th
ult. Rate that the merchants entertain hopes of being
ere long allowed to renew their commercial inter-
' courfc with England, as they are already permitted
to receive from this country frict articles as are the
produce of other States ; and the manufaaured goods
of England, it is raid, are henceforward to be allowed
to be imported into Holland, on payment of a duty
of fevers and a half per cent. This permiCGon, it is
added, has already been aped upon by the Dutch
Merchants, who have, in confcquence of it, fent or-
Iders to their correfpondents in London to a very
confiderable amount.

Fierce agaipli Maria and Rana op the z6th ult.
but no 4001 confirm;:ion of this event as yet been

French troops hill remain in that country.

The rural (ports yefterday in Mrs. Barrow's field
attracted a great concourfe of people. They cam.
menced with the combat at tingle (lick. A butcher
of this place proved the champion ; at firft having
broke the heads of three who attacked him, without
having received a blow on the head himfelf ; but the
fourth, who wasa granger, a Lancathire man, ran
away with the laurels ; for, at the Orli fet to, he
broke the butcher's head ; a Weft countryman, and
a lhoemaker, likewife attacked him, but be foon
broke their heads, without their having ary chance
with him. No other candidate durft attack him,
which entitled him to both the prises of four guineas
and two guineas. The poney races followed, and
afforded force excellent (pore. The neat amafe-
ment was a foot race, for Tailor's jackets, at the dil.
tance of aoo yards ; the running of the jack tars af-
forded excellent amnfement. The laft (port an-
nounced was a race by females, for a holland fmock,

prize was not difpofed of.
