While the ARIADI4 I frigate was lying-to off Boa.
lope, on Monday night, a large boat was perceived
making towards her from the (here. She was fpee-
dily taken alongfide, when she proved to be a boat
from one of the Boulogne flotilla, which had been
fent to Gravelines for provifions. She was accord.
ingly filled with provifions of all forts, and on her
turn for Boulogne, when the crew. confining of fevo
Dutchmen, deferted with. her. Five of them has
engaged to enter into his Majefty's fervice ; the attic
two, who teem much in fear, are defirous of being
fern to prifon. The intelligence they give, and which
muff be received with caution, tae, that every thi.
at Boulogne is now in re:Wind's for the intended .
vafion, the enemy confidering thendelves fo full
provided with the means of conveying the ttereps
this country, as not to require any addition to then
number. They reprefent, as the motives for the
der/ninth their dereftation of the French. and refeni
mein cf the violence ufed to Kelt them into their fen

We can afrore the public that a gentleman belon,

his left hand for nearly three years, has had it per.
feilly relic/red in a few days, fo as to perform on - -

The hop planters of Kent complain of the prefen \
