turday off Boulogne, observed a Boat coming out
from that place ; the men on board of which,
when they got within half-a-mile of the Taommtusa,
held up a sinall cask, which they afterwards threw
into the sea, and went back ; a boat was sent to pick
up the cask, which, on opening, was found to contain
a packet directed to the Admiralty.
The contents are probably French Bulletins, eon-
taining intelligence of a nature favourable to the ene-
my,— No thing was known respecting them when this
paper was put to press, but we cannot but feel appre-
hensive that they arz. of a description afflicting to the
h2pes of our Allies.

By the SnuaiNA,'arrived at Portsmouth, dispatches
have been received from Constantinople, Malta, and
Gibraltar.

Dispatches have also been received from the West
Indies, brought by the HAWKE brig. By this vessel,

'roispatehes !Skye been received from Sir HARFORD
Jovi, Ambassador to the Court at Ispahan, which
ale of the most satisfactory nature. It appears that
he Arrived sit Bushire, a port in the Persian Gulph, in
the Nensubn frigate, early in October last, and was
teceivedly the principal Sheiks with the utmost re-
ipect. An Express was sent to Ispahan, where the
Emperor of PERSIA was, notifying the arrival (4 Sir
iiKRFORD JoNEs, to which a reply was made, that he
was te'proceed. For this purpose, contributions were
made through the several places he had to pass ; and
near four.huudred mules provided, for the,purpose of,
caVrying-the baggage belonging to Sir HARFORD and
his su la as also the presents intended to be given.
It appears that the French had formed considerable
expectations' with respect to Sir HARFORD JONES not
being favourably received, and had obtained posses-
sion of the Island of Carac, in the Persian Gulph,
which has a regular fortification, with a body of sol-
diers, under the immediate command of French. offi-
c,?rs. Several French engineers had taken surveys of
the roads, &c. in Persia, and they had so far succeeded
as to have nearly completed the establishment of a
foundery for making cannon, &c. In consequence of
a remonstrance from Sir HARFORD JONES, the French
officers, &c. were removed from the island of Carac,
and the troops reduced to the usual number requisite
for mounting guard only. Sir HARFORD JONES was
treated with the utmost attention and respect by all
ranks. Interpreters, guards, amr. attendants of every
description, were sent from the interior to accompany
him in his journey to Ispahan.
