EXPEDITION TO BOULOGNE.

DOVER, NOVEMBER 21.
No attack has yet been made by our fquadron on
the enemy's flotilla, owing to the wind blowing right
on the French Chore. A cutter came from Boulogne

Roads to-day, but blings nothing new ; the French

gun brigs remain in the fame pofition as they were
whin our (hips firft went off there.

ANOTHSIL LETTER, SAME DATE.
A brilk firing was heard here this morning in the
direaion of Boubgne, but which did not lall above
half an hour.

The boat which failed on Tuefday moning, with
difpatches for Sir SIDNEY SMITH, returned about one
o'clock to-day. She landed difpatches for the Admi-
ral, at Deal, which were immediately forwarded by
a dragoon. From this boat I learn, that on Tuefday
night a ten oared galley of ours, in reconnoitting the
French row boats, fell in by chance with one of their
ontermon cads. An anion immediately commen-
ced between them, which laned for tome time. I am
concerned to Rate, that one of our gallant tars was
killed by a French fabre ; another was to much
wounded in the thigh, that it is feared amputation
will be neceffary; two others alfo were nightly wound-
ed. The French boat made her efcapc, but it is fup-
Pored not without confiderable lots, as the was very
full of men. Our boat returned to the Antelope, to
which the belonged.
The Commander of the Nile cutter, which lies in
this harbour, failed this afternoon in an open boat,
with difpatches for the Admiral off Boulogne.

AS SEA, OFF BOUI.OGNE.

THURSDAY, SIX O'CLOCK, A. M.

" Since my letter of Tuefday nothing material has
occurred. The wind being light, fcant, and variable,
fomeof the heavy failing gunbrigs,having the launches
_ _ _

in tow, did not reach their deflination till that after,
noon. The whole of the fquadron having at length
arrived, the attack was anxioufly expelled to be
made in the cantle of the night. Towards evening,
however, the wind 'lifted to the Weftward, and the
weather became fqually, accompanied with a heavy
rain. Every thing remained quiet for the night.
46 On Wednefday, at day break, the fleet was dir-
covered at anchor, in nearly the fame lunation that
it was Peen the preceding night. In the cantle of the
day we obferved fame trifling movements, and a few
occational fignals. As the evening approached, we
looked for the attack with additional confidence.—
The wind had now got round to the Ealiward, and
the fleet appealed to have taken up the bell potlible
Ration for running into the harbour with the flood
tide. About nine, two rockets were fired, which we
conceived to be fignals for the leading (hips to get
under weigh. Our expetiatien again became railed
to the higheß pitch ; but the wind; which had been
gradually increafing all day, at length blew a vio-
lent gale, and thus, we prefume, rendered neceffary
a farther fulpenfian of hoßilities.
" Our boat has kept hovering about the fleet con.
ftantly, In that nothing important can have efcaped
our obfcrvatinn. We yefterday ran fufliciently dole
to the chore to fee, without the Alliance of glatres,
the town and flotilla. The Inner Hatlytur of Bou-
logne is fo full of (hipping as to refemble a Foreft.
There appear to be immenfe encampments on the
Heights, both to the Ealiward and Wcftward, but
we could not dillinguith any troops.
44 We are now blown off by the violence of the
gale, bat (hall refture our Ration as loon as it mo-
derates. We leave the fleet riding lately at anchor.
Unlefs the wind abates, it will probably be obliged to
draw off, a., it has now to encounter a lee (bore. No
attentive operation had commenced at five o'clock
this morning."

DUEL.—Early on Wednefday, in the morning, a
meeting took place, near Kennington, between Capt.
F. and Lieut. W. Q. both in the army. Captain F.
was attended by Mr. C. and Lient. Q., by Capt. H.
of the navy. After exchanging two fl►,ts each, they
were both wounded—the latter, we undcatand, thin.
geroully.
Yeilerday morning the difpatches for Bengal, Ma.
' dras, and St. Helena, by the Belle packet, were
finally doled at the Ealt India Honfe, and fent to
Portfmouth. The paffengers for Bengal are :
Mr. John Barn. Free Mariner; hitier Prothero; Mrs.
Mary Redd4U; Miffes Margaret Stuart, Joyce Britain, and Mary
Jane R off.

CORN MARKET, MARL-LANE, Nov. 22.—The irm
ports of Wheat today are few, but a good fupply
on hand. The trade is dull of Pale, and at lefs,
for fecond and inferior qua:ities ; but fine keep
their prices—Barley in good fupply, and is ra-
ther cheaper—Malt and White Peas vary but little
Grey none—Beans of both furls remain Icarce, and
are dearer—There are confiderable arrivals of Oats,
but few purcbafes are made, and thefe at inferior
price—Flour in fhort fupply, without variation•
