The Ariadne, Cy 14 Pet 1N ch from London, is ar-
rived at Leith, all well.

Late accounts (late, that there are three (hips of
the lint two fi ;gates apparently ready for fca
in the ; but as four or five (hips of
fuperictr forge arc watching them, it is not likely
they will ♦ent.:rc out.

Several m.•re (hips have been ordered to proceed
to the Milt coaft, for the proteEtion of that coun-
try, as it is believed not impofflble that the enemy
may make fomc attempt in that quarter co effect
defcent.
Extrad of a Letter from on board one of his
Majelly's (hips in Admiral Sir tames SAUMAREZ'S
fquadrorr, dated off Cadiz, 28t Angult, 18ot.
" We arc anzioufly waiting the combined fqua-
dron to come out, fhould they again dare; and we
be fo fortunate as to get hold of the Monfieurs
and Dons once more, free from their heavy bat-
teries, we make no 'doubt of giving a good ac-
count of them, and letting them know we are Hill
Britifh Tars. The fruit of our late vidory has
been the difabling three French (hips; for they
were all terribly hammered; the dcftruFtion of
two fiat rates, the capture of a 74, (St. Antonio,)
and the annihilation of the plans of fizteen fail of
the line; and all this with a force of feven fail of
the line originally, reduced, by the lofs of the
HANNIBAL. and the POMPEII not being ready, to
Hoc fail; and of thole in the laft aftion, the Cms
VIALRABLE,«nd Su PE aa only were engaged, the
VENERAIILL was molt dreadfully cut up by the
French Formidable, of So guns, and batteries ;
but fhe loft few men, confidering the feverity of
the enemy's flue and the weight of metal."

FALSR ALARM !-At one o'clock on Tuefday
the sons were fired from the different (hips in the
Roads at Margate. The firing being rapid and
irregular, the alarm of invafion fpread with eleBric
celerity through the town. Thoufinds crowded
to the Pier, to afcertam the particulars ; but' the
furf was too high to permit any communication
between the ',cads and the fhore.—lt was at length
diicovered that it, was the Anniverfary of the
Kinn Coronation, and as fuel; the true caufe of
the firer,' in the Roads.

A batl..ng machine was on Sunday blown over
at Rani!' -ate, with a Lady in it; the hark was kill-
ed, but Jac Lady efcapcd unhurt. A fimilar ac-
cident happened on Monday.—A bathing machine
was blown down, with two Gentlemen m it while
bathing. The machine was totally demolifhed, and
the Gentlemen loft a gold watch ana all their
clothes, themfelves efeaping with difficulty. In a
Rate of trepidation and perfeet nakednefs, they
trembled up the Reps into the bathing room, where
fat fome two dozen Ladies. Each Lady held her
fan or gown to her eyes; but fome, if they lifted
theinclothes to hide their faces, ezpofed fome other
part, being ton falhiombly drelred to have petti-
coats. Such (bricking and &making, and faint-
ing and fcampering, and roaring and crying, never
becrz occurred in the place.
