At five o'clock this morning an expreib arrived at
the Admiralty, with difpatches, containing the parti-
culars of the attacks made on Calais and Boulogne.
They are expe&ed to be given in the Gazette of this
evening.

In the mean time we (hall (late fuch fartOer cir-
cumilances as have come to our knowledge refpeeling
the attack on the gun-boats, which, we fear, has not
done them all the damage we could have withed,
owing to the impoffibility ofour velfels following therm
in the fhoal water.

By a letter which we have received from an Officer
on board the fleet, and which comes down to fix
o'clock of the night before lafi, we learn that only
two of the enemy's boats were driven on !bore.
The tremendous firing mentioned in the letters
which reached us yefierday, was at Boulogne, as the
found of the firing led oar correpondents to conjec-
ture. The enemy had in that place, from so to 6o
gun boats, including, probably, thole which had fail-
ed the day before from Calais, and which we now
learn were 33 in number.
It now appears that the bombardment was at !aft
impeded, if not Ropt, by fome of our yards running
Ihr.rt of gunpowder. This circumilance is mention-
ed in' our letter, not as indicating any negligence in
the previous equipment, but as a neceffary confe-
quence of the length of time in which they were fo
naively engaged with the enemy.
We are happy to find that we (offered very little
lots, though it appears come of the enemy's artillery
was well direded.—One !hell bora on board the
LIDA frigate and let her on fire, and yet, wonderful
to relate, not a man was hurt by the explofion—the
fire was loon extinguiffied. The people on board the
Discovsay had an efcape as providential—.-a (hot
from the enemy went in at her head and. came out at
her bows, and yet no injury was done to the men,
who were at their quarters at the time.
To prevent any co-operation—indeed to lain the
care of watching the French prifoners, Government
have ordered them to be removed from thofe places
which, in the event of an enemy landing, may re-
quire peculiar vigilance. Thole confined at Ply.
mouth, are in confequence removing to Stapleton
prifon, near Bri Rol. -About ago of them were marched
from Plymouth the day before yefterday. under an
elcort of the Cornifh Militia.
