" DOVER, DEC. 10.

14 On Sunday about three o'clock, the premedi-
tated expedition againii Calais took piece under
the direction of Sir HoMe POPHAM and Mr. FRANCIS,
which we are happy to date has been attended with
much greater facce:s than the late Boulogne attack.
The ANTELOPI failed for the above purpofe on
Thutfday morning left ; nothing has been known
till this afternoon, the truth of which may be relied
on, as it comes from :be mouth of a i.erfon who was
engaged in the enterprize.—The boats of the ANTl-
t.nrs were fent dole in thole, and In far faceeeded
as to get a Fire Brig placed direaly under Fort
Rouge, which, after a given time, with the affiftance
of the newly invented Catamarans, exploded. by
which the enemy's (hipping has fuftained confidarable
damage, and Fort Rouge ahroft entirely deßroyed.
We cannot peremptorily date the number of velels
loft in this attack by the enemy, but they moil be
confiderable, as well as the number of feamen who
mutt have petalled by the blowing up of their veliels.
Not a man was loft on our pert, as the firing of the
brig did not take place till the time fixed, which was
fufficient to enable our men and boats to be com-
pletely out of danger."

It is flitted, that in the contra is for fhippiog now I
going on by Goys! ntnent, it is flipulated that the
veffels are not to go beyond Gibraltar. If this be
true, the Expedition will be not only European, but
confined to our own leas and neighbourhood. We
not pretend to conjecture where it is g^ing. The
tranfports arc to be vidualled for three months.

Letters received yeflerday Flom Fltaing mention,
that the epidemical difeafe at Gibraltar, &c. has et-
tended to the Coati of Africa, and that the greatefi
part of the Spanith garrifon of Alhucema,, about ten
miles from Ceuta, had nearly perithed uith
ticßnefs
and hunger, from which it was feared the blours
would get pofkfLon of the place.

We learn by the Attest Ll.* packet, which arrived
lafl Saturday at Falmouth. that the two French fri-
gates, la Sybille and la Didon, effedted their cfcape
frOm New York, by puffing through that dangerous
paliagy called Ed % Gaze, while the CAMBRIAN and
Ls AN nr e, by which they had been watched, were ly-
ing at Sandy Hook. It was repotted at New York
that JE2.OT4/ BoNAIART6 was on board la Sy bill:.
The two Britifh frigates foon got notice of their
cape, and went immediately in ruri.iit of them ;
should they elude their vigilance, it is not improbable I
that they may fall in with Come of our cruizers in
Ent ope before they can reach a French port.
lhe Skuyler packet arrived alfo on Saturday at
FAlmouth with a mail from Litbon, but the letters,
in crmfegnence of the neceflity of fubjclin them to
fumigation, have not yet been received at the Poll
OtLec.

Ycflerday morning the DoLe of VOR wen: fro:n
0 Aland' to Windlor. Soon After hreakfah his Ma-
yes-re, accompanied by the Dukes of `foie and
Castatunac„ Frineeffes SO7NIA and AMattend-
ed by Lady PITT, Lord Watsimatc•re, Generals
Frictor slid Haacourr, Colonel Ds meow, and
other attendants, took an airing in Windfor Great
Park.
Difpatches have been received at the Admiralty
from the lquadron off Ferrol.
Difpatches were received yefferday from Lord
NklAntil, dated the 6:h of Novembet. They contain
the pleating intelligence of the whole of the fleet be-
ing in petted health, not au officer cr Laruan being

a Rag was darted, which ran tow:nth Switiler, B-ack-
nell, and through that town, and to the left down a
