Advices have been received by Government re-
fpeeting the (tate of the enemy's force in the Tezel,
by which it appears that in that quarter they are
completely ready for lea. The Rear-Admiral's Rag
is flying on board a 4., with her top-fails bent. The
gun boats there are about yo in number, and they
are now only waiting an opportunity to make their
efcape to Flufhing t a great many more are building.
The Yoaa, of 64 guns, and Paiscass of ORANGS,
of 74 guns, are ordered to reinforce our *adroit
blocking up the Texel.
In our preceding columns we have given ample
extrads from the journals and letters received• by zbe
mails of yellerday. It will be feen from them, that
the levyof troops ordered in Ruffia is two outof every
Soo peafants, which is Paid to he not beyond the ufual
number; but in addition to this, the Ruffian navy is
certainly to be equipped, and it will be fern by the
aceountsfrom Paris, that the Ruffian Mmifter there
has received a fignal mark of the EMPEROR'S favour,
as a reward for his fpirited condat in his intercourfe
with the French Government.—From fuch a circum-
tiance as this, as much may fometimes be gathered as
from an Ukafe or Proclamation.

If fuch fymptonss of cor :-L:fs were manifetled to-
wards the Flirt. CONSUL, on account of previous
tranfaEtions, how much more indignant mull be the
feelings of ALEXANDER, in confequence of the infults
offered to his dignity, in the perfon of his Repre-
fentative, in confevence of the robbery committed on
Hausburgh, Bremen, and Lubec, and in confequence
of that general fpirit of ambition difplayed by the
Cuter CONSUL, whole aim is to have all the Powers
of Europe crouching at his feet. Then can be no
doubt that his Imperial Mikity the Eu P ;ROI is now
fenfible that fume meafures muff be purfued, to check
the mad career of the French Government, and to
let bounds to their eatravagant pretenfions. Raffia
bash in its power to do it, and Wit only Pets the es-
(ample, its condo& will, no doubt, have a happy In•
fluence on the reit of the Northern Powers.

Had the accounts from the North any effeet in
haflening the Return of Bortarae ra from the cola t
His arrival a; Paris was announced to the h ci-
tizens no the morning of the t9th, by a difcharge oft
tao pieces of cannon !
The Moniensr has not raid much about BONAPAILTIVN
abfence, which Jailed on the whole near three weeks,
and he feems never to have quitted Boologne and its
neighbourhood. lie was eitpaled at Bruffels and
Dunkirk ; and it is fill laid that he will Wit thofe
ports before the armament falls. All we learn from
the Moeiterr is, that BONAPARTE vapoured about the
harbour of Boulogne with the adtivity of a this
waiter. His gallantry in firing bombs at the Englint'
(hips, which fornetimes threw a few (hot at them,
(for unqueftionably Mere has been no regular attack
fince be went there), is proOgioully extolled, and he
is for thee exploits in the harbour of Boulogne
praifed far beyond Celle aid FRU:MUCK the Great.
The Aleffiresr, however, is wholly fluent refpeeing a
grievous difafter which took place while this modern
CAN urn. who is to defy winds, and tides. and waves,
was at Boulogne.
On the 7th. 66 gun boats were in tha outer road,
when the weather became very tempeftuous. They
were ordered to come into the harbour; but one
running aground, another blocking up the mouth of.
the harbour, the tea, except 30, could not enter.—
Ave were driven afhore, and beaten to pieces, and a
confiderable number of people were drowned. Such
was the confu lion and defpair of thofe gallant invaders.
that la of the boats were forced to Peek 'better at Ca-
lais, and t n had the good fortune to regain the bar-
bcur of Boulogne the next day. One was taken ;
which was the veffel brought into Deal. as our
Readers will remember. We fhould think that this
occurrence will not be loft on the people who are to
embark in the national flotilla.

In addition to the articles from Holland received
by the Mails, we have this day received, by a private
