Biussres, Ocronst 21.—The Prefect at Aix•la-
' Chapelle had written to the Minifler of Marine, that
the Department of the Roer was detirous to build
fume flat bottomed boats ; but the Minifter anfwered,
that the number of flat bottomed boats neceffary for
the expedition, now building in the docks, was very
nearly complete, and that the undertaking would
only be delayed by fending flip builders to a dittant
part of the country ; he therefore advifed, that the
Department (hould pay the money it had intended
to apply to that purpofe, into the Treafury.
Fifty-eight flat bottomed boats are now ready for
fea at Ghent. Two large buildings are fitting up
there, to lodge the troops which march through that
town.

Prince ALIiZANDtIt de TIKELHASIM arrived yef-
terday at Harwich, in the AMITY, Capt. Loowntas,
from Hufum, charged with difpatches from the Court
of tit. Peter(burgh to Count Woaow. zow.
The reports refpefling the preparations of the
enemy are very contradielory : it is, however, our
duty to Rate all fuch at leaft Its fcem to tell on any
kind of authority, even when there is a diCagreement
among them.
A Pruflian yeffcl from Middleburg, bound to CA-
lair, which, on endeavouring to enter that port a few
days ago, was fired upon, and obliged to put to fea,
arrived at Dover the mori.ing after. The mailer and
crew hare communicated an exalt detail of the dif.
politbie sorb marine in the different ports of Holland,
and which they folemnly declare did not amount, at
the hour of their departure, to so fail capable of
Rowing 7coo men. Thefe people bad lately been at
Amtlerdam, Rotterdam, touched at Goree, Middle•
burg, and Flufbing, and although on the ifland of
Walcheren there was a confiderable body of French
troops, the number of vetfels, laid to be employed
as tranfports, were fo extremely trifling, both in
their number and conftration, tt,at moR of the in-
habitants were latisfied no ferious intention of in-
vading England, from for Dately ports, was even in the
contemplation of the French Government.—By the
fame means we are likewife informed, that previous 'I
to the &parolee of the velrel from Middleburg, it
was generally underflood there, a treaty with France's
had been concluded, jovvurab4 to the iitterilb of the Re-
public ; and that it was tell.ived, when the treaty was
officially communicated, to open the Daub pots to
fitualert.

The mailer and crew of this Pruffian 'etrel are
very well known in Dover, as they were in the habit
of carrying patlingers from Dover to Calais, and
from Calais to Dover, for come time after the de-
parture of Lord WIIITWoRTH. Their communica-
tions are therefore implicitly credited there, and in-
Jeed are related in a manner that preclucLs even a
iulpicion of deception. We can (tae, however, that
the means which Holland effcrs for the crnveyance
of troops are far beyond any thing that can he judged
from an infptaion of the Dutch ports ; for the num-
ber of boats, Dome of hem very large, which the
canals can pour forth as loon as a do-I4r of requyithas
(hall make its appeataliee, is alniorl incalculable.—
We know, tendes, th.: a nundacr of yards 6: for

the tranfport fervice have been hired by the Dutch
Government, and that in confequeoce feveral mer.
chants have, to fave their property, transferred their
veffels to Pruflians.

Letters hart been received from off Ferrol, dated
zoth 041ober, that the fquadron under Commodore
Sir E. PhLLEW, Bart. was all well at that period,
and confined of the following Blips :—TONANT, 84
guns, Commodore Sir E. PaLLsw ; IMFETORUKI 84
guns, Capt. J. B. MARTIN; COLLOSSUS, 74 guns,
Captain G. MARTIN ; SPAITIATE, 84 guns, Capt.
MANLEY ; DRAGON, 74 guns, Capt. GRIFFITH ; and
Slaws, 36 guns, Capt. PROWSF ; the gallant Com-
modore entertained hopes the French men of war in
Ferrol and Corunna, would, when it came on to
blow hard, leave their lurking holes and give our
fquadron a chance of condufting them. into Britifhl
ports, The French men of war now in the harbour of
Ferrol arc, l'Argonaut, 4 guns; l'Hero, 74, le
Fougeaux, 74, and le Redomptable, 74; and in the
harbour of Corunna le Dugaytruin, 84 ; la Ra
vanche, 44 ; and la Guerriere, 44. There is alfo a
Batavian Ihip of 74 guns, in the harbour of Ferrol.
A Letter from Lilbon, dated 'September zoth,
Rates, that two Dann prizes captured by the LORD
NELSON privateer, were brought in there on the
13th. One of them is called the Dorothea Mar-
garetta, Captain DANIEL Rowe, and belongs to
M. MoacH, merchant, of Chrillianfand.—She had
failed from Malaga with a lading of wine, tobac-
co, hides, and fruit, and was bound to Ham;
burgh ; but in confequence of an article in the char-
ter party, which Rated, that if the Elbe at the time
of her arrival there thould be blockaded, the was then
to proceed to Toningen. The fecond prize is the
Dolphin, Captain NIELS LORINTZ RN COLLIL/NDT, be-
longing to M. HENRY FoaLsia, of Flenfburgh, with
oil, brandy, fulphur, and grapes, from Trielle. As
the Prince Regent, agreeably to the principles he has
adopted, of obferving the (triad! neutrality, bad
given orders that the guard fbip in the Tagus fhould
fuffer no privateers to pats ; that no prizes fhould go
higher up than fort Belem, and that no privateer
fhould be allowed to remain longer than 24 hours, in
order to obtain refrefhments,• the Darn& Confal
found himfelf under confiderable embarraffment, as
it was hardly ironic, in fo fhort a time, to go
through the proper forms in protelling againit the
privateer, and obtaining the releafe of the 'mire's.—
The Conful, however, found means to get a prolon-
gation of the time to 48 hours, and the refult of his
protell was, that the Dolphin was releafed and given
up to him.

Yenerday his MAJesrv, Princefs SOPHIA, and the
Duke of KENT, took an airing to Cumberland Lodge.
Her Mslairs, and PRINCIISIS, with SOPHIA of
Gloqier, and their attendants, in fonr coaches and
four, took an airing through
.the Great Park to his
MAJZSTY, atCumberland Lodge, and viowed the nod
there.

Her Ma'am. had a fele& party at the Lodge in
the evening, in honour of Princefs Sor MIA'S birth-day.
Yefierday at three o'clock, the LORD Cuaticsi..-
LOR, with his ufual Attendants, came down to the
Houle of Lords, where he was tbortly after joined by
Lords Hosaer and ALVAN LEY.—The Houle of
Commons, reprefented by Mr Drsou, Mr. A. Ban-
SON, and the fubordinate Clerks and Officers of the
Houfe, appeared at the Bar.—When the Loan
CHavicau.os, by virtue of his MAJISTY'S Commif-
lion, prorogued Parliament to the sad of November
infiant. The Commons then withdrew, and their
Lordthips retired.
We learn from Danbury Camp, that on Tuefday
night the fire beacons were all difplayed along the
Ettex coati. Some part of the troops conceived the
fignal to he a real one, in confequence of which thou-
finds of them immediately repaired to their appoint-
cd polls, and on being undeceived, expreffed a Jeep re-
gret at the slifappointment. This circurnflance may
hr contidered as a happy pledge of the alive ardour
of our troops, which, in cafe of real danger, mat
tender their efforts invincible.

Danial Ifaac Eaton, formerly a hookfeller in New-
gate•ftreet, convifted louse years fince for publiflsing
a certain feditious libel, and who in confequence of
not appearing to receive the judgment of the Court,
had a writ of outlawry iffued againa him, was yet.-
terday apprehended by Revitt, one of the Bow.ftreet
officers, and lodged in the cufludy of the Sheriff of
London, in order to be brought into the Court of
King's Bench the firft day of next term, to plead to
the outlawry.
Thurfday fe'nnight, John Chettle, a perfen-who,
under the aiiiimed rank of a Lieutenant in the Navy.,
lodged and boarded at the Hind Inn, at Welling-
brno', was fully committed from the public•office,
Bow-flreet, for trial at the next affixes for North
ampton, on a charge of having flolen a letter out of
the Poll-office, kept at the above Inn (and to which
from his lodging in the houfe he had occafional ac-
cefs,) containing bills to the amount of 1241.—He
was not fufpeCted fome time after he left Wel-
s‘ hen he was taken at Andover, and fome
of the bills found upon him.
The Gentleman whom we mentioned yeflerday as
having unfortunately met with fo let inus an accident,
is hill alive ; but we are lorry to hear, that it is not
ftippofed to be its any degree probable that he can
recover. The inflammation has increafed to a very
great height, and lie is fo levet ifh, that it was found
iseceffary to bleed him three times fince the accident
took place. It has not been thought fit to remove him
to town in his relent weak hate, or to his houfe,
near Holloway Mount ; he therefore Pill remains at
Hornfey. The accident is now pofi. ively Rated tohave
been caufed by nothing more than the paper wadding
of two cartridge!, which, being accidentally in the
piece, ar.d dilchargcd at a very Omit itidancei pent
trated into the hide r I Mr. Dewy, carrying a piece
of the coat, waiflcoat, and (hot n ith it into the in-
taints. He is a very yromgman,not long in Wings,
and bears a moll rel-peftable charafter. His relatives
are in the utmost dillrefs for his untimely fate.
