come out of one of the ports to the eaßward, no doubt,
with an intent to join thofe at Boulogne. All the
men of war in the Downs are getting under way, in
order to (top their progrefs ; but I am much afraid
the thicknefi of the weather will kale their efforts,
and enable the enemy to effea what they have in
view."
