LOYDIV. Aua. tc.—All eyes are npw turned to-
wards the matt. I: is the general opinion that the
repetitions foe the iteration of England draw to a
ekes. and that this mighty expedition wi'l Conn be
carried into *IN& Letters from Boulogne, Cry—
There never was In little bull's teen in this place. al-
though fuernunded on all fides with camps and flips.
The greatell order and faience prevail, and nothing
Is to be beard but wat like sirs and fangs of vittory.
When the weather is fine, the eye can reach the
!bores of England t but our fuldiers with to reach
them in another manner. There is nut the leaf, doubt
about the defccnt being effcetecl. and of complete foe-
cefs. A Rorm is the only obtiacle to be dreaded I but
the paffage is Co (bort, that if the winds are once fa-
vourable, it mull be a great fatality indeed if they
change in a few hours. In thou, this grand event
will (non be determined, and it is in a narrow Chan.tel
that the Fate of England and the Liberty of the Seas
will be decided. The important events which are ap-
proaching produce various fentiments. Amonitt
many fear is mixed with hope. The general with,
however, appears to be, that thisbold enterprise may
he at once undertaken, as it appears the only means
of terminating a (parte% for which there Teems no
other alternative than the fate of arms. At the fame
time, however, while, on one fide, great reliance is
placed on the extent of preparations fo long in hand,
and upon the good fortune which often attends dar-
ing projees, it is impoliEble. on the other, to forget
the (Mager of the winds aril the lea, or to avoid
thinking of the pafilsility of a great reverfe, which
may only tend to prolong the knolge of war. The
uncertainty attending this intereling event—the por-
fpertil of an engagement, IMO so man. between the
two nations, upon 'he element which divides them—

We have much fatisfaflion in learning from Jan
night's Gazette, as may be feen in another part of
our Paper, that the Blonde pi ivateer, which took the
Wolverene, and did fo much mifchief to our trade,
has been captured by the Loses frigate, after a run-
ning fight of nearly twenty hours. The continuance
of her plundering prngrefs proves how fortunate the
Frenchman has been to have fo long efcaped the
vigilance of our flips.

We are concerned to Hate that the fart we men-
tioned yefterday of one of our cutters having been
funk off Boulogne on Sunday by a fhot from the
enemy, has been confirmed. It gives us much plea
I lure, however, to be able to add, that none of the
people were loft, or even hurt, the boats from the
fquadron having immediately been fent to their aft-
anee, and h.tving fuccezded in faring the whole.
All the advices from the Coati concur in Tepee-
tenting that there is the firongeft probability that an
attempt to invade this country wiU be immediately
hazarded. Hitherto the enemy has contented him.
Pelf with making demonftratione, the ale& of which
was to keep us continually on the alerte e no doubt
expefling that the vigilance of the Britifli navy
would be firfl relaxed, and ultimately deftioyed by
unfounded and continued alarm. The movements
in the port of Boulogne have affumed a more deci-
ded and adventurous (hype within the tall four days.
Tte French flotilla no longer confines itfelf to a few
boGday manceuvres at the mouth of the harbour of,
Boulogne, but the whole of theii naval conveyance
keens to be coming out, and matfhalling Will in fail-
ing order, under the proteaion of the tremendous
batteries which cover that town.

Although the enemy's gun boats did not begin to
move out of the harbour of Boulogne until Sunday
morning, yet fo incriTaut were the exertions of the
French tailors, quickened and encouraged, moll pro-
bably, by the largeffes and approbation of his Majef-
ty the Esqi, OMR, that on the evening of that day no
lets than lso boats full, to all appearance, of foldiers,
had anchbred °wade the harbour.

There has been no firing face Sunday, and our
valets wait impatiently for the departure of the
enemies craft from the cover ofthe batteries on (bore,
if that be yet their intention, of which we confefs we
entertain prong doubts. Indeed 350, which is about
the number of boats that have come out of Boulogne,
is nor loch a force as they will venture to hazard an
invafion with. We are of opinion, however, that
our force in the narrow feat ought to be increafed.
Indeed, from tilt clamour that was made againfl
Earl Sr. ViNce NT, by the men now in'power, for
not providing a number of (mall craft to oppofe thole
of the enemy, we ezpaled long ere now to have Peen
our flotillas augmented confiderably. Perhaps, how-
ever, means for this purpofe have been adopted which
only wait a more derifive dcmonftration of the
enemy's views before the finithing hand be put to
them.

A few days will deckle whether the enemy's move-
ments arc merely for exercifing their forccs4 or a:sl-0-
lutely to put their rnen4ces to the proof. Wheu the
attempt is made, we are confident that the courage
and zeal of this country require nothing but ditci-
pline, leaders, and good direaion, to triumph over
the whole ail-Ailing force of France.
