Panzamea, Dec. 20.—This day the RANGER. cut-
ter is returned from a cruize. Have juft received
the melancholy intelligence that a fmall coafting vef.
fel, belonging to St. Ire's, in attempting to go round

e PLYMOUTH, Dsc. L.-Arrived the San Ygnaza
Loyalla, SAL*); es, from Bilboa, bound to Exeter.
PORTSMOUTH, DIC. 22.—Sailed the OR►HEUS fri•
gate, with the CERES tranfport, for Cork : alfo the
homeward bound veffels from Lifbon, under convoy
of the MARINER gun veffcl, for the Downs. Wind
Southerly.
DIAL, Dec. el—.-The LEOPARD of so guns, and
the SULPHUR bomb put to fea above a week ago, from
the Downs, in confequence of moll pofitive orders to
that effed, for Boulogne; and foon found thernfelves
dare in witk the French coat. On the zsth, there
being a frefh breeze from the S. E. they ran along
!bore from Cape Blanc Nefs to Boulogne. It being
fpring tides, and the Roods letting hong in (bore off
Cape Grefoiz, about one o'clock on the isth, they
were driven much clofer in than they imagined ;
the enemy opened a very heavy fire on theta from
their mortars and gun batteries at Cape Grefniz
The SOLPHUa was in (bore of the Lao►aan, and all
the (hot went over her, but one (truck the LEOPARD
on her larboard quarter, but did not hurt any petfon.
Seyeral (hells bud! over the Suite Mt, and feveral
fell dote to her without butting, but did no damage.
Our veffels then got out of the enemy's range; but
they continued their fire for a cnnfsderahle time after.
In the evening they flood in dole to Boulogne, where
they counted about 25 fail of brigs, with their top.
gallant•yards acrofs, and moll of them hoifling their
top fail.yards, which is a French cullom previous to
their potting to lea. In the courfe of the day the fa
floaraLors and Haar, joined the LPOPARD and SoL-
s'arra ; and as out people bad every reafon to expel
the enemy out in the night, they were fo dote in al-
ways, that at Porte! they could hear the (entries call
out. The night was dark, and of courfe none of
oar (hips could be fun by the enemy. On Friday
the (quadron was joined by the Lsna, Pommel,
and BLooonotrti. On Saturday morning a convoy
of 22 fail of brigs, (loops, and chafe mums got into
Boulogne, from the weftward. The LIMA was al.
aloft near enough to cut Come of them off. but they

were too well protedted by the batteries. One half
„Lot the fquadron always anchors in the evening off
noulogne, the other half keeps cruising, fo that it
is next to an impoffibility for the enemy to get out.
The encampments about Boulogne are certainly large,
bat nothing equal to what is fuppofed (rays an intel-
ligent officer on board of the fquadron). They arc,
as well as I can judge, as follows:—To the N. E. of
Port De Corry, a camp of 3.000 men ; between Fort
De Corry and Fort De Brohe, twocamps of 3 ocioo men
each ; from Fort De Brohe to Boulogne, about three
quarters of a mile from the (bore, a line of encamp-
ment extending to Boulogne, containing 5,000 man ;
from Boulogne to Portel, a line of encampment con-
taining 5.000 men; dote to Fort De Corry% an im-
xnenfe number of people are employed making a
baron for gun boats. Half a mile to the N. E. of
Fort De Beebe they are making another baton : if
they delay the InvaGon till there bafons are finifbed,
we will have the days tolerably long. It is fomewhat
remarkable, that in all the different camps we never
could fee any of the foldiers ; they certainly are
either not there at all, or they are very dole houfe-
keepers. There are in Boulogne about too fail of
gun-boats, exclufive of the brigs.
DIAL, Die. aa.—Sailed for the River, the Ant-
werp. Dicatmson, from Lifbon. Came down the
Aacnaa gun vet:fel and feveral tranfports, from Sheer-
nefs. The Cuastrrom frigate has a fignal to convoy
the tranfports to Bantry Bay. Wind S. W.

Jingler, (the veffel mentioned as having put into
Yarmouth on the sth inn. from a lints of weather)
arrived on Thurfday in Hull Roads, with a very
large fupply of guns, powder, and military (torts, con-

ther. After firing feveral guns as Ggnals of &firers
me ran a confiderable way op the Loch, and came
to an anchor in a place of fafety. The people refid-
Ang in the neighbourhood were much alarmed with
the firing, which they conceived came from one of

On Friday k'nnight, the brig Nile, 5. Howe's',
mailer, from London, bound to Leeds. was ftranded

To the exertions of Mr. Mauna:A., the agent, Mr.
J. HIND, and the perfons employed by them in caulk-
ing the ?del, re•lhipping her rudder, &c the owners
are indebted for the prefervation of the brig, and a
moil valuable cargo, which, without their humane

' the heavy gale and tremendous lea of Saturday.—
Part of the cargo is warehoofed at Salt fleet, unda-

conduaed by the life-boat to, and Wily moored at
