We have received New York papers to the tad
July. 1:om which we have prefented ample extracts.
They (late that our force in the Weftern hemifphere
has blockaded Gaudaloupe, a circumtlance extremely
probable, as that dhoti, it was known, was to be the
next objet of attack after Tobago. We may loon
expel to hear of its furrender.

Accounts were received yetterday from our fleet
off Hcfroet, flating, that the French Government
have made a demand for four hundred gun boats, to
be immediately fupplied for the troops intended to be
fcnt againll this country. The French are increafing
their force considerably at the Helder and the Brie!,
from an apprehenfion of an attack being made upon
that quarter by a Bi itifh force ; but this is not the only
motive for there movements—they dint-A the Dutch,
who feel themfelves fo much abufed, inflated, and
oppreffed by their fraternifing tyranti, that the very
name of Bo AAAAAA I is execrated among them.—
The whole French force in Holland at the prefent
moment is e(imated at 45.000 men.

Difpatches were received yellerday horn Admiral
Coarwaseis. The fleet was all well off Brett.

This morning we received the Following letter from
on board one of the veffels off Boulogne. It pre-
feats the Lama news from that quarter :

" OFT 20VLOG/12, AVC• 23.

" The enemy continue, with unremittcd labour,
employing every moment which the fire from our
veffcls allows them in building either a round tower
or a pier, for I have not yet been able to make nut
which, off the village of Ported. They are alit) bufy
ereCting writ ks in many other places in the neighbour-
hood of Boulogne, for the purpfe, as is fuppofed, of
proteeting the flo.illa which is to rendezvous there,
if they facceed in efeaping our Hying fquadrons, which
will be no eafy matter ; for we can keep the fea in
any weather in which their boats dare attempt to
navigate.

Notwithflanding their perfevering labour, the
work go on but flowly, as we annoy them by
night and by day,- when perceived at their opeta-
tions. If the fire be kept up againa them as it has
been for fome days pall, it will be a long time be-
fore they can fic:fh their works.
You, at home, are right in prep-ming to give
the'cnemy a hearty reception ; for with an inveterate
foe we ought to he prepared at all points. Be affured,
however, yon have nothing to fear unlef, indeed our
fleets were to be dellroyed by fome uncommon hur.
ricane ; for depend upon it, if B attempts
to e• ors the elitcb,• while our !Lips can keep the fea,
his force will be Co much fhattered and difheArtened,
long before he reach our (bores, that he will be able
to make no impreffion on them."

We have received Paris Journals to the 2111
inclufive. In the Moniin.r there is an admitTion that
the French coatis are not quite fafe from the Faith.
They are in fear of fpies I and a mighty boaß is made
of one a& of julticc in liberating an individual un-
;Oily arreßed. They mention the capture of three
EngliOs merchantmen, near Triefie ; and a report
of a French frigate having captured an Englifh onc.
The Turkifh empire hems tottering in every quar-
ter. The rebel AZDUL Wac HMI is again in force,
and Passa•aa Ocs.ou 011C4 more fete the Ottoman

forces at defiance. In addition to all this, Franey
has ord:red the GaAs O SEIGNIOR to prohibit Englift,

Ntts, AUG. tB.—The prefent circumflances have
obliged Government to double its vigilance on our
coatis, and fuch meafures have been there taken that
no fpy or contriver of trouble can land from Eng.
land on our chores, without running the rifquc of an
almoft inevitable amfiation. In confequence of this
fevere vigilance, John Harvey Chrifiie, an Englifh.
man, was lately arrefted and carried before the Firft
Permanent Council of War of the isth Military Di-
vilion, charged with being a fpy. But having prov.
ed his innocence in regard to the crime of w hich he
was accufed, he was di(charged on the 9th by au
unanimity of fuffrages.
Thus, notwithftanding the jail refentment with
which the French are animated againft a Govern.
mene guilty of fo many and fo great offences towards
us—notwithßanding the danger of prejudices, to
which the Rate of hoftility might give rife between
the two nations, jultice preferred its afcendency, and
the facred rights of innocence were refpelled to an
enemy, as they would to a Frenchman—Morinur.
Atm u sr 20.—A (mall privateer of Ancona, corn.
mended by Captain Muzzor.orre, and manned with
from 25 to 30 men, which had never before been at
fca, has taken near Triefte three Englifh valets, laden
with hemp, fulphur, and raw filk, from the Levant.
The privateer on dcfcrying them hoifled Turkith co-
lours: when within reach the Captain ordered them
to come on board and (hew their papers. They im.
mediately hoifled oat a boat and went on board. The
Captain then hoifted hir colours, and after attefling
them by firing a gun, captured the three Englifh
veffels, which made no refinance, though in force and
men they were nearly equal to the privateer, and
though they carried more guns and heavier metal.
Thefe prizes are valued at 30 or 40,0c01. Reeling.
The Englifh party at Triale are the more humbled
as the Captains of theft three (hips being there, at
the time when war was declared, had fent for a band
of mufic, and had tellified their joy in a molt inde•
cent manner.—Monilevr.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNG 28.—The victory gained
by the Pacha of Damafens over Abdul Wechab, bas '
not been followed by thole happy confequences which
were expected. According to the lag intelligence that
rebel having received numerous reinforcements, again
advanced and took pciffelfion of Mecca. The Porte is
going to let on foot two formidable armies ; one of
which is deftined to combat the pretended Caliph in
Arabia I—the other is to aft againft the hordes of
brigands which lay wage Turkey4n Europe. There
preparations require great expence, and, unfortu-
nately, cur finances were never in fo bad a Rate.
The war which has broken out between England
and France, places the Porte in a very embarrafling
fi nation. We are allured that it has been already
required to forbid Engtifb (hips to enter its ports.
and even to prevent them piffing the Dardanelles,
hit smut, Jute at.—On the sth three Amerizan
frigates, with a cutter, a tranfport, and a frill 'Fri-
politan prize, arrived here: they failed from Naples,
in order to join four other American valets, with
which they will return to their Ration before Tripf.
It is ieported here, that a French frigate, after main,
taming a furious conteft with an Englifh frigate, in
which the was almolt totally difmaiied, fucceedell
in boarding the enemy, and getting PtiffefLon of her
after a dreadful carnage.
BRUSSILS, Auct. is generally expelled here,
that when the Come Coeur'. pays a vifit in the att.
tumn to the departments on the left bank of the Rhine,
and vitae the lea coafts, as well as the troops deßined
to compofe the grand army, he will take up his ref:-
denee in this city, that he may be on the (pot, to
direfi in perfon the military preparations making
againft England.
COPENNAOIN, Avo. 2.—A, letter front Gibraltar,
dated'June 30, flares, that two Danifh (hips the Em,
manuel, Captain RYLAND, and the Vifes-Steen, Cap
lain Naas, which the Englifh had taken and carried
into that port, have been releafed on a remonfiranc,
made by the Danish Conful. It is hoped, in confe•
quence of the Refit orders ifued by Lieutenant Ge-
neral Timor, the Lieutenant Governor, to all the
Englifh privateers cruising in that neighbourhood,
that neutral (hips will in future be fate from their
infillts and vexations.

logne Bay, and commenced a heavy fire of fhot and
(hells, which was returned from the fhore, and we
underhand that confiderable damage has been done
to the Lower Town and Mole. By information from
Calais we are informed, that a number of lives were
/oft : it is find that fixteen perfons were deflroyed in
one houfe, and that great alarm prevails on the whole
eoaft for fear of a firnilar vifit. On Monday night
the boats of the lustoaractra frigate, and the PER-
NIUE and Theriot bombs, under the command of
Capt. hteLitais, of the Nessus, were fent to dearoy
fame new works congrofted for the defence of the
