BLOCKADING StUADRONS.

MT !REST. 1117 T. IS.

If flips only were neceffary, the enemy might pro-
bably
venture out—they have certainly so fail of the
line (three of which are three deckers) five frigates,
and one corvette, apparently ready for lea ; theta are
full of foldiery : but all our accounts from deferrers,
and fifhing veffels, corroborating our own obfervations,
convince us that they have very few feamen on board.
Scarcely a day i.afres but lonic of our frigates ((retch
through Bertheaume and Camaret Bays, nearly to
the mouth of the middle harbour, and frequently
without receiving a fhot from their batteries: their
yards, we learn, are almolt deflitute of naval (lore.:
the troops have been long without pay, and a general
fpirit of difaffeEtion runs through the army in this
department. From all there circumflatices, our hopes
of getting along;-fide of them diminith daily.—We
have juft learnt from an American vale!, that French
fignal Officers have been received on board all the
Spanilh (hips of war at Ferrol, fo that we do not def-
pair of a brunt with the Dons.

SANDGATE, SEPT. 21.

We ate again relieved from all apprehenfion from
the enemy putting to lea, by the Petting in cf a firong
weflerly wind—a complete and infurmountable bar-
rier, independent of that one prefented to them in a
large fleet now at Dungenefs, who appear like a fo-
refl. Their number has been greatly iucreafed within
this f/ort time. The coat from Dungenefs to the
Downs is now covered with our flips: a truly pleat-
ing tight at this moment.

DEAL, SEPT. 21.

Arrived l'lmmourrazrrs, CHAMPION, and the Et:-
ItT•LUS frigates; SPEEDY, HERMES, EUGENIE, DART,
and the Humes' !loops of war; DIVAITATION and

the French CoaQ into the Downs, where they remain

Lord and Lady Oxroao and Family, after two
years tour on the Continent, have arrived at their feat
at Eyewood, Hereford(hire.

Miniflers have made a remonflrance to the French
Government cn the filbjeft of detaining Captain
FLINDERS, of the Invelligator fl:,op of war, at the
Me of France, to which no reply has as yet been re-
ceived.

Sir HOM a POPHAM embarked on Thurfday on board
a cutter at Dover, and immediately failed for the
French emit. His objea was conceived to be either
to reconnoitre the harbour of Boulogne, or to fupet.
intend fome experiments in the fyftem of telegraphic
nolturnal and diurnal lignals.
A Gentleman who arrived lately from the flares
of jeriey and Guernfey informs us, that the prepara-
tions in both iflands to recei►e an invading enemy are
formidable—every point being fortitied in the flrongeft
manner, and rendered almoft impregnable from the
darnels of the works. The troops are in a high
Hate of difcipline, owing to the excellent difpolitions
of their Commander, General JoHN Dor Ls.

Capt. Dukes is appointed Commiffioner of the
Navy at Jamaica, in the room of Commiffioner
Litio, promoted to the rank of Reat AJmiral.
The following is A literal copy of a letter written by
an honeft tar from on board one of our blockading
lquadrons :
" War Bef —As I kno you will he ankChions to here how we

Letters of a very recent date from Bilboa, give the
follow ing account nftlie canfe of the late ditturnauces:
" As the Corregidor of Bilboa was making his an-
nual round, for the pormfe of,alting down the names
of thole perfon. who were liable to be enrolled in the
Militia of that country, he was feized by tome of the
populace, and put under elutes. The military force
was called out, but the 1-Idiers proving unequal to
refill the torrent of popular indignation, they were
all cut to pieces, after ineffeaual eff 4:6 to releate
