No Ids than five Mails are now due from Ham-
burgh, which has excited fome anxiety among Corn.
mercial men. The route by Tonningen is however
fo circuitous, that the delay need excite no furprize.
The wind has been.fair for thefe two days paR, and
fome of them may now be hourly expeCted to arrive.

We underaand that Mr. LINoo, who had the FIRST
Cortstm's exprefs permit Eon to repair to Paris to ar-
range the bills drawn by the Commander in Chicf
in St. Domingo upon the French Gosernment, was
one of the palrengers on board the Dann veffel
which was refufed admifflon into Calais a few days
ago, as we Rated yefterday. The Spanith Melrenger
and the French Commiffary for the exchange of pri-
foners were alfo on board. The refufal to permit
Inch perfons to land at Calais, Thews the Rrienefs
with which the orders are executed for excluding
from certain French ports all veffels which have
touched at England. This is probably with the in-
tention of concealing the real nature and extent of
the preparations now making in the ports of the Chan-
nel for the invafion of this Country.

We are forry to find, by letters received this
morning from Dover, that news has been received
there of 26 of the French gun-boats having efcaped
out of Boulogne, when the want of moon-light pre-
vented our gun-boats from being able to perceive
their intention. They got fate into Calais, whither
Come of our cruizers have gone to watch them. It
is fuppofed they will, when they can get an opportu-
nity, proceed thence to Dunkirk.—Calais being one
of the French gun-boat fkulking holes, is is no won-
der that veffels from our ports ihonld be refuted ad-
milßon there.

It mull give fatisfaelion to every friend of his coun-
try to obferve that, notwirhftanding the great prepa-
rations which have been made to repel a malignant
enemy, fhould he dare to carry his threats of invafion
into execution, the Government, far from encourag-
ing a dangerous fpirit of fell: fecurity, continues to
adopt every precaution which prudence and forefight
can devife to prevent the poftibility of a furprize.
The mouths of all our navigable rivers will Coon
be in Cuch a nate, as to defy the entrance of any
force however formidable, and the fame will be the
cafe with even our moll trifling harbours. The Sea
Fenciblcs will render the molt effential Cervices to
their country in there arrangements ; and the Go-
vernment is now bufy in providing them with the
proper means.

For fame days pan, the Mailer Boat-builder of the
Chatham. Dock Yard, has been out procuring boats
capable of mounting carronades. All the lighters
and other craft at that yard, proper for the purpofe,
have been ordered to be fitted out ; and fuch of them
as are cf fufficient burden are to carry long pieces
befides the carronades.—Similar meafures are follow.
ing in other quarters.
A brigade of Artillery, confining of fix field pieces,
and a proportionate number of waggons, has been at
Chatham for fome days, which will, it is thougbt,
be attached to an expedition now preparing.

.
The SHANNON is undocked, and is ordered for
Channel fervice. •

The LEOPARD is alto ordered out. Captain Ct. w.
NINGHAM is expeSed to commiflion her.
Yeflcrday morning the Dcal flotilla was reviewed
by the Right Hun. WPI. Parr, acc?panied by Lord
MAHON, General Nam, and tome other perfons
of diflinetion. It cunfifts of 34 fine boats, under the
command of Captains Esstiacrom and FASIAN, and
Superintendant Mr. THOMAS CAIRNEY, one of the
Wardens of the Deal pilots ; each boat carrying an
eighteen or twelve pounder cart onade. The boats
went afloat at nine o'clock in the morning, formed
a line with great addrefs, fired fit rounds, and went
through the u::17.1 evolutions in a f.ac Ryle. The
novel fccne performed by the Deal bo amen, as brave
and loyal a let of fcamen as any in his Majefly's do-
minions, gave great fatisfaaion to thoufands of peo-
ple collcacd on the beach.
