Nothing farther has tranfpi►ed refpeOing the move-
ments at Boulogne. A good deal of firing was
heard on Thurfday, but the particulars are not yet
known. Many well-informed people believe, that if
the invaGon be not now attempted it never will. We
are not of that opinion—We think the attempt will be
made—but, in fpite of the a ffertions expreffed byfome
of our contemporaries, that a few days will witnefs the
effort, we are of opinion, the period is not yet at.
rived. It is well, however, to be prepared—nor fhottld
the paling away of the prefent or any future alarm,
be fuffered to leffen our vigilance. It appears by va-
rious articles in the French journals, that B
is expeBed to pay a •ifit to Stra(burgh, where pre•
partitions ire aOually making for his reception. If
this be not a falfe rumour propagated With a view to
miflead, the expedition is not yet ready to fail. When
it is ready, that objea alone will occupy his whole
octal on. The demtmfirations on the part of the
enemy, for the Lft four days have, however, been
of Co decided a nature, that Government has found
it neceffary to confiderably re-inforce our fquadron.
The lateli direa intelligence from the fquadron on
the French coat, has been brought by the General
Cuote, which arrived on Thurfday in the Downs
from Boulogne. She left three of our frigates, and
all the lighter veffels engaged, in the words of our
letter, " with a holt of the enemy's flotilla." Not
one veffel of the enemy, which was not difabled, had
returned into port. The General Coote returned
merely for provifions, and when fupplied, fet fail di.
rally for her poll. She was followed by the ADAMANT,
of fifty guns, and all the difpefable force in the
Downs. A great number of (mall craft, to match
thofe of the enemy, are now in readinefs, and we are
happy to add, that a number of ifre Jilifra will form a
part of the next expedition. The latter, without any
probable loft of men, will give to the enemy a lelfon
not eafily to be forgotten.

From the Paris Journals which reached us yefter-
day, we have given tome farther meads in the pre-
ceding column. The fubjoined articles are alto
worthy of A Mice. The one refpeiling Count HAUG-
wirz, though dated from Hamburgh, is evidently of
the fame manufaanre as the article which we gave
yetlerday from the liconitettr, rcfpaling the Kiwo of
Swaim. It is publifhed fulely with a view to remove
from the minds of the French, all ideas that the
change in the Pruffian Cabinet has any connexion
with political circumtlanccs.
FITEISBUICH. JULY 18 —Our fleet, it is aid,
will be formed into two divitions, one of which will
cruize near Bornholm, and the Ather will be Rationed
in the Mediterranean. A d'iamber of commerce has
been eflablithed at the new port of °delta, on the
Black Sea, the commerce of which continually in-
creates. According to the hit 'boas from Georgia,
the epidemic difeale which appeared in that country,
has 101 l a great deal of its malignity, and teems ap-
proaching to its termination.
FlONTrs■s (4' ITALY, JULY 3o.—One of our jour-
nals announces, that tome Ruffian troops have march-
ed from Georgia to take polfeftion of Imiretia, the
ancient Colchis, which has lung been a retreat for
free-hooters. This prosince, ialsich paid tribute to
the Porte, was emancipated from it in 5774, by the
Treaty between the Turks and the Ruffians. By an-
other Treaty, concladcci in 1783, it was placed un-
der the proteaion of Ruflia. This country is poor,
and the ti ibure it paid to the Grand Seignior coafted
only of 8o children of both fetes.
H•xt ri cry:l4, Atro. 4. —One of the Berlin Gazettes
contains the tell•rwing article What has been
before faid in this journal in regard to Count de
Ilaucwir z requires Come explanation: His Excel-
lency having been twelve years abtent from his et-
tales in Silefta, found that they had been managed in
a manner highly prejudicial to his interefts, and there-
fore folicited the King to grant him leave of abfcnce
fu two years. His Nl:jelly, cr.nlidering the nu-
merous fervi:::s performed by this enlightened pa
t;iot, and the pru3cncc with which he has concluded
the department of foreign afairs duting a very cri-
tical rerind, thou,ht himfell obliged not to refute
entirely his demand. His Excellency will repair
about the middie of this month tri t but Lo-
wards winter he will return hither and tefide alter-
inately at Berlin and in Silefia. The Miniftcr of State,
Baron de llar !ERG, will, during his &Vence, take

charge c f the portfolio of foreign affairs.".—Mcnitrur,

HAMtURCH, Av c. tg.—Letterr from Copenha- I
gen bring an account of the arrival of a KLAGIII fleet
before Bornholm, confining, as come fay, of nine flips
of the line and feveral frigates, amounting in the
whole to fifteen fail. Three fhips of the line and
three frigates are deflined for the Mediterranean, and
it is espefled that another divifion will loon anchor
before the Dan& capital. It is reported that thefe
flaps will join the former ones, and another fquadron
arrive from Cronftadt. This caufes feveral conjec.
tures under the prefent circumflances, though the
German papers pretend that lately the Emperor was
prefent at a Grand Council of State at St. Peterfburgh,
in which it was decided not to enter into a new war.
—Hasse Cosratst, Avg. as.
HASIZORG u. ALIO. 1 new commercial MVO-
lotion fecms to threaten the North of Europe, and to
ruin in part the trade carried on by the merchants in
the principal ports of the Baltic. This revolution
will be entirely to the advantige of Ruffia, and in
the following manner :—The Emperor Ai.Exatiosa
has affigned funds to feveral men of enterprise, well
acquainted with commerce, in order that they may
eftablah themfelves in the ports of the focthern dif-
tries of Ruffia, and particularly in the Crimea. Se-
veral of them have been fettled for fome years at
°della, and we are informed, that all their fpeculations
have not only fucceeded, but they have been able to
maintain commercial relations Co continued, that the
whole country has already derived great benefit from
them. A great many (hips, Englifh,SpaniftOtalian,
Auftrian, and even French, repair to the ports of the
Crimea, and the owners of them make confiderable
purchafes of corn, honey, wax, wool, and other arti•
cles, with which that country abounds. This com-
merce mull naturally extend more and more, for all
the predations of the fouthern part of Ruffia can be
tranfported with the greateft facility on the Dnieper,
the Dueller, and the Don, to the Black Sea, and to
the ports of the Crimea, where the Ruffian merchants'
will in future be certain of finding a favourable op-
portunity to difpofe of their merchandise for ready
money. The profit which Ruffia gains by its trade in
the condi of a year is eftimated at feveral millions of
rix dollars. There advantages mutt inireafe every
year by this new branch of commerce, in proportion
as the conne.tion of the merchants, and agents of
Odeffa and the other ports of the Crimea, are extended.
' But it prefents a difmal prafpeit to the merchants of
Koningfberg , Dantzic, Eibing, and other ports in
the Baltic. Hitherto they have been accunomed to
coiled in their warehoufes all the productions of
Ruffia, which are commonly exported there ; thefe
they afterwards fold for a great profit to the Englifh,
French, Dutch, and the other nations in the Sou-
thern andWeftern parts of Europe This branch of
commerce, and that of corn in particular, brought
from thefouthern parts of Ruftia, formed the principal
aka of their trade. At prefent thefe productions
may be procured much miter, and at a cheaper rate
from the ports of the Crimea. The great fpeculators
of Europe will, no doubt, take advantage of this new
channel. The effect of thefe changes, which will have
a great influence on the commercial relations of our
Merchants, begins already to be felt in the ports of
the Baltic.
