LONDON, June 5.
Dispatches were yeaerday received a. the
Admiralty from Lord Keith. They relate 70
the increafed preparations of the enemy at Bou-
logne, and mention the capture of fone fmall
ve!lels from Flufhing. Letters from on board
our blockading fquadron, fcte that the enemy's
toti!la is every day in motion, and that it has of
late been reinforced from other ports in the
Channel. An officer writes, under the date of
Friday lsf, as follews:-
"From all the ohfervations am able to make,
and fron, the information collect, am fully
periuaded the enemy ierioufly intend to make an
attempt At coming out"
Orders have been given for very itrong
iquadron to watch the motions of the Rochefort
fleet: and that fome fat failing vefIels f,al be
tationed TO give the earlieft notice of their put
ting to Tea again, which government have rea-
Ion to believe they will icon attempt to do.

The collecting of ftrong fleet in the Downs,
which we mentioned yeiterday, is probably in
consequence of fome information received ref
pecting the movements of the enemy on the
French coat; FOR even the fhps which compo-
fed the North Sea fquadron, which had come
into Yarmouth few days ago, have been
ordered to the Downs; and we find by our Port
letters that ome of them have actually failed for
that Ration.
II is reported that Bonaparte has arrived at
Bouloene, having reached that port on Sunday
la't. It'll faid he returned to Paris on the 3oth
ult where he only ffad that and the following
day. We know not on what authority this Rate
ment refs, but certain it is that there has been
a great buftle at Boulogne for above week
pait, as Vt preparations were making for fome
more than ordinary location: and firing was
heard along the French coat, during A great
part of Sunday; on which day fifty gun boats,
twenty luggers, and feveral Hoops, were obfery-
ed on the outfide of Boulogne pier
The prevailing opinion at the prefent m ~. emf
retpefting the combined fleets, is, that one part
of them is defined to take pofIefiion ofthe Cape
Of Good Hope, and the other to frcure the Bra
zis; the former having been coded to France.
and the latter promied TO Spain. Should they
fucceed in fuch deiisu, and we fee nothing at
preient that can politely prevent them, it will
be productive of incalculable difafters TO our
India trade. The enemy po1ened of the Cape
of Good Hope on one fide, and Of the Brazis
on the other, would form chain which could
not be broken through at any time but by We
~ troDg convoy, which ought to be employed
on more active iervices. Deprived of the re-
iources OF the Brazs, Portugal muft fink by
natural death into the devouring Jaws of the
King of Terrors, Bonaparte, who would proba-
bly, lnll the fears, aud fan the hopes of Spain
with the poiieliion of that devoted fate, until
he fonnd an opportunity of adding the king
dons of Hefperra to that of Italy.
This morning fomc difpnches, taken on
board SpaDilh packet by the Eolus priyateer,
of Gnernfey, were brought TO the Secretary o.
States Off < by The Commander of the IEons.
They were thown overheard by the Spaniards,
but recovered by the excrtions of the people he
