At eleven o’clock, the wind having set

with the three praams la Ville de Cam

LONDON, Ang-4 26.
The dispatches brought lad Friday by !
Mr. Elsworth, the n. fferiger, are now I
underltccd to be of the l.ighcft itnpor- j
tance. —They are Rated to contain not j
only the ratification of the treaty between !
this country and the emperor Altxan-!
der, but r.n account of the demand by
Aufiria of the latter for assistance, and
the determination of the court of Peters,
burgh to march a confiderabie army into
the hereditary dominions, to co-operate
against France. Jt is even mentioned
,;n private letters, that 60.00:0 Ruljian
| troop? had, on the 3C‘h tilt, commenced
j their ma.ch rcr Bruoii, she fame -
J counts add, that his Prufiian Maj.-fly
jhaa declared li s unalterable rsfolution to
1 adhere to his favorite system cf neutrali
ty, and that llnffia and Austria are r.ct
without hopesbf prevailing upon him
ultimately to join their confederacy. a
gaii:(l Bonapake. In theft ftr.tenr.cnts
we cannot butjthink there -is a conii tera
ble degree oij exzggerarion. We not
only doubt thi sd:t:l march of a Ruffian
armiy ; but irt can difeover nothing in
the past coiduft of the king of PruiTla,
or in the general line of politics to
which he is (tracked to warrant the idea
that he will hot take part with Fr-nce
It is, however, very probable, that the
ratification of the tr- aty with Ru. Tia
has been received by government. If
Rufiiu be determined upon carrying into
tlFrCb with vigour and cordiality opera
tions again It France, It is tine (he (haul!
declare hei fdfin l c ec.s've tone ; but
whatever ni2y be tfie conditions of the
treaty, it is not at all likely that they
will be allowed to ttknfoirc until the mee
ting of parliament..
Government was occupied the whole
of iaft week and ts jill new employed in
taking up a great nkmber of transports.
They are probably Intended for the con
veyance of Ruffian troops to the Medi
terranean or to any other point where
their ferviccs rnav b< required ; and we
iearn that a Ruffian squadron, of ten fail
of the line, is fiiortli txpediedto co-opc
rate with us in the Northern leas. The
trar.fports are to rendezvous at the Nore.
The mod afiive fx:iliocs are making
to reinforce our grand fleet, and admiral
Cornwallis will (liorlly have thirty Tail of
the line under his cummand, euclufive of
the twenty difpatchsd with fiir Robert
Calder. Admiral Stirling failed on Sa
turday in the Giory, of c,o guns, from
Plymouth, and five mcie line of battle
were nearly ready tfait from Caw
land bay. At i'art-mou.h the Vi Gory
of too, Bclona, Satn-n, Hero, sod Re
pulse, of 74 guns, will fail in the course
cf a few ifii ff. We understand that
Lord NeHbti v/i’l proceed to Plymouth
to hoifl his (leg on board the San’ Jofef,
of 112 guns. Hia lordfijip is to resume
his command in the Mediterranean, witli
unlimited orders.
The following letter, with which we
were this morning favoured, from an ex
perienced officer belonging to cur squad
ron off Boulogne, contains several inte
refling particulars worthy of notice. It
is dated New Romney, Augull 24.
“ We arrived last evening Irom eff
Boulogne, where every thing remained in
ftatuquo, except that the enemy’s vessels
under Dutch colours formed a junction
with the Boulogne (1 utilla on the 21 it

of battle (hips are ready for sea in thc
Texel, and qco tranfporti, with about
20CO cavalry embarked. About 20,000
troops are also ready near Amsterdam
and its vicinity. 1 really think a fleet,
ere next month is expired, will come
up the channel to give us a little glory,
when, probab'y, the craft in Boulogne
may a tempt an invasion. There are
two or three difficulties however, that

‘ormer’s leaveing the veil’ 1
which the latter refufed ; an.
upon the boatUain persisting in
his purpose, the captain put him
in confinement until the hour of
failing. The lieu en r.c of tlv
Furieufc, a: that moment, came
along fide in his boar, and the
boatswain entered himfelf into
his Majdry’s service. The lieu
tenant went on board of the
Dispatch and after fume alterca
tion, breughe him off ; the rap
rain, however, detained his theft
on the grounds of his being in
debt for two niondis wages, and
other turns, which he had advanc

was laden with bale goods to a
considerable amount, ar.d had a
