BOSTON, August 27.

In addition to the Foreign Intelligence, we can briefly add—That Paris continued in great ferment—That the King dared not appear in public—That vast numbers were daily leaving France—That the change in the French administration, as proceeding solely from the King, was deemed the most important event that could ever have taken place; the issue is expected to be either a counter-revolution, or the assassination of the King—That the King of Hungary was not dead, but was very ill;—and that the British government had equipped for sea a fleet of observation, under Lord Hood.

We are sorry to inform the public, that the Raft Ship, which sailed from this port, was on Thursday last week quitted at sea, being full of water. The crew took to their boats, and four of them arrived here in a schooner from Liverpool, yesterday.
