The Counfellors of State Ta ziLua an, nem cu i, and LAMONT were introduced. The Counfellor of State Ta ai s HARD, paffed many compliments on the falutary nature of their confti tution, as containing in itfelf, without the ezercife of violence. every poffible means of amelioration, and ak b onfilling of certain parts that operated mutually as checks and correaivcs to each other ; he Rated, that the Senate had deliberated in its wifdom, and that the Government, anxious to preferve that happy unanimity atat prevailed am-mg the Conßituted Au. thorities, was eager to communicate to them the re. fult of the Senate's deliberations; that no change had been introduced into the manner in which laws were to be made; that it was the privilege of the Legifla titre body to difcufs the laws that were propolcd, and tojudge between thepropofer and oppofer of any law; always calm and deliberate, it would Rill continue to prepare the declaration of the national will, of which It was the impartial and the faithful organ ; that no• thing was negleaed that could render die opening of the Sittinof the Legiflative Body more brilliant and folemn. That the opening of thole S:ffions would be made by the FtrfiConful in perfon, accompanied by a certain number of Members of the Senate; that all branches of the Legiflature would be moft cordially linked, and that the Tribunes, whom the Conftitu tins hart entrafted with the difcuffion of the laws, and that they, the Counfellors of State, whofe duty it was to prepare them, were nearly connetted by their refpeeive funEtions ' and Rill more daftly united by their fentiments.

At the moment when faith, vajefily violated by the enemy, has given to Govern boat an opportunity of elemontirating that its mode :is equal to Its flrength,the only fpecies of glory perhaps was wanting to it, when the unanimous Ira oldie French people called for vengeance on the hauls of their perjured enemies, when, from all quar ten was baud the animating ery-4 , Frenchmen, the joiverfe tepees from your courage and your ezer that the ocean fhould be free," is it not the te rl of wifdom, and a duty which juftice impofes, 0 deprive of the hope of a great national reward • heroes who are going to fignalize themfelves for lianbippinefs of mankind and the glory of the French Itealei Citizen Tribunes, the new Senatus Coda. bpmeellipletesthe organization of one of the branches 01 . the national reprefentation. and is an advantage which Is already felt.

He (urprifed them, killed twenty men, made ten prifoners, who mete delivered over to the Tribunal at Angers, and the remainder were difperfed. On our part, we had one man killed and two wounded. When the Mayor of Sables heard of this engage. Dent, to prevent the difaffelled and the adherents of the rebels or their chiefs frnm concealing themfelves in the town of Sables, and to procure information, provifwas, or ammunition, to keep up the rebellion, he enured a Proclamation to be publifheel, which or• den every perfon of the country, who arrives at Sables, to legitimate bimfelf before him immediately. All approved perfons fhall obtain a card of fecurity, sad the others are to be arreffed as fufpetted.

There is reafon there. fore to think that we may loon hear of the capture of tome more of the enemy's (mall craft. We are well affured that the officers employed to watch the motions of the Boulogne armament will lofe no op. portunity of annoying the enemy wherever they may appear, and of cliff:once:ling their operations, if pof fible. The proofs they have already given of their zeal, vigilance, and b y, infpire us with the moll confident hopes of their fuccefs in whatever enter prifes they may undertake. A gentleman who tall week made his efcape from France, Pays, the utmoft diforder and diffatisfaition prevail amongft the troops at Boulogne, and that up. wards of twenty foldiers for mutiny and defertion have been lhot within the lift fortnight ; and others for the like offences' are placed pn board a bark, under the guns of the batteries, where they can be inftantly de firoyed, on the kali appearance of mutiny. He alto Rates refpeding the troops there, a fat fimilar to what we mentioned yefterday of the Dutch troops.— A great number of them are on board the boats, deßined for the invafion of this country, and are not fuffered to go on there: they are not fo linguine in their expeaations of a fuccefsful enterprise as they formerly were. The boats have their provifions brought them from the fkore, and the beds of the men confia of a certain quantity of thaw, which, with a tarpaulin covering to the deck, proteas them from inclement weather. All this kerns rather to countenance the opinion that before long Come attempt will be made to in vade us. Indeed notwithftanding the reports of the expedition againf this country being given up, which have Co much abounded here of late, there is nothing in the French or German Papers, to countenance that idea. La(t night we received the Monirears that were wanting to complete our reties. From thee we find that the official men in France (peak of the attempt of invafion in the moll con. fident terms—Tallimmus, Counfellor of State, in a fpeeek from the Tribunate, ufes very ftrong language on this fubjee. That nothing has yet been attempted ;smatter of furpri ze, but if Bona aaaaa , after Co much parade of preparation, after (o many vifits to the Coakftiall attempt nothing, he Inuit appear ridiculous to all Europe. We have already announced that he left Paris for the coati on the Both ultimo. The no tice in the Voviteur that he was to return in a few days, may be intended as a blind, and his naves may poffibly be forced to attempt the invafion before he quit the coati. The French papers confirm the reports that had reached us of a ire& infurreftion having taken place in La Vendee. Letters from Hamborgh Bate, that accounts had been received there from Peterfburgh, of the t 3th nit. announcing that the Emperor ALEXANDa IL had rent Baron GI PAWN to Hanover, with difpatches, which were fail to be addrcifed to the States, and to contain the farther aflurances of his Imperial Majefly's me. diction to obtain the ultimate evacuation of the Eleaorat e. We fubj,,in fcme other letters, received by the Mails of yefierday. Kilroy re, Dac. ry.—Yeßerday arrived Baron Gum as esprefs from St. Peterfburgh. The &lank money is brought back and given up to the States. The repeated reports of a total evacuation of the country by the French are premature, occafioned probably by fume new arrangements. Dlr. s 7 city has been promifed fpeedy re lief from a part of the burden of quartering the French garrifon, which dill amounts to 4000 men. On Friday eighty empty ammunition waggons went to Nienburg to carry away the powder and odic.* ammunkir,n from that piece. It is laid that the French government has required an ex.ret rQi mate of all the espences occafinned to the EleE!orate by the renelt occupation from the beginning to the tR Nivafe, (December as). HAMIURGII. Dec. 3o.—The Ruffian troops elem. bled on the frontiers of Poland, which have been reinforced by fume corps from Livonia amount to soo,ooo men; their deflination is nut yet known.— The fear of luring the Morca, has induced the Turkifh government to unite a great fleet with a (mall Bog h& fquadron ; amounting both together to 27 fail.

Bas wars, Dm z4.—We know with certainty that no Englifh frigate has been loft at the Mouth of the Wefer. The vefel which experienced this misfortune, was an Englifh cutter of t.. guns, called the Ayes cat, commanded by Captain SWILL : (he was loft at the mouth of that river on the sth inft. The whole of the crew, conGtling of feventy perfons, were fared, and arrived in two Oldenburg units at Grutfyhl, in Eaft Fraefland. The misfortune which happened to this trail, was owing to the ignorance or negligence of the pilot. Yefierday morning Sir E. Mesas fort an extra& of a letter to Lloyd's for the information of the Un derwriters and Merchants. It is dated the Both of Odober, from Gibraltar, and communicates the pleating intelligence of the fate arrival there of the whole of the large fleet from England, under convoy of the EXCILLINT, of 74 guns, Captain SOTOIRON, with the exception of the Flora, Captain Nstsoa, which was captured jut as the was entering the bay, being feven or eight hours fail a-head of the convoy. —Our Readers may recollect, that the above intelli gence appeared in the Sraa fo far back as Dec. 16.

Yefterday a Court of Direftors was held at the EMI India Houfe. when Captain RNOIII, of the SIR W. Benst.vv, took leave, previous to departing for Ma deira, Madras, and Bengal.

On that day about fizty of the enemy's veffels were out fide the harbour; bot they Sewed no inclination to go beyond the proteaion afforded them by their batteries. A falute was fired at Boulogne about one o'clock, which was fuppored to be in confequence of the arrival of the Flair Consur.. DUBLIN. JAN. 7.

On Monday, at midnight, our town was throws; into a great buftle by the arrival of an exprefs from Royal Highnefs the Duke of Curt , to Colonel WOOO, to put all the forces in his dilirift immediately under arms. Proper means to erred it were inilantly taken—bugles founded the alarm, an 4 drums beat to arms. At that dead hour all was OIA the alert. In one hour, from the arrival of the ex prefs, the whole Volunteer force in the town, confift ing of 320 Infantry, too Cavalry, 230 Sea Fencibles, betides ayo Porta Rangers (then quartered on the town), appea►ed dreffed and accou►red, at their re fpettive parades. Loyal fungi and rejoicings re echoed through the Meets, in conferprence of the fpeedy profpett of meeting our daring foe, who was then thought to be near at hand. Three cheers were given, and all were about to march ; when, lo I another exprefs arrived of a falfe alarm ! Whether we confider this fudden order fee arming as arifing from an apprehenfion that the enemy was on the coall, or a raft e perre, to put the celerity and difpofition of the Volunteers to the tell. we cannot contemplate its effeas but with the molt grAtifyinf Litisfadion. The zeal, the willingneth the prompti tude of our Volunteers are new proved, and, we doubt not, had there been an opportunity of ditplay ing their intrepidity and refoluuon, they would have fully anfweted the ezpceation of the public. The neighbouring villages loon caught the alarm, and by four o'clock in the morning die following Volunteer Corps were under arms :—Eling, Red bridge, Millbrook. North and South Stunehatn, Hound, Hamble, Burfiedon, and the Itchen Ferry, making, in the whole, upwards of 24c0 men. Yellerday an order came from the Duke of Cu a- AAAAA XD to apprehend three f.r fear Frenchmen, upon the iftformati..n being crnveycd to him that they were very bufy 111 ibn) Ing up gun-powder, bal lets, and bullet-m• olds. They, however, have yet cfcaped dem:alms, but as officers are now in puristic of them, we hope loon to hcar of their being taken.
