It is added, that in the event of a re. filial on the part of our Government, he has receiv. ed inffroaions to demand the necefrary paports to enable him to return home with all potEble expedi. tion. Such is the abjea and deplorable flue to which, under the domination of the Gallic Tyrant, the petty • States of the Continent are now reduced ! A Gentleman who left Dieppe on board an Ame rican Ilsip homeward bound on the 13th init. landed on the costa of Dorfet from an open boat on Monday, and arrived in Town on Thurfday, Rates, that the army encamped along the coaft of Picardy have be gun to manifeft great difcontent at the delay which has tal.en place refpedling the invafion of this cowl try, which they have been allured three feveral times in the courfe of fix months would certainly be put in execution at a given period. The middle of Novem ber was the &ft time mentioned, the laft week of January the fecond, and the third the middle of March ; fince which the aaivity of the preparations has confiderably relaxed, except in what regards the eshange of troops, about twenty battalions of whom, our informant affures us, were ordered into the inte rior doting the period of his flay on the coati, which was about a fortnight. In regard to the rumours of infurrellions, &c. in Paris, he fays they arrive daily; and though perhaps altogether unfounded, they are generally confidered as firongly expreflive of the wifhes of the people, which are every where expli citly in favour of a peace with England. We have received Dutch papers to the t.sth intl. from which we have given fame extraCts, under the title ifffairs of Switzerland. It appears that the+Swifs have not only broken out into open incurreetion againft their oppreffors, but have aflually had an engagement with fame troops tent againfi them, which occafioned the neceflity of reinforcements to the latter. By accounts from Egypt, it appears the Mame. Jukes had retired to Upper Egypt, and commenced their hoßile operations agairal the Turks ; they had cut off the fupplies from Upper Egypt, and great apprehenfions were entertained at Cairo of a confe• quent fcarcity. The Arnaut troops in the fervice of MAN MET, Pacha of that capital, had rebelled, and obliged the Pacha to fly to Damietta , where the latt intelligence reprefented him en have been waiting the receipt of a reinforcement of troops, and a fupply of money from the Porte. It was reported that the CAPTAIN PACMA would be fent to his affilance, fnr the re-ellablilhmeat of his authority in Cairo. TA NI, PACNA, a Pacha of Two Tails, who commanded at Geza, and is himfelf an Arnaut, headed the re volted troops, and was completely in pnffeffion of the whole city. where, it was fuppofed, that he would be able to maintain his ground. The Euro. peso inhabitants at Cairo had been affured of protec tion in perfon and property. Yeflerday the LORD CHANCILLOR and Mr. AD DINGTOR had audiences of MS MAJISTY.

FLOTILLA OFF BOULOGNE. Mat.. APRIL 20.-12114WORTALITI arrived in the Downs yefterday afternoon with the (lone fhips,which gives us reafon to fuppofe, that the idea of finking them is totally relinquifhed. It has indeed, been faid, that they are going to Sherrnefs. The weather is now fine, but exceedingly cold for this time of the year. DUNGENESS, APRIL 17.—We left this anchorage for the fecond time on the 12th inll. for Boologne, with the fione-fhips and their ufual efcort ; on the evening of the fame day we anchored with an E.N.E. gale off Ambleteufe, to prevent being driven from the coati by the ebb tide. We were here informed. that there were only fix gun-boats in the road. The HARPY, Aacisza, LOCUST, and BLOODHOUND, were ordered, with additional hands, on board the gun brigs, to run them nearly alongfide, in order to de. (troy them ; and loon after the three block (hips, at tended by the Couwrass OF ELGIN, Acrtvo, and ADMIRAL MITCHEL, were to go in for the purpofe of being funk. Every thing being thus arranged, the whole expedition were in motion at t t, agreeably to fignal; but the gale, even while the clouds teemed to threaten a continuance of it, loon fubfided into a calm ; and as the flood was then making ftrong, the annulling fignal was thrown out, and the expedition again anchored at so minutes pall twelve. Very Icon after a ftrong breeze came on from the North Eaft, and next day, in the &Rant and imperfea view we had, we counted in the road nine large brigs, one fchoorer, and 33 other gun-boats, which could have gOt out only by the tide, by which we approached the coaft. On Sunday 14th, Lieut. DICKINSON, ac companied by Meffrs. ETCHES and MUMFORD, region. noitred them, and counted moored on the outfide, with fprings at Ambleteufe, t 4 lugger', at Vimereux 21, and at Boulogne, extending to the extreme of Portay, 31 brigs, one pram, tuggers, three fchoo ners, a ketches and Hoops. Laft night the tides turn ing out tco late in the morning, and the enemy being Rill outfide, our ftone-veffels cut from their anchors, and arrived here, where they are now riding out a hard gale at North Eaft with but one anchor.— What will be the refult, I do not know ; but it is the general opinion of the bell-informed Offi cers, that the enterprize will not fucceed. Thole who planned this expedition were not aware of the flrength of the place, and the difficulty of placing unwieldy flips near the Dykerwork in the night-time, without being annoyed ; but admit ting there were no gun boats to oppofe them, the batteries on the pier -heads, and the guns planted on the very fpot which they mull approach, would tear them to pieces. The Lords of the Admiralty have given notice, that Seamen holding Sea Fencibles Certificates, de teeted in als of (snuggling, will be delivered over to the Imprefs officers. Lan Saturday an order was received at Newport, in the Ille of Wight, for permit inn for the ad Batt*. lion of the oth Regiment, compofed of Referve men, to Volunteer for general fervice; when almnfl the whole Battalion volunteered within twelve hours The following yards have been hired into Govern ment fervice, and Officers appointed to the com mand, viz.

We had but two men wounded very flightly. Accounts were yefierday received at LLOYD'S Coffee Houle, of the capture of a valuable London veil - el, on the coaß of Africa, by a fquadron of five French fhir, which have now the entire dominion of thole feas, and which are likely to commit im menfe depredations on our trade.

A oral:ice prevails among fmugglers, of the mon mitchievous tendency at this ctifis—that of blazing nti fmuggling vac's by fires, from the coaß, where Revenue officers happen to fix themfel%es for the purpole of making I:rizures, which if mißaken, by the perfon at a beacon, for an alurm that an enemy i s approaching, might throw the whole kingdom into conftilion.

Such are nearly the contents of a note, of which copies have been prefented by the Diplomatic Agents of his Swedifh Majefly at all the Courts, on the Con firmal. FORCEM—lnformation was lately given to the Special Con(tables, and a houfe in Spear-ftreet, Man cheller, was fearched, in which there were found cop per plates, a prefs to tirike off notes, paper and other materials for carrying on this nefarious hammers.— Two men were ap➢rehended on the charge of for gory, who are now in cullodyL TTi►awwtwc.—leferday Thomas Con(table, a broth maker, of Tottenham Court-road, was brought before the Magiffiates at Marlborough it:cet, on a charge of atfault and mifdemeanour in the falfe Ins. prifonment of his apprentice, George Henry Gate ker.

On Tuefday the loth intl. his matter took him out to get tome wood for his bufinefs, and to Cat y it home. as he thought. He went to get the wood ; the mat ter then took him to Tower Hill, where he law two men who wanted to (peak to him. He fill - petted their intentions, and walked on GR. The mailer called after him, laying, " what was he afraid of r The lad flopped in obedience to his mailer. The men came up, and laid, " Is not your name Care ker ?—we have been waiting for you all the morn ing." The lad allowed this was his name ; the mat ter took the bundle from him and walked away. The men then took him to a rendezvous h00f.% and from thence he was conveyed to the tender. Tae next day he was examined before the Regulating Captain, en tered as a volunteer, and fent in a receiving Ship down the River. Some perfon commilerated the fituatior► of the lad, and conveyed a letter trom him to his mother.

The prifoner endeavoured to jollity his con-tuft by an affertion of the boy's ill conduct, And a declara tion that he thought a few hones would cool him.— The Magihrate, however, told him, that if the boy eniffizhaved, it was his duty to have applied to him. or fume other Magillrate, who would have punithed him as the cafe might warrant.
