Lord NiLsos is to have the eniumand of the Cork Fleet--Sir SIDNEY SNIT§ is to be fecotsd in com: viand. It is not very difficult, from this arrange ment, to divine whither that Expedition is deffined. There is a arong report, that Lord Steacii bu joined the prefent Adminiaration, and thatbis Lord. fhip is to be placed at the head of the Adaiiralty: Hi was this day at the Admiralty bidce, in enniiiit4 with Lord NELSON.

If we confideted the reptirts in the Paris Journals as tending to pinVe any thing, we would fay, the more confidently they (peak of the event as at. hand, the more certain we mat be tliat it will not take place. Invafion may be atterni;:ol, but BONAPARTE feems to have a different polity. He has now created a formidable fleet. With that he means to (Ural and divide our maritime' firength; but fill he will talk of invafion, for it fur rifht:, an excellent pretext for maintaining a large which he may match when and where he plcafes, in the event of a continental war.
