Difpatches were yefterday received from Admiral CORNWAL Lls, dated off Ulm, Oanber 1, by which it appears, that the enemy have made no movement there. The crews were in very good health, and in high fpirits. Admiral Sir C. COTTON, in the SAM Jossr, of t t 2 guns, had joined the Beet. As might be espeeted at a crifis like the prefent, every day produces fee& reports tefpeeting the plans of the enemy. To decide on the degree of credit to which they are entitled would be impotfible. Indeed it mutt be obvious to every perfon of the fmallea ob. (creation, that the meafures which may be finally adopted, mita depend fo much on contingencies, that any thing like a correa detail cannot be looked for, re(pc'ling plans which mutt be daily changing with circumftances. It is, however, our duty to lay be. fore the public any thing that carries an air of pro- bability, we had almoft raid poffibility, along with It, refpeeling the threatened invafion, leaving to them to form their own opinion refpelling it. According to private letters of the toth Septem ber, from refpeaable perfons at Paris, BORAPARTI and his military fycopbants, (peak of the invafion and cense, of England, as infallible (inunangnefole) and fettled ; their only apprelienfion is, that this augmentation of French Power and riches will in fpire too great a jealoufy upon the Continent; and Wet Ruffia, Aullria, and Pritffia will interfere, &foes &martyrs bar tine to organize lir (vague): to prevent ibis, a plan is handed aboot in the confular circles, called, 41 THI PARTiTIOII Of TSAI SRI' vssn Emma." in which is attempted to be proved the neceffity of the deflrtielion of Great Britain, for the advantage and quietnefs of the world. This plan contains the propoftd partition of the &id& Colonies and poffeffions ; and the difiribution of its naval force, among(i the different European Powers. It is Paid to be the produaion of Havreatre, im provel by TALLLYR•ND. It repeats theft call ns• Dies and abides againll this nation, which have fo often appeared in the Mosier. The army, or rather armies, spina England, are according to report of the fame letters, organized in the following manner : The right wing is in Hol land and Hanover, under the command of Gene rals VICTOR and Monolog: the centre is in France, and extends from Antwerp to Bayonne, under the chief command of Boit APA are, having under him three Commanders in Chief, Scutt, Lecou Lea, and Attorney ; befides an army of referve ambling at Amiens, under the temporary command of Lieu. tenant General Duane the left wing is in Italy, and commanded by Generals MURAT and CnUVION. Sr. CYR, BIRTMFI, DUMAS, and Asnesoen, are the Chief of the Staff for the centre of the Army of England. It is laid, that whilft one attack Is made by BONAPARTE, SoULT, and VtCTOR, an Eng. land--Moarire is to invade Scotland ; Lscouass 1 to take Jolty and Cuctnfey ; and A UOEREAU to romper lielavd. Fer the latter purpofe, upwards of 3co merchantmen, and 32 privateers, are under requititinn and emliat go at Bourdeaux. There latter, add, that the bruins of the Corfican and his Generals, are made the fubjea of ridicule by 11 Efoaseu, CAR Nor, and all men of talents ; and that they are fit:peeled by the uforper to have fent by tbetethe ex! raels, to all Boot AAAAA I'S Sena tors.

The outline of this plan agrees with all the de tached particulars which have tranipired through the f„ ze ign prints, an ! is firoilar to that of the Campaign again it the Ewvi era in iLo.

Preparations upon fuch an immenfe fcale Rem to indicate that the Fiasr Coast's. is perfectly in wnea in his threats, and ferioufly refolved to at• tempt their execution without delay. Were they li mited to the building of twenty gunboats in one har bour, and of thirty in another ; were even so,oco foldiers encamped upon the oppolite coati; it might be fairly prefumed, that the enemy only fought to draw our attention to that point, while he medi tated an attempt in another quarter. But the mag nitude of the preparations, the maintenance of fuch a force, and the expence of Each preparations, mutt be as burthenfome to France as the means of pro- teeion againti them are to us. They are, confe quently, incompatible with the nature of a military diverfion, and evince, that to exhauti our refources, and to keep us in confiant alarm by empty menace, is not the policy upon which the Fiarr . Catgut. is now aging, though his want of a navy may prevent him from ever executing, or even attempting the AIR projees he has formed. In the mean time we are happy to announce that we have received aecodntb of ANOTHER 801 having bean undertaken with an intention of dettroy ing or impeding the preparations of the enemy, and that we have reafon to believe it has been attended with more fuccefs than any of the former. The fquadron employed on this ferviee was under the command of Captain Owsa, and Fefeamp the place attacked. The French had levee Skips in that harbour, all of which have been totally detroyed, as have alto feveral others that were building there. We are happy to add that we [attained little or no lob. Ina day or two we hope to be able to lay far. ther particulars before the public. Fefcamp is a fee port town in the ci-levant Nor mandy, fix leagues fossils weft of St. Valery, eight from Havre de Grace, and twelve (oath weft from Dieppe. It is fituated in a valley, arid has a cafile which, together with the town, are feparated from the fea by a matt:. The port is between two hills, l and during high tides has more than fizteen feet' water. It is defended by a tower, and by batteries of cannon crated on a platform at the bottom of the high coaft. A few days ago Admiral biowvaaus and General Wmartocx took a furrey of the Needles PaLage, in order to afcertain the molt ♦ulnerable points, as it is conjeanred that Would the enemy efcape the vigi lance of our ernixers, an attempt to land will be made near Stoke's Bay. Admiral bloirraoue was to fhift his flag from the WIMDIIOIII C of 98 guns to the Patiecess ROYAL of the fame force, and the former is under failing orders to proceed to Ly mington, for the purpofe of guarding the Needles. As the Wlliosoa CastLa is commanded by experi enced officers and manned with excellent Ceamen, We is a very fit veifel for fo important a Ration. This day we received letters from Gibraltar, brought over by the Exreatusax frigate, of 44 guns, arrived at Portfmouth. In this veld Et.rs Bar, the principal Mamelute Chief, attended by fours other Mainelakes, has arrived in this country, for the exprefs purpofe of foliciting the interference of this country on their behalf with the Porte. The fervices they rendered to our army, in their glorious and triumphant career in Egypt, is well known to every Officer and foldier who (erred in that country, and, we are confident, the brave Mameluke will not only receive a hearty welcome from thole who fought along with him in expelling the French Ittoadm from Egypt, but be hofpitably entertained by all. We are happy to find, by our letters from Portfmouth, that this gallant flranger was received on !bore in a manner that mull have been highly gratifying to him. He left chefhip under a difcharge of cannon, and was received on landing by the Admiral and Captains of the fleet with every mark of refpe&ful attention. Offices of kindnefs from fuels men in a country fo far from his own, whore prows(' and humanity he had hirafelf witneffed on the plains of the Delta, could not fail to produce in his mind fenfations which will not be eafily effaced;—imprcffions of which none but thole who have kindred fouls can have any conception. We hail the arrival of this chief at finch a moment as the prefent, as portending MCA happy conic. gums to this country. That the Government will pay attention to his application it would be criminal even to doubt. The benefits that may relish to Bri tain are incalculable ! An union may thus be ce mented with thnfe who really te . fifi Egypt, that may fecure to us many etclulive advantages when the pe riod (ball arrive, which cannot be dillant, in which thole who now have the nomad fotvreigtory (ball lore even that claim to interfere in the affairs of that onuntry.—But we (hall riot dwell on a fubjea which prefents a wide field for political fpeculation. It will be ken by our Gibraltar letter, that the French have laid the Kano of NAAR' under costri. betiors for the maintenance of their army. We have alfo received letters - which tomabm the capture of twoof our merchant:um the Altrea and the Mary, bound to Turkey. withaery rich cargoes, and informing as. that the Spaniard► nal aontinue to prat& the French private's.

Things remained in this Rate for near a quarter of an hour, when the Grenadiers hay ing dikovered a fmall gate which was open, they rased in, difarming and driving the garnfon in all direffions. To Cave the place from being taken by form, a flag of truce was now difpatcheff, hofiilities ceded. and an honourable 'capitulation was granted. The whole then marched to Highbury to dinner, and with the health of the King, they drank oblivion to theft brawls. The dal was beautiful, and it was after (even in the evening before the Regiment difmifed in Fa. bory.fquare.
