B. Rossos, Efq. late Member for Oakbampton, Jamas GREEN, Efq. late Member for Arundel, ALEXANDER GERALD, and WM. JACKSON, Efqrs. One of thofe Gentlemen who has been fome time a prifoner in France, having been detained there a; the commencement of hoffilities, reports, that at Rot terdam-there are about too gun boats ready for the invailon of this country, and that at the different places, whichhe has lately been at in France and Hol land, be has ken upwards of 3000 boats of the fame defcription ; but he is of opinion, that no expedition, undertaken in fuch veffels can poffibly be attended with fuccefs. On the fubjed of the French preparations, we have received the following adjitional information : " Dovaa, Nur. 2. " By intelligence received here, it appears that the number of gun-boats, already colleCted at Boulogne, is greater than hitherto reprefented. They amount, it is raid, to between 540 and 150, and upwards of 20 more are ready at Calais, and only wait for an op portunity to join them. Befides thefe, there are two floating batteries at Dunkirk, each mounted with twenty-fix guns, thirty-fix pounders, and rowed with forty oars. Great preparations, it feems, are making to put the French coaß in a moll formi dable Rate of defence, by mortars and the ereCtion of batteries. The whole number of beats ready for fer •ice in the different ports of France amount to nearly boo. In Breft there are two (hips of the line and nearly 200 tranfports, defined, no doubt, to convey troops to Ireland if they can efcape the vigilance of our Channel flcer, which has blockaded that port for fome months pall, in a manner that does great credit to the perfeverance and nautical (kill of the gallant veteran Admiral CORNWALLIS, who commands it. Accounts from the Coall of Holland Rate, that there are 17 or z 8 fhips of the line in the Texel, at Rotterdam, and Helvoetfluys. It is fuppofed that the Dutch army will be embarked in there veffek." This morning arrived a Hamburgh Mail, which brings Hamburgh news to the 313th of Odober, and in telligence from France up to the zoth ult. At that period the Cully CON sut. was Rill at Saint Cloud, but it was generally expeEted that he would fet out in a fcw days for the Northern coatis, to give more eked by his pretence to the orders and for battening with the utmoll polEble difpatch, the preparations making for the intended invafion. To thew that 80. if,aPAIL Ts is ferious in this deign, a decree was pub lithed is the lifoniusr of the aoth, refpeefling the or• ganization of a corps of guides and interpreters, to be compored of volunteers, capable of (peaking and tfanflating the Englifh language, and acquainted with the topography of this country. Admiral NILSON, it is Paid, was making prepara tions to bombard Toulon, which is Rated to be in a formidable Rate of defence. PARIS JOURNALS. Peats,Ocv. lg.—Twelve thoufand men are already encamped in the neighbourhood of Boulogne, and more troops are daily arriving. The whole coaft from Etape to Calais, forms one continued line of the melt formidable batteries. The preparations for the invafion are carried on with the utmotk aaivity.— Generals have been difpatched to every point of the Northern Coall, to place them in a complete nate of defence, or to batten the meafures now carrying into execution, previous to the grand attack. The near Consul. will let out in a few days, to animate the whole by his prefence. Some perfons had afferted, that the orders refpeaing thefe preparations were coun termanded or fufpended, and from this circumllance concluded, that there were Rill hopes of peace : but this report is entirely void of foundation. On the fiat fignal, the different bodies of troops will embark. The French demi.brigades have got the name of regi rr -nts ; the Chi;:fs of them are ColortAs ; and molt of the Majors are ahead? appointed. 'The heavy ea • tali,' 11;11 be to ten regiments of cuiraffiet and the. di agoons %via (erre both as infantry and light cavalry.

Admiral Na LEON, it is fait!, is now employed in pre parations for an attempt to deftioy the magazines and (hips at Toulon.

(krona. 20..—The CHIEF CONSUL iS !till at St. Cloud. In the mean time, as he is loon expeeed to join the Army of England, a field lodging which, as we are affured, is defined for his ufe, has already been fent thither. It is a portable wooden "mule, conftrueed in this city ; and confills of a fleeping- , room, a clofct, and a kitchen, all the parts of which can be taken to pieces, and united at pleafure, and fo light that they can be conveyed on two poft wag gons. Every day furnilbes new proofs of the ferious intention of the CUM CONSUL to brave every ob. flack, in order to carry the flames of war into the , heart of England. But nothing is a more evident teflomony of his deign than a decree of Vendemraire I izzli, (oeober 4), inferted this day in the Official 1 Journal. It contains orders for the formation of a company of guides and interpreters who will be em ployed in the grand expedition :—this company will confift of 117 men, including the Captain, four Lieu tenants, and Subalterns. The recruiting for this troop is to be by voluntary enrollment, at Paris, and in the lea ports from Oftend to St. Malo. The quali fications for admiffion into it are—to be able to !peak and tranUate Englifh ; having 'elided in England, and a knowledge of the topography of the country. The frith who are in France, and the young Con_ feripts, who do not form part of the army, may be received into this company, if they poffefs the re quifite qualifications. The Officers will be appointed by the Chief Conful, on a recommendation by the Miniftcr at War ; the Subalterns will be nominated directly by the Minifter. Their uniform is to be a fhort green coat with red facings, and white huffsr buttons, white waincoat, leather breeches, American boots, and black bronzed fpurs. Their arms are to be mu!ket and bayonet, and fabre fimilar to the fa bres of the dragoons. Spain to avoid taking an aelive part in the prefent war, is to pay France 4 millions of flares monthly, and gurrantee the payment in like manner of one million monthly by Portugal. Four emigrants who had taken the benefit of the amnelty, but carried on a correfpondence with the Count d'Aarois, have been deported, among them are LAVAL MONTMORENCY, and; ARCNAMBAULT.
