The French 'garrifons in our Republic will every where be changed. The new divilion of the French and Batavian troops will now foon take place. The Batavian Lieutenant General Dowsomcsau, has already arrived here from his head-quarters at Haerlem, to go with General Varna to Ifftrecht, where, in conjunEtion with feveral other commanders, they will regulate the defenfive divifion and de Rination to the expedition againa England. Ocr. 15. —According to an order of the Govern. ment, all the fifhing veffels will be brought up on Shore. This order extends to all our coafts. It is said that all there veffels will be colleaed in one of our ports that they may not fall into the hands of the Englifh, and may he at hand to be employed in the expedition againß England, together with our merchant chips, which mug be ready by the middle of November. _ _ _ Several perfons have been arrefied at Amilerdam, accufed of being paid by the Englifh to excite dircon tent and difturbance among the people. Almott all the troops from the frontier fortreires of Old France have been marched to the coati of Bel gium. Holland, and the Northern and Wefiern coatis of France, now exhibit the greauk military preparations. Twelve tboufand French troops are on their march to Utrecht, to form a camp there. In our Courant it is (aid, under the head Paris, that the Ruffian envoy.

Some pieces of artillery were placed on the heights to repel the attack of the Foglia. The Englifli, after placing their vefel in a direaios to commence a cannonade, after a Siert minfe they judged it prudent to retire. It is &id that the Prince loyal of Denmark has foot to London very heavy complaints on the fabJee. OCT. 7.—. For fame time a number of Foe:ribs:have lately Battered thensfelves, that the difattrous canna betwixt France and England might be terminated by the good offices of Raffia. Thee hopes were revived by the new modems taken by the Court of St. Pe terkurgh to reconcile the two parties. as well as by the propofitions at the fame time made on the pan of the French Government. There cireunshanceh we are now ',Cured, did cell, bin at the fame time wean informed that they have totally failed in pro ducing the Oka which was fo ardently longed for. The preliminary condition of an armillice has wholly put an end to the Negotiation. It appears that the pacific overtures of the Courts of St. Peterlburgh and the Thuilleries, had always for their bafis the immediate cefation of hoftilities ; and the Court of St. James's perfined in regarding fucb a propti eion as highly prejudicial to its interells. The Hamborghers have fees, with peculiar regret, this profiled of peace like the others which pre- ceded it. Though they are neutral and not at all implicated in the war, they do not the lefs powerfully experience its inconvesiencies and its prefure.— The difaareus confequeaces of the blockade of the Elbe, continue to be More and more experienced. For ages, fo few vefels have not been Peen in the Elbe. The& veffels, which before the declara tion of the blockade bad completed their cures, have been Coffered to depart ; others which arrived previous to that event, bet had not begun to load, have been fulfered to fail, but ooly so isoselltion that they are laden with ba ll s& It is very rarely that veffeli are able to elude the vigilance of the Britifh cruisers.

A convoy was expeFted to IA in a few days from the fame place, for the North Sea, under convoy of the HOUND, of 16 guns; and another floop, of 14 guns. In the preceding columns our Readers will find ample eztrafts from the French and other Continental Journals, received yefterday. Government has received information, that the prefent intention of the enemy is to make their prin cipal attack upon Ireland, where Boaarairrs means to attempt landing so,ooo men. He has been heard lately to fay, that to accomplith this object, he does not mind facrificing too,ooo men ; that he expeas half the boats containing that number will be de. firoyed by the fea without an enemy meeting them ; that he depends on an call wind driving our (hips of the French coati ; and that with the (hips fitted nut at Breit he will hazard a battle with our Channel fleet, to give a better chance to the tranfports and gun •eflels to reach Ireland. Tltefe accounts (late alio, that the enemy are every day curdling their troops with the boats ; that the camp at Boulogne confitis of z 6,000 men, and is increafing in number daily ; and that at Dieppe they have 26 boats com- I pletely ready for fca. It appear;(, however, that fome of the oldeft French Officers entertain a very different opinion from the Cittar CoNsJz, re(pe.lting the probable iffile of the invahon. Rear• Admiral Mess,sssr, who lately wrote a letter, in which he condemned the plan of attempting an invafion of England, bar chained leave se rip! He is one of the few Admirals of the old fyffem, alum the revolution has hitherto (pared. Government, we underhand, have determined not to receive the furrenderof any of part of St. Domingo front the French planters and merchants, nor to oc• cupy with our troops a fingle fortiefs in that Mind, the immediate evacuation of which is now confidered las a certain event. The Hon. Capt. COLVILL is appointed to the com mand of the Sea Fencibles on theCoan ofCumberiand. Yellerday, Captain DODD of the Royal Artillery, Aide-de-Camp and Secretary to the Duke of Kern., pretested to his Royal Highnefs at his Villa of Cagle- hill Lodge, in the name of the principal inhabitants of Gibraltar, a molt elegant diamond Garter of St. George. and a Medallion of St. Patrick, for the pur chafe of which, as a token of attachment to his Royal Highnefs's Perfoo, and deep regret at his temporary departure from the Garrifon, one thoufand guineas had been in a few hours fuliferibed. His Royal Highnefs received theft tributes of gratitude and al kalosis from the inhabitants of his Government, with all that politencfs and condefeeufion which fo con fpienoufly diftinguifh his charader. When fpeaking of the Volunteers of this metro polis, it is proper we mould notice how much they are indebted to the noblemen and gentlemen, who have accommodated them with convenient places for their refpedive corps. Among thole who have Rood' forward on this occafion, none Rands more confpi. coons than Sir Wittier Powrimair, who has not only laid wane the whole of his garden for the ac commodation of the Loyal Britons, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Davisos, but with an interett, alma unprecedented in the fuccefs of a Volunteer corps, has kindly offered the whole or any part of Bath houfe, Pkadilly, thould it be neceffary for the convenience of the fame. A very numerous and refpe&abk meeting of the merchants, Ihip-owners, and others, interelted in the trade of Neweaftle, being held at the Guildhall on Saturday hill, for the purpofe of applying to Go vernment for Come additional fecurity for the port, the Maroa was requefted by the meeting to apply fur one or more armed dips being Rationed there for the above purpore. The Admiralty have re turned for anfwer, that the immenfe demands upon the naval force of the country render it impoffible to Ration dips of war for the proteition of every indi• vidual port, but that it is their objea to apply it generally and colleitively for the protation of the whole ; and that, from the Inca) circumflances of that port, a naval force within the bar does not appear to their Lordlhips to be applicable to its defence. Yefterday arrived an overland difpatch from India, which brings an account of a dreadful fire having broke out on the 3otb of April, at Madras. The fcene of the conflagration was at Godow, on the Beach.— Within one hour it had defiroyed the whole range of buildings, with the exception of one or two ware• bottles and the range lately erected. The lots is va rioufly reported—Some rate is at so, others at Ao lacs of pagodas. It is raid that 600,000 bags of rice were dearoyed. The natives, it is believed, will be the principal )offerers. In the evening of the Jay on which it broke out. the Sr. was wholly dißinguilbed. The Lotto Duncan had arrived at Madras, and was to proceed to Bengal. The Casrts Eosu had likewife arrived at Madras, and was to load itome. The flips Oeaar, 1111111l1r ADDI‘GTON, and East. CAI4IIOIII arrived at Bombay the 7th of May.

Though living at the avant poll, we are fo confident in the vigilance of our cruifers, and the bravery and unanimity of the troops on (bore, and people of all defcriptions, that all the gafconade and movements of the enemy's petty flotilla does not, I believe, difturb the fleep of a fingle individual in this populous town.
