PARIS, OCTOBER as. Molt of the French regiments of foot in Switzer land have received orders to return to France, and to proceed to the coaft of the Channel. In the room of General NF V, who is to command the camp of Comp , egtz. General 1341480 U is appointed to the command in chief of the troops in Switzerland. The late report of the warlike preparations in our ports being cart ied on with abated vigour, is void of foundation. The neutrality of Spain, during the prefent war, is on the point of bring definitively arranged on our part. The Spanills vales, which eight days ago were at a difcount of 44 per cent. nnw lore only 36. Reports from Spain ttate, that in cafe of the Eng- IA feeding troops to Portugal, the Spanifb troops, encamped near Valladolid, are to march to that country. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. BaussEts, Ocr. 27.—General Beer HIER, Minifter at War, on his palrage through this town, ordered all the artillery horfes which have not yet proceeded to the head quarters, to be fent without delay to Bruges. All the preparations for the expedition againft England are carried on with Inch vigour, that it is generally fuppofed it will be undertaken in a very (port time.—Part of the field equipage of the FIRST CONSUL is arrived at Dunkirk. BON•PALTIL intends, for force time, to efablint his headquarters -at a Mort dillance from that town. Here, as well as in feveral others places in Belgium, an embargo has again been laid on a number of merchantmen, to be employed in the expedition againft England. General 11/11.111111, Commander of the Department of the Dyle, bas received orders to proceed to Paris ; he is to com mand a divifion of the Army of England. Upwards ef ion tranfports are at prefent affembled in the port o (Mend; and all feamen and Mermen, nay boys of iis years of age, are in a fate of requifition. Our newf papers %fen, that the whole army, commanded by General D'Avottsr, is to be embaiked at Dunkirk, Weed, and Brefkens. The FIRST CONSUL is ex petged on the Fleming coati about the beginning of Kovember. MADRID.

This refolution has been notified to our merchants, with the a ifurance that the Spear lag will meet, in the French colts• aim, with the frieatily reception.

MARROFF, the RuMan Ambaffador, having been abfent from the Confular Levee. We find the fame thing again inentioned in the Paris Journals which reached town yellerday. It is evident, that a confiderable degree of toolnefs has taken place between the Courts of St. Peteriasurgh and St. Cloud. Indeed it has been long pretty well known in the diplomatic circles, ever fusee boltilities were renewed, that the condult of our go vernment has of, on the whole, been approved by ALMMDER, who has laboured not a little to induct the Ftarr Congo L. to follow a more pacific line of conduit ; and who is believed to have obtained the rf/jito for Portugal fo much boated of in the Kercure de Fromm We know, however, that the French took care at the fame time to extort from Portugal a large fum of money as the price of her iafecure peace. Rullit and other Powers may look on, or even talk of mediating—they will find, before a very difiant period, that romething elfe is neceffary.

We underhand that Government have received fuch accounts as induce them to believe that the in. vafion is inftantly to be attempted. Indeed the above movements thew that the enemy is looked for as Loon as the wind will allow of his departure from his own ports : sod this is farther confirmed by orders iffued to tome commanders of corps, to hold themtelves in readinefs to march at a moment's notice. Lail night the profs comminced Eaft of London. Bridge, all down to the Nore, at fix o'clock precifely; and, before eight, Capt. Rten iLL, the Regulating Officer at the Tower, had received and fent on board the Tender upwards of Soo men. It is believed, that ere midnight this number mutt at leatt have been doubled ; and, should the fame aaivity have been obferved down the River to the Note, we may natu rally conclude, that the total number thus collated amounted, in the eourfe of a few hours; to Come thoufands. It is an obfervatinn of ?iterate' Sax', in his reve. l ries, that England cannot be attacked with any profped of fuccefs but by the river Thames. The vigilance of Government, however, has rendered filch an attack altogether impracticable. by the ad mirable and effatual manner in which the mouth of the River has been focured. The following plan will give an adequate idea of the floating battery, which, as we trull, defies the utmoft effort of the enernyorith. out impeding the commercial channel of the River.— Heroine. 14 swat Lieut.

Should the modern Xerxes be mad enough to at. tempt to invade this happy ifland, which is now the only afylum left for liberty, we have no doubt that he will experience the fate of the Afiatic invader, who though furrounded by millions, was obliged to retreat with flume and confulion before a handful of men, infpired by the love of true liberty, and deterrais. ed, rather than fubmit to a foreign conqueror, to bury tbemfelves under the ruins of their country. —The fpirit lately manifelled by the inhabitants of the Britifh Emp re, in voluntarily coming forward with fo much alacrity to arm themfelves in defence of e very thing dear to virtuous and magnanimous minds, is worthy of the moff fplendid periods of an cient Greece or Rome; and mould they be called into the field to repel a crud and implacable foe, we have the fullers confidence that their exertions will be crowned with complete fuccefs. Let the Aaf conading defpot advance wish his mercenary horde► —he will revert the famous fpeech of Caessa, which his fervile flatterers have fo often applied to h'ns, and be obliged to fay : I came, I law, and *4lruined." We announced yeflerday the arrival of Lieutenant ROISEILT HOULT and his Lady at Dover, in a Danifh veffel from France. They had been detained there as prifoners of war, but being in pofTeffion of as old paffport, which they had obtained previous to the commencement of hoflilities, Lieutenant Houvr al tered it, and paired as an American Officer. Having fucceeded in getting into Switzerland, the inconve nience of going through Germany at this feafon of the year induced him to mu; n into France, and en. deavour to teach Come poi t, whencehe might take his departure in a neutral veffel and get to England. The Asset-it= tali was Co neatly altered, that no fuf. picion was entertained of the frame by any of the offi cial people throng'iout the whole of his journey, and, sr a Citittn gibe Uaited States, he reached Dieppe about three weeks (ince, whence he failed on Wednefrlay evening lA. The intelligence brought by this Gentleman is re- tremely interelling. During his (lay at Dieppe, he mingled with all clafres of the people, and being ge nerally received as an American marine Officer, be had accefs to every part of the town and neighbour hood. About ten days ago, he law the fquadron of armed veffels equipped at Dieppe, amounting to about IS fail, lets; the port, &dined for Boulogne, and was informed, previous ta his departure, of their fate arrival. The coati, he declares, (warms with troops, and th.it in many eonverfations be had with the Officers and private men belonging to different regiments, he observed they ail entertained a perfeet convietion of their being very Ibl:flay ordered to em• bari for England. The fuppored American became frequently jocular with them on the rubjerft of the invation, but in feveral inflames hinted at the deliroc• tion that mud await the meu employed on fo dan gemos an expedition. Their conduit anfwer was— '• Very well. i: zoo.coo of us perilh. France vrai be jud where the was, for (be can fend another sconems, l Fwd annthPr oft-r that • but if we vet 00 &OM k& England, we will do the bufinefs." The indiffereate expreffed by thefe people, even at the moment they feemed convinced of their being defined to certain deftruetion, our informant declares, furprifed him exceedingly; but Inch was really the cafe through out every department of the army he had accefs to during his flay on the malt. Tliis Gentleman, who teems to have examined the fituation of affairs on the oppofite coati with a more than ordinary attention, death* that he Was well fatisfied of an Invafion from France being attempted very (portly, as he can be of any circumftance that has not already taken place—every man in the French army now on the coati expels the Confidar order for embarkation, when the Marine Officers report the whole of the feveral flotillas being in readinefs ; but he lays, it is no fecret on the oppofite fide, that Bo- N•PAILTE will not command the firft expedition ; but that MASSENA and Beirrntsit are to be the principal Officers. If they fuffer, the PRIMIII CONSUL is to try his fortune; and fuch is the general converfation at Dieppe, and on the French malt, although they view every day our chips blockade their ports fo ef feElually, that not a veld can put to lea, without being eapturei by our ct uizers. Thefe accounts, as they are recent, aad brought by a Naval Gentleman we underfland of credit apd charaEter, merit notice ; but the converfation of mi. litary men on the oppofite coaft deferves no more attention on fuch a fubjefl, than ours would do were they to pretend a developement of the feeret move ments of our Cabinet. The French foldiere) we be lieve, entertain an opinion that very ()wily they will be ordered to embark on the expedition to England: but how can they be certain that Bomararra in. tends to difpatch fuch an order ? Or that an afrem blage of troops on the coA of France, at this time, is not for purpofes, only known to the Cabinet of St- Cloud, and which they cannot, no Mould be made acquainted with. Ina word, if the French attempt to leave the harbour of Boulogne, which is the great rendezvous of their flotilla at this period, or, indeed, from any othei of their ports in the Channel, they' ruth on certain deftruition ; and as this cannot be unknown to the Corlicza, it would be abfurd is the extreme to imagine he would facrifice an army, and the whole of hie tranfportiftet, merely for the purpofe of grater rid of thew.

He then returned to the centre, when, upon a fignal gun, the whole line commenced firing .rom centre to flanks by compatles; this was followed by two rounds from each corps filing by wings ; this was fucceeded by two volleys from each battalion; and the whole concluded by file firing fur a cunfiderahle time. His Escellency then took his amities on the right, upon which the whole line broke into open column by a wheel of companies on their left backwards, and marched pall the General in ordinary time, officers faluting. Each corps then marched to their relpec tive qitArters. The whole tctminated about two o'clock afternoon. The number prefent on the field was eltimated fully to,coo. The fight was magnificent beyond dekription; and, with the profpee before us of an in vading foe, was calculated to eahilarate every heart, and to infpire the moil timid mind with ernfidence. The weather was remarkably favourable, the inn (bona with a comfortable degree of warmth for the tialon, and the (Icy was fetene. Thefe attraAions, together with the novelty of the fcene, combined to call forth fpellators beyond calcul.di ,n.
