We (hall lay the letter itfelf, which is a carious produtlion, before our Readers tomorrow, Being obliged this day to referve our columns for more preffing matter. In the mean time, it is with much pleafure we Rate, that vigorous meafures are adopting to repel the enemy, and protect our country. Orders have been fent to Sheernefs, that every fhip, capable of being fitted, may be put in a Rate of forwardnefs im mediately.

Such of the officers as are appoint. ed by the Admiralty have received orders to render every poffible affillanee to the volunteers. But, what will give us more fecurity than any mea- Cure that has yet been adopted, the Firß and Second Gars of the Levy en Mafs, that is fuch of them as are not already enrolled in the Volunteer Corps, are immediately to be called out to learn the ufe of the pike. Befides being furnifhed with pikes, each man it to be furniffied with a cutlafs, that he may not be expofed to the danger of being left without arms, in the event of his pike happening to break.

(Signed) NON•PARTE. REPORT DELIVERED IN TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC NY THE MINISTER AT W•R, 5 VERDE. MIAIRE, YEAR 12, SEPT. 27. Cirizem Comstrzs—General MORTIER has fent to Paris nineteen pair of colours and fizteen ftandards, taken at different petiods by the Hanoverian troops from the French, and laid up in the grand arfenal of Hanover. The greater part of there trophies, torn, Rained with blood, and confining only of tatters, fhew how dearly the enemy mull have paid for them. A (landaud reprefenting on both fides a Sun, hail been taken on the it th September, 1709, at the bat tle of Malplaquet, when the army of the allies, fu. perior in numbers and commanded by the Duke of Nlarlborougl: and the Prince Eugene, obtained over the French, led on by Villars and Bonnier', a vi&ory G. long difputcd. A tingle tri.coloured nandard, with the motto " Liberty or Death," had belonged to a Republican Battalion at the commencement of the war. The part of the filk on which the name of the Battalion fhould have appeared had .can n away. Other inferiptions refer to the affairs of Veltingen, of Langhenfalza, of Villenghaufen, of Minden, and the dates of 27th June, 1743; 11l June, 1754; Ift Auguß, 1759 ; 12th February and 16th June, 1761 ; and 24th June 1762. The re mainder of Standards and Colours appear to belong to the fame epochs, and to have been loft in the un fortunate actions which followed the battle of Rof. back. Thus they recal the war, of t vs, begun by the Englifh without f pny previous declaration, and fignalifed by an affsffination, that of Jumonville. They recal fucceffes very little honourable to the me. my, fence they were in a great meafure owing to the perfidy which violated the Convention of Clonerfeven. They recal the weaknefs which then reigned in the Councils of the French Government, and which at lag contented to the ignominious treaty of 1763 . . In the very beginning of a new war, undertaken to avenge the faith of treaties, to pima perfidy, and to walls nut the many infults offered to the French n tmc, we fee the monuments of our ancient misfor• tunes change I in our hands into monuments orklory. We may now place, with pride, there colours which we have recovered, in the midfl of thole taken from the enemy, with which French valour has decorated the dome of the invalids. More than one veteran re cognifing, with cmn;tnn, the flandard under which he bad (ought, which he had perhaps Rained with blood, will bids thole who have made an orna ment of his lan afylum.

From Paris he will proceed to Compiegne, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, Saint-Omer, Nieuport, Offend, Bruges, Ghent, and Antwerp s whence he will repair to the grand head quarters of the Army of England, which are not yet definitively fixed. The CHIEF CONSUL will •ifit alto that part of the coafts of Dutch Flanders, which he had not time to vifit during his &It tour; SEPT. 23.—A1l the forces deflined for the expedi tion againft England will, it is faid, be divided into fix corps, forming a total of 200,000 combatants, the operations of which will be direfted by the Cats r CONSUL. The camps in the ci-devant Flanders will be occupied by the centre of this formidable force, which will be provided with an immenfe train of ar tillery and other warlike preparations. I.arge con voys are getting ready in the arfenal of Mentz, which will be tranfported on the Rhine to Holland. SF FT. 24.—General Davousr, commandant of all the forces which are to be concentrated in the ci-de vant Flanders, and which will form the centre of the grand army of England, and General DUMAS, Chief of the Staff, who, with feveral Officers of rank, have made a ,tour to Dunkirk and along the coatis, to make the neceffary difpofitions for organizing the corps which are there affembling, returned immediately after to Bruges, where they were prefent at the admi niftration of the oath to the members of the legion of honour, which was performed with great ceremony. They are now employed in reviewing the troops which fucceffively arrive in Flanders, and in making preparations for the eftablifhment of a camp at Brn ges. The garrifon of that place will be no lefs nu• merous than that of Ghent ; among other troops ex pelled at that place, there are Tome regiments of ca valry, and the eonfular body guard, who will precede the CHIP F CONSUL. It appears that only one camp will be formed between Ghent, Dynfe, and Bruges, but it will be occupied by an army of 80,000 men. The troops deftined to compote it, are proceeding from all quarters towards thefe towns. The Mayor of this city, in confequence of the notifications he has received, is castling lodgings to be prepared for a number of troops, who will begin to pats through this place in the conrfe of the psafent week. They come from the Banks of the Rhine, and the ci-devant provinces of Burgundy, Lorraine, and Champagne, and will march to Ghent, from which they will repair to their ultimate deftination. It is not yet certain, whether the grand head quarters will be eftabliated at Ghent or Bruges. Letters from Ghent (late that General BEWAILS>, Commandant of the 24th military divifion now in the ci-devant Flanders, has received certain advice. that the Minifter of War, Major-General of the Army of England. will foon arrive at Ghent, after having infpeited the ramps of Compiegne and St. Omer, as well as the whole extent of the coaft from the mouth of the Seine to that of the Weftern Scheldt, and will precede by fame days the arrival of the Friss. Cow- , svL, who will take the chief command in !serious, of all the troops defined to all againft England. The Came advice. mull have reaches General DUMAS, Chief of the Staff, who is employed in infpelting the pofitions chofen for the eltablithment of camps, to be occupied by the troops as they arrive from Flanders. STRASBURG If, SEPT. 19.—0 n the 15th of this month, the General Direftory of the Eleftor of BA ♦ARtA, in Suabia, was folemnly inftalled at Ulm, by the Governor M. Da HsarLINO. The Regencies of Dillingen and Kempten are fuppreffed. The Court of Munich has ailed with feverity, with the view of putting an end to the pilgrimages, which were prohibited a year ago, by an Eleftoral decree. Carillons have been put into 45 towns, the inhabi tants of which had infringed the prohibition. The Official Journal of Munich fags, that " the inhabi tants of theft 45 villages have abandoned their houfes like favage hordes, to brave the laws, and to render to religion an homage which She reproves." Acme, Juts' s.—We have but lately come to know much of the feet of Whaabys. That left has been formed about fifty years amonga the Arabs who inhabit the Great Defart betwen Aleppo and the Perfian Gulph. Their religion is nearly that of na ture, which fingularity at firs attrafted the attention of travellers. Their force and numbers increafe daily by new profelytes, whom they gain over by the no velty of their doftrine, and the force of arms. They are now no longer afraid of (hewing refiflance to the Porte. It is fifteen days fince we received pofitive intelligence of their having taken Mecca. On ap proaching that city Schoud, Son of Ahdallase their Chief, Cent advice of his arrival to Abdalla Pacha, Chief of the C n of Mecca. lie announced that he was come to take the City, but he would neither hurt him nor his followers whom he advifed to depart. Abdalla Pacha then fent to him Adam Effendi, Cadi of Jerufalem, who had arrived from Jerufalem to confer with him on his religion. The Cadi was detained, not being able to effett a converfion, and the Chief of the Caravan departed from Mecca, leav ing, however, a great part of the merchandises. The Whaabys, to the number of so,ooo, attacked and took the city without refinance. All the hour's were pillaged, and even the tomb of Mahomet was plundered. There Eaftern people (peak with great enthufiafin of the riches of that tomb, but their ctn. gerations mutt be received with tome degree of mill uuft.

Such is the intelligence received, to which belief given ; but it is not certain what was the fate of t: inhabitants of Mecca : only it is believed that all Mahometans were put to death, who would not tic converted ; but the Chriftians and Jews were fpared. It appears tharthc Whaaby is very mild with thofe of his religion; there are no vexations nor oppreffioni ; and the only tax is one tenth of the revenue of eac h perfon, for the eilimation of which a f►mple declai tion is fufficient. Thole who are timid imagine the Whaabys ahead% at the gates of Aleppo and Damafcus, the pillage of which they affign as fecurity for the payment of their debts, and they confider that as good fecurity. The Englifh Agent at Bolcom wrote to the \VhaaLy not to moleft his countrymen who paired the Dear. and the Whaaby anfwered, without thanking him for the prefents he had received, limply laying, t h at lo long as he was at peace with Buffora, his meiTengers might pals freely.
