FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. biUNS DUPLVS-V.A.411.4111.$ WORK • The Second .Fart of M. Dune's diatinguislied Werit, entitled Voyages dans to Grande Brria,;ne, is published, in two quirto ye. lumes. The end of the whole work is so dignified and Important, its subject matter so valuable, and its execution so powerful; that we should conceive ourselves equally wanting to the cause of ge. neral knowledge, and to that of our own national politics, if we failed to offer this public testimony of the interest which weave felt in its perusaL The immediate subject of discussion in this part of the book is the Noval Force of England ; for a French. man, a delicate and trying theme. But lupin is not an or dinary Frenchman. We do not say that he has wholly shaken off the peculiarities or prejudices of his nation; or that the jUs tice of some of his reasonings, the accuracy of his conclusions, and even the authenticity of a few of his facts, have not been in a slight degree affected by the emulous medium through which he has examined this country. But such errors at/specks upon the sun. M. Dupin is deceived but rarely, and others he never seeks to deceive. We have never read a bo•k by any foreigner which bears the strong Impress of such indefatigable dilfztoice. of such clear Intelligence, of such temper, such candour, or such integrity, as this of M. lupin. The information has been ail lected from the fountain-head. A great proportion of it most have been official; but the admirable mode in which it has been arranged, and the able disquisitions to which It has been made subservient. betray small marks of English once. The subjects treated are of great variety. They embrace the whole essence of our Naval System • its constitution and administration in a ll their parts. The author beg:ns with a view of the operation of the royal and legislative authority on the marine force of the State, and follows out his inquiry through an immense multitude of ramifications, until he at last finishes with the Breakwater at Plymouth. There is a large por tion of historical as well as scientific investigation throughout this singular book, which, in a passing sketch, it would be impos sible and useless to advert to. We shall quote merely ore pas sage on a point of which the interest can never wholly vanish from the national mind of England. It relates to the design of Invasion by Bonaparte, and affords some curious calculations of the capacity on one side to execute, on the other to defeat, that gigantic and memorable project. This extract may assist to for tify this nation against the possible return of in-founded fancies unworthy of her intrinsic strength : the latter, to prevent the recurrence of delusions opposite in their character, and more re plete with shame and with eventual danger: " At this epoch Great Britain la id, beides the regular army, Goo,ooo Militia, infantry, and cavalry, in alms, all the seamen of the merchant service enrolled for the gun-boats, and the inhabi tants of the coasts embodied in corps, called Sea Fenciblv. It re mained to be seen whether this force was capable of withtandlug the shock of the army of Boulogne, had it crossed the Channel. " When the First Consul threatened England with an invasion, he did not appear inclined to attempt it with ships of the line: he caused gun-boats to be built in all the ports and in all the rivers on the Atlantic coast, and collected them to the number of 1300 in the port of Boulogne. Troops to the amount of 100.000 were to be embarked on board these gun-boats and transports. In case of a successful descent, immense reieforcements were to follow. BANKRUPTS.

Portu ;nese Consul-General in London: PUBLIC NOTICE Tile Commissioners of Public Health having officially received the disagreeable information, that the yellow fever had declared itself in the port of Santa Maria, and having taken into their consideration this subject of such importance and public interest, and owing to the existing intercourse between said port, Cadiz, Porto Beal, Botta, and other places in the Bay of Cadiz, orders, Ist, That all vessels, persons, and goods arriving from the ports of Santa Maria, Cadiz, Porto Real, or any place situate in the Bay of Cadiz, shall not be admitted into any of the ports of this kingdom. od, That all vessels, persons, and goods, arriving from other ports of Spain, between Gibraltar and Ayamente, except those already mentioned, will only be admitted into the port of Lis bon exclusively, under a rigorous quarantine, which can never be less than thirty days' duration : well understood that they are in all cases to be accompanied by documents from the Authori ties of Public Health of the ports from whence they sailed, le galised by the Portuguese Consuls, to prove their origin and departure. 3d, That until the contrary is ordered, full force will be given and exacted to what ha already been determined with regard to fishermen and bar pilots, as per Public Notice of 30th March, 1815: first and second of 22d July, 1818; and second of 31st August, 1819. ♦th, That the meetings or conferences ordained by Art. 3, Tit.:., of the Provisional Quarantine Regulations of 27th July, 1807, shall take place by the military, civil, and economical Au thorities of each port in the kingdom, whenever t►e seriousness of occurring subjects, shall demand it, that they may act with more certainty and unanimity. sth, That the necessary steps of security having already been taken for the kingdom of Algarve', by means of a military cor don, established on the right bank of the Guadiana, and owing to the measures adopted by the Spanish Authorities in their ter ritories, those only will be put in force for the rest of the fron tiers, which, without absolutely cutting of all communication, will have for its object the qualification of travellers, and' the verification of identity of the passports, which may be presented in the same manner as was practised in the years 1813 and 1814, when this same contagion appeared in Cadiz. And that these determinations may be known to all, and to prevent the plea of ignorance, this Public Notice is ordered to be affixed in all public places in the ports of this kingdom, to be rigorouqly observed until its literal exforcement shall be modi fied or dispensed with. (Signed) The Acting Secretary, Lisbon, Oct. 1, 1821. FR A NCISCO DE ASSES E COSTA. (Signed) ANTHONY LOPES DA CUNHA. Consul-Gtn. "'They were to force a landing on the opposite coast, and pro ceed direct to London, not, as was supposed might be done in the time of Lloyd, by advancing only two miles a day in conse quence of the difficulties of the ground and the embarrassment of baggage, but by forced marches, carrying every position by the bayonet or field artillery. .After their landing, nothing would in the first instance have arrested the progress of the conquerors of Lodi, of Zurich, of Heliopolis, of Holseullnden, and of Ma rengo. But was the descent possible? It was not possible to enter Dover by force. That port is situated between two high mountains, in a position in which its lofty batteries and works, safe from any cofap de wart, would easily destroy the most form/. dable fleet. There was besides on the heights of Dover an en trenched camp, occupied by a considerable force, which would have defended the coast under the protection of the forts and batteries. On the other hand, how were 1500 vessels to get out of Boulogne in one tide, and to stand over in anything like order to the English coast? This could never he done under the fire of the English squadron cruising in the Channel. " But that squadron might be driven off its station by a gale ; and before it could have time to return, the French flotilla might cross. Be it so. But let us see what would follow. " The English had lined their coast with strong batteries on every point where a landing could lie attempted. Strong towers were built at short distances along the shore, which was com pletely within the range of their guns; these martello towers could not be taken by a cvdp de main. Brigade* of light artillery, corps of cavalry, flying camps of infantry, presented a force moveable along the whole of the sea coast by a road expressly made for that purpose. The English had besides a great number of gun-boats in all the ports opposite Boulogne. All small craft, all pilot and fishing boats &c. were prepared for warfare if necessary. " They were numbered and classed hi divisions, with Officers ready to direct, and troops to man them. The guns and am munition were so disposed in the magazines, that these vessels could be armed in a moment. Finally, besides the squadron stationed off Boulogne, there was a fleet of observation in the Downs, another at Spithead, and a third at the Nore. In a few minutes the telegraphic signals could communicate between all , these points and the Admiralty in London. Thus, whichever way the wind might Wog, it was probable that the English would arrive at the point of descent, if nut in time to prevent the landing, at least soon enough to burn our flotilla. In that case, our army would have been left without a retreat, without sup port, and without provisions. "That it would have performed prodigies lam sensible. It would not have been less magnanimous than the Army of the East after the naval battle of Aboukir. But those opposed to it were not Turks and Arabs. It would have had to contend against a people of prodigious obstinacy—against a million of men in arms, animated by the enthusiasm cf patrioti.m, and iucited by the most implacable hatred of the French name. " I have impartially stated our means of attack, and the Eng r lish means of defence. .1 am still of opinion that it was impos sible to effect a descent without the protection of a fleet equal to that which we then possessed, and which was defeated in the battle of Trafalgar. But it was necessary that this fleet should first have possession of the Channel; and /the Captains who commanded it in consequence of the inexperience of many and the indecisioAlif others (though there were honourable excep tions), were such as to render a victory impossible. As to suc cess after the landing, I leave it to eminent Military Comman ders to deterndne by their skill and experience the chances of victory and defeat. I confine myself to a statistical view of the military and naval force of Great Britain. . 1 " Instead of attacking the British Empire in iti centre, it would have been more advantageous to land in Ireland. But it would have been necessary to have made this attempt with a great ex pedition, Ihd General Bonaparte, instead of conquering Egypt, proceeded with his Army of Italy to Ireland, that country woctid certainir have been lost to England, and British power would have sustained an irrepaz able blow. lay landing in the Bay of Galway, to proceed afterwards along the banks of the Shannon, a fine po. t anion wou l d have been occupied. Ireland would h ave b een thrown int insurrection, the natives armed and organi ze d I n corps, and t e English driven out of that island. We fomented the revolt of the Irish by sending them trifling succours. Th e y were the victims of their confidence, and frightful massacres followed the insurrection. " At the time when our continental army had completed its glory by thd 'campaign and victory of Austerlitz, England, by destroying the combined naval force of France and Spain, off Cape Trafalgar, secured a long duration to her maritime prepon derance. Being relieved from all fear of invasion, she abandoned the defensive system, and gradually adv en t ure d an o ff ens i ve war. She failed in her rst attempt against Spain, under General Moore; and against Belgium, under Chatham. Instructed by these reverses, she learned to connect more perfectly her mili tary and naval operations; to employ more abundance and Bt.. mess in her means, more prudence in her plans, and more vigour in the execution. The army which the naval Force at Corunna saved fro.n destruction was soon after brought back by that same force to the. Peninsula, where, supplied and supported by the navy; it balanced during five years the succss of the French troops in Portugal and Spain, which countries became the tomb of the armies of Austerlitz and shill*" This (lay was published, s n r o b. price 10s. 6d. half-bound, the Twelfth Edition, of EVENINGS AT HOME ; or, Th e J uven il e Bud get spent d : consisting of a viiiety of Miscellaneous Pieces bathe Instruction and Amusement of Young Persons.
