By the Mx Kozo cutter, arrived at Plymouth from a cruize off the coat of Spain, we learn that Jscov I BONAPARTE, in an American Teel, with a valuable cargo and a large turn of hard eallt,has made his efcape into Spain, the port fuppofed to be Corun sta. The American anfwered the defcription given to our cruifers ; but on being boarded by a (loop of war on the Sparta Ration, the papers of the American were fo well covered for Hamburgh for %bip and car go, that the was liberated upon the broad and fair principles of a neutral Blip and cargo : after a few days, by neutrals fpnken with, it appeared that the Cutss ConsoL's brother was on board this Ameti can lip, which altered her courfe after being board ed, and got fafe into a Spani(h' port. This hap' pened about 17 days fence. On the fubjeft of the threatened invafion, a Morn ing Paper of this day prefents the following as the fuhdance of the intelligence,received by Government, refpating the plans of the enemy That an embarkation of French troops, at four different places on their coatis, will very fhortly take place, and an attempt will be made to land them in Elks, Kent, and Sufrez. They are not intended to conquer the country, nor do they expe& to reach the metropolis I but they are to ravage and dellroy wherever they come, and, when preffed by fuperior numbers, to furrender prifoners of war. Thefe attacks are to cover the principal defign of the French Government, which, it now appears, is direled to fuccour the Irifh in their determination to feparate themfelves from the Crown of England, and to form an independent State. This has been ft:fp:teed for Come time pall; but it is now fub fiantiated by a late difcovery, that, previous to the commencement of hoßilities, a deputation from a numerous body of the difaffeded in Ireland, con. felling of feveral men of fuperior capacity, waited on the Pezmiaz Cousua at St. Cloud, and from that moment a fecret intercourfe has been carryingon,and a powerful infurration organizing in the Sifter King. dom, with the utmoß diligence, and circutorpeition. The attention of our marine, it is fuppofed, will be fo totally direeed to the Invading Flotilla defiined for the Englifh Coal, that a fleet now affembling at Iforlaix, Brea, and L'Orient, and which is to carry thirty thoufand veteran troops, and one hundred thoufand Rand of (pare arms, to Ireland, will be able to make the voyage without interruption. The fe rious attack on England is to take place when the fubjugation of Ireland is ace ompliffied, but not before. The invading army will then be compofcd of French and Ina, who are to pars the narrow bait at Port Patrick, and march through Scotland to the North of England, whila another landing is to be attempted on the coaft of Kent and the adjoining (hares." Whether the above be correft in all its detail we cannot take upon us is decide. It carries probability with it, and one part of it feems corroborated by private accounts from Dublin, which Rate, that 4 4 Government has very recently come into poffeffion of'fonse very important intelligence refpefling the defigns of the French againfi Ireland, en- Oira6 , ainaoratd with any svideatt etibirb it soy ie wrier" iriif forward to the trials of the frerfass sear is (*Jody, as it relates to the operations of &Secret rteary, which r bit not yet been put in motion." On one point, however, there feems to be but one opinion. The public mind ought to be prepared for an early attempt on the part of the enemy. That the attempt will very boon be made is the general belief in France. We have been told that it is confi dently raid, that, weather permitting, it will take place b:fore the zoth of this month. To there opi nions it is impoffible to oppofe a negative. The at tempt is preparing—it may be made, and the coun try ought to be prepared for it. It is plain from the altivity that has been difplayed by Government, that Minifters do not contemn the threat, nor ought they. Every precaution fhould be taken, every point covered.—Nothing, at the prefent moment, fhould be kft to chance—for " a (Ingle moure may gnaw a cable, if not driven away." But with vigilance—a determination not to ten *arias with the enemy—the pecuniary refources of whole empire devoted to the eaufe—a unanimity the vample, and which marks the true charae. without 4 - .‘ the genuine tons of Liberty—every ter of Briton' a. if the country—and the moll arm railed in defence eve► . beheld! whet powerful navy which the evions u a have we to fear from the threats of :: p 'llan I E ver y t hing in this country is or may be made a n xiaive force to hurl dellrultion on the enemy. no . he ble r Pt' • rit, seal, and alacrity of ever y rank , from the d the loweß , but eq uall y free artisans have Ino tip le our refources beyond all example; ancitheoi a l v yd r ;i: , eu {t'a, which v from veleta themfelves. agile the „i out mean!, the novelty of our f:taA:Ren, an: incxpi• ciente in thefpeeles ofattack with which we ere threaten ed. Need we then to call uponour countrymen,where ever they may be Wailed, to lend a ready obedience to every order that may be ilfued by thole to whom the details of our defence may be entrußed. Only by doing In, can they expect that unity of operation which will give effect to the combinations of the great machine, concentrating its moral and phyfical force, to the attainment of the grand obje6l for which the whole is combined—our mutual fafety—honour —liberty--exittence !—Be only refolved to obey, and you may exped the invafion of Bo AAAAA TVS armies without the llightefl emotion of apprehenfion. France has often threatened us with invafion, but never till the Corfican afcended the throne, did we hear fo much about the preparations—France is to conquer the free born fon: of Britain I France 1 with fcarce any (hips of war, with boats not much more formidable than the &king boats of the ancient Gauls, or the (warms of canoes that may be met with in the fees or rivers of the new world I The diminutive fhape of our antagonift by tea really teems, in Tome people's eyes, to render him more formidable. He is not to be grappled with. He flies, eludes our blows, oar purfuit. Yet it is this enemy that is to invade us! It is one of the weakeß naval powers in Europe that is to Rorm the havens and the (bores of the very Rrongeti naval power that ever exißed I It is the Rrength Of Holland, and the hefty built gun boats of France, that are to defy or efcape the muff numerous fleets that ever were beard of, and that in the narrow teas of Europe! France may, without any navy, prove our navy an empty name. If this puny navy (hall by any acci dent ever efcape oar immenfe fuperiority and bring down the pride of our marine, it will be prodigious. Something extraordinary in human affairs muff be portended. It would be as when the moufing owl brings down the falcon, towering in his pride of place. Something unnatural, incredible. Our navy ought to be confidered indeed only as our advanced guard. But it is in the power of Mi nifiert to increafe the force and the utility of this ad• vanced guard in a thoufand ways, peculiar almoft to the prefent moment. There is not a point of the French or Dutch Coal which the Britifh cruizers cannot approach every night. There is not a point from which even the molt ordinary intelligencers could not contrive to draw the molt accurate and certain information, as to every movement on every part of the French coaft, and in every harbour— Miniflers, therefore, cannot be taken by furprife, though the Citizens of London may be amazed to hear that the French have landed. But though we poffefs fuch means of defence— though we can boat of fuch an immenfe naval force, we cannot help thinking that we ought alto to have recourfe to a kind of armament fimilar to that of our enemy—we would pairs this advantage over them --oar batteries, inßead of being fiativnary like theirs, could accompany our (mailer craft to any place where it might be neceffary to cover them. It is with pleafure we Rate, that while proper ar- rangements are making for the defence of our imme diate (bores, the fituation of Ireland is not overlooked: General FLOYD, with a confiderable army, is imme diately to fet off for that country. He is to be fecond in command to Lord CATNCAIT. Yelterday morning a Cabinet Council was held, when, we underßand, a final determination took I I place with refpee to the additional meafures tweet . - fary to be adopted for the country's defence. The greater part of the regular forces, we have already gated, are to be marched to the coati, where they are to be hatted during the winter,..and the Volun teer Corps are to perform aftual duty, under certain regulations, however, calculated to render their mi• litary fervice as little prejudicial as poffible to the pri vate interefts of the individuals eompofing thofe pa triot bands. Orders to this effete were yefierday very generally ;rued ; and the whole of 'the Corps are to be regularly brigaded on the loth inflant. The feveral Field Officers of the diftria of the metropolis mct the Commander, Lord HARRINGTON, on 'Fuel day, when the different brigades were determined upon. The St. James's, Bloomfbury, Punta of Wat.as's, Loyal Weaminfler, and Mary•la•bonne Affociations, are to form one brigade ; and on the Guards being marched to the coati, thofe Corps will perform, alternately, the Park and Palace duty. The City Regiments brigaded in like manner, are to per-, form the Bank, Tower, and other duties, in that Tuner ; and the Artillery Company, it is laid, will be marched to Windfor. Yellerday morning, his Marasev, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and Prince's SOPHIA on horfeback, with their atteadants, and Princeffes AMELIA and &rata of Glouceller in a coach, took an airing in the Great Park. Her MAJIISTY and Princelies Aucusea and Eel wore, attended by Lady C. Musa, took an airing through the Great Park to Englefield Green, and returned through Egham and Old Wiadlor. Prince(s MART and Mifs GOLDIVICOMY walked to Frogrnore. Two mails from Gottenburgh arrived yetterday, but bring no news. r: hag of letters will be made up at ape Poa Orme to morrow night for Holland.

It is to be hoped dust Scinde-4, n bo is a powerful Prince, and great in mai. tart cal.:cit., will be induced to come in the kesoe.n Lisr BOURNE, OCT. 5. Every thing here is on the alert to receive the enemy : the whole of the t ith Light Dragoons have been ordered from their different out-polls, and are Rationed at }fallings, Boxhill, and South Bourne. Yellerday morning the Suffer and Glouceller. militias marched into this place from Brighton, and are en camped between South Bourne and Pevenfey : they immediately commenced making intrenchments, &c. from the fea houfes, which are to be continued along the coaß to Hollings. The above regiments marched from Brighton on Monday morning with flying camp equipage—on the fame evening pitched their tents near Blackington ; and on Tuefday morning had their camp utenfils packed, and on the line of march in (even minutes. Three regiments of regulat% are hourly expelled to occupy the fpacious barracks ercaed on the Shingles. We have alfo a company of South Bourne Artillery, a fet of fine fpirited fellows.—The 4th Regiment of Dragoons marched into Brighton on Tuefday morning. The army is in the highell fpirits : the brigade I am attached to u in the bell 'late of health, only fir on the hick ;fo fioall a number has never been known. Yelierday morning, about (even o'clock, the ilk regiment of Life Guards were exercifed in Hyde Park. The expertnefs of the men in the management of thofe heavy horfes, and the docility of thc animals them (elves excited great admiration in every Ipeaator. The Duke of Divots sr' al has fubfcribed 5251. towards the fund for railing and maintaining thc Derby Volunteers. The Marquis of HUNTLEY lately obtained a pre mium from the Highland Society for the improve. ment of Black Cattle, for a two year old branded Bull, reared by his Lordfhip. MOORHEAD ' the Compofer, who was reported to have died at Liverpool, is mailer of Lord KEITH'S band on board the MONARCH.

A few days ago, Rosati. Srontuar, upwards of fixty years of age, let off from Newcattle, at day break, and arrived at Tarafide, near Wigton, in Cum- berland, a journey of 66 miles, the fame evening.— He carried a fifising-rod the whole way i • and was fo little fatigued by the performance, that he was in a great hurry the next morning to go and &ear corn. Captain Wait°, of the Britannia, of Hull, about fix weeks ago, in the evening, fell from the gangway of the Roralift into Archangel-harbour, and, pitch ing upon the fiem of the boat, never ;ofe His body was recovered next morning. The body of Mr. CHARLES IGOULDIR was picked lap on the Bathing Ground, near Margate, on Tuef day laft, very much disfigured. Lady Can MOLYIIBII2 met with a fevere aces. dent about three weeks fince, near Dublin. As the was taking an airing in her fociable and four, a boy coming fuddenly on the road with a dheel-barrow, the honks took fright and upfet the carriage in a deep ditch. Lady M01.1'111117E% arm was unfortu nately broken ; but two other ladies who were with her efcaped unhurt.—Her Ladyfhip is fince much recovered. Lail week. Mr. Durso', e, who was lately arretted at Dundee, and committed to Edinburgh Cattle, was liberated, after a Aria invelligation of his condo& by an order from Mr. YORKS, Secretary of State, with permitGon to refide in any interior part of the united kingdom. The following is the anfwer which appeared in a Hamburgh Paper to the article refielling on the con dos of the Prince Regent of Denmark, for am bling an army of obfervation in Holam : " At a period when Denmark enjoys the clearell and the moll enviable profperity, a fitnation which it owes folely to the virtues and the talents of the Prince by whom it is governed, and the wifdom and intelli• genee of its Miniliers, it is impolfible to refrain from furprife and indignation on pet ufing the difgulling article which appeared under the bead Hansburgli in the Misaiwar of the allth of Augufl. It is not eaiy to divine what can be the obj . eet of employing fo unulual a fiyle ; but without entering into this dilcullion, it is not cafy to deny that a Prince has a fair right, and, indeed, owes it to himfclf and his fiihjefls, to place his frontiers in a flatter defence when two armies approach them. Is it to provoke a Power, to maintain the molt rigid neutrality? Is the author of the article in queflion fo much in the confidence of every Court and every Government, as to be able to determine what is the precife moment at which a Prince ought to fepa rate an army, the affembling of which was fuggelled by prudence? In addition to the frivolity and injuf lice of the article, we cannot help taking notice of - the indecent terms in which it is expelled. The appel lation of alit*, Prises has no very definite meaning. This we know, that a Monarch ruling over a confider able (late, but who diffipates its refources by his ar bitrary orders, by unneceifary expences, by robbing the property of his fubjeds, and whole concluet di• vides opinion at home and abroad, and alienates the love and the attachment of his fubjeer, may with firilt propriety be denominated a petty Prince. But it is known, and experience has proved, that the So. vereign of hree millions of people, who founds his empire in the hearts of his fubjefti, who makes his kingdom enjoy the fruits of his confiant labours, and vitae virtues, generofity, and b y, form the ral lring point of the whole nation, by fecuring hi. fron tiers egainfi unjull aggreffion, cannot be called a petty Prince. To this ohfervation it is only necefrary to adds that a writer, to be refpeftable, ought to de rive the eolopee ihis defeription from truth." iPOETIYG INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET, WEDNESDAY, ObT. S.

The perfon of Mifs B. is fimilarly formed to that of her elder fitter, Mrs. Muir, now on the American Rage : her face is expreffive, and her voice is pleating, but not of great compafs. She appears to have- a pit conception of the part, and her general deportment is that of an accomplithed woman ; but her diffidence, lag night, fo far deprefled her exer tions as to throw a languor over Tome part or her performance, which, we are well allured, the will loon be able entirely to overcome.
