r- 4 -. THE BRITISH PRESS. .LONIX)N, TUESDAY, AtMurt 1. We have received Near-York Papers to the 17th last, hut but astir mitten.* are destitute of iuttreat. We Mare received Prove Gittettes to the 13th July, but the *bury movinueuts and operations, which they notice, have bona divested of any inte rest or importai u •e to whieh they could ever make a claim by the Armistice of Z 1141114 of the 11th of July. • • The van of the Expedition, which sailed from kainsgate an Friday, was only the Ist ulivisom, and did lint consist of two divisions, as hos Iseult stated i n mat of the papers.—The 2J division slid not sail from Hainsgate until six o'clock on Saturday morn ing flee Harwich division sailed oil the stow The third division sailed from the Downs al. Sun day. The wind low uontinued favourable, and we understand'that Government ex peetto receive some account of the progress tit the armament iti tie cour►e of this night, or early to-mot-low morcim 4 . The nerri.mtrx means fur facilitating early commu nication from the wene of operation have been pro vided, among which are a series of cutters, statien ed as signal vessel=, Po far as such a plan is practi -tathle between the English and Dutch cua.ts.— • We mentioned, y e•ti- relay, a report at Dover, on Soturday, that iiitelligeoce had liven re caved of the surreoder of rhistinig. without °pooping.), and that this rumour was nut cre dited, as there was not time for any part of the Experbuoil to have reached that point, so as to be able to pot us in possession of the result. Our Dover Correspoodent, in his letter of yesterday. mama." this objection, by suiting that it was the naval force previously employed on that station which was engaged in this operation. This lettesi bays, that the three ship* from the Downie,, sent do reinforce the squadron off FloPhing, having anima op Tues. day last, the French SqUiall mit whit:Mud come dawn the river returned up the Scheldt. Sofas pilots then came out of Flushing, and assisted our ships to enter the harbour, which ►hey did without opts°. sition. the French auu their party having previous. ly left the town. if this statement be correct, we way presume that the English 'army is io actual pospiersio of the place. It is certain, indeed, that ►he Lard Nebo* packet arrived on Saturday in the Downs, with an account that the French ships haul returned up the Scheldt. Two Me*. stagers also arrived in town o:i Saturday, from the shoal-Alps in the Downs, with, we believe, a similar account to that brought by the Lard ft.hos. Accorling to another report, the French had eva cuated Walchereth and returned to Autogiro, • threatening the inundation of the country, on the arrival of our armament off that place. It was also added, that the crew* of the French vessel► had deserted them, and gone into the interior. We may believe, that all these reports are premature, and foundA upon the retest of the French vessels up the Scheldt. If Fortune, in her utmost malice, had contrived any event, calculated to display, in the strongest point of view, to the undemanding' of the people of this country, aIA of all Europe, the utter incapacity and inability of the present Cabinet. to extricate as from our actual embernisamenta ; it could not have been accomplished so effectually, as by the Armis tice just concluded between France and Austria. So extraordinary, assisted, so provoking. and so op portune, has the isteltigence been of this Conven tion, and its transsimisso from Boulogne to us, at the moment when nine armament seemed ready to proceed to its slestinalfses ; that. ostwithstanalin our experience et BONAPARTE'S velocity of action. we hive not yet recovered from our astonishes's% at the fact. Scarcely cau we even now believe it real, or consider the House of Austria ;as altogether crushed, because the battle of Wagratii was lost. But, how, let us ask ourselves, has this Comecon Commander, whose paramount abilities challesige our admiration, so less than his atrocities and crimes excite our abho r rence ; how has he, in three mouths time, overturned the Monarchy, and dispersed the armies of Austria ? We reply, and we undertake to demonstrate, with the clearest evidence, that he has effected so arduous a task. by precisely an opposite line of policy and of action, to that which character 'ises the counsels, and dictates the plans of His MA JESTY'S present Ministers. In order to set this troth before our ilea with mathematical precision, it is only necessary to review the great °utilises of NAPRLeoe'a campaign just terminated ; and to contrast it with the imbecile, as well as ruinous plan, pursued and pursuin4 by the British Cabinet, in every quarter where they . have directed their aims soil operations. The conclusion will be irre sistible. Almost from the period of our expulsion from Spain, in January last, it was lialpatfle, and must have been known to Ilia M&SESrlr's confidential scr sints, that Austria had determined once more to take up arms. In fact, Lux AAAAA K quutted Cale. tile early in February, to return to Pans. The imperial Guards were rrealled /is March, and scut to Stramburgh.
