The Speculator Lugger arrived at Dover yesterday from the British' SqUatiron . , which was left lying at anchor about, three miles from the French Coast. The French were evidently In ex peaation of an attack ; nn itntnense number of Gun-brigs were moored in a. line, close under the Batteries.---Wo have Made arrangements for obtain ing the cutest intelligence from Dover of the reult of the Intended Attack. :CT has been stated in several of the Public Prints that the Troops under the Command 'of . Gen Do 11.2 d arrived in the Weser. We have very little doubt that they have arrived at the, place of their destina - tion, bat Government have not yet received any of ficial altelllgence upon the subjeet. Ws have been favoured with the sight of a private T.,etter from the nagne, dated the nth inst. received by the last Hambargh Mail, which says-- " I can assure you of a fadt, which better than pur °ma►.'tl Gazette evinces the spirit of our Omin. try—When the exaggerated news of BosTAraivrz's Viaories arrived, every. countenance .bespoke sad ;less and melancholy Whilst, op the contrary, the unadorned news of Admiral Copwatmwoot) aniniat ed dullness itself, and nothing was seen bur shaking of [lands, visible smiles, but silent congratulations.

The Obelisk, in its present situation; is justly admired as one of the grandest remains of antient genius—remove it and, its beauty ceases :—but, Sir, what right do we os. sess'to remove it Hand exists there a British Othcer who would volunteer his services on so predatory an at% ?—Leave it , to , the CorSican -*robber and his ma rauding coadjutors to plunder Countries—but let Britons Scorn such deeds.. How would the soul of the departed Hero spurn the idea !---all his honours were British honours, earned at the head ofßritons, and in British Ships :—so let whatever tribute a grateful Nation may, be disposed to pay, be solely* the pro duce of British genius. • _ _ As a devoted admirer of his unrivalled condu& and Courage, permit me to hint an idea for a Co lumn to be erected on the occasion a base representing the . watt'6s of the ocean spread 'with broken masts, yards, &c. four Colt:mans should rise to perpetuate his four great Viaerieti ' The Colinun facing the East, 'where, like the Sur, his glory first . rose, for Aboukir—that faeln o cr the South, for the ataion off Cape St. 'Vincant-that titan& the North, for the atc,tion at Copenhagen, and that facing the* West, where sets the Sqn, for the glorious victory of Trefalgar, where died the Here.:—These should support one grand column crowned. with the Statue of Lord NELSON : all the Colurtuts should be superb ly ornamented with appropriate emblems of his un precedented viaories• gull of the four Columns might be formed of the sterns of the Ship's which he took in the aition it is ;Tient to commemorate with their names, Neptune might be represented in his Car, in full admiration Of the Hero; to whom he is rolotio g i and resigning' his Trident to Fame.
