• roused, and we should be able to laugh to &tern the arrogant and insultim throats. of our Enemy. p, While with many of the most judicious Officers in this Country we think the partial success of an Invasion not impossible, we entertain no very strong apprehensions with rcsped to its final result. The difficulties and delays attending the embarkation of a numerous Army► are well known, and after they are embarked, they have in L•ltis instance, to make their passage in the face of a superior and vigilant Naval Fotce—and even supposing that circumstances were . in so miraculous a manner to favour them, that they should reach our shore unmolested by our Navy, they would land in a Country so strong, that Englishmen must all as the part of Traitors if the Enemy make any prCgress, however great may be their force. Every= hedge is a fortification, that, if defended at Id!, must impede their progress, dis. concert their plan of operations, anti throw them into confusion. Their Columns once deranged, Pale llisrnly, With hostile rage, pursues their broken rear, While Massacre, unhidden, cloys his Famine, And cptras the blood pt. France. Insensibility to danger is no charataeristic of true Courage. Thar consists in viewing the danger in its utmost extent, looking it boldly in the face, and encountering it with resolution. While we there. fore wish to impress our Countrymen.with a belief that an pwasion will be attempted, and that its partial success is within the scope of possibility, we do it, not to appal them, or to create feelings of despondency and despair, but to rouse them to a degree of exertion commensurate to the dangers which thus encountered, will certainly be over come. We are convinced that the attempt upon us will be made, or nor, according to our degree of preparation. We have therefote every reasonable motive for calling forth our Energies. .In•place of squabbling about the payment of Taxes, let us not only cheerfully bear the burthens which the neces. city of the times imposes, but manfully come for ward with our personal services in the general cause; so shall we continue to enjoy the peculiar blessings of our Country, and transmit unimpaired to our posterity the honourable charaeter, as well as the envied PitIVILEGES, of TRUE BRITONs! Yesterday morning, about 6 o'clock, Messrs. GURNELL, MAJOR, and SMITH, the Messengers, arrived at Windsor wi►h Dispatches to His JESTY, which engaged Hrs MAJESTY'S attention for a considerable time.

Mr. SCHAW, it appears, left Paris for England a few'clays ago, but when he had gone about thirty miles of his journey; • he Was overtaken by a French COurier, who had been dispatched after him .with orders for his irsune. diate return to Paris. He accordingly travelled back with the Messenger. Lady Econtobtained a pass port for England some days ago, and would have set off from Paris with Mr. SCHAW at the time he left it, but her Ladyship refused to quit her husband, unless she received another.

DEAL, .JULY I.—A very heavy cannonading was distinaly heard here last night from nine till twelve o'clock, when it ceased. Various reports are in cir culation respeaing it ; one which gains most credit is, that His Majesty's Ship Immortalize was firing upon the Enemy's Forts at Boulogne.

Lord MARIAUS BEAUCLERK, brother to the Duke of Sr. ALantes, is appointed to the cuthrhand of the Majestic, of .74. guns. It is MajOr-o:llefiii CAMP 0 ELL that is appointed Passing Officer of the Recruits raised in Scotland for the Royal 'Marines. We stated two days ago the rejiorts of changes at the Admiralty. Changes there 'we have long thought necessary, as that is pethaps.t'ie must itn. pdrtant Department, with a refererCe to our pre sent situation.. Of Lord Sr. VINCENT'S skill as a Naval Commander,, no man doubts ; but the arbi trary discipline of a Ship is ill suited to the trans. action of the liminess of a Civil Department. With out a just confidence where it ought deservedly to be- placed, there will be no zeal, add that system which leads men to thwart, instead of tO assist each other, is not likely to tend to any good to the Coon try. The prevailing idea, indeed, that things in that Department could not remain as they are, has led to reports of changes for the last three months. We mentioned it as a confident belief, that Lord CASTLER EACH is to be placed at the head of the Admiralty. Other accounts say that Mr. YORKE, the present Secretary at War, is to be created Lord Dov it, and to be placed there, yielding his present Office to Mr. BRAGG E. At ell events, it cannot be fit to keep Lord Sr. VlNcstir and his two Lords where they are, if the fault of discordance and dis. union rests with them. is it not some want of De. cision, of Energy and Controul; which can alone have occasioned these things to have remained so long in such a state, and at ouch a time Accounts reached town yesterday from Gibraltar, which-state tote arrival of Lord NELWN'there in the beginning of last manth.• He.brought in with him several valuable French PriAes, captured on his passage. A number of English Metehantmen, ar. rived at Gibraltar from the Mediterranean and Le. vant; were to have sailed for,ETigland on the itch, under convoy. Mr. ARCIIDALL always utters in the House the sentiments cl a true Patriot. 'We hope the observa. tions lately male from so Many respedable quarters, anti among these by Mr. ARCHDALL:, on Thursday night, on the distinguished merits. of the Rnysl Corps of Marines, will render that Corps more an ()Ned of the favour of Government thin it has heretofore been. Mr. STRACHEY, Of the House Of Commons, has laid a very whimsical wager with Mr. ALEXANDER, the Chairnian of the Committee of Supply ; namely, that he, Mr. SrtACH,EY will drink three quarts of waier'before Mr. ALEXANDER. can properly repeat thi question,'' . As many as are of ,this opinion, say Aye ; as many as are•of the contrary opinion, say No," without a blunder. Mr. STRACHEY. relies upon the bad articulation of Mr. ALEXANDER. ' Mr. ST. HOBERT who was recently 9bliged to . leave Paris, was disturbed about three in the morn:, ing while in bed with his wife, and ,ordered to de. part from the French capital within 'the space of four hours. It was in vain that he Pleaded busi ness, the deniands he had to settle, ikc. the Pref:.el of the Police told him his orders were precise .md could not be resisted. When Mr. ST. HUBERT and his lady, anti a female servant, were getting into the carriage, a French officer entered it at the same' time, declaring that it was his positive duty not to leave the party until he Saw them on board a vessel. Such is the blessed land of liberty! it has been generally reported that the Family of the lite Mr. RiC.IIARIXSON will derive an income of zoo). a year from Drury-Lane Theatre, on account of his share in that. property. it would be a great pleasure to us to confirm this report, but we 'are sorry to find that it is wholly without foundation.

A Guard of Honour, composed of 6o Cavalry, and two Companies of Foot, went to meet him out of the City. The Mayor presented the Keys to him.

FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JuNe 12.—The second Division of the Army assembled in Romagna has followed the first, and has entered the Roman States.

At Genoa, all the_ , Aisels.of•War are to be , equipped, and placed at the disposal of the French Government. The report current in Italy, that the Eoglish had occupied Sicily, does not hirhet to appear to he well founded. The Commandant of the Naval Forces of England in the Mediterranean, has declared chat he will treat hostilely the Kingdom of Naple s , and the Pontifical States, if the Frehch occupy those Territories.
