It was some time' ago the in., tention of BONAPARTE to take- adVaOttig of our unprepared state, and tnake an immediate Ittitasion, and for this purpose open boats woe construned, which, in fine weather and smooth seas, could have transported a few Troops in tolerable safe. ty, but in proportion as the Invasion has been delayed, and as the winter approaches, the means for the transport of his Troops must he varied, The open boats are idid aside, and the French are now con;truditig larger boats With decks, better, calcu..; lated to re,ist tt ternpeettioni AeAstm, and to con vey the Troops Lord Kam', we, utiderstand, made these observations when he was over upon the French Coast reconnoitring about a fortnight ago. As (we do not :pretend t 9 be in the secret; of the Chief.

From this,circumstancer' various inferences have been drawn, all, how . ever, concentrating in the opinion that it is intl%ative either in a nearer or more remote degree a ap. proachiog kosciiitirs with those two Powers, That it must be considered as a preparatory measure . to, the commencement of hostilities, there can be little doubt. We have repeatedly urged the necessity of treat .. i ng Spai n in every pnint of view as an Enemy, and Ministers b e y adopting those suggestions thus late (at least if we may conclude so (torn the present peasute) have acknowledged their justice, no thing having since occurred but what might and must have been, foreseen by every man who at all observet, the situation of Europe with the eye of a Statesman.
