TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN; frx , fir ,d the lath I stated a . few days ago have attraded the notice of' your Correspondent Frrr. ALatoN. I could not suppose that either Mr. ADD! NGTON or his Brother, who had'been raised by Mr. PITT 10 every thing they enjoy, could VC been, guilty of such base ingratitude as to be the circulators of falsehoods tending to traduce his cha. ind upon, inquiry I found that neither of them had circulated the libel to which I alluded in the Near Obierver. I am far from justifying , the former however for suffering his Dependants to ,promote the circtila. tion of that work, which Tam equally aware they have done; and I agree that Mr. ADDINGTON should not be neutral upon inch an Occasion—bur there is surely mire difference . between Arritryho anti aaive • The Calumnies and Falsehoods d the Near O6_ server ate very, generally admitted—The 'zeal of friendship often proves injurious to the cause it means to serve--and there is nothing more, evitlent than the impnlicy of those who think they serve Mr. Ano N roN by circulating that work. This is the lesson I would give, to the Secretaries of the Treasury. A COUNTRY GEN'T'LEMAN. Londort, oli. 3. TO THE EDITOR OF TILF,'. SUN.

We yesterday announced the arrival of a regular stilts of the Paris Papers to the 23a alt, but their c Oiltentt have beta in a great degree anticipated by the Mails, ,The accounts from every part of she Coasts of France, Flanders, and Holland, ,con. cur in representing the preparations for Irmo_ sign as formed upon the most initnense scale, and carried on with the most unremitting anti. vity. But when we recolleft the unifotm dispo. sition of the French to exaggeration ; when we know that the French Papers dare not insert a line that .is displeasing to the Government, we may, without being thought very incredulous, (lonia a little both witit regard to the txtcnt and the forward. ness of those Preparations. The invasion is, it is baid, to tic ,itt,otpted fro n different quarters; this, indeed, is wi much a measure of necessity .as of policy, for the Enemy would find it • imPradicable to colleCt•their Naval Force in one point. The principal part of the Forces destined for' the invasion, are, it is said, to be collated between Bruges, (Mend and Blackcabarg; :another Army is to be assembled iii Not;tnapdy and Britine, protaly with a view to make tin attempt upon Ireland. In Holland, the preparations are equally great ; and; ss hat more .extraordinary, are said to be carried on with eqnalaelivity. First Consul was expated to leave Paris about the hit ter end of last month, with' the intenion of . visiting Boulogne, St, Omens, Wintiort, Binges, Obrat, and Ant. Icp p ; hot whether he will .expose, his person, by taking the command of thel4xpedirion i or whe. the: he will merely soperintend the embarkation of the Troops, is not yet known. 'lt is mist probable that he will wait the re.ult of the.first Attack, with the view, if it should fail, of escaping the, disgrace of &feat, The Expedition from Holland is to sail in three divisions, VIZ. 'fmm 'the Texel, Helvoetslilys,. and Flushing, each under the coin.' maid of a Rear Admiral. They will, however , endeavour probably, to l'orin a kinetics!), at sea, as Admiral De I.Viwrest is to have the command of the whole Fleet. The accounts which the French Pipers give of this' Bombettlments of Mille, Grateudle, &c. are such we might naturally have eypeded ; irt no initance did they sustain any injury, except the knocking clown a few chimneys, and breaking a few ~ vinclows, At 06w:idle, the 24th I Demi.brigacit, who were in wirrison, were Ro incensed at the atr,itlt of the English, that they had it in serious conterni tion to mirth cut and charge the English Squadron with their &veil,* I In the Afortitivir of the 2zd we find an c.slLial count of the arrival ar Corunna of the Ships of War k Duireaj Truain and la Giurrieq, from St, Do. mint% on the 2d ult. The Captain of in Cwt.. riere states his having an anion with an English Ship of War for two hours, from which he ‘ficaperl, with his companion by getting into the Harbour, after losing six men killed and fifteen wounded. The accounts from the neque state the receipt of information of the arrival of the Frigates junon, Phavix and de Endracht, with Troops on board in good condition, at Batavia. The military force of chat Colonyis stated at from 6 to 7,000 European Troops. Orders have been,given to taise a consi.' derable Corps of Javanese and of other inhabitants of the Molucca A 1\1.61 horn Dublin arrived this morning with P,lrrs or the 30th alt.
