Ws regret that we cannot confirm the statement which we made on Saturday, upon the authority of Letters from Deal, respeaing an Insurrection which was said to have taken place at Paris. There has since been no arrival from France, and we think if such an important event had taken place, it must have by this time received confirmation through some channel or another. We arc not with. out hopes, however, that this report is but a precursor of some great and momentous reality,— It is well known that WeeAu has ever been greatly dissatisfied with the Consular Government, and there is reason to believe that a considerable proportion of the French A rm y participates in these sentiments. MoREAU • likewise condemns I very openly the meditated Invasion of England, as a measure absurd, desperate, and impradicable ;. and as the period for the execution of the threat of the Chief Consul advances, there is good reason for supposing that the Army itself may be disposed to adopt the reasonings and sentiments of General lvloaseu. We begin to think, that the threat. ened Invasion, whether it be attempted or not, will prove the downfal of the Corsican Usur. per. We know that intelligence of importance from Paris , has been for some days anxious ly 'expeeqed here, and we entertain the hope that it may not he long before we hear of some thing that may prove highly satisfadory to the 13ritish Nation. In the meantime, however, we would earnestly recommend 'a prosecution of those spirited and vigorous exertions for the General De fence, which we have reason to believe, have in the same proportion damped the hopes . of the Enemy, that they have excited the admiration of the world, and placed our Country beyond the reach of misfortune. A respettable American 'Merchant who came lately from Paris, began to be alarmed for the fate of England, when he saw the formidable preparations which were making in France. When he reached 1.,n - eion, however, and witnessed the spirit that animates the British Na tion, and the vigorous measures that were pursuing for our defence, he acknowledged that he felt per. feetly easy with respeet to the event, as these far surpassed in energy the preparations making in France. Let us complete our System of Defence, by our valiant Citizens who have taken up arms in their Country's cause, making themselves as good Soldiers as the nature of Volunteer Service will per mit—We may then rest upon our arms, 4nd view with tranquillity the storms which we are convinced arc once snore about to agitate the political hemis. phere of France. THE Publin Mail of the 25th arrived this mntn. ing. The Trials of the Rebels commence on the 3ist instant. The accounts from the Country con. tinue to he'satisfaetory, inasmuch as no fresh at. • tempt has been made to interrupt the public tran. On Friday evening they Rovto. FAMILY walk.

HAM, Senior Officer on that Station, and• Mr. ICEN NEDY, the Purser of the Princess of Oranigt for Ships 4tores. Capt.CtottiNotiAt t t had, previous to theHawke's leaving the Texel, gone close into that Port, and discovered Eleven Sail of Ships of War, of various descriptions, rigged and rigging. The Priiims of Orange, formerly the If'shiligtop, was so close in as to be . discerned by the people along the coast; a sight,. no doubt, extremely mor. tifying to the 'already miserably huntiliateti landers , .—the finest Ship the States could ever boast, employed blockading a Port she: Was originally in. tended to adorn and protea. • By 'every account from Fishing' Vessels, Neu. trals, F.:c. that have been boarded coming from thenCe,the Dutch, look with much confidence for delivery from; or amelioration under their despotic bailie Rulers (whose rapacity is only equalled by their. insolence, and whose ass of violenei to levy taxes and issue requisitions, dal" not nosy even be nude a subjea of conversation, much more or elks. cn:lsinn) to the general preparations now making•ip England. how much their eyes and their hearts than described while their ardent prayers, and most solenin invocations to Providence are, that some chance ball, or happily directed weapon, may reach the heart of the faithless, vain disturber of mankind, the proud insulting Corsican, who sways with an iron hand, a pampered mind, and ambitious head, the Gallic Sceptre : such indeed is the only hope left these once wealthy, happy, and industrious People. Lieut. GR4wr, commanding the Hawke, is the same aftive and enterprizing Officer who, in the Lady Nelson, of only 6o tons, construaed by the ingenious and scientific Captain SCHANZ, per. formed a voyage• to New South Wales through Van Dieman's Straits, so much to the credit of himself, and admiration as well as advantage of his Country, DHAL, Mc. A.—Sailed the Ranger Sloop of War, Sulphur Bomb, and &wallow Cutter, on a Cruize, Came down the York Man of War from Sheerness, and Tartarus Bomb from Woolwich. Capt. D'Auv ERCNI, Prince of Boutm.ott, who is to have a principal command in a Secret Expedi. tion, is appointed to the Severn, of 4+ guns, at Woolwich. The Cotnpany's Frigate the Corp/nut:Mr, lately arrived from the Easelndies, is ordered to be new. ly rigged with all possible expedition ; when, we. undestand, she will be presented for His Majesty's Service. She is to 'carry so guns, and is a very prime sailer. The But), Sloop of War, early in July, sent into Antigua a very valuible French Prize, having on board 75 boxes of gold dust, 325 elephant's teeth, and 373 slaves from Africa. She-had also captured a Sloop, loadrd with coffee, near Dominique, and cut a fia Ship out of the. harbour of St. Pierre, Martinique. • Four large French and two Dutch West India. men, had early in the last nionth, relag: in the Delaware : a British Frigate was likewise there watching them. The British Brig Adventure, WAINWRICHT, was, on the 6th of Jaly„ in lat. 32. 2+. lung. 64,, 3Q. boarded by a French Frigate of 4.4. guns, Irom St. Domingo•for France, but suffl:ted to proceed, the Republican being unintoimed of the actual corn. mencement of the War. The co/ia.s, arrived at Portsmouth from the Downs on Friday. The Officers of this Ship can. firm the accotriii the luss of the Cedypro, every soul on board of which, it is greatly feared, have perished. The 41-Jo/am also arrived at this Port at the same time. The Naiad, ROBERTs, from Jamaica, for Lon. don, ran On Fortune Island, And was obliged to throw too puncheons of turn, arto 1.0 hogsheads of sugar, overboard, The Gazette of Saturday contains loyal Addresses. to the KINQ from the Coonties of Montgomery, Sel kirk, Warwick, Wilts, Roxburgh, Devon, War. center, Carlow, and Elgin ; the .poroughs of South Milton, Appleby, Chipping Mrycontbe, Montgo mery, and King's Lynn ; the Bishop, Dean and Chapter, Archdeacons and Clergy of Dur.bant ; and the Bishop, Dean and Chapter, and Clergy of Nor wich, . We have the pleasure to announce the safe. arriiat in the Downs of the Hon. East India Company's Slip the Marchioness of Exeter, Cape'. JOHN LOCKS, jun. from the Molucca Islands. Mr. EDWARD K INC, the Purser, is arrived at the India House with his Dihpatchq from the Governments of Ceylon and Sr. lielena. Capt. HuTcHl btu% who tome time since arrived at Madras in she Dirpatch, from Cochin China, brought advices reporting, that the King had' issued an edit by which free ingress into all the Ports of Cochin China had been granted to all English yes. sets, with exemption from port charges and duties of every, description. This exclusive mat of fa. vour to English vessels has been occasioned by the fivourible impression of the national character, made by our Merchants trading thither. Generals Dcssotots and CH morti R, who corn. mind the' Brigand* in St. Domingo, early in July sent a Eq.; of truce on board one of our cruizers, in the bite of Leogane, proposing to the Commander in Chief at Jamalea, to ati in concert , with him againslthe French, and requiring a supply of stores. I'he r,enewal . of 'the war between England and France, had given increased confidence to the ' Blacks whn, on the' ith of July, •had carried their slestruttiveexcursions to the iery..gates of the Cape. _ _ V.arly in July en aimament was assembling at Dominique. The Royals, and some oilier Regi. menu 'had arrived there from Antigua, &c.--Mar. tinique, • it was stated, was the ohjed of attack. The French garrison was sickly. All ihe English at Guadaloupe have been im prisoned, and an embargo has been imposed on all French vessels, in consequence of the numerou s British cruizers which were stationed of the Island some vessels, on the point of sailing fur France, had been obliged to unload. A letter ,from St, Pierre's, M art i n i que , o f t h e ' 3,1 July., mentions, that all British Merchants had been ordered to, eave that Island immediately. All the French ships ~were assembled at 'Fort Royal. Sevecd British cruizers : _were ofF the Island ; but the report of their having Olt 32 sail of French vessels out of St. Pierre's appears tore exagger. ated. It is confidently asserted that France has con. seated to withdraw its troops from the bordert of the ntbo and the Weer, which are to be occupied by Prussian troops, and that Genetal lit.ucHea, .the Prussian Cominandet in Westphalia, has sent orders to several, regiments to- hold themselves ready to march for that de st i nat i On .
