WE yesterday, as we mentioned when we inserted Mr. TOOKE'S Letter, received Paris Papers to the 1 2th inst. which, however, contain no one fa& of any importance. Some observations in the Moniteur, on certain paragraphs in our English Papers, respcaing M. OTTO, will be found curious. It is to be re gretted that such observations should have found their way into a British Journal, and should have thus afforded the Monite,ar a pretence for Attack. The manner in which the Official caper speaks of Mr. ADDI NGI ON and his Colleagues, is a proof of the very conciliatory conduCt which Administra tion has pursued towards the. French Govern ment. Of Egypt, no mention is made in these Journals, nor do we yet discover what more the Historian is to remark respeeling the late Attack upon Boulogne. To-morrow His Royal Highness the DUKE of Yottg will complete the 38th year of his age ; THEIR MAJESTIES will receive the Compliments of the Nobility at Gloucester Lodge, Weymouth. Major-General DON is appointed to command the Volunteer Corps of the Western Distria, and is in consequence stationed at Exeter, a central point. The smaller'Corps are forming themselves into one body. The Lieutenancy of Devon are taking the lead in fixing on alarm.posts fur the County to rally round, and on a Staff consisting of Adjutants, Guides, &c. to assist them in arraying the Posse comitatis. Several Gentlemen of respdtability have already volunteered their services to act as such. • Mr. RUSSELL, of Exeter, the great Proprietor of, the extensive run of the western Stage Waggons, has most liberally offered them to Government at any time and place—having t .diretled his Agents to have the same unloaded immediately when call ed on. They write from the Frontiers of Holland, that the Batavian Government, wishing to deprive this Government of all means of becoming acquainted with the preparations and the other dispositions making in Holland and the Isle of Zealand, will not allow any boat or individual coming from•Erig land to enter their Ports, under auy pretext what ever. Admiral- DE WINTER, Commander of •the Dutch Fleet, is at Helvoetsluys. It is almost impossible to conceive' the dtgree of apprehension which the. French . feel at the idea of meeting .us at Sea, notwithstanding their thick ccp'veriv'of glory. One of their Journalists is ex tremely witty"upon Admiral Coßxwm,Lts, for being absuFd-Oough to suppose that the French Fleet had Nenturcid—uot to sea--brut into the .Outer Harbour of Brest, PLYMOUTH, Arc. ;3.

A Ship eof the Line has this evening dropped down to St. Helen's. The St. Fiore's' zo and Sea- Horse Frigates, this day arrived from cruizing on the Coast of France. SHEERNESS, A6c. 14.

Early on Thursday morning a signal was made from the Medusa, for all the Men of War's Boats in the Downs to go ashore which,being obeyed, the Boar's crews were direEled to tow ,all . the Flat..botL tomed Boats out of the Dock-yard of Deal. In less than three hours this service was sompletedi and about twenty Boats launchedinto the sea, and fitted with oars, poles, anchors, powder-cases, Ste. They were then towed into the Dawns. These Bodti are admirably construftecl, and adapted for the pur pose of attacking in shallow water. •They carry about forty men each, and a 24-pounder at the bow. They are easily-rowed, and draw only a foot• and an half, or two feet of water. The Hon. Capt.

Military preparations which the French are making ; upon their Coasti, would have been equally' Tanco , Tom in their charges of criminal negleft on theesso of our. Rulers, if they had suffered those preparations; to proceed without taking any measures to counter. a 4 them. But we believe there is but one opinion respetting the motives and the drift of those nant ::harges ; they are obviously the result of fac e tjous malevolence, and they are designed to lull the N4tion.into a delusive security, that if possible the Enemy may take us by iuririse, ' The declaration which has appeared in the PubliC Prints, purporting to be the answer of BortArAßTg. to the Note presented by M. KALureir, err, in the name of the E . MrEROR of R vsszA, may be genuine, but it does not seem to we ar any marks of authen , ficity. The Chief Consul, in the plenitude of hi* power over the French, might be expefted to ad.! dress other States in a high tone, Writ* he conde-f - scended to answer at all, he is likely to have, adop'" ed a more deciiive‘ language. Indeed the evasive style of the answer alluded to ; is rather calculated to excite resentment than to afford satisfaClion. Grain of all sorts were yesterday on the decline; but the state of the Market is now such, that it iS . difficult to giye the exaCt Price of any article, One of the last French Papers contains the follow" : ing method for preserving Corn that has been 'gag" • • ed, by rain. , As soon as t he Corn is heat dovini•it should with all possible dispatch be colleCted into sheaveq.anfl stead of being piled upon one another,. each sheaf should be set on end, the blade being uppermost. Several of these sheaves should betied together tight, near the blade, so as to make the whole mass - smaller at the top than at the bottom, They are again t 6, • be tied quite close to the. top, and the ears then opened out like an umbrella, so as to form a kind•of gutter for the water to, run off. Whereas, - in, the. ordinary mode of piling up the Corn together,, tber: water lodges, and it is necessary constantly to open' the sheaves in order to dry them. • At Lansdown Fair on Monday, there was a to. lerable,show of fat and lean cattle; the .foriner ex- perienced a ready sale, but extravagant pikes . b 6 .- ing clemanded for the poorer sort, the - greater part • remained unsold. Eight ptime Herefordshire oxen), fine in stature, and in good condition, fetched 2001. Sheep and lambs were dear. Of horses there were but few, and those chiefly of low quality.. There was a large quantity of cheese, which sold at the ' following reduced prices :—Best. Coward, train 4 4S. . to s4s. per cwt, Half Coward from 32s.'to 365. and a.considerable part remained unsold.
