By a Gentleman who arrived yesterday from 'Rotterdam, which place he 'eft on the Ist instant, and had lately left France, .we are informed, thit the discontent at BONAPARTea assuming 'the , Impe. rial Dirlity is universal among all ranks, Civil and Military. They say, that afrer twelve, years fighting, they have merely 'exchanged their law. ful Sovereign' . tor a Corsican.. Tyrant, The fore, ing of Conscripts, and carrying them in carts, and marching them tied to hand, from place' to place, is another .source of disgust.— They' find it also almost, impossible to pay their heavy Taxes without Trade, which is nearly an. siiiiiated. In short, there is a general discontent thrpoghout Frale. The People are, equally dis. guated with the immense multitude of Spies which frequent every public place, and make conversation unsafe. The Trade of Potterdam is totally at a stand, and the. Dutch openly express their detestation of the French, and their regret that they did nor eye more errand assistance to the English last War, in the attempt td rescue Holland from the Tyranny of France. Tits reports . of the warlike preparations of Rtisra still continue it is stated in a private Letter from Hamburgh, that the Russian Fleet has sailed from Revel, which is to he joined by the Fleet from , ' CrOnstadt, and that a considerable Body of Troops. had embarked, which were destined for Ireland. '. Of the latter part of this Intelligence, it is neediest, to.-say that it i.s tOiallY unfounded, although, if Russia takes an active part in the Nyar, we • think it by. no means 'improbable that a body of Russian'Troops may he taken into our pay. Ac, cording to other accounts, great naval preparations arc going on in the Ruisian Ports io. the Black Ses, , : fOr 'the' purpose of transportin - g Troops to Itaily, -to expel the' Frcrich. If the Cabinet'. of St. Petersburg!) hatt.„really. planned any such, lowecli.. Jinn, it must he - in consequence of ,a':-confident :expeeiation - of ao.operation from the Continental PoWers, particularly from Aliaria, because, great as the power of Russia is, she certainly' could mike no impression upon the . French in Italy, without the assistance of the Alistrians. I • • • THE•ptincipal Paper devoted to the cause of Op_ - 'position, contains sonic observations this day upon .the capital of, Ana probable result of the War,. which deserve simile notice, if it is only for their singularity. It semis to have been said down by. Ale Opposition Writer'sql the' commencsment of the late War, as a rule,..always to represent every mode of attack attempted by Great Britain against France, as absurd and inyrafticable, and strenuously to - re. commend the adoptinn of some other plan, which the circumstances of the time rendered it impossi. ble w carry into execution. Last War, when .site . were in Alliance with all the great Pc ers of'the' Continent, we were:told that Continental Ailianeis were ruinous to this.to Country ; that i t was a b sur d ` . .hope to make an impression t-,,11 the iron Frontier of ranee ; ioandtina't !it.. way to carry on t h e ' F 'War t: , td , t to !Jett tiff ~.1941 sssisrance to the R in the liirrt to: ; bot when an attempt was afterwards made to dim", by binding:a conci der;inie body of :rroOps theP,rench Coast, it was exclaimed against, as,the most wild, (.2,o:izotic,. and chimerical attempt.that evet was' Made. Whtr conquered tliegreafer part co. Indies,i . the conquest was rePre,rnted a,c %tit only notbeingad vantageous, butas absolutely injutiOus to this -trf. 'When we Wien in our effori, agains t Sr. Poi. mingo, it was stated to be it Colony of „incalculable value;--but flow tha s t France has iost Sc. Domingo: and will soon lose .her 'other West Indian pos. sessions, why, • 41 , Colonies and -Co mmerce enter nothing into the resources of France ;" and it is o n t h e C ont i nent only , that France cart be hurt. This language is surely a littleinconsistent, froin 'those who have for 'years' :been declaiming against Continental Alliances, ;as the ruin of this Country ; butlt is a very, natural consequence of the late" extraortlinailt 'Coalition, which, if we are not mistaken, will daily; produce inconsistencies, that the ;Opposition .Writers will find. it difficult er difficult to de , fend. \V are also told, that li ttle is to.be e - zpeded from the present Excise a nd Cusiors-hause Itlististers, These Writers ate as unfortunate in f heir s wit as they are in their argurnents, fqt if they agree with It ir.'
