To the Freemen of the City and County
PARI S, June 12.
IN spite ofour conjectures relative to an approaching
pacification, a formidable expedition composed of
60,000 men, under the command of the c®mte de Stain
ville, is currently talke&of, and it is certain, M. del
Langeron, who commands the land troops at BrefE
has given orders to all the regiments in that quarter,
to hasten their preparation for departure; they add!
that the Marechal de Broglio, will have a large fharc
in this expedition, and that he will take the command
in the moment of execution. We are assured that for
fifteen days past he has not quitted Versailles, and thafo
he has had frequent conferences with his majefly.
The marquis de La Fayette is to set out immediate"
Iy for Brest, from whence he is to return to Virginia;
before the equinox Whenever this young hero ap
pears in public, he is received with transports of uni
versal acclamation; flattering tributes which the
French nation pay to men of merit.
It is calculated that, with the exertions now making,
there will be 131 line of battle ships in commission be
fore the end of the present year.
June 28. A letter from Antwerp mentions, that •
Dutch have in the Maefe nine men of war, five of which
are cf the line, just ready for sea, and fuppoftd te be
intended to join the squadron at the Texet.
L ONDO N.
June 18. It has been represented to government
that there are in the forefts of Ireland, oak timber of
the firft quality fufficient to build thirty ships of the
line.
They write from 'Jerfey, that the naval force which
the French have in Concale Bay, and the troops on the
ide of Oleron, oblige them to keep a firia took out
especially as the flat boats at St. Maloes, hauled up
for the winter, have been lately launched.
A letter from Copenhagen fays, that four more fhipg
of the line and two frigates are ordered to fail as soon
as possible from Elfineur, to join their fleet in the Me
diterranean, which are cruifiog there to prated their
merchant ships from being taken by the Moors ; and
when joined, they are to fail for Algiers to demand a
Danish ship to be released which they lately took, and
the crew to be delivered up; and in case of a refufal
to bombard the town.
They write from Brest, that M. de la Motte Picqwet;
having demanded permission to go to Rennes, and from
thence to Paris; could only obtain of the minister, li
berty to go to Rennes, and informed him at the fame
time, that he was deflined to Command an expedition
spirited, daring and glorious, in which he would have
an opportunity to exhibit all his zeal and aOivity.—;
It appears in eftxt that there is some grand expedition
going forward ; the marine detain all merchant ships ;
they are making very considerable provision for said
forces, and preparing camp equipage for 40,000 men.
Besides the troops already on the coaf lof Normandy,-
others are daily coming in. Every one are making
their conje&ures on the project of the ministry ; bat as
nothing transpires, it will be too tedious to mention
all the political reasoning on the fubjed of the present
preparation.
