failed yesterday on a cruise, supposed

by the British frigate Tamer. There
has-been one a long time, mounting
24 guns, of 12 and 18 pounders, and
between two and three hundred men—

our flotps of war. The last account
we hid of her was, that she had gone
to Gurracoa on a cruise. Our ship is
in mat Ration now, & I have been wait
ing all this month for her to return but

The unexpected return of Buonaparte, which
has been announced for the end of the month
in the Official Journal has naturally given rife
to many conjeaures. Some persons assert, that
the rapid march of the Fird Consul has not pre
vented negociations between the French govern
ment and the Court of Vienna, and others pre
tend that Buonaparte's return must be attribut
ed to his being confident of concluding a peace
before that time. The latter report was very
common this morning among the Ministers
BRITISH EXPEDITIONS.
LONDON, JUNE 24.
An expedition of great magnitude is
now preparing in our port. Every sol
dier that can be spared, & every ship
which can be sent to sea will be employ
ed. A train of battering cannon will ac
company the expedition. The absence
of all the French forces from the Coasts
nearest this kingdom, renders the pre
sent a most fit moment.
The whole expedition is expefted to
be ready by the 15th of July.

Truth will out—and although the Ja

this truly virtuous man—although Du
