The Queen of France, since the Death

Hair to remain in the most ditheveiled
State, to teftify her Grief upon the Occi

use of the Hand in which the held the

seized her Hand, and exclaimed- - " What

March 23.— There can be no Danger
from a French Fleet attempting to en,er
the British Channel. Our naval Prepara
tions must be woefully neglefted indeed, if
that be not an Attempt more to be wiffied
than feared. The true Ground of Appre
hension is, that a French Fleet, with a
considerable Body of Troops> may have
failed for the Weflindies, which they will
have fufficient Time to reach before any
Force of ours can arrive to oppose them.
The Situation of Dumourier is at
present before Louvain ; he is in considera

Stand there. The Spot completely covers
