SEVERAL corps of troops
have just arrived along the
coasts of maritime Flanders. Can-;
conmenti are to be formed from
the Sudde-Gand to Duokirk.—
Twelve battalions are still expea-!
ed from the bordersof the Rhine, §
We are assured that part of these;
troops will be lent into England,
where they will be embarked, toJ
be debarked on the firft oppor-;
tunity towards the north of Eng
land.^ ft is certain at least that a;
vast pojed of attack is prepared
against chit arrogant power.

Another detachment has just
been made from the army of Ger

“But it is whifoered abroad
