Hat tho’ there existed a great diversi
ty of opinion refpefting the form of gov
ernment finally to be adopted in France :
Yet they seemed unanimous in the resolu
tion of fording the Belligerant Powers to
acknowledge their right of choosing what
form of government, and what laws they
please, and of compelling their enemies to
sue for peace—to effeft this objed they
have 700,000 regulars, partly in the field
and parly in garrison ; that notwithstand
ing this force, they have called out the firft
class of their citizens, who have already a
mounted to 420,000 ; these they are train
ing in their fortified towns ; thus to be
ready by next Spring to take the place of
their regulars, who are then to ad on the
ofFenfive, by invading the territories of their
enemies—that next Spring the second class
is to be organized, in order to be ready to
succeed the firlt class, who when properly
disciplined, are to march to the assistance
of the regulars; thus every class is to be
called, as their services become neceflary,
until not a man is left in France, or they
make their enemies sue for peace. There
are fi s ty fail of fir ft-rate ships of the line
building and equipping at Brest, to be
ready by April next, (it is believed for a
descent on Engla: d) they have also em
bargoed all the merchant vettels in the dif
ferent ports to aft as tranfpom ; and they
have certainly a revolutionary party form
ing in England, to favour a defent, (hould
the expedition now forming be sent there.
That rhe affairs of France are so far def
pefate that all there former resources are
exhanfted ; that the mode in which they
procure the necessaries for carrying on the
War is by fixing the price of the articles
(such as iron, &c.) at a certain rate, and
then taking th? p openy of any individual
to buy them up with ; that their decrees
ate executed by force. Such is the mode
they have from necefilty adopted, and all
views of commerce are abandoned until the
close of the war.

place or net, they were not able to tell ;

heard that some of the English ships (those
which were the belt failers) purfoed the
French, came up with them, when an en
