It was yesterday reported that Bonaparte
had suddenly returned toParisjnconfeqnence
of the hostile motions of the Austrians on the
fide of Italy, but this intelligence requires
confirmation.
The King of Prussia has countermanded
the Army if Observation which had been
forming in the neighbourhood of Wefel, un
der Gen. Blucher ; a small cordon only is
to redrawn on the Prussian frontiers. What
makes his Majefiy so very eafv with regard
to the neighbourhood of the French ?
The ex pences of the King of Etruria's bu

The French force in Italy, has been so
augmented, that it should seem as if the
French Government were not without ap
prehensions with refpedt to Aufiria. The a
mount of the!/ force is 110,000 men.
The French ^re having great quantities of
fllip timber felled in Hanover.
The news of the blockade of the Elbe, by
the English, has, as might be ^xpeaed,cauf
cd the utmost degree of consternation among
the merchants of Hamburgh ; all business is
at a Hand colonial productions are immensely
high, nobody being willing to fell, while
corn is falling as much, there being no buy
ers. Theoniy hope is, that Prussia, whose
trade will fuffer, will, in conjunction with
Puiffo, take some effectual mealure to put an
end to this crisis.

Letters from Dwer. yesterday, represent
the preparations making on the Coast of
France for the Invasion of this Country, as
extremely formidable ; and that the better
to conceal them, all the English at Calais,
Boulogne, &c& are ordered to England in 48
hours, or to retire into the interior of 1 rance
even though they should have resided in these
townsthe most part of their lives. It is said
8000 gun-boats ate to be built for theattack
of this country. The number feerns to be
incredible, but France undoubtedly has vast
means for building them, and many veffcls
whithin her power which may be converted
to that purpose. While some of our conn
trymen are shewing the improbability of in
vafion, #< the French cannot well land horses
pnd artillery ; it is possible they may throw
many thousand of their heroes on our Ihotes
with muskets and bayonets in their hands
ammunition and provisions on their backs,
who may do the mod serious mifchief.

SUMMARY.
By the arrival of the Ihip ^ at Phila-„
delphia London advices hate been received
to the 22( IJuly up to this date, no gteat ev
ents had occurred; the details however of the
preparations making by France for an inva
iion of England, & those making by the lat
ter for preventing its fiiccefi, are interfl
Indeed theaccounts, for the most part,
of details of this nature. The prepaJ
on the French and Belgic coast are carffi
with unremitting attention. Every enct
ment is held out to feamft in the i(tinfU;
and the foldiefs already pant for war,]
are their enthuliafm and their expe&al
Bonaparte, it is said will command in [,
and have Berthier his cheif of the
attack is to be genral, but prinepiafty m g
ed from the ports of Dunkirk, B nilognU
Calais—eight thousand gunboats were &
ing with all dispatch. On the fide ofl
land, every male from 17 to g 5 is liabß
be called f >rth, and must regularly be '
ed to the use of arms—a number of til;
fociations of London had offered their fe=
es to government, which had been accel
and a valetudinarian corps, confining
nob'emen's sons, &c. to the number
thousand, was to be raised in the neighi
hood of Bond (treet,who are, as it has U d
well remarked, tobemennted on goed flfi
es. The custom hoefe officers, and others
son in the pay of government, have fortS
themselves into military bodies ; but we
nothing to shew that the great body of till
people are following their example. The
government has been very careful heretofore
to keep the fw!nijb multitud in ignorance of
the pfe of fire arms, left they might be tur
ned against itfelf ; it now finds, that in the
people must be placed all hopes—should
they join in eppofing and repelling the
French, it may be reasonably asked, will they
lay down their arms and again bend their
necks to the domestic yoke? The profped
certainly looks unfavorable for the fupporter^
of the British confutation, and the defamers
of outs, who are now laboring in this country
Next to the date of French & British pre
parations, the furrendcr of the Hanoverian
army to the French is most interfiling—the
I officers only are permitted to retain their
arms. The British cannot cmplain of
Hanoverian cowardice, when the son and
representative of their king shewed such a
driking example
The aufwer to the representations made by
England to Russia, in confcquence of the
occupation of Hanover by a French army, is
said to be by no means favourable ; and the
closing of the Elbe, to the interruption of
neutral commerce, is fiifpeded to have oc
casioned diffatisfatlion on the part of the
Northern Powers.
The difeudions refpe&ing the claims of;
Americans for captures made by the Britifli,
during the late war, have been closed. The
claims allowed amount to 1,200,000!.' —of
which 400,000 have already been paid.—
