GHENT, JILT 29.

We hear that his Imperial Majesty is aftively em-
ployed, not only in inspeaing the flotilla at Bou-
logne and the camps along the coast, but in every
thing necessary to promote the success of the expe-
dition against England.
A rumour has been propagated, th It a part of our

armament had already sailed in the presence of the
Emperor ; but afterwards it was found out,
that it was only a convoy and ..‘too gun-boats from
Calais and Dunkirk, which had sailed. and arrived
at Boulogne. The enemy appear to be very atten-
tive to the movements of our arm:. and navy. The
moment of attempt cannot be distant, though it is
believed that his Majesty will, before the expedition
sails, review both the sea and land troops destined
to invade England. Ili' Majesty is daily expefted
both at Dunkirk and at Ostend, where detachments
of his Guards have already arrived.

The Minister of the War Department, Decree. has
arrives! At Boulogne frosts Havre, where he has been
to hasten the departure of the centre of the imperial
flotilla for sea.

NAGUC, AVOIST 4.

According to letters from Vienna, of the 18th
ult. the mediation of Austria has been offered to
restore peace between England and France.
According to recent letters from Val is, the Rus-
sian Charge do iffairrs still continued there ; hat,
at the departure of these letters. it was reported
that he had already demanded his passes to leave
France.
Letters from Ghent, of the Ist instant, mention,
that the day before a severe cannonade had been
heard along the coast, from the Mouth of the
Scheldt to Boulogne. The English pay, however,
particular attention to what goes forward at
this last place. They make diversions, and attack
several points on our coast. But the Emperor,
who has been present and witnessed these attacks,
has taken such measures, that if the enemy should
return, he s;iall be received as he deserves, and
nothing shall impede our undertaking when the
troops are ready or ordered to embark.
The Minister of the Marine has frequent confer-
ences with the Emperor in the presence of the Mi-
nister of the War Departm.• nt, and of the commas-
ders of our army and navy. It is yet uncertain when
his Majesty will leave Boulogne, though he is every
:nomer t roected at Calais, Dunkirk, and Ostend.
They write from Antwerp, of the date of the 2d
inst. that a conspiracy has been discovered among
the soldiers of the 112th Regiment, chiefly Bel-
gians, se:.o formed a plan of desertion over
to England. The ringle..a.le.s have been already
carried before the Military Commission of the '24th
Military Division at Br assets, and will probably be
shot.
