seenie3 the general 'opinion in the city, that hos-
tilities will commence within the present summer.
Iti
then BoN•e AKT a itally meditates the invasion of
this country ; if his immense flotilla has not been
concruned merely for the purpose of creating idle
alarm, and encreasing our expences ; we may
hourly expefl an attempt to carry the menace into
execution. After a few days, and the opportunity
is lost, perhaps for ever. That which he dare not
attempt, when opposed single-handed to England,
he will scarcely undertake with a continental con-
federacy upon his back. Had we not been so often
assured of his coming, we should not be surprised
if the hour of the trial was at length arrived.
The army is accumulating upon the opposite coast.
He was expated at Boulogne before the commence-
ment of the present month, and all his Generals,
after having received their instruaions at Paris, had
set out for their respe;Fve posts. We repeat, if he
would redeem the pledge, and maintain the
challenge given in the face of the world, the
attempt of invasion must ►e made without de•
lay. If it be not, he will appear to have courted
and provoked a continental war to cover his dis-
grace, by affording employment for his armies
upon another field, where the risk would not be so
great, nor defeat so fatal.

All the accounts received from Admiral CAL-
DER's fleet by the Malts, arrived at Plymouth on
Thursday, agree in stating, that the Combined fleet,
finding that they could not make Ferrol or Cotun-
na, without ri,quing another engagement, must
have stood for the Southward, with a view to make
Cadiz, or escape into the Mediterranean. In that

case, sanguine expthations continue to be enter-
tained, tha: Lord Nrc.so% must hive reached Cape
St. Vincent, and formed a jun&ion with Admiral
COLLINOWOOD off Cadiz, before they could reach
that point in their southern course. Lord NALSON'S
fleet amounted to eleven ships of the line, and Ad-
miral Cot.Discwoon's is stated at about the same
number, farming a force adequate to the complete
defeat of the enemy. Much impatience is felt for
news from Lord NELSON, as. from the state of his
fleet, a general expettation prevailed that he must
have greatly outsailed the enemy. Some persons
think that his Lordship, having learned Sir It. CAL.
DER'S force, and that Brest, Ferrol. and Cot unna,
were completely shut against thein,has,with Admiral
Cot tiNowoon, spread his fleet from Cadiz across the
Streights of Gibraltar, in hopes of catching the ene-
my in their flight to that quarter, as the likeliest in
which they might reek refuge. The French Admi-
ral, it is said, was informed by the master of a
Swedish brig, which he fell in with on the 19th ult.
that he had passed a small British squadron of six
sail of the line ; this information induced the French
and Spanish Admirals to alter their course, to cut
off and take possession of this fleet ; but, on discover-
ing CALDER'S fifteen sail of the line, VILLENEUVIL
having the weather-gage, made sail to be off again.
The Spaniards being slow sailers, brought the two
fleets in contatt, and the perseverance and skill of
CA coxes rnanceuvres, seconded by his brave Cap-
tains, induced the adion which terminated so ho-
nourably to the British arms.

The Rose. TOMPKINS, from Liverpool, for Phi-
ladelphia, is totally lost on Hoyle Bank.
The Mary, WAD!, from Baltimore, for Varell, is
detained and sent into Yarmouth.
It is stated in a Weekly Paper, that the imme-
diate cause of the difference between Mr. PITT and

ings are ereeted in the Eastgate-street, near St. Mi-
chael's church.

The outward bound Fast India fleet had weighed
from Falmouth, we believe, on Saturday ; but re-
ceived orders to return, and put themselves in
fighting condition. Their convoy was to join them
at seat but they also were countermanded. This
order is supposed to be in consequence of all appre-
hension that some of the enemy's ships may have
slipped out of tires!, during the late ab:encii of
Admiral CoRNwSLLIS •l'he ulcers and passengers
were to remain on hoard.
A number of transports have been takes up by
the Agent viatialling at Plymouth, and are deeply

beer, and water, to refresh Lori: NILLSON'S gallant
fleet, as soon as he is arrived in the latitude of Ca-
diz, or has joined Admiral C01.1120W000. From
the last letters their water was beginning to run
short. Two gun-brigs are ordered wins them as a
convoy.
A letter from Vienna, after the late
disturbances in that city, the details of which we
have already given, concludes with these words :--
" The high price of provisions is certainly oppres-
sive to the peo?le ; but there never was a scarcity,
nor the appearance of a scarcity ; and it is a fart
that the F.ss Patine has, since the peace. sacrificed an-
-wally several hundred thousand dollars for the re-
respea to the prices of the
life. Concerning this per-
Isterious silence Was observed
