MONDAY, DI CEVIIII II 30
Many transports are now assembled in the Downs,
Kith detaclimmus of s.:Yeral regiments lAtely sailed
fin the Continent, and wnl follow the army immedi-
ately ; the Sth Foot is Al.o embarked. And will sail
with them.

Leop.m!, and cor.voy, %bah trnibps, which
idled from the Downs sin Sunday, have arrived in
the West r.

We have authority to state, that no intelliger -e
if the arrival of the //i,,:ottaa m in of war, with li:r
convoy (carm.,l6,n, li-nt/ham.
.':uresy, Lord Dun:on, Walpole, Earl Hoke, Char;ron.
Ocean, and Ceylon), has been received at the bast
India House.

We have received New York Papers op to the
39th last. On the 24th there was a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerze in that City, when it was
resolved to present a remonstrance to the Govern-
ment on the violence cr•mmitted by France an.,
Spain on the American trade. This subje6 con.
tinues to excite much discontent and anxiety in t!:r
United States. The frigates lately returned from
the Mediterranean, and which were to be paii

Sc ordered upon immediate service in the American
seas. The Congress and Consietiatesin frigates, which
had proceeded to Washington, there to be laid up.
have, in consequence of counter-orders, returned to
Hampton Roads, and were, on the ‘22.1 ult. on the
point of sailing on a cruise.—The Adams had sailed.
and four osher frigates were under orders to fol-

low.
The objell of these arrangements is not declared;
but they are generally undetstood to be for the pur-
pose of prote&ing the commerce of the I.73;ted States
against those alts of violence of w!jch the Ameri.
calls complain. 01 these complait:ts, the English
are as irclitently the subjed, as the French, or
the Spaniards, but not with equal justice. Will
the magnitude of the frauds praelised against this
Cousin y, under Ow protection of the American Flag,
the public are well acquainted ; and in the exercise of
our right to dared, prevent, and crush them, the in-
nocent trader will, of necessity, firquently sufFerlo,s
and inconvenience. The fault then lies with the
Americans, who prailise these frauds, and not with
England, who only seeks to defeat them. This
principle is too clear to permit us to suppose that
the American Government entertains an hostile dis-
position towards this country. Its nav4.l pre-
parations are, more probably, direaed against
Spain, with a view not to a:111AI war, but to
overawe and intimidate her. This opinion is
strengthened, by the arrival in the Floridas of some
troops from Spain, which must necessarily increase
the anxiety of the American Government for its
interests in that quarter.
About 1300 men have arrived at Pensacola, four
hundred of whom were taken out in the Pomona fri-
gate, and others were expelled from the Ilavannali.
It is likewise stated, that a considerable body of ca-
valry has appeared on the Western (American)
frontiers; and that the Marquis De Cassa CA uvu,
had left New Orleans for Nachitoche, on business
connefled with these movements.
We are happy to find that honour and attentioa
paid in America to the gallant, modest, and ah:e
General Aloe Lae, which he was refused in his own
ungrateful country. Ile, of all the innocent vinirns
of the jealousy, craft, and cruelty, of the Corsican,
has the least cause for complaint. He surely canto
call that a sentence of banishment, which drives Wm
from a country where he found no congenial spirit,
arid thlip,es him to lice among a people, the ardent
iends of rational liberty, who know how to esti-
mate and respal his merits.
The New York Papers al.n c 'wain some i•r•
teresting particulurs respecting the late insurrc.-
tion and massacres at AI viers.

Three llansburgb Mails became title yesterday.
Their arrival is expeaed with great anxiety, as, in
the present abje.t state of the Continental press,
they are the only sources of early authentic intelli-
gence from the theatre of war. We stated, on SA.
turday, the arrival of a Dutch Paper of the l 7th.
We have translated from it au acc.runt of the battle
of the 2tl instant, at Austerlitz, in Moravia. said to
have been principally colleeted honing Vienna Court
Ga:ette. The Vienne Comet G.s. tut is an imposing
name, but our leaders must be aware, that TA LLt T.
'AND, and the other tatricaters and forgers of Bu-
APaiti e, are its present editors. The article is given
in the last page. Ir woula be a waste sal t•a.• to de.
