!ALCIZR, without knowing what these dispo,itie.nl
etually were. Admiral CORNWALLIS may be tried

by the Larne rule. Admiral CORNWALLIS took a
wide stretch with his fleet to the South West, hut
he returned to Brest before the e..1.5th, the day on
which the Combined Fleet wit lost sight of.--
Had he remained there until thut time, lie
had a chance of hearing of the enemy, which
he lost by his return. Was the whole, or
only a part of this, and which, the disposition of the
Admiralty ? Sir Roacirr CALDER is also censured
for resuming the blockade of Ferrol with only ei,;!it
ships of the line; but what right has the Print in
question to presume it was his aR ; and if it were a
foolish one, how could Cadiz be considered as barred
against the entrance of the Combined Squadron by
eight ships of the line ender Admiral CULLING-
woon ? And yet this very print, that now boasts
ere excellent disposition of the Admiralty for the
interception of the Combined Fleet, only a few
days back, gave the whole merit of the arrange-
ment to Lord Net.sos ; to him who hunted them
from the West-Indies ; and gave timely notice
of their return to Europe. We have pursued
this subjeet farther than we intended; hut we
know we shall be excused for marking with our dis-
approbation an attempt to prejudge a cau,e of this
importance, and prejudice the public mind against a
man who ought to ►e held innocent, until a fair and
impartial enquiry shall have proved him guilty.

A letter teceived by a respeetable German rionse
in the City, states, that the enemy have Rattail,'
passed the Rhine, and seized a quantity of English
goods. The latter part of this statement gives a
strong fe.tture of probability to the whole. The
letter alluded to is as follows:

nn the Rhine, 9th 1805.
" An aecwitt to list arrived here, that the french have
parsed the and occupied a c,insideraWe apace betas -it

An American vessel from Amsterdam, which ar-
rived at Dover, on Friday, states, that the troops
are all embarked and ready to come ; but a large
force of English men of war, sufficient to cope with
them, being off the Terri, the general opinion was,
the troops would be relanded.
Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, in conse-
quence tf the Arrival of Lord NILSON. at Ports-
mouth, Mr. E tSTWOOD. the Admiralty Messenger,
was sent off with dispatches by the Lords of the
Admiralty to Mr. Port, at his house at Wimbledon.
A continn mon of lights, which had the appear-
ance of an illisminatioa, was seen from Dover
along the French Co.tst during several hours on
Friday night, and extended from the commencement
of the Cliffs Westward of Calais to Boulogne Bay.
Hlee lights and rockets were let off, at intervals,
along the coast, during the time. It is said by some
people who pretend to know BOSIAPARI L'S nativity,
that it was in celebration of his birth-day—others,
that they were trying the night signals.
The Somerset-house Volunteers are to be inspeaed
by their Lieut.-Colonel, Sir A. S. HAMMOND, at
nine o'clock on Thursday morning next, when that
gallant officer will address them on the subjeet of
the threatened invasion. The striliest orders have
been issued, no member of the Corps is to be absent
from the buildings for 12 hours, without notifying
to the Commanding Officer where he is going, and
where he is to be found ; and no member is to leave
London upon any pretence whatsoever, without
leave of the Commanding Officer.

An extract of a letter from Dublin says—" Lord
ATONSIORR has arrived from England in a very
dangerous state of health; he is dropsical, and it is
feared has an abscess in his chest ; his lire is despair-
ed of. The Connaught Circuit has in consequence
been fixed so late as the 30th of September.
The Gazette of Verona has, by authority no doubt,
contradicted a number of lies in the Attnitrur, the
ohject of which was to make the world believe that
Austria was perfectly content with the fate of Ge-
noa. The article in question complains of the gross
impropriety of publishing the letter of the Genoese
Secretary of State to M. the Baron GIUSTI. an-
nouncing the termination of the latter's functions,
the re-union of Genoa to France, with Baron
Guisres reply, and the Gr.noese Secretary's rejoin-
der. It is utterly denied that M. GUIST! took his
leave in the watal liwmf: or took the imperial arms
from his hotel ; bPCAUV. as is very justly remarked,
he could not get back his credential, from the Cc-
aoese Government. as its form had been completely
changed. The fati is stated to The Baron
Goisrt asked of his Sovereign, the Estereon,
" perrnission to absent himself from Genoa. This
" is the only (eve which he could have. The calve
" he took of the Genoese Government estended no
" farther than obtaining of passports, and his pay-
" ing the honours due to the representative of so
" great a monarch as the Emperor of the French.
" wish respe& to the termination of his mission, the
" Baron declared at the beginning, that that de-
" pen Jed sJlely upon the will phis Sovereign. He
.• continued, therefore, till eh_ moment of his
