Intelligeuce has beet. just received from the vi- .
cinity of Lido, stating, that the floullawunder the
common' of !"311' 11. Popham, had been attacked by
neatly lOU trench gun-boats end brags, told that
the result was, as usual, decidedly in favour of ear
navy, although po ,sessing scarcely •hult the strength •
of the enemy. Our vessels have taken three of toe
French hugs, and sunk cue, the Miters sought safety ,
its atejlt. Fhlry have gone op above Lam, ',eat to •
a here the French fleet he. This was the beeeeoettl
flotilla, Which was, iu conjunction with the hit of
Lillo, to hove given protection to the French fleet.
The number of that fleet is now accurately **tee-
tained—tlity +intorno to nine sail of the hoe, Wild
four frigates. • Before they can be atproached; the
ituineneeeham and boom which are placed across the
river must be broken, and the fort of Lido Awe be
passed. The chain is, I understand, considerably
rger and more difficnlt to be broken them that which "
crowd Basque Roark. The attempt -tb break it
was to have liven made, sod probably -has before
now, by the Courageu.r. Captain Plampin. The
distance between Lido and Fort de Lief keuschoeh
is not half. mile, but these batteries are not ...tome.
I sin told by persons of iittelligettce, on whom I
can rely. that the French ships may pass Antwerp,
and Kit up too, high to be followed by our Beet, rf
their notate and guns be taken out. It it still re..
solred to attack Antwerp. It is sta.:ed that-Bona-
.

this force—among these agents was King Louis
himself. lie was at Antwerp cud LI:lo on Sunday

The Royal salutes upon his arrival at each of these
places were heard by our vessels. Same deserters
leave since come over to us, who saw His Whey,
mid %e h° describe him as very eager to ferns the
14qm-stint's of resistance against uric &Beek. The
report of these ilesertera,:io... ever, as to the nature of
the French force, is very encouraging; but who ever
heard any report ors tootrary iutture trim* deserter ?
Among these deserters are some Hunoveriaiss, who
state that the whole trce ussembled in the vicinity •
of Antwerp does not. exceed 15,000
they consist of persons of di ffereut natiOul,
who were orisonerS of war in France, and who
were forces} trentioi-iit (to escape starve-
non indeed) to enter into the French service.
Tins may be true ; but. I temeredrer that we had
a similar story elsout the garrison of Flushing.
nod it was eyetractiditiary with what eugenic.-
these ill-treated prosesoMs' fought for!the power-
who hso forced them into sen rte. The garrison

lost our owes casuriteymen, who arr. for the most
pert, subject to the suspicion of having before de.'
serted hem War Own army or 14,ity. They state
generally, that they were taken prisoners at Cop.
or or elsewhere, and forced out of
prison to tight egainst their country. But the ei
deuce of the suspicion I have mentioned appears
loom their haring been sent with the French yr.-
totters to England.

general attack upon oar army. The nrieforceo
tricot they did r..ceive final Cadsand was about
4,000 men. It therefore now appears quite en-

Whet, then, with such a force no Cadwerel, was to

French army, who massacred the whole of them.

All the Morning Paper* of yesterday, copying
Tee Gomm of Saturday, announce the return
of Colonel Co' sintvo ; and adopt the opinion
that although the French squadron may have been
withdrawn from the reach of capture, its destruc-
tion, whether by the British forces, or by the enemy
themselves, nti, ht be looked forward to with con-
fidence. Nothing can be more ohvions than
that the enemy, by lightening their ships, by
taking out all their guns and other heavy stores,
would be able to carry them higher up the Scheldt
titan nor ships, fully equipped as they must be, to
be of nay rase, could isnisibly go. Equally deer it
is, that ohatructioo may be thrown in the wai of
wmir approsicb, by !sliming bibotns acrteis the river. or
sinking old vessels. We do not. therein , believe that
it will be possible to being our ships of the lii.• to
bear upon the enemy's squadron ; lout that it a by
making ourselves masters of the bank, of river.
Ei the vicinity of its place of vertigo*, we expect to
effect its destruction, should not the ettenit• antici-
pate this fate, by setti.ig tire to their own vessels.—
This is the most brilliant and extensive view which

were the poiats to which they invited the public
hope sad attention ; and these who dared ,to think
',Where're, were stigmatised, in their base and venal
calumny, as traitors or fools. Tt would be amusing,
'if4 were not degrading, to see with what facility
thar sons of Prowess can tissuone all *loupes, adopt
all' changes, and accommodate themselves to the
wishes of their employers, however concrarient and
l'eolotraslictory. After rinsing public expectation to
the highest pitch—after stunning the town with the
" ulterior objects" of the Expedition, as if the
taking of Wsleheren was nothing compared with the
achievements which a few days were to develope—
they have now the inodesty to turn round and in-
form their readers, that no people have * right to
exiefet impossibilities from their Government ; and
that, as we are masters of the months of the
Scheldt, the possession of Antwerp and the French
Nett would be of no use; as, under such circum-
stances, it is no longer iu the power of the enemy
to send a single ship to sea. With writers so pro-
! roundly skilled and deeply imbued with the prin.
tildes of the Optimist. w, clo loot mean to dispute.
That country must indeed enjoy No eloviable state
of felicity, in which, whatever may be its disap.
;,ointments, tad-whatever onsy happen to it, every
tho.og is for the best. If, however, the possession
of Walcheren be every thing within the Scheldt.. it
sot rrly must be a waste of time, of blood. and attract-
sure, to pursue the " eilierbr objects" in that rirer.
It must also be an abuse of public credulity, to
have so long concealed. theiinpiortence of Walche-
ten, and excited so expectatitio of achievements, in
Scheldt, to whiali the capture of that island was
Duly the pralede, and comparative& of trivial hon.,
penance.

Whether we consider the present Members who
compose the Ilriti,h Ministry, in their individual
capacities, at Statesmen, or whether we try them by
their I:lie:wires and oper.!;eilis on. the Continent,
during the lust two yews, we see equal reason to
dread, and to de:ireoate the probable, or, rather,
the inevitable ciniseipiwites to he expected from a
combilintiiiii of ignoralice, inefficiency, and want of
inilarged vices. As welt, they may, perhap4rhol-
lenge respect; bat, as Ministers, entrusted by their
Sovereign with the direction of the resources of this
country, in a moment of unparalleled dunce, and
of unexampled crisis, it becomes the duty of a good
and vigilant servant of the public, maid such iathe
office of every writer or editor of an independent
paper, to call the national attention to so momen-
tous w subject. If the individuals selected to con-
duct, to regulate, and to controul the great deport-
ment*, naval, military, and financial, are confirmed-
ly ancli, as, by universal consent, are unequal to
the task ; if their inaptitude, physical and iatel-
letting', is generally recognised awl admitted, how
can we look for wisdom, energy, or success, from
their exertions? %When we peruse the enormous

Can he, in his present state of bodily decay, be re-

the Crown to form an ostensible administration?
And ere these the times when :inch expel iments is
politics can be safely tried ? They might have been
supportable, when a VLRGENNIA, or a LONICNIC,
were at the heath of the Counsels, and of the Trea-

hest apprehensions in every reflecting mind, if we.
tut n our eyes to the Continent. and see there the
the naval, the financial resources,
not of France alone, of Europe, wielded by the
vast mind, and propelled by the irresistible hand,
of a fierce and riihtle lliiirper, whose vigilance
4alid whose ambition neem. intermit. Is it with
such agents as we employ and entrubt with the
conduct of our counsels, that we hope, or ex-
pect, to arrest the career of NAPOLEON ? Or do
we, übundoning lit expectation from the exhaust-
cl faculties of the rIP.IIT LORD of the TREAtiORV•
look fur aid and extrication front tie CHANCIILLOII
of the ENCORE/LER ? Oh his fervent eligions :eel,
and invritorions spirit of persecution against Ca-
tholies; of his eloquence in defence of Ministerial
venality ; And of his desire to perpetuate, or to
laro-
tect, abuses, or malversation in office ;--eif these
essential qualities or requisites for place, we have
ample proof in Mr. PEIICENAL. But though these
may per.emally sustain him in his possession of
power, will they extricate his country ? Will they
not acerlerme, prepare. and render infallible, the
oiseratioti of BONAPARTE'S Uachiaveliau Ma-

The city of Antwerp, which is supposed to be the
ultimate object of the Expedition, forum no part
of the former territories of Holland ; it is situated
about do miles S.E. from Flushing, on the E. side
of the Scheldt, which is here of- sufficient depth
and width to admit vessels of great burden clue to
the quay. The commerce of this city, rather more
than two centuries ago, was superior to any other
state in Europe, 2500 merchant vessels arriving in
its port in one year. In 1350. the value of the
merchandise imported that year amounted to 133
millions. But when the United Provinces threw off
the Spanish yoke, having got possession of the en-
trance of the Scheldt, they suck obstructions iu the
Channel to prevent a free ilavigatinii. • The town is
