10. I.t , JUNE 16.

The English fleet is again in sight, and we can
count ten ships of the line, and seven frigates. We
are here busy night and day, to complete the
• .; • :pmeilt of the Sve,§ and Bdloila, that we may,
\v v..: more rtilial force, attack our insolent foes, and
skit the Nlediter: anr•ut of their presence ; but pro-
bably they will not wait fur us, but do, as they did
lately, owe their safety to their flight.

RRE:r, j(INF. 21.

Never, for twelve years, was onr fleet more bril-
liant, or more complete, nor our officers and men
in higher spirits. Our new Commander, Admiral
Gantheaume, has chat'ged several of the signals,
and made several improvements in the manoeuvres,
mote congeni.tl to our national vivacity and spirit.
One division of our national flotilla, under the
command of Captain Gatuies, was attacked, on the

17th, near Penmark,, by two English ships of the
line, three frigates, and four cutters. After cannon-
ading as for an hour, and receiving great damage
from our batteries, the enemy was forced to retreat,
without doing us the lta,t injury.
CHLIIIIMIGH, JUNE YG.

Our road is crowded with armed vessels belong.
ing to our grand national flotilla; but a numerous
division of English ships ■re always in sight, and
prevent as yet our re-union at Boulogne. The
fort of Bonaparte will be finished before the end of
the year, and then our road and harbour will offer
security and proteCtion to a fleet of one hundred
ships of the line.

reception of our Emporor, who is expeaed

By an article in the Le...dem Courant, of the 9th in-
stain, it ayitears, th.tt the Afoul/gar of the hth con-
r.,:as a c.-irtradinion of several pieces of intelli-
gence, conanui.icated in another French Paper, the
l'uloltce,le. The Moniteur represents them as having
been taken from Gentian Journals, in which they
kad been inserted by the influence of English Agents.
The articles which are contradifted by the Official
Paper, are as follow i••• 14 That considerable changes
are to take place in Italy ; that the Papal States
are to be divided, and that Cardinal Fesch is to
have a skare ; that the Kin of Naples will retire
to Sicily ; and that General Alton was to be re-
stored to the situation from which he had been dis-
missed." It is also added, that an article published
some time since in the Pu!'trifte, had induced the
Secretary of State of the Sublime Porte, to remon-
strate with M. Brune, the French Minister at Con-
stantinople, on a supposed design of France to seize
the Morr.t ; and that, from intelligence given in the
French Papors, the Court of Vienna entertained an
opinion that France intended to send 1;0,000 men
into Ita/y.
