Every succeeding hour brings something cross ; and t be spirit of
the troops here is still more decidedly hostile to the l'te arbons than
ever ; it is a fact that the Commanders d ire not eve o c all a ntststeC

A letter from Newhaven, dated March'l6„ FOur o'Clock, says—
' " Princess Talleyrand and Madame Moreau *aye just landed here,
with ninety other persons, amongst whom i a Mr. ~Baker, with slit-
patches for the British Government "
The crowds of Englishmen, and others, w; rit;ng for a passage from
Calais and Boulogne to this country, are immense. Tkose who
have the means, are proceeding home by the t way of Btosaets, wkersa

A letter from Harwich states, that four troops of heavy dragoons
have embarked for the purpose of strengt atning our army in Bel-
gium. More troops are getting ready, an d before many days elapse
we shall have a formidable force in that q saner.
A letter from Rye, dated Thursday. mentions the 'arrival of a
smuggling vessel the preceding night fro' a Boulogne, IN hick she had,
quitted the same forenoon ; that Boulog ae was hill of English pc.

A Special Court of Cominon C ;council was held Wednes-
day, to consider what further ste, ys it might be necessary to
