FRANKFORT, JAN. 14.—The German pOticiahe •
are particularly employed on the means (it, attacking
Engl.ind in the Indies, and striking'hertcPihe! heart.
The alliance of Russia, France, afld Persia, appears
to than adapted to accelerate this prejea : the pub-
lic papers of Germany. are therefore filled with
Tian. relative to this Expedition. . Arnow).s those.
which have appeared, the following, published in
the Journal of Manheim, has attra43ed considerable ,
notice :--.4he writer of this article supposeS, " that
the Expedition will be made not only with the consent.
• of the King of Nam,' but that Monarch will furnish:
the irmies that Shall pass thro' his territory with every,
thing necessary for. Aheir.subsistence.. He, chooses`
Astracan for. the place of rendezvous of. the trendy:
and Russian armies ; and he edits, the Rassian'army,
will not only be sufficiently provided'with.'a' Tillery,
and • ammunition, but the RuSsiawarmiegitv 111ake:
care to have them in readiness for the Frenc itlvny,
which, to facilitate its March, will take' with .4
neither cannon, ammunition, nor horses.- The Rus-
sian army will be easily coileaed atAstracan; but it
will be requisite to shorten and .fa.cilitate the march
of the French army. It has two pints of dew.:
tore, and conSequently two routes to follow; to ar- ,
rive at Astracan--ene from the Duchy of Warsaw,
and the other through Dalmatia. . By the former the
army will proceed in a right line to Zarozuni on the
Volga, making a march of about four hundred and
sixty leagues, or two hundred and thirty German
miles : then it will embark on the Volga for Astra-
can, from which Larazum is diitant about too
leagues. Thus the French army, setting out from
Warsaw, • will have 560 leagues to go to reach As-
- tracan, top of which will be by water—a march
that will employ. two months and a half, or three
' months. By the second route, that is to say, frdm
Dalmatia, the French army wilrmake a march. of-
about 10.0 leagues to reach apt Danube at a place,
proper to embark. It will go down the Datifibe to
-its mouth on board vessels brought from,th4 Black' '
Sea. When arrived at the Black Sea, it,will purse
its route, and passing by the Strait, of the Crimea,
will land at Sangaroc, on the Sea of Axon' . From
Saugaroc it will ,march to the Dolr, which it will
Pass near Piati labianka, and proceed to the Laro-
zurn, where it will embark for Astracan. As it is
only abcibt 140 leagues nearly from Tanjoroc to
Larozum, it appears that by this route the'Fretich
army has only about 240 or 250 leagues to march by
land, in going - from Dalmatia to Astracan. The
time which will be employed by the*French :tin this
march may be estimated at about 'six weeks,4 that is
to say about half the time of the former. iHnving
joined at Astracan, the two French, and Itnyian:'
armies, with their artillery, ammunition, Itbrsesffic„
will embark in vessels put in requisition on the Cas-
pian Sea, will traverse that Sea, and arrive at •As-
trabad, in Persia, after a passage of ten or tVelve days:
From Astrabad, the two armies, furnished with pro-
visions by the King of PERSIA, will pursue their
route through that kingdom for the'lndies, where
they will arrive 'after a -march of seven or eight
Weeks. It resulta• from this plan, that a French
Ai'my. of 30,000 then setting out from Dalmatia,. and
a Russian army of 30,000 'men (which May like-
wise he joined by a Persian army) may arriVe in the
Indies at the ens of five mouths at latest."(.four-

. HARM/RON, JAN. I I.—They write from different
Cities in Russia,. that the public opinion .in that
country is strongly expressed against 'the English,
and that the system . which has been adopted by
the Cabinet ofSt. Petersburgh is genera 4 approved.:
The orders of the Emperor, relative to.EngliSliShips
and property, have been.executed every where with
the utmost rigour, except Riga, where the neW.Go-
*ernor has a&ed with much feebleness; it is there"
fore 'sa4, that . the Government, very dissatisfied
• withitis•eondua, has dismissed` him frorti his situa-
tion. Several letters from St. Petersburgh, say,
that as-soon as the weather will permit, his Im-
perial Highness the Grtmd•Duke CoNSTANTINK Will
set out for .France, where-he proposes to,sremain
• • -
some time. •

The . statement of the insurrelion at Lisbon,
which we lately inserted, and which has been since
discredited., is, we understand, coufirmed..by further
advices.from thence, which state, that on the 12th
ult. the people having armed themselves, began the
attack, and'were at first successful, but were subse.
guently defeated 3.vith great alaughter. Thirty-eight
of the ringleaders were apprehended, and ordered
to be tried by a court Martial. Another insurrec-
tion took place on the rytb, which was quelled
whh less difficulty. General JONOT afterwards is-
sued an order for disarming the whole. population of
Lisbon.

It is stated in private letters from the Continent,
that of the Russian Army on its march against Fin,
Lind; one half has been obliged to return for want
of -provisions, and that the other is in .a deplorable
mate. The same letters add, that the King of
SivnuEN has informed our Court, that • the zassist.'
ittleQ which he requires ought to.be in m0ney,.,,n34
