Af.dusa, liorn the Coast of Holland, ,with pit of
his force ; the remainder are of 'Margate : his
Lordship having reconnoitred the Enemy's Coast in
the neighbourhood of Fhishing, judged any attempt
in that (furter too hazardous.

WE have in out Columns given a great
nu:nber of Extraai- fmin _tlie Paris,Paperr of the
3a,and 4th inst, which arrived yesterday. the
. Mapiteur has never been so dull and so destitute of
interest as on these tw'o days. The one of them is
entirely filled. with the .Treaty concluded between
Sweden and Ruisia, translated from our own Papers.

The other is wholly occupied by a Report from Rear-
.
Admiral LACROSSE, respeding his Voyage to Gua-
„ .
dalorepe, and respecting. the Military, Ci vil, a nd Agri-
cultural state of that Colony. Sent thither to take the
command; with the title of Captaiti.General, but with
ire_ aetual• authority of Vice Consul, he, has hasten-,
ed to make regulations on a great number of sub.
je&s, and, among others, on the subjects Of duels
and poisoning, which appeal to have become very
frequent in that Island, although the French Rear.
Admiral asserts, that it enjoysprojoundtrauguigiiy.
the commencement of his Proconsulate has been
distinguished by two acas of real .advdnt.age to that
Colony, the fecal' of the Emigrant Proprietors, to
.whom all that part of their prdperty that remains
unsold, is to be restored, and tte deportation of a
fcw Jacobins, who had, for some yearc, bee:, the
Tyrants of that Island, to France, where they have
been thrown into prison. All , that relates to us in
the dispatch of the French Admir:!l, is to be found
in one paragraph, in which 'We read that Guadalogise
was i.n'a state of defence to defy the English,

The same assertion is made respefting the Island
of Gorce, in a'n article from Holland. A. consider-
able Camp has been formed in that 'small but im-
portant Is,land; .Batteries have been thrown up at
a:1 the,favourahle points,-and, in short, nothinc., has
been negleaccl to secure it against a Coup. de Main.
The, same precautions have been taken in the Isle of
lirti/clLre'n, and General AUGEREAU appears to share
tl.e uneasjoess which the presence of our' numerous
erniz'ers cont:imally oc.casions in the Batavian Re-
, puhlic.

--The:KING": of ETI',URTA haS• been splemply-

,th:!t • the French
Troops' have borne a more considerable share in this

cereMony than the Inhabitants themselves. As the
„isle Of Elba forms' part of the kingdom of that.
Erince„ he has not lost a moment in endeavourinr, ,to
bring back the Rebel Inhabitants of it to their duty,
and a Paerfi c Deliutation, half-French and half Tus-

to the, obedience of their legitimate Prince. What
had keen the result of this measure was still um-

A method, somewhat diverting, has been found
:out of announcing the loss of Cairg, and, of Upper
Fgypi,:to Frenclt Petye. General MENOU

,to be excited by the Spaniards, who
promise to make the most extraordinary efforts, and
who 'now imagine themselves invincilile, after the
harvest of aurels which they have reaped in their

to believe, that the Chief Consul loves to attempt
difficult Plans, as the two great objeets which are
now supposed to engage his tittention, are the Siege

Monday last the Somerset Sußplementary Militia

The Somerset-Place Associatroo marched on
Wednesday to the Assembly-House, at Kentish
.Town ; from whence they proceeded to fire with ball
cartridge at a target. They afterwards fired four
rounds of plain cartridge in a very excellent style.
When the fire ceased, they returned to the house,
where they partook of an elegant cold collation.
The construetion of.three new bridges aciOss the
Seine affords an opportunity to the Opposition Pa-
pen of commending the spirit with which public
works are carried on in France, and of obliquely
censuring us for a want of the satue spirit in this
country.' These Writers do not perhaps 'consider,
that in this country we do not Make ,erations of
this kind until there is a necessity for them. Our
Ministers Cannot • build a hut without these very
Scribblers cavilling at the expenditure it occasions.
An arbitrary Government may throw up what works
they please, without utility and without censure.
The same attention to 'the improvement ,of the
breed of cattle, which has so long prevailed in Eng_
land, begin's now to operate in France :' the Spanish
rams, introduced ,by. thc•GOVernment for the pur-
pose of ameliorating' the wool of the native sheep,
have produced a mixed race, possessing many excel-.
lent,qualities ; but it is to be feared that the emu-
lation Of breeders will produce the same effed in
enhancing the price, which has been Complained of
here.---. Ewes, which sal list year at an average of
68 francs, sold this year at 209 francs; and rams,
which were then .at 8o francs, are pow at 331.
