LONDON, NOVEMBER 2g, Igor,

WE 'stated two days ago, that op this day
the Marquis CoaDtwnws is expeaed to, be at.
Amiens. It is supposed, that on Monday the Pleni-
potentiaries will have all 'assembled,. and . they
will immediately proceed to business, after having
verified and interchanged their respettive full
powers. We have before stated it as our opinion,
that all the principal pOints which are to constitute
the substancp pf;the Definitive Treaty, have al-
ready uncietrone the most ample discussion, and
have only, at Amiens, to_ be reduced to Diplomatic
form. We yesterday had the pleasure of informing
the. Public, that things at Parivhave gone on in the
most satisfaaory manner, ever since the arrival of
Marquis COANWALLIS in that Capital. There is
no reason to doubt the sincere desire an the part of
the French Government, to make such an arrange-
ment for Peace, as may promise to ensure its stabi-
lity.

Some alarm seems to have arisen in this Country,
on the. occasion of our Fleet having been ordered
to the Coast of Ireland, but we, can.see
.no justifia.
ble or serious cause for such alarm in the measure
alluded to. Our Fleet cannot, now consistently re,
tain its"situation off the ,Port,of Brest, which would
be to continue the blockade of that plae—but that
is no reason why we should wholly desert the
Seas and leave our Ships inaftive in but harbours,
they are therefore ordered to a station where they

• can afford proteCtiOn to our Trade, without having
the appearance of continued hostility: Besides, it
should be recolleded, that till the Definitive Treaty
of Peace is concluded and etchanged, we cannot be
said to have returned to 'am &quill State of Peace.
A Preliminary Treaty is only an 'Armistice, or
a Cessatioh of Hostilities preparatory to a Peace,
but from which the certainty of that- :blessing
may he expeeted, more •especially after a Preli.
minary Treaty digested and discussed as chat was
which has recently 4een concluded between this
-Country ancidVsmct. In the tneftsure therefore
of sending our sleet to Sea, we-can-discover no,
ding that ought to shake the public opinion.olthe
Certainty, and, of theTrobable.Stability of Peace.
It
.is-a considerable time since we announced that

he French Armament which is about to be sent to

the West Indies, was to sail with the previous
knowledge and perfeit acquiescence of our Govern-
ment'. That the French Colony of St. Domingo
should revert to a regular system of Government
under the,protedion of the Mother Country, seems

necessary to the permanent safety of our own posses.
sions in that quarter of the globe, and it is only
following the wise and reasonable policy of our
Ancestors, and the obvious dilates of common
sense, that when a rival Nation sends a large force
to 'any quarter of the globe, we should not, in the
same quarter, be found altogether weak and de.
fenceless. This is a policy which may always be
entertained in the truest spirit of Peace. Our
Naval Establishment in rime of Peace, must ne-
cessarily be respeaable, and where can a portion of
;hat force be more properly employed than in a
qtlart6' where a large British property is deposited,
and to which a great proportion of our Commerce
extends ? This reasOnitt, which is simple, and we
think just, will account at. once for the detaching a
Squadron to the West Indies at 'the present moment,
for the purpose of strengthening our Naval Power in
that quarter, an& for the Channel Fleet returning to
sea. Our Colonies in the West are widely scattered,
and require, for their prote4ion and security, an ac-
cumulation of force, more especially at a time when
so large a proportion of the force of our natural
rival is to be transferred to that hemisphere, even
though it be wish a defined ()Net% and one which

It

to with to see crowned with success.

Upon these- topics we have thought it prol4
thus slightly ro ,touch, as we perceive that the I"
'intentioned seem ready to pervert them for the pei
pose of exciting alarm in the public.mind, w-ht-n
real .cause for such a 'feeling, &tn 'reasonably eltis
The ithpression which the British Plenipo!enti
has .received of the siimeritylof the Fren‘ch Govef,?
ment for the firm establishment and permanent citif.
tion..of Peace, we .believe to be very strotigt#
:here surely is it 3 disposition on the part of t_
British IYLinistry to entertain or excite ally (AO
feeling.. While their labours 'are crowned wit'
success for procring the return of Peace; they pughi
not surely to negled arty measures' of salutary pre
cautionwhich are to ensure its stability, and enab:i
us to enjoy its blessings to their fullest extent.

The snow was so very deep last night betweeli
Winterslow, Um., Wallop, and Salisbury, that tI4
Balloon, Taunton, Clarence; and Light Salisbud
Coaches, were stopped on the road; and at Aoo'
ver, the Mercury Coach; on their way Westlv.,-",
The snow came up to the body of the coaches ; art't
the Mail coach, in its limy to London, was stoppeA
with drifts many times, as the wind had Ircl)
high. _

It VV2 E up to the body of the coaches at
The Shrewsbury heavy Telegraph, and IVl,:nchesie
Defiance Coaches, which left London yesterday, were
there stopped by the snow ; the Manchester Mail
Coach, on its way to London, was detained or'e
hour at Hockliff; as was the Chester ; and after'
wants taking up the Bags belonging to both Coaches/
and with additional horses, pursued their rout, NC
were oblige4i, on their way frequently to quit 01
road, and go over fields.

At eleven o'clock this forenoon, five of the Awls

The' following is an Extract of a Letter front 1,

ultimate destination Of that Expedition
We lift the Cape on. the 30th March, And oil
the 18th of May arrived at Mocha, from whence
we sailed up the Red Sea, and arrived at-Cosseir,
in Upper Egypt), on the 7th of July, :whew vi.
joined the Indian Army. We left Cosseir ors t
2Xst of July, and marched seven days across 10
De*art, and well may it be called aDesart, for in
the course of thit time I saw riot a mark of vf4
getation, except two or three Cashow trees. Wit
met with wells at three different places on oar
march ; on other days the water was carried
leather bags on the backs of camels. On the Ow
we arrived at Kenne on the Banks of the
and on the 3d of August embarked on that Rirer"'
boati for Cairo, where we arrived on the rerdr.:
On 28th we again embarked at Cairo for RosetL"'
and on our arrival there, on the 3 isF, received ac"
counts of the surrender of Alexandria, to our, great
mortification, as we were within two short day's
march of it. We expect to remain some time in
Egypt, and on quitting it will no doubt be sent to
Bengal, as the Regiment is put upon that Establish-
ment.'"

At Hampton-Green Fair, in Norfolk,
last week,
there was the largest-show of beasts that has been
seen at any fair in that Distrift this season. There
were not less than 4000 head of cattle on the giound
the second day, principally Scots and Irish ; the
price, however, were held as high as at Swalrharn
and Woodbridge, where the numbers were very in-
ferior.

One of the most attractive Exhibitions now in
Paris, and indeed there seems every reason why it
should be so, is an invisible Irma", to be seen for
three francs. This is, at least, a-novelty. Those,
who go to sae her will probably be entertained,'
says a Parisian Journalist, "as those were who went
to see an extraordinary animal, advertised 500,6
tithe ago, of a breed between a rabbit and Vol'
The Exhibitor came forth, and apologized for
death of the animal itself, but, determined .to VII
tify the Public, as far as was in his power, Noe'
to skew them the parents of this extraordinary rt..11;]
duaion,'at the same time bringing forward a/5
and a rabbit."
