which have disembarked their Stores. There is iio
intermission in the activity and zeal with which
our able devote themselves to this 'great

that General Gins has also proceeded ;for his

" YARMOUTH) DI.•:C. y.—The transports with
the troops under Major-general Gtilits, consist-
ing of about Ig6O, sailed yesterday. about 3 P. M.
runlet convoy of. the 4riel sloop. of wits, and
Thresher gnn-brig, for Holland. They had 'a fair
wind this niqrning. It is now B.N.E. but as
the iVnather is very. moderate,
,it i§-itpected that
they will make their' passage. The six Dutch
schttyts havtng On limarci tisseligers, mnsiucts,
and alutnunitioni for Scheveling, sailed also yes-
tertia P. M."

:17,1fhe Prince or OitA.l•Tcz has promulgated a
'ttierate, heeoming, and affectionate Address to his
people, in which he disclaims any inclination to
have assumed that Sovereign title with which they
have hailed his happy reton but he submits, as
he Ought to do in this instance, to the declared;
awl not ipplitic, wish Of his Country.

AVe understand, that both the Messengers who
have arrived, MYERS from Frankfort, and
.from Holland, bring good news, but the
contents clf their dispatches had not transpired
.wilr.n it became necessary for us to go to press,
should any thing occur, we will hasten to enni-
mimicktte it.

The Victoria Privateer, of Guernsey, was taken
en. the- 24th November, and sunk by two French
frigates, of 44 guts each, a brig of 18 guns, and
two American letters of marque, whiCh sailed
from NAM; the day before.

We yesterday promised a few remarks on the
subject of the evident dislike evinced by Buom.v-
iArurr: to meet the Legislative Body : it ig„
lww-
ever, one e greater curiosity than political in-
struction. It will be recollected, that after the
late. return of the Deserter to St. Cloud, his tool,
Sr. JEAN D,'ANCIELY (upon the 12th ult.), in an
Address to the Senate, preparatory to the as-
iienibling of the Legislative Body, not only pro-
filosd to violate the Constitution, as it regarded
this branch, by continuing in the exercise of
their functions one class of the Deputies who.e
eligibility had by law ceased and terminated, hut
also to dispense with the accustomed and pre-
scribed form of submitting the 'choice of Presi-
dent to the Estmon from among,* of the Mem-
bers, selected by their associates, and presented to
him for that determination ; leaving the nomination
entirely to himself. The apology for the fernier •
breach of the Constitution was, the necessity for .
.their immediate proceeding to the pressing busi.
tfeill'of the Nation'; and yet their meeting has been
postponed for nearly three weeks. The excuse for
the second was, that when such important in-
tercourse between them was necessary, it was
'proper that the organ of the. LegislatUre should
be personally known to. BUONAPARTE—•as if, from
among the,fire, who would in the regular course
have been submitted for his approval, he could
.trot have found an instrument sufficiently ohsei.
+pious to his will, or sofficiently villanous to be
entrusted with his designs.
We confess we are somewhat alois what at'.
gument is to be drawn froth the fact which theie
,circumstances satisfactorily establish, viz. that the
Tyrant was apprehensive of the deliberations of
this Boay. Its component parts, colleCtively and
itntlNQually, have heretofore been so entirely de-
hitti that we .scarcely find it possible to
tr wma
.C.CNICIP,a that they can have any separate inte-
rests; 1
that they can lie roused by the national
talamities into open resistance of those measures
Which are in progress to aggravate them, or that
they will.have the resolution boldly to stand up for
the Welfare of Trance against the ambition of the
Corsicati. 'Yet that his fears whispered this to
bit heart is, We think, very evident: Ile dreaded
• the revival of Independent spirit at a period when
the least smirk veal calculated tai 'Produce an 'uni-
versal explosion in *. cautttil filled with voinhas.
