We List night received, the Paris. Papal to.the
3d, and a Dutch Paper of the 6th inst. The naval
preparations carrying on in the Ports. of Spain .are
studiously represented, in the French PaPers,
being immense ; anti the Squadrorfitting'ontin Ca.
diz will, it is said, he very soon able to cope with
that otAdiniral Chou. We are, however, rather
apprehensive that,so(ne time will'elapse before they
will give the gallant AdMiral an opp'ortUnity of Mak_
ing the experiment.. We • stated some time ago,
upon the best information, that Admiral Coot.
RANs was not_.„ocr Cadiz on the 9th ult. though it
Was confidently asserted by some of oor Cotempora.
ries., on the, authority of privatedetters, that be,
was. ofr Tagus on that day.,Our statement
is.now eonfirmed, if any confirmation were neoes.
saty, by a Letter from Lisbon, which states, .that
it was on the 6th, and not the 9th,"that his Squa.
drop was off that Port.

It is said that the Toulon Fleet .will Sail again
very soon, and- that a considerable'hoily of Troops
will embark on board it. The ./liosieem'r of the. 2gth
ult. contains no less than eleven columns of.extracts
from a new Publication respelling Egypt, the object
of which is, to slim that it is absolutely net eSsary '
to the happiness of the People of Egypt that the
French should be in possession of • that Country.
. .
Upon the subjPa of Egypt we beg leave to extraft,
for the amusement of our Readers, the following ar_
ticle, which proves the absurdity, as well as the
malevolence, of the French Usurper, or his NrWe.
paper Agents ;it appeared in ,The Public;ite of
April 2:
" The following Article is extrafted from Tat;SOH.—(Pr.
Richie, April 2.)
" The secret of the grand Expedition is a! length known.
The object of all these great preparations is Egypt, the con•
quest of which, promised by ELIF! Bw.v, appears no longer
doubtful, anal even so certain that already all ;the objeas of
fashion,' furniture, and carriages, every thing is Egyptian
' even to the opiniona of our Minister.; The Expedition has
been' augmented by a great number of persons who have;
been in Egypt, and who know the Country, as well as some
n9tural born Ekyptians who have been concealed in Mr.
P I'll'3 house. On the 26th of February rso,ooo gallons of
runt were distributed to the Soldiers andSaitors. We are so
sure of success," adds the same Journal, " thatthey are about
to represent at the Theatre a Piece called the Taking of Alex-
andria l"

. It is wholly ~unnecessary' to assure the Public,
that this pretended Extract froM Tint SuN never
appeared in this Paper.; but it is by no 19Cails 511 f.
prising' that our Enemy should endeavour to avail
himseltt of a f'4er couspiculus for the authority of
its contents, and its atlilchtliCrit to the' liritish Go.
verntneni.

'The two Ships which yeceritly chased the Pallor
Frig4te are now said, in our Plymouth Letter, ro
have been Spanish Men of War, stolen out from
C 4 iix, or some other Port in Spain, ' We think this
conjeture very impri4bable, and still adhere to,our
former opinion, that they were English Ships mis.
.takrn for an Enemy.

BREAD.--Yesterday the Lotto nivroa. ordered

It is confidently
.said that the reported vast kisses
by ty certain Dutchess at play, have no foundatiOn,
in truth. We are indeed assured that the whole of
this invidious rumour was the result of a laudahle
retrenchment, in which the husband. and wife both'
contorted, in, order to relieve their property -fro' in
embarrassments produced by the extensive but, wire
plans of the late possessor, and to provide fir la
pr4tiable increase cat family. Hence ti considerable
'lumber of servants were discharged, who, in re.
verge, are supposed 'to have circulated the ma.
lignant reporte which have excited'so much atten.

Aditlll4 IVII &DEW', who commands the Roche.
fort Squadron now in the West Indies, was born at
Tooloil, where his father was DireCtor of the Ma.
tine Artillery. He is at pteieot about 50 years
andhad the rank of Lieutenant in this Navy at the
commencement of the Revolution. an enter.
prising and aCtive Officer, without being distinguish.
ed by any extraordinary talent. The, following
anecdote is not 'muchlo the credit of the clearness
of his intelleaual faculties. He, under the _patro-
nage' of M. Da CHAD ERT, compiled. a SkSteill of
signals, which was printed at the Royal Picas; but
neither the patron nor the protege could ever prevail
on any Officer to give it a trial. Among the mul.
titude of signals which he had laid down, the tot.
lo wing occurred :--Night.signah, for discontinuing
the engagement, three guns to be fired.
General LA GtiANOB, who commands the French
Troops that landed at Dominica, is what the French
'call a ci,devant,*apd &on of a Geueral Officer in the
time of Louts XVI. The General, his father, was
extremely severe towards his subalterns. At Lisle,
he publicly humiliated a very gallant Officer, who
was thrown into such a desperate state of mind by
this treatment, that he 'shot himself. Young LA
GRANO a remained in. France during the Revolution,
and served in a Regiment of Light, Horse. In the
year ificto he was appointed Colonel, and in: the
month of December be was sent to Rome, in order
to negotiate with the Commander of the Neapolitan
Army, or, in other words, to ensnare and deceivehim:
S days after this negotiation the French were in poe.
session of the kingdom of Naples. Since that period
he has been employed in various missions of a Ai.
mile kind. He was busy in Germany when the
Prihces of that Country Were secularizing the Ec.
elesiastical Property, &c. &c. lie was sitivt in
Hungary at another time ; and was certainly en.
trusted with a confidential negotiation with PAevvms
OQI,ou. He is in the confidence of the new i.m.
peror of France, and his success in European
;ntr;gues has doubtless pointed him out to the Im.
perial Usurper as a proper person to be employed in
operations of the same liberal kind in the West
Irkties.
