into the isle of Franca by the isre•ich.

A Messenier arrived at Lord Motc:tAves Q-Irre
last night, with dispatchei from Mt. iAtitsoN, His!
Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of Berlin. They
'were sairtto be of considerable importance; but no-
thing was perfnitted to transpire publicly with re-
speal to their contents. ,

According to private advices, the Army which
BONAPAR.TE destines the Invasion of this CoUn-
try amounts to 200,000 men, of whom 8,000 are.
Artillery ; and it is reported that the daring attempt
will 'certainly be made.in the course of the .preSent
month.

Adnirral CORNWALLIS'S Letter, enclosing Admiral
CALn ER'S Disptcli, was brought to the Admiralty
from the Fleet off Usbant in sixty hours and a half;
an instance of speed, believe, before unexampled.

There can be no doubt, as we have .before. ob-
served, that the terror of Lord Namsores name in-
duced the Combined Meets to. return' as fast as pos-
sible to Europe, without making agrattempt upon
our West Indian Possessions, and that the judicious
measures he had adopted obliged them to take that
course, which, we trust; will enable our gallant
Tars to obtain a complete triumph over their. But,
besides . this probable result of Lord Is4Lsow's
rafter and 1 rofessional wisdom, his Lordship has ren-
dered the most essential service to the 'West India
Merchants, by saving an immense portion of their
property from. the Enemy. There is notfiing,
therefore, to be said by those Merchants that
can sufficiently testify their gratitude, which' we'
doubt not that they will zealoiWy endeavour to
evince by some' striking And extzlnplAry Mark of re-
sped and honour 'for 4 'Nobleman to
:whose valour,
promptitude, and judgment, they are so deeply in-
debted. •

Lieutenant Num°mow is promoted to the rank

merited.

A,Gentleman. from Mertiuique is just arrived in
town. He loft that Island on the 19th of June, and
was'there during the time the. Combined *ivadrons
were in Fort Royal, He positively contradiEts the
loss said to have been sustained on board the Ene-
my's 51,1ips by sickness. The number's that died
were very few in proP9rtion to the people on board,
and the unhealthiness-of the climate. There was
scarce, a titty do which the Officers of the Fleet had
not eith:r parties .on board to partake of entertain-
mcnttl, or formed parties on shore to routs and balls.
The flippant conduaof the French Officers was much
the tfbieet of conversation, and excited the disgust
of the whole Lland. Their voyage resembled.rnore
an excuirsion of pleasure, than a grave and important
expedition.
