the Cbannti. BoNMPARTE is too politic to attempt
two InVasions at the saMe moment at such opposite
extremes. He may ail this time have been Making
a feint of invading England, while his real object
may be, by a Coup-de-maim, to seize the whole of
Germany, or tome other quarter of Europe, that is
at present exempt from ,the,dreadful visitation of a
French Banditti.

While however we offer these observations as a
possible speculation only of the ultimate plans of a
mind that no human being can fathom, we are very
far from wishing our Countrymen to relax in the
smallest degree from the state of preparation for
Defence, in which their patriotism has so happily
placed us. They 'have got over the thorns of Mi.
litary Disciplines—it wants only a little perseverance
in their present habits to render the share of Mili-
tary Service required of them easy and agreeable.
We are satisfied, such is the state of this Country,
and such must be the permanent effeds of it, that if
BONAPAITE dues not come now, he will never
come.

By the information of persons very recently
escaped from France,. we are assured that the French
Soldiery are not so very eager to make the attempt
as we were some time ago led to believe. It had
Lcen Indust:l94i represented throughout the ranks*
of the French Army, chat larg4 bodies of Log
lishmen would be steady to meet .them on '1.44',
landing and range themselves under their s:andards.
As these Troops, however, have filed
,down from
- Ihelnterior towards the Coast, they have been un.
deceived in this respen, and the Expedition has of
course assumed a different lisped with them. The
Officers in general have no hope of success, anti in
the true charaiter of Frenchmen, the Soldiers say,
1.4 They are going to feed the fish." Some of the
superior Officers, however, affect to say, that if they
could land 20,000 of their Grenadiers, they would
cause such a, convulsion here as would occasion a
National Bankruptcy, and that circumstance they
think would be the means of reviving and assisting
their own Commerce. Their opinion of the diffi-
culties of landing their 20,000 Grenadiers, they
probably did not think it q.uite prudent to give.
Whatever may be the ultimate destiny, however,
of the vast Army collected upon the Coasts of the
Channel, it seems to us very certain that it must
soon be put in motion. Circumstances are arising
which render this indispensibly necessary. By let.
ters from Rotterdam of a very recent date, we learn
that great si:kness prevails among the . French
Troops in Holland. The Hospitals were full; and
the men in them dying fast. This is not
unlikely-
to be the case_ in the Camps about. Boulogne, which,
Must' be very crowded, and in which the habitual
debaUcheries of the French Soldiery, iodependenf
of other Causes, cannot fail to produce 'the most
fatal diseases. As constant reinforcnients, .how.•
ever, are pouring in from the interior, the num-
bers carried off by these diseases are probably not'
much noticed by the Soldiery.. theinselves. •
