PLAN FOI?THE INVASION OF ENGLAND.

CThefollowing has been published as the Plan suggested by.
General Gaosstar for the Invasion of thiS.Couritiy. It.
partakes of all the boasting confidence of a Frenchman, and
serves to shew how Miserably the Soldiers and People of
France are deceived, with respet to the probabilities of
success in. such an attempt. the General has contrived
wholly to forget that there is any Military Force in this
Country to oppose an invading Army. 3

General LLOYD'S Memorial upon the InVasion
and Defence of Great Britain having been trans-
laced 'into French, General GROOS RT, who served
under BONAPARTE in Egypt, has published an ans
• swer to it, and has given in a Plan ,himself for the
Invasion of this Country. GeneraatoYth affirms,.
that. a powerful Fleet, 30,000 Sailors, and Conti-
nental Allies, can alone be the safe-guards of Eng.,
• land. GRosa fiRT observes upon this---
'lf we-exeept his observations relative to a Con.,
tinental Alliance, of which England stands trims :n
need' than arty other Power, we have reason to think
that General Ltovn's opinion is far from being
serviceable to his Country.
ladeed, almost the only topic which we here un.
&stake to discuss is the probability of Invasion,
and the system of defence, as laid down by• General
LLOYD,. may afford us room to •dotibt whether a(
pOwerful Flees, and 30,000 Marines, can suffice
for the Protee.iiOn' of that Island.
'The object of a Fleet under such circumstances
Would doubtless he to throw difficulties in the wayi
of approaching the coast, or to impede the coming
out and obstrilet the progress of the hostile invading
force ;• but the stations of that Fleet, and the points
where it is to cruize, cannot remain invariable.-
Ist. Because the shifting of the wind or the Kura
rents of the element on which it moves msy displace
it in an initant, and may suffice a single instant fir
its making a short anti rapid passage. aI. Bt.'tal
2T-hither `Laval Force may attack that which block.
ades our. Ports, and compel it to retire ; or it. may
occupy the blockading force in such a manner as to
furnish an opportunity to our convoys to put to sea',
and that with a favourable and 'steady wind, In
short, as it is impossible precisely to ascertain all
the chances to which the instability of the element's
may give rise ; so is it almost as difficult to.point
out that particular one which the Invader may chose
for coming over to the opposite Oast.
We do not here stop to consider what m' ba
the advantage 'which itt general the English fleets
may have over the Naval Force of other Countries';
we merely have to remark upon the means•whieh
may beetnployed in removing the English fleet from
the line which the Invader is anxious to traverse.
It is likely chat General LLOYD has looked upon
the resistance to be opposed to the' coming over of
an enemy As a doubtful mode of defenee,' and its one
subject' to unfavourable chances, since he ins nut
thought proper to set it forth in his meMorial. It
is almost exclusively taken up in the enumeration
of topographical difficulties, with a view to demon.
straw the impossibility of penetrating to the Metro.

After endeavouring to establish the. position we
have already alluded to, General •Ltociro proceeds
to establish the necessity Hof attaCking France in
all her distant possessions, and to annoy her In
every quarter of the world. •It is in order to
perform that arduous task that LLOYD requires a for.
• nsidatle „feet and 30,000 marines. These marines are
therefore intended to fight on land, to disembark, to
march, to entrench themselves, to manceuvre, in short,
against an enemy. But LLOYD Must have been too
good an officer not to have perceived how expensive,
absurd, and impeadicable such a system must prove.
If it be not' the exclusive fundion of these 30,000
men to prevent the ships ftom being boarded, or to
contribute by a discharge of musquetry 'during.. a
naval :talon; their principal ohjed must be to deso-
late possessions of the Enemy, to conquer savage
countries, to create and defend colonial establish.
ments, and to perform, in fine, every service that
belongs to land troops, and to the destination of
such as are embarked for th"at purpose.
Each expedition that carries a certain number of
men must therefore be furnished with a quantity of
arms sufficient to complete it. I mean that every
article necessary. for the artillery and the engineers
shnuld accompany the embarkation, and such arti.
cles, intit no doubt prove embarrassing.
Iris a received opinion, somewhat similar to the
accredited reports of the. treasures contained in the
banks of certain nations, that a descent upon Eng.
land is itnpradicable, unless the British fleet be pre
viously dispersed. This argument being the tmst
specious, I..LOYD had reason to bring it forwthl, but
it is difficult to say why he did not lay more stress
upon it, or why the whole of hii labouris directed
to shew that a hostile army, actually landed in Eng-
land, would not:be able to traverse'that Country .so
as to reach its Capital ? We have beets forced to an.
ticipate our commentary upon this assertion, and to
ask why the,.author should have given that 'as a lie_
remptory arkument, which may be subject to so
many tit:favourable chances ?

It is beyond all doubt that a numerous fleet may
block up the Ports in which the Expedition is pre.
pared, and that it may cut off the convoys laden
with provisions and ammunition for an army already
landed. If this difficulty, which we take to be the
only, one, did not exist, the success of this operation
could not have been so long questioned. It should
be estimated however at its teal value. It is
possible that a fleet should long oppose itself to the
sortie of such an expedition. It is possible that it
may attack in its passage; hut it is npt.equally
true, that an army, if landed, must perish through
the want of ammunition and provisions, through
its convoys being intercepted. It is important that
the invading Enemy should well calctilate the first
of these difficulties. The fleet may be dispersed,

Ist, By, the cl;anees of the elements, and, ztily, By
the diversions which the squadrons of the Enemy,
or of,his Aliiel, triAy be enabled to create. It is
for Mariners to eticulate how long a fleet can main-
tain a permanent situation in a narrow passage,. or
to hover about the same spot so unceasingly, as to
prevent the sailing of an expedition from any of
the ports of France. All the world mint allow that
a'favourable. wind-must at some tithe facilitate the
sortie. At such a favourable moment two fleets
may attack the fititi?li force, to the North and
South of therliTniiTel. Th 2 latter would have then
not only to engage ivich fleets, but to deta& a part
of its force, in order to continue the blockade.
But the expeditiork itself may have at its head ships-,
of war in suflici,!nt number to contend with this
intermediate division of the British fleet. A dark
night, a fog, or a violeot gale driving them from.
the coast, would give to the French emharkation
bufficient time to crass a streight of seven leagues,
without any loss 'so cwsidtrAble as to' preveot the
greater part 'of- itf; force lioin repairing to its Lie-
StinatiOn. ,

This operation may be rcpeaed as often tts, the.
wind shall,: beofavoorable. ,isto be remarked,.
that I suppnse, 'in :the interim, the event of., the.
battle with theTtWo..Bralish divisions to be a draws
one, or even advantageous .to the, English ; but this;
supposition ~b•es er,t deprive, the eztrdition of its
principal obj,Zl-4-that of atriving. It cannot be

ON Wednesday evening, between five and six
o'clock, 'there were deieried from th^ heights above
Dover, a small Flotilla of French Gun-boats, about,
25 in number, escorted by a large Sloop, steering
doSe along the French shore fur Calais, The Re.
publican Flag was plainly discernible. This Flo.
tilla had come out of Dunkirk, and they anchored
in Calais Roads, waiting for t 4 tide to carry theirs
into the Harbour. Our CrUizers were unfirrunate.

the EastwaKi and Northward, they had an op.
portunity of making this' movement unniolest.
