LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1803.

YISTER*AX two Mails arrived from the Conti-
nent, one from Harr:burgh, and the other from
Gottenhurgh. The intelligence from France is not
of a later date than that brought by the last French
Papers. The marching of French Troops to
the Coast, for the purpose of invading this
Country, still continues. A Letter from Mentz
states, that the Garrisons in Alsace, Lorrain,
and Burguady, have began their march. It seems
now to be evident that the French are meditating
an Expedition of considerable magnitude from
some part of Italy, but whether it is destined
against Egypt or the Morca, is uncertain. The French
Army in. Lower Italy is to be reinforced to 60,000
men. The French Government have offered to the
nominal Grand Master of Malta, M. TflostAst, a
pension of livres, until he Is put in posses.
*ion of his oßice and revenues. This liberal offer,
which might very well be considered as a pension
for life, M. THOMAST has declined.
The report that Portuga/ had purchased the
berty of remaining neuter during the War, is not
confirmed by later intelligence : it is now said,
that the terms held out to Portugal by France are,
ist, That ample satisbaion is to be made for the
hostile transataions which took place near Lisbon.
ad, That a Corps of French Troops should be admit.
tcd into Portugal, to.remain.there during the' War at
the expence of That Country ; and, lastly, that all
the English should be expelled from Portugal, and
their property confiscated. We cannot pretend to
say that this account is authentic, but the injustice
of the terms gives it the appearance of probability.

Ott Saturday night Admiral Lord KEITH, in
the Monarch, of 74. guns, with the Immortaliti Fri.
gate, anchored off the South Foreland, being un.
able to get into the Downs from a very fresh
northerly witid ; and yesterday at noon, these

Was tried and conviEled, and on the following day
Was executed on the Coal-quay, opposite to his own

Rebels, was executed pursuant to his sentence.
Redmond's, it appears, is the last trial under the
present Commission. Fresh Commissions will be
forthwith opened fur the Trial of such persons as are
in custody on Charges of High Treason in some of
the other Counties.

Ost Tueßday last a Meeting of theLientenantey,

burgh, was held in the Parliament House of that
City, at which the defenceless state of the East
Coast of Scotland was submitted to consideration
by Lord MP. ADOWBA NK, one of the Lords of Ses-
sion, in a very pointed Speech. The conclusion
was, that a representation should be made to Go-
vernment, in hopes that a proper Force would be
appointed for the Defence of the 'Eastern Coast.—
We shall to-morrow give the Proceedings of this
Meeting in detail.
