• The following Article. we copy from a Morning
Paper: It contains nothing that was not known
before :

Private advices have been lately received by'our
Government, that tievelope the whole plan of opera-
dons formeA by" the. Cit r Et Co NM L. of 'France against
this Coontry. We believe Hts Mal EST ris now in
possession'id intelligence to the folloWing etTeti :
That an Embarkation of French Troops at four
different places on their coasts will very Shortly take
place, ,and :an . attempt will be made to land
them in Essex, Kent, and) SRISt•X. They ure not
intended to conquer, the Country, nor, tio.they ex.
peCt to reach the. :Metropolis ; but they ate. to
ravage and destroy wherever. they come, and, 'when
pressed by superior numbers, to surrender Prisoners
of War. These attacks are to. cover the' principal
design of the French Government, which it now ap.
pears is dire led to succoui the Trish in their deter.
urination to separate themselves from the Crown of
England, and to form an Independent, State. This
has been suspeCted for some time past but it is now
substantiated by a late discovery, that, tree/ions to
the commentetnent of hostilities, a. deputation from a
numerous body of the disaffeCied in Ireland, consis:.
ing of several men
,of superior capacity, waited On,
the Pa EMI ER CONSUL at Si. C/Orrd, and from that
moment, a secret intercourse bias been carrying on.
and a powerful InsurreitiOn organizing- rin
Sister Kingdom, with the utmost diligence and cir.
cumspeetion. The attention of our Marine, it is
supposed, will be so totally directed to die Invading
Flotilla destined for the English Coast, that a fleet
now assembling at Merielix, Brett, and L'Orient,and
which is to carry .rti tRT THOUSAND
. veteran troops,
and ONE HUNDRtD THOUSAND swat of spare arms,
to Ireland, will be able' to make the voyage i without
interruption. `ll4 serious atraCk.on.Eirghput is to
take place when the subjugation crf Ireland is 'ac.
cnmplished, but not before. The invading army
will. then be compoied of

ON Friday last the `.)lthwarir:, Volunteer Cavat,
ry received orders from their Commanding Off,..
cer, Capt. COWIMDON, that they were to muster
on Kennington Common, on the afternoon of the
following day, and to come prepared, with a change
of linen. They were not to bring a servant, as it
was intended they should march .00 of. town. The
place of their destination was not mentioned. The
members next day mustered very strong ; a few excus.
ed themselves on account of business, ,and two sent
in their resignations to the Captain, who refused to
accept them. ;just before dark ,on Saturday, the
Members Who had met, • sat off from Kennington
Comm6n, and took the Brighton road, which gave
rise to thestaternent that they had gone on duty 'to
that plate s. ,7 hey however halted at. SitttOn, where
they took up their quarters that night. Next morn.
ing early, at the sound of the bugle, every Gentle.
man appeared in his undress, and watered and dress.
ed his own horse. The. Corps remained two days
in the neighbourhood, having gone through their
exercise regularly, ,and returned to the Borough on
Tuesday evening.
We are sorry to add, that Mr. JANtin TATLOCK,
in.managing a very spirited:horse belongiog to Mr.
WAL Lis, suddenly brought the animal to the ground.
Mr. T. was dismounted, and. in endeavouring to.
recover himself, he fell upon his sabre, and fradured
two of his ribs.

he arrived about ten. The PRINCE of WAt.es's
Loyal Volunteers werb drawn up opposite the
Bason, and received his Lordship with presented
arms. The Corps then went through several ma.
ntrovres, in a manner which did the highest credit
to their attention and discipline. Lord HAERING.
TON expressed his surprize at the great progress
which had been made by so young, a Corps, anti his'
entire sittiblathin at their Soldier:like appearance
and'Otecllent performance. The inspedion finished
soon after, twelve, when the Corps marched back to
their Parade in the Upper Mews, where they were
dismissed.

The fineness of the morning drew an immense
concourse of People to die Green Park to witness
the spetlacle, and much Fashion and Beauty graced
the scene. Amongst the ohjeas that attracted par.
titular notice., was His MAJEsTY"s.beatitiful white
Horse dithinif, which was very much almired.

It is a proud circumutince, as indieative of the
disposition of the people, and of their just con.
ception of the glorious cause ai issue, that the
Cinque Ports alone (of which Mr, PITT is Lard
WAsden) have given for the support of their own
Country-.-4. one hundred and fifty.one vessels,
mounting' carronades (from tz to IS pounders)
wi.4oh ravigated, and wilt, if occasion offers, be
fought without any expence to the State."

A Getttleman who left Paris last week, , and NiAS
obliged le travel along the coat, till he reached
Holland, before he could obtairEa passage to Eng.
land, reached town on Tueiday. He states, that
the late Bombardment of Calais tided the inhabitants
with consternation, many of whom remarked,
if an attack from so small a number Of the
English. Vessels, and of such a comparatively
small , size, was so 'dreadful, what had their
sea-ports to expel mhen the English should believe
the. F'rench preparations• in sufficient forwardness
to demand a serious attack, with such. a force as
they could at any time send to destroy them ?
,The war, he says, is by no' means su popular in Fi
France as the French journals endeavour to repre-
sent it. Every person there knows that the Press is
in complete fetters, and that they reel- look for
nothing in their papers but what the 'Government
ch►ases to communicate. When they teati of the
extent at their preparations and pretended successes
at.sea, they ouly,shrog up their shoulders and piss
the paper to another. in private circles, where
they think themselves not under the eyes of Govern-
ment spies, of whOm there are aninttnense nutnber
in Paris, they speak out with loud execrittions of the,
warrind the;autlaor of it, and call it ilosophical
plan to fatten the -fish in,the Straits of Dover with
-the bodies of Ftenehthen. In one word, the Ft ast
CONSUL is universally execrated.
