LONDON, JULY 7, 1804.

By a Gentleman who arrived yesterday from
'Rotterdam, which place he 'eft on the Ist instant,
and had lately left France, .we are informed, thit
the discontent at BONAPARTea assuming 'the, Impe.
rial Dirlity is universal among all ranks, Civil and
Military. They say, that afrer twelve, years
fighting, they have merely 'exchanged their law.
ful Sovereign'
.tor a Corsican.. Tyrant, The fore,
ing of Conscripts, and carrying them in carts,
and marching them tied to hand, from
place' to place, is another .source of disgust.—
They' find it also almost, impossible to pay their
heavy Taxes without Trade, which is nearly an.
siiiiiated. In short, there is a general discontent

thrpoghout Frale. The People are, equally dis.
guated with the immense multitude of Spies which
frequent every public place, and make conversation
unsafe.

The Trade of Potterdam is totally at a stand,
and the. Dutch openly express their detestation of
the French, and their regret that they did nor eye
more errand assistance to the English last War, in
the attempt td rescue Holland from the Tyranny of
France.

Tits reports.of the warlike preparations of Rtisra
still continue it is stated in a private Letter from
Hamburgh, that the Russian Fleet has sailed from
Revel, which is to he joined by the Fleet from,
' CrOnstadt, and that a considerable Body of Troops.
had embarked, which were destined for Ireland.'.
Of the latter part of this Intelligence, it is neediest,
to.-say that it i.s tOiallY unfounded, although,
if Russia takes an active part in the Nyar, we •
think it by. no means 'improbable that a body
of Russian'Troops may he taken into our pay. Ac,
cording to other accounts, great naval preparations
arc going on in the Ruisian Ports io. the Black Ses,,:
fOr 'the' purpose of transportin-g Troops to Itaily,
-to expel the' Frcrich. If the Cabinet'. of St.
Petersburg!) hatt.„really. planned any such, lowecli..
Jinn, it must he- in consequence of
,a':-confident
:expeeiation- of ao.operation from the Continental
PoWers, particularly from Aliaria, because, great
as the power of Russia is, she certainly' could mike
no impression upon the. French in Italy, without
the assistance of the Alistrians. I • •

THE•ptincipal Paper devoted to the cause of Op_

.the capital of, Ana probable result of the War,.
which deserve simile notice, if it is only for their
singularity. It semis to have been said down by.
Ale Opposition Writer'sql the' commencsment of the
late War, as a rule,..always to represent every mode
of attack attempted by Great Britain against France,
as absurd and inyrafticable, and strenuously to-re.
commend the adoptinn of some other plan, which
the circumstances of the time rendered it impossi.
