AONDbIV, &:NE 2,t, 1803,

AN Attack is apprehended upon the Islands of
Guertitt:y and jersey, or at least upon the latter, in
consequence of which Five Frigates sailed yester-
dly from Portsmouth for that station, and several
more Ships of War are under orders. When we
recoiled that Sir Pam SAISMAREZ commands by
Sea, and that General GORDON' is Lieutenant-Go.
vernor, and Commander in chief of the Troops in
Jersey, we entertain no apprehensions for the safety
of that Island.

' , A French National Brig, of zo guns, from Mar.
tiniqne, been sent into Plymouth, by His Ma.
jesty's Ships Dragon and Enilimicm.

WE yesterday' stopped .the Press 'to state the re-
cFipt of Paris Journals to the 19th instant.
The Afolliteur Of the 17th •gives the London
news from The Sum of the 13th, and the article
stating the King's unexpeetedly coming to town on
that day, is a Note which informs us of the nature
of the Dispatch which the. French Messenger brought
who reschecl London Of) the Sunday Evening. He
brought over the Capitulation of Hanover concluded
by Gen. MO it T 1 e tt, for .-its MA J. gpTY'S Ratification,
the 'CH 1E P CONSUL waiting for the K tic's kali-
ficatiox before
,he rtstifiesi it himself ! The insolence
of this measure could 'only spring from a little and
malignant mind
„A statement appearq in the /lioniterir of the 16th,'
issued frum the office of the Minister of War, of the
entry of General. MORI' I Elt into the City of illmover
ot:the sth intiani. It 'is said in this statement
that the most.exait disApline was preserved amongst
the French Troops. The French Army found in
the City 15,000 Musquets, 'co pieces of Artillery,
'and various oche!. stores. In the Fortress of
also there were 500 Pieces' of Cannon.
General. FRE R E had marched, for C;ixbatven to in.
tercept the passage of all English Vessels on the
Elbe; and General RYVAUD, who was in possession
of Perden, was charged with the execution of a si-
milar purpose on the Inscr. General Mon'r rER adds,
that although there was little public money found,
the means would be furnished of paying the French
,Troops, without the assistance of France: of this
there is
_little doubt. The Hanoverian Army is
stated to have consisted of 26 Battalions of Infan.
try, of 500 men each, and 4000 Cavalry.
Letters dated from Hanoier of the 7th; inserted
in the other Papers, assert, that the greatest tran-
quillity prevailed there, and that the French con.
duELed themselves with the greatest hortgio. In
.these Letters, as upon every occasion relating to
Hanover, an opportunity is.taken. of levelling the
most scurrilou'vand contemptible abuse against the
English Princes. The sarne.Letters state, that the
Elbe and the-Weser were open to Neutral Veisels,
but shut against the English, .and that the French

had found at Stadt a r rive of 3o guns.
From Bream, of the Bth, it is stated, that the
French were in the neighbourhood of that City;
that an pmWrao had been laid upon the English
vessels; as an indemnity fof the liremen vessels

which had been detained here) and that all Bills of

Exchange froii gnialula orLPlfirolfanil gem4Nrgh,
had been 2' Fatettecli

A few, and a very few Captures of English V.
ith are detailed in the Aloniteur, which will be fount)
under the 11.11i3 head.'

These Pdpers` give no account of the departure
of the Flttsr Co NSU t. for Brusieh, but the Miniater
of Marine set out for that city on Monday the 13th,
and a detachment of Mamelukes, destined for the
escort of the Ft RST CO NSU L, left Paris on Wednet.
day—the latter therefore is probably on bib journey
to Brussels: he would probably set off on Saturday
last.

Letters from Consta;z6oA, inserted itf the French
Papers, as they have invariably done for some time
past, give a most flourishing account of the state of
French influence at the Porte. The purpose of these
accounts is obvious.

-Leghorn has been declared in a state of siege by
order of General R AT, and all the English there
declared Prisoners of War upon their parole. To
English vessels in the port, richly laden, are staled
to have fallen into the handi of the French.

i.
Tie City of Antwerp has been placed under
litary execution, for not having furnished its con'
tingent of Conscripts.
The F:encli Funds were at 48. go.

communications P It is a thing that ought not to
be thought of. If BONAPARTE shall set that these
communications of the Russian Ministers have the
effect of damping our exertions, he will probably
have them carried on during the summer, or until
be is prepared to strike his blow of Invasion ; and
if we are not duly prepared, what may not be the
consequence ? Let us be armed against the ut.
most daring of the Enemy, and then look around
us in the midst of our security ; but let it be
remembered, it is only by timely and vigorous
preparation that we can be secure. The Mediation
of Russia is certainly not an unimportant objeel ;
but our first considera:ion ought to be to preserve
our Country, and when we have convinced our
Enemy that we arc not only invulnerable to his at.

tempts, but are perhaps able successfully to assail

him in our turn, then, and not till then, shall we
obtain a Peace worth having—an honourable, secure,
anti permanent Peace.

:Some time ago a Commission ryas appointed'by a
certain Board, to inquire into abuses which were
supposed to .exist at three Head-Quartets of the
Royal Marinei,. and a Letter was sent from that
Boatd-tO the-Commanding Officers of each of the
three Divisions, beginning thus :—.41 Whereas he.
*Outs and flagitious praftiCes have been carried oh
under your cunimand, &c, &c. &c." Thus old and

constitute a fifth pan of the men voted for the

is at present allowed for men enteriniL ix* that

The consequence of .this is? that the Marines
get no men. From one division only there, are
5 captains, t;¢ subalterns, det serjeants, as: ler-
porak, eodrumnieis, and 106 privates, making an
