LONDON, MARC II 11, 1603.

TEU Thousoci additional Seamen and Marines
were- unanimous!y: voted last night in the House of
Comm Ons, after some conversation, in which, what.
ever difference of opinion might prevail upon minor
points, all agreed in supporting the Honour and the
Interests of the Country. Every measure has been
adopteil by His Majesty's Ministers which wisdom
and prudence couldtiClate, for the purpose of placing
the
n Lountry:ln that imposing attitude, which i 7
best calcubited to preserve Peace, if it can be main-
,
tained with Honour, and we earnestly and, sin.
cerely hope such will be the case ; or to meet the
renewal of Hostilities, if such should unfortunately
be the event, with a vigor and energy worthy of
Britain.

COURIERS pass almost daily between this Capital
and Path, General ANOREOSSY sent ail three
within the course:of twenty.four hours, As the
Negotiations are carried on between Lord WHIT.
WORTH and the French Government, it is possible
the General may not have been apprized of the at:-
tual state of things, or at least of, the point to
which they had reached.

As may be supposed, the present crisis gives rise
to many and•various reports. It was yesterday as.
serted in the City, that Dispatches had been re.
ceived, with accounts that Sir RICE". Ilicicettruzi
had prevented a French Squadron sailing.from Toulon.
—Another report stated that the Master °fa Vessel
arrived from the Mediterranean, brought an ac.
court of that Officer having met two French Ships
of the Line and six Transports steering .to the
Eastward. He spoke to them, demanding their
destination—they answered St. Domingo ; but as,
had that been the case, they had no business in
the latitude in which they were found, he carried
them into Malta. It was further reported, that the
French Funds had fallen on Tuesday to 59.—A1l
these are to be received is mere reports, to which the
critical and important circumstances of the time
give. rise, but which are always to be received with
great caution.
