LONDON, AUGUST 4, 1803.

Ws yesterday received the Moniteur and the
Brussels Paper to the ist inst. soon after our. Paper
had been put to Press. Their contents, however,
Were unimportant.

The Moniteur of the 28th ult. contains an ela.
borate article, extrafted from the Ain-curet
.the oh.,
Jed of which' is. to prove,, that :those Frenclimerr.
who when miserable fugitives frOm • their homes,
were so hospitably received and proteded in this
Country, and who have since so vehemently invoked
itadestruttion, are perfeftly justified in so'doing,.
having returned to the French shores. The writer
'very uselessly quotes Scripture, and adduces in.
stances from ancient and modern history to prOv
that the succour and proteCtion of unfortunate. fo.
feigners is a part of the public code of morality,
and then observes, that those Foreigners when
restored to their Native Land, are not bound
by any tie
,of allegiance to the Country which
proteiled them. All this 6 perfally true,
and there needed not an elaborate argument
to prove it. The English Journalists are then
abused for invoking treason on the part of those
Frenchmen who received benefits here in favour-of
gratitude; this is so wilful 'a misrepresentation,
that it is unworthy of notice. Some of the French.
men alluded to were very probably charged with in:
gratitude, and when we see those who were kindly
and benevolently fostered and proteelftd in this Coun-
try, go out of their way to revile ita Inhabitants in
the grossest terms, and to invoke in the harshest lan.
guage the destrudion of the British Empire, as has
already been the case in several instances, we shall
'sever cease. to charge them with the basest ingrati.
rude.

Several frivolous details are given in these Papers
of the FIRST CONSUL'S progress to the Theatre
and
from the Theatre at Brauselr.
It is stated in Letters from Berme, that the
French Troops were expeEted to evacuate Switzer.
lased, on the 15th of the present month.
One of these Papers states, that a descent was
made by the English at Camcale, in the night be.
tween the 16th and z7th ult. but it states nothing
further than that they re.embarked in the course of
the day without doing any mischief. In another it
is stated, that a few bombs were thrown into Havre,
by some English Vessels, on the :Ist ult. but it is
also added, without doing any injury.
The Moniteur gives the Debate in the Haase of
Commons on the measure brought forward bye e
St clt STASY At WAR for the Defence of the CuUnt! ,
With a. number of marginal notes, containing a
variety of scurrilous observations in the usual style
of the Moldiest., on the sentiments uttered by
the different speakers.
The French Funds were at 53. to.
