LONDOIV, SEPTEMBER 12, 1803.

Wa have already undeceived the Public with re.
seta to the idle fUITV)IIt3 that Originated in some of
the ill.informed I,:ening Papers, of an Expedition
h•tving sailed front eD. %i under the command
of Mai it-General Mooaz. He Troops under
the orders of that excellent Officer are still en.
c,imped ilt Sh,rfle C/f near Itrythe, nor have any
i,rders yet been received in the Camp for their
moving, nor do they exped any for a fortnight or
three tAec4i to come. Th? Transports all rerneein
to the Down:,

Al the Deal Boats armd with Itarrortadus art
10 assemble to.morrow at Widmer ,Castle, where
t!ey wilt go through the =oeuvres of attacking
and repulsing an Enemy in the presence of the
PAINCESi of WALES, Mr. PITT, Lora KEITH,
Land CARRINGTON, Lord I'vlAttort, and a large
a,sernillage of Officers, Naval and Military. Each
B hat will be provided with six rounds of cartridges
and ammunition for small arms, so that a very grand
and gratifying exhibition is expeEted.

OUR Letter from Yarnrogib will be found rani.
cularly irt:eresting ; we the more especially advert
to it, as it contains Intelligence upon which the
Public may implicitly rely. The Dutch, it appears,
ate very backward in their preparations, and no..
thing but absolute compulsion on the part of BONA.
PARTE will force them to venture out against us. We
wonder, by the bye, that the Text,/ is not included
in the list of Enemys' Ports in a state of Blockade.
Neutral Vessels arc passing every day from thence
to the Ports of France.

This morning arrived a Mail frost► Gottemburgh ;
but no intetoting intelligence was received by it.

THIS morning the Irish Mail of the Sth arrived.
The Special Commission had adjourned from Wed.
nesday last to Friday, so that on Thursday no pro.
eeedingi took place. We have, however, the trials
and comfit-lion of two more of the Rebels on Wed.
nesday. On that day Emmett was arraigned, and
is to take his trial on Wednesday next.

ON Saturday we stopped the Press to announce
the receipt at length of Paris Journals from the
toth ultimo to the is: instant. As to any in.
formation they afford they might as well have re.
mined in France, for they contisin ►ittle else but pre.
tended articles of intelligence fabricated at Paris, to
suit the purposes of the Ft IST CONSUL. Amongst
the most prominent of these is a pretended Letter
from Augsburg, in the Itioniteur of the 27th ult.tvhich
states that it is doubtful whether the Importation
of English Merchantlize into the Austrian States will
not be entirely prohibited, and that if this measure is
not adopted, it is very probable that the duties on
English Goods carried into the Austrian Dominions
will be considerably augmented. This is doubtless
intended as a hint to tl►e Austrian Cabinet, but we
will not do so much injustice to the Cabinet of Vi.
enna to suppose it will be foolish enough to adopt
the suggestion. A pretended Letter from Ham.
burgh, from the same mint, speaks oldie assembling
of a Danish Army in Holstein, and talks in an autho.
rirative tone of the danger of provoking France. In
short, such a system of deception is praCtised in the
Parisian Journals, that little else is to be gleaned
from them than the determination of 1101w/tau
to use every endeavour to dupe the Powers of Eu.
rope through the medium of an enslaved Press, and
to injure as much as he possibly can the interests of
this Country. Scarcely any real information is
given in them that has any relation to the political
situation of Europe.
The Maniteur of the loth ult. publishes three
Decrees of the FIRST CONSUL, dated from Antwerp,
so long ago as the zoth of July, the first of which
declares that no vessel sent from the Ports of Eng.
land, or which has touched at those Ports, shall be
received in the Ports of France ; the second that no
English Flag of Truce, Packfetsboat, or other vessel,
shall be received in any of the Ports' of France be-
tween Brest and the mouth of alte'Sdhildt, and that
Flags of Truce shall be alone received in ►he Bay of
Audierne near Brest, and the third places an Em.
bargo on all Fishing Vessels of above seven
tons butilen,'and direds that the Crews of the BtiAts
under seven tons, which may continue to carry on
the Fishery, shall be composed of persons either
above the age at which they would be liable to
the maritime conscription, or under the age of fif.
teen. Another Decree prohibits the exportation of
Wood, and another places at the disposal of the
Minister of Marine 44.62 Conscripts, to be em.
ployed as labourers In the Ports and Maritime Arse.
nals. A Bason is ordered to be constrated on the
Scheldt capable of containing twenty.five Ships of
, the Line and a proportionate number of Frigates
an►l smaller vessels. A Canal is also ordered to be
constrated to join the Rhine, the Meuse and the
Scheldt, and another to connect Rheims with the

struaing in different places Gon.vessels and Flat.
bottomed-boats. Amongst other Decrees is also
that for appointing Vice.Atliniral Bau ix to the
co►nmand of the National Flotilla, with the title of
Admiral.

By an Extra& from the Register of the delibera.
Lions of the Council of State of the Italian Republic,
we find, that they have ordered the immense Force
to be constrthed of two Frigates and twelve Gun-
floats, which are to he placed at the dispos4l of the
t Loa CO NW I during the War.
From the Ministry of the. Marine, we are inform 7
td of $ few trifling , exploits of some 'French Cha-

loupes, anti -.,ther Vessels, in recapturing some small
Vessels which had been taken by English Priva.
teens, and in capturing one or two British Vessels.
The last Price of the French Funtii, mentioned

ACCOUNTS were this morning received at
Lloyd's, that a large Ship like an Indiaman was
seen in the Offing off Plymouth Sound on Saturday
evening, which it is hoped may be the Lord Nehou,

ing, had been taken by the French. The Fox Cut.
ter, on her passage from Liabon, fell in with an
English East Indiaman, which the Captain of the
Fox, from her nut strewing any Colours, and having
shot-holes in her sails, cm -winded to have been
captured. He gave information to the &qui',
Copt. BUM, a few hours after, who immediately
went in search of her, and it is hoped she may be
re.taken.
