and upon which, when confirmed, we shall most
joyfully congratulate our Country. The circum.
stances of our intelligence art these

THIS morning we received the Paris Paters to
the 6th inst. The FIST CONSUL arrived at Boo-
logne on the Ist inst. at eleven o'clock at night. At
half past two o'clock in the morning he visited the
Port and, all the Batteries ; he ordered six Gun-boars
and five Spanish Sloops to perform some evolutions,
but in order to give the First Consul a complete view
of their manoeuvres, they never ventured beyond
gunshot from the shore. The next day the First
Consul was entertained with a real Engagement be-
tween an English Frigate and two Cutters, :IA
some of the Freiich Gun.boats. The result of the
contest is not stated ; we may therefore suppose it
was not very favourable to the French, even though
it was in the presence of BONAYARTE himself, whop
as the Mossiteur expresses it, 4 assito upon the oc.

An Article from the Hague of the agth ult. con•
tains an order for Reprisals against England. Ai-
ter,reciting the grievances of which the English
Government has been the cause, the seizure of its
vessels and the dismissal, of its Minister, 'the Bata.
vial Government considering, as well -the honour
of their Nation, as their Connexions with their higb

ally France, decree, that there'shall be not 04
measures of precaution and Reprisals, but also
every species of serious and intrepid attack on do

Letters from Rome rate, that an English Syria'

These Papers state the arrival of the Frigate
La Consolante on the iotl► ult. from Gmaatakupo
after a passage of twenty.fivc, days, wi►h Rear.
AdMiral, LAcaossi on board. La C:onsclante it
stated to have taken on her passage an English
Vessel of 20 guns., _
Dispatches were received al Milein on the 133
ult. respeaing the reception of the' French Troops in
the Kingdom of Naples, which is stated to have bee"'
very amicable. The English there. had ,quitter{
the country, and embarked on board severtyl Eng'
fish Vessels. It does not appear, on what. Jai
the French entered the Neapolitan- territorie4 but
this article leaves no doubt of their being there.,
There seems to be a great contradi.)ion with
respea to the days of BONAPARTIOS arrival At dit'
ferent places. A Letter from Douai states, that $
notice had been published by the Prefeetuet, an-
nouncing the arrival of the First Consul on, the 3oth
