110L164 SALSA/II lousat

LONDON, I,E C E 111 II 20, 1303.

WE received yesterday evening the Path Papers
to the 7th inst. anti the Dutch joarwals of the
13th. The former are, as they have been fur some
time past, extregiely barren of intelligence. The
Mouiteur has published officially an account of the,
last appearance of Count MA:icor,. at the Consular
Court ; it does not vary in substance from thit
which we had previously received.

The Dutch Papers represent the prepirations fur
'the Invasion as going on with the greatest anivity;
and some of theta venture to assert that the despe,
rate attempt, will be made before the end of the present
month, We ate really tired, of repeating a!1 th'e4pe,
culations and rumours upon this sul'ica• The French
rcob,ibly trill come as soon as they can,
and we are

ready to receive them, let them come when the]
will. The Convention betwe= France and No!
land, respeaing the French" Troops which are to bi
kept in the pay of the latter Republic, affords an
other strong proof of the abjea state of vassalage
into which Holland has fallen, and from which i
seems the determination of France that she shall noi
escape., The I)utch,Jre_ not only bound by thi
Treaty to suffer an army of 18,04n0 Frenchmen a
_remain in their Territar4es for the purpose of keep
ing them in subjeaion, but they are also bound ti
pay thena.-

By our Rover Letter i 4 will he seen that annthet
• of the Frerich Gan-boats has been captured
.by one
of our Cruizers, the Basilisk Gun.brig, and that
even with the benefit of British seamanship, it could
not be made to keep above water till it reached
British Port. We rejoice that by the vigilance and
good condua of the Centinel at Dover Pier-lieu),
. the Hies of the men who were put on board the
French boa: were so providentially saved. ,
