LONDON, AUGUST 29, iBo3.

Ws regret that we cannot confirm the statement
which we made on Saturday, upon the authority of
Letters from Deal, respeaing an Insurrection which
was said to have taken place at Paris. There has
since been no arrival from France, and we think if
such an important event had taken place, it must
have by this time received confirmation through
some channel or another. We arc not with.
out hopes, however, that this report is but a
precursor of some great and momentous reality,—
It is well known that WeeAu has ever been
greatly dissatisfied with the Consular Government,
and there is reason to believe that a considerable
proportion of the French Army participates in
these sentiments. MoREAU • likewise condemns I
very openly the meditated Invasion of England, as
a measure absurd, desperate, and impradicable ;.
and as the period for the execution of the threat of
the Chief Consul advances, there is good reason for
supposing that the Army itself may be disposed to
adopt the reasonings and sentiments of General
lvloaseu. We begin to think, that the threat.
ened Invasion, whether it be attempted or not,
will prove the downfal of the Corsican Usur.
per. We know that intelligence of importance
from Paris , has been for some days anxious-
ly 'expeeqed here, and we entertain the hope
that it may not he long before we hear of some-
thing that may prove highly satisfadory to the
13ritish Nation. In the meantime, however, we
would earnestly recommend 'a prosecution of those
spirited and vigorous exertions for the General De-
fence, which we have reason to believe, have in
the same proportion damped the hopes. of the
Enemy, that they have excited the admiration
of the world, and placed our Country beyond
the reach of misfortune. A respettable American
'Merchant who came lately from Paris, began to be
alarmed for the fate of England, when he saw the
formidable preparations which were making in
France. When he reached 1.,n-eion, however, and
witnessed the spirit that animates the British Na-
tion, and the vigorous measures that were pursuing
for our defence, he acknowledged that he felt per.
feetly easy with respeet to the event, as these far
surpassed in energy the preparations making in
France. Let us complete our System of Defence,
by our valiant Citizens who have taken up arms
in their Country's cause, making themselves as good
Soldiers as the nature of Volunteer Service will per-
mit—We may then rest upon our arms, 4nd view
with tranquillity the storms which we are convinced
arc once snore about to agitate the political hemis.
phere of France.

that Port, and discovered Eleven Sail of Ships
of War, of various descriptions, rigged and rigging.

Capt. HuTcHl btu% who tome time since arrived
at Madras in she Dirpatch, from Cochin China,
brought advices reporting, that the King had' issued
an edit by which free ingress into all the Ports of
Cochin China had been granted to all English yes.
sets, with exemption from port charges and duties
of every, description. This exclusive mat of fa.
vour to English vessels has been occasioned by the
fivourible impression of the national character,
made by our Merchants trading thither.
Generals Dcssotots and CH morti R, who corn.
mind the' Brigand* in St. Domingo, early in July
sent a Eq.; of truce on board one of our cruizers, in
the bite of Leogane, proposing to the Commander
in Chief at Jamalea, to ati in concert, with him
againslthe French, and requiring a supply of stores.

V.arly in July en aimament was assembling at
Dominique. The Royals, and some oilier Regi.
menu 'had arrived there from Antigua, &c.--Mar.
tinique, •it was stated, was the ohjed of attack.
The French garrison was sickly.
All ihe English at Guadaloupe have been im-
prisoned, and an embargo has been imposed on all
French vessels, in consequence of the numerou s
British cruizers which were stationed of the Island
some vessels, on the point of sailing fur France,
had been obliged to unload.

A letter ,from St, Pierre's, Martinique, of the
'
3,1 July., mentions, that all British Merchants had
been ordered to, eave that Island immediately. All
the French ships
~were assembled at 'Fort Royal.
Sevecd British cruizers:_were ofF the Island ; but
the report of their having Olt 32 sail of French
vessels out of St. Pierre's appears tore exagger.
ated.

It is confidently asserted that France has con.
seated to withdraw its troops from the bordert of
the ntbo and the Weer, which are to be occupied
by Prussian troops, and that Genetal lit.ucHea,
.the Prussian Cominandet in Westphalia, has sent
orders to several, regiments to- hold themselves
ready to march for that destinatiOn. Except a
French troops, all the Otileri:tre,
it is said,. immedi~+tely to evacuate Hanover.
