Yefterday Mr. 'roams Rated the outlines of his plan
for recruiting the army. Eight new regiments of
Infantry are tobe railed. ten battalions added to ezift-
ing regiments, sOOO added to the Guards, and Sono
additional Cavalry. In aft spoon men. The recruit-
ing for the Army of Referve is to he fufpended ; and
the bOuntieb for the new levies not to exceed ten gui•
was, eselufive of levy money. He alfo propoted
to bring over to this country ro,ooo of the Irifh l•'i.
adding at the fame time a fimilar number to
that force.

An additional foreign force of 8000 men is likewife
propefed by Miniacts, in addition to a levy now go-
ing on in our American and Weft Indisn pofreffions,
wbick is eflimated at *ow men.

With refpelt to thofe counties which have not made
up their quota of men for the Army of Referve, it is
intended to propofe a pecuniary fine, proportioned
to the number of men deficient.

The rumour circulated about tee days ago. of Bo-
WASANTII having arrived at Boulogne. is now known
to have been unfounded. It is now. however, re-
ported in the Public Offices, that he aaoally arrived
there On Saturday or Sunday lafi. If to, we may foon
expo ta Come movement on the part of the enemy.

The force which attacked the Nand of Goree, (the
capture of which we mentioned yenerday,) confined
of five privateers of t 4 guns each, and one of ao
guns. The attack lalled ejght hours. dbring which
the !mall garrifon Lonfifting of fifty or fixty men,
under the command of Captain FILA zr IL, made every
exertion that could be expelled from the zeal and
bravery of Brian' foldiers. The force of the enemy'
amounted to fix hundred men, and the garrifon find.
ing that farther refinance world be fruidefs. were
reloaandy obliged to furrender the plate on honour.
able terms. The French had forty-!even killed in
the attack. and,a great many wounded, among the
former was the commander of the expedition; the
lots on our fide was twenty killed, and feveral
wounded.

On the s4th of February, a fchooner cartel failed
from Senegal for Goree, to take on board the Englilh
troops, and convey them to England. After the ('Sr.l
render of the Wand, tso French troops arrived at
Goree from Senegal, to reinforce the garrifon.
By ;4e fame conveyance which brought this intel-
ligence we learn, that a French privateer fchooner
was loft on the bar of Senegal about the end of Ja-
puny. and that feveral French privateers were cruis-
ing off the coati of Africa, which it is much to be
feared will pick op a great many of our tradingveffels.
The Captain of a Swedifh brig, juft arrived at Fal-
mouth from Teneriffe. reports, that the French pri-
vateers which were lately cruising off that ifland,
have failed for the fame deftination.

The following is an Extra& of a Letter from a
Gentleman at Senegal to his Friend in London,
dated Feb 12, 1804:
1. The Mind of Gone was attacked and taken by capitulation,
after an abalone reran:cc of two hours and a half, an Use sBth
ultimo, by a force of fix hundred men, In an armed Zip of so gum,
four fehooners of so guns each, and one of a guns. The gartifon
confined of between yo and 6o men, of whom nine wore killed and
a few wounded. The French loft about too in killtdandwounda."

A private letter from Berlin, dated March to, Pays,
" Citizen La Foassv. the French Minifter at our
Court. received a courier from Paris on the ad intl.
and immediately went to the Hotel of Count Hann-
WITS, where he remained for nearly two hours, and
loon afterwards Count HAUCWIT2 demanded and
obtained an audience of the King, and when it was
over informed the French Minifter of his return, who,
though it was late in the evening, called upon our
Mini:;er again, and afterwards difpatched the Courier
back to Paris. The nest day another French courier
arrived. and had another conference with our Mini.
, Iter, who had another audience of pis Sovereign, and
afterwards conferred with the French Minifter, who
again hint away the fecond courier within ten hours
after his arrival. There tranfations and this hurtle
wiled many inquiries to be made in our diplomatic
circles, and the to:routs were as various as uncer•
rain. Since that time, four more French couriers
have arlived, and it is commonly believed, that
Bo AAAAA TS has demanded force ft vere meal-Gres
with regard to Louts XVIII. who yet refides at
Waifaw ; an'l that our Government has refilled the
demand. What it is, we know :Int ; but report
lays, that Bn AAAAA re has demanded, that Louis
XVIII. fhould he given up as imp:icated in the
late pretended crinfpiracy ; other reports fay.
that he has onj required the infpeeliots of the pa.
peas of the exiled Motrarch, and that he may be
confined in fume Prtiffan fourth, until a peace with
England. This letter, though written in a cautious
ftyle, indicates both the pretesil; nit of the Ufurper,
and the opinion he has of the Councillors of his
Paussams Majssrr, when he dales to infult a legal
Sovescign with a dem tad Cu olletAve,

fo eontrary tads* laws of homanky, of hnfpitaliti t I
a demand fo impertinent and fo cruel, which, !Cu,
quieked in, would make one King the accomplice
of a regicide in the murder of another. In better
times,,when Princes were Ws felfins, and their h 6.
sifters kfs corrupt, filch a demand would have been
regarded as a declaration of war, and every crown-
ed bead would have armed in the defence of an un-
fortunate Monarch, whom stomas can reproach with
a vice, while virtu' are as manifelt is his misfor
tunes, and who, from our private but authentic in-
formation, we know was a ftranger to the proceed-
ings of Gunton, as well as of the plans of Picx t-
oll!. and attic (endowing bf Moar.u.

" We have teen perfons who left Warfavela ft month,
and they pofitively alien that Louis XVIII. who
refles there under the name of Count De Li:A.l,lcl.
dom leaves his houfe, but goes to church ; fees no
other company but his relatives, or thofe French No-
blemen who have united their defiiny with his own,
and that he is chiefly occupied with domellic aven
tions to his unfortunate niece, the Ditchers of M-
-0(31;8481 s, the daughter of the Royal Martyr, Louis
XVI. Even the PruiLan Generals, prejudiced as
they are in favour of Bo , pay that refpea
to the virtues of Louis XVIII. which they owe to
his rank." `

The Rifle Company of the Rapti Artillery Com-
pany, confining of about 6o rank and file, will march
tomorrow morning about eight o'clock, from their
ground into quartets at Epfom. Each man is to be
provided with 144 rounds of ball cartridges. They
will return shout Wednefday.
A letter from Affiford, dated March 27, fAys—
The ktter from Dungenefs, which Rates that ftrong
detachments of the sad, and Rifle Corps, were em-
barked at Sandgate, to accompany the expedition
againfl one of the enemy's ports, is incorrea, as no
Coach dmlnflame has taken place : indeed it is ridi-
culous in the extreme to imagine, that an attempt•
would be made to form any of the forts with a
handful of men, on a coaft lined with foldiers. The
whole of General Monas's brigade_ are Rill in quar-
ters, and General Sir DAVID PUNDAS was expelled
hefterday at Hythe to review them. There is &tong
opes entertained here by the Officers of the line, of
being very foon enabled to complete their regiments
by volunteers from the Militia. • There mull be an
ad paired to fanition foch • meafure, which will
certainly prove very difagreeable to Militia Colonels.

Yefterday A Court of Direaors was held at the Eall

Adams from Gibraltar, dated the 23d of Feb.
mention that trade was uncommonly brifk there,
owing to the communication having been opened
with Spain. The Spaniards were hourly arriving to
make purchafes of Englith goods for ready money,
and the place has not been fo lively for Tome years.
—There can be no longer any doubt but that the
Spann Government has given permifflon for Ma-
laga Barcelona, and the feveral ports, to be opened,
which have been Cu llng (hut on account of the epi.
demic diforder which prevailed there.
A letter from Madrid, dated Feb. 28, Goys, " We
have received, by a courier from Malaga, the infor-
mation, that the Toulon fleet paired left week the
Streights of Gibraltar. An American Captain, who
came from Gibraltar, circulated this report ; and
added, that the Governor of that fortrefs had fent a
frigate and two cutters to watch the French fleet.-
1 This reps rt meets with no credit here. An Auto da
Fe, at which the diplomatic corps, with a number of
other perfons, were prefent, took place here the agth
intl. The fufferer was a woman of the lower order,
convi&ed of adultery, fraud, and blafpherny. She
is condemned to eight years imprifonment. The
Spanith Court has agreed to the cefflon of Lonifiana
to America, but the limits are not yet fettled, becaule
the Americans pretend to extend them at the expence
both of the province of Welt Florida and that of
Mexico."

On the z3d inßant died, at Maldon Barracks._
univerfally and defervedly lamented by the whole of
his Regiment and numerous acquaintance, Adjutant'
Janes UPTOh, of the Firß Royal Lancafter Regi-
ment of Militia : his lots will be long felt in his
Corps, from his good natured and friendly difpnil-
tion, fincerity and real gooduefs of heart. He never
appeared fo happy as when contributing to the corn•
fort and convenience of his friends. His remains
were interred in Maldon Church with the ufual fo.
lemnity, attended by the whole of the Regiment,
the General and other Officers of the garrifon.
On Monday morning !all. the worfied mills of
RAMSBOTTOM and Swaim., of Bradford, were totally
c,,rilumed by fire. The fuffercts were fortunately in-
lured by the Imperial Infurance Company.
An alarming fire broke out yellemay morning in
the lliaillerYof NiefliS. CALVLRT, CLAIRII. and Co.
at Vauxhall. It happened by the hurtling of the
great hill, which contained re.ooo gallons ..1
which inflantly was inflamed, and threatened the
immenfe eßabliffiment, as well as the neighbourhood
with ruin. It was very near the fecond Ilia, which
was charged with a quantity of fpirit above proof,
the explofion of which would have communicated
to eco tons of mauritaEtuted gin, almolt equal in
Rrength to fpirirs of wine. The prefence of mild,
courage and ailiivity of the two men attending the
Rill, Caved the dean:Rion of the whole, by throwing
in a quantity of grains into the RA, hole and into.
throng the Raines. But for this prudent oa. 400
ton, of fpirit, upon which the duties have been paid,
with all the premifes, would have been deßroyed.
They are infured for between so and &wool in the
Britifh and Imperial Fire Offices t but the aaoal da-
mage is ellimated at from 1 a to 15001. as half.f the
kali ran into at barge, which fortanattly lay clots

DIAL, MAICII 19.--Oor blockading rquadren

have again returned their Rations. The veffels off
Boulogne are, it is laid, to be reinforced. each with
a party of nom Bloaters, to aa on board in cafe of
the enemy attacking them in a calm, which will un-
doubtedly give them a fuperiority, as the enemy's
vefels by being fo low, mill be open to them. It is
a great pity, as tbeAummer is now advancing, when
we may espea calms and light wind!, that we have
not a number of boats calculated either for failing or
pulling with oars, and huilt with fufficient Brats*.
to mount an t 8 or a4-pounder. Thefe boats would
no doubt annoy the enemy serf moth, on occult**a
when larger Teich, in confequenee of the lightnefa
of the wind, would be ungovernable. A report was
circulated here to day, that the enemy had embarked
a great number of troops at Boulogne, but I do tot
know whether it be true or not.
