near a fort.called the Haak.

Ligurian and Italian Republics are to be united;
while others *flirt that they will be given to the Kies

The Government of Genoa, aided by the Bifhops,
has not only fucceeded in removing the murniorsoc-
cafioned by the recruiting of failors for France, bat
bad the effe& of inducing a great number from the
Gulph of Spezziaco offerthemfelves to fart on board
the French fleet.
On the zBth oh. two French prawns arrived in the
Road of Flufhing. which were built at Antwerp, be-

like preparations ; no lefs than aoo,oocr men are in
readiaefs to march; and twice *heady. it Items, they
ben had orders to that effea. In January alone
so,ooo recruits were raifed : and near Grodno and
Wifdowitz, there are are two atoß formidable parks

Anvers'? Mitten to.—iseparations in the
harbour of Boulogne are mo rmidable, and rein-
forcements are daily•received from the ports and cities •
of the interior of Belgia. Since the Englifh have
perceived there movements, they have greatly aug-
mented their cruizers on cur coatis. A divifion of
frigates, cutters, and brigs, is eentineally in fight of
Ottend. It is generally thought that the equipment
at Mend is not deftined to join that of Boulogne,
but tobe employed in fending an army on fome part
of the Suffer coaft. However it may be, every thing
is ready for the projeft, and the expedition, which is •
principally to run from the mount of the Seine to ,
that of the Scheid, will be fill more formidable than
was expetted. A great number of Brier& pritoneri
are arrived at Giver, being the crew of the 'fiiitte
lately firanded, and taken on the coal', of Bretagne.
At Verdun and Toul the number has been lately in.
creafed ; but there is stow a report, that an exchange
