.GUERNSET AND jERSEr.

JELSET, APRIL 27.
Every information from France more and
more confirms the bottle refolutions of the enemy
againft thefe Wands. Government being at a con-
fiderable expence, we have the very belt intelli-
gence from thofe employed on the coat of France.
By 4 Gentleman juft arrived we learn, that Gene-
ral HE/MISFIT, who commanded the Expedition
to Ireland, is now at St. Maloes, where he has
refided more than a month, to make, by orders
of the FIRST Cowan*, the neceffary arrange-
ments for another. Expedition; but whether againft
England or Ireland, we have not yet been able
to afcertain. Troops were hourly at St. Maloes
expelled from Rennes. Several frigates, tome of
which lately flipped out of Brett, were at St. MaloCs,
at which place there were alfo 75 gun-boats, and
fuels a variety of flat-bottomed boats as were ca-
pable of accommodating nearly 20,000 men, with
field artillery, &c. &c. for a decent. Recolleeting
the late obfervation of BONAPAITZ, that he would,-
when neceffitated, look upon thefe iflands as ftep-
ping-flones to England, we begin, I affure you,
to confider ferioufly of our unfortunate approxi-
mation to France. Since the laft reconnoitre, we
learn, that the troops expeCted have arrived-at
St. Maloes; that the enemy's strength had conk-
quently very much increafed ; and that, knowing.
an immediate objea was a defcent on thefe iflands,
our apprehenfions, but not our fears; have alto
multiplied with our critical emergency
'CU •PRIL
I have Peen an Englifh Captain that lately left
Brett in a cartel, who affures me,, that, by inforMa-
don which he can depend upon, there are three
great Armies along the enemy's emit, amount-
ing in all to I so,ooo men ; that thefe will foon be
augmented to at leaft too,ooo more, and that
their grand objea was the invafion of England
and Ireland, bY attempting, at all hazards, de-
(cents in a variety of places, fo as to enfure the ef.
fed of fome. This mode of attack, the Captain re-
marked, would divert, if not diftrad, the vigilance of
ourfleetsandcruizers; andthe enemy flattered itfelf
that the landing and co-operation of too,ooo men
would foon force their way to the capital. Ar-
rangements were making at Brett on the Roth ult.
for the accommodition of so,ooo men on their
march thither, where the Fuse' COnstrs was daily
expeted to review them previous to fome grand
expedition. Till embarkation, they will be en-
camped in the neighbourhood. At Havre, 20,000
men are to be Rationed ; 40,000 more at St. Ma-
loes; and 20,000 at Granville; making in this
quarter, is toto, 130,000 men. Should the news
from Egypt be detrimental to the interefts of
France, BONAPARTE will be obliged to make fome
extraordinary exertion to appeafe the people and
confirm his fupreme authority.

Orders, fomewhat fimilar to thole which were
Anted three years fence, are now circulating from
the War-Office to the Army and Yeomanry along
the coats :—they direct, that in the event of an
invafion, all cattle and horfes be immediately
driven into the interior, with a view to impede the
progrefs of the enemy, who canpot be fuppofed,
from our fuperiority at fea, to be able to bring
with them a proportionate number of draught
and other horfes. The book, for the inftruaions,
occupies feveral pages, recommends the felling
Itrees in the roads the enemy is to pars, in different
Lnumerous fituations, &c.
