THE GRAND EXPEDITION.

The time when the large Expedition now preparing
will a!lually fail, depends on the contingencies which
may refult from the prefent (late of Affairs upon the
Continent—but we are allured that Minifters are inde
fatigable in their different departments, and that loch
aaivity has been employed that every thing will be
ready in fourteen days from this date.
An irnmenfe number of Tranfports it. hired ;
Ordnance, Military, and Medical Stores have been
embarked ; and a large body of troops is in the
neighbourhood of the points of embarkation ; fo that,
on the very Sufi receipt of expeaed intelligence from
the Continent, the troops will be hurried on board,
and fail without a moment's delay.
In additiOn to the quantity of Stores now on board
the Tranfports, 30,000 lets of accoutrements were
ordered from a Houle in the City within tittle two
days.

Though perhaps charges may yet be made, the
relent arrangement of the Staff is as follows :
