Though we think it our duty to put our armed
countrymen on their guard, that they may be pre-
pared to difcharge the high duty that devolves on
them, we [hall ever be careful, as we have hitherto
been, not to excite unneceffary alarms.'

That we had firong grounds for what we Hated,
within thrie few days, refpeaing the intention cf the
enemy to attempt loon the long-threatened invalion,
will appear manifeft from the fukhined order fent by
Lord linattiNcroN, the Commander of the London
DifitiEl, to the Commanding Officers of Volunteer
Corr.. Similar orders have, we believe, been fcnt to
Volunteer Corpi in other Dilltidts :

Augur! S. iBOS.

confegoenee of intelligence received by Governm-ert
wf the embarkation of large bodies of trooi3 in Holland, of a fleet
of men of war being ready to Lit from thence, and of the inereafed
preparations of the French at Boulogne, and its neighbourhood,
I have received orders from his Royal Highnefs the Commander
ill Chief, to dived t the General Officers, and Infpedling Field 016•
tees attaeled to the Volunteer Corps, to give notice to thofe Corps,
of the; ipoffibility of their being fpeedily called upon for fcrvice;
and alfo to fufpend all furloughs for working during the harvaft,
all further orders. I have the honour to be,
" Your moft obedient and moR humble [avant,
" HARR! NGTON,
" General Commanding the London Diftridt."

Orders were yeflerday received in town from his
Royal Highnefs the Commander in Chief, for fur.
pending all furloughs and leave of abrence in the at
my, and requiring all officers and foldiers abfent on
leave, to join their rerpetlive regiments with all pof
fible difpatch. Government have iffued orders for the
immediate inrpeaion of all the Yeomanry and Volun-
teers of the kingdom, together with the waggons at.
tubed to each Corps. Orders were alto iffued in the
courre of yeflerday, and day before, to the Comman-
ders of feveral Volunteer Corps, and from them to the
Officers under their command, for the purpofe of af•
certaining their effdlive force, with a view to their
imnsediare fervice, fhould circumflances render it ne•
ceffary, or for the purpore of improving them in their
difcipline. Among the cafes to which we allude, the
brigade of Royal Eatt India Volunteers are ordered
upon permanent duty this month by alternate regi-
ments. The 2d Regiment, commanded by Colonel
Sir,HucH INGLIS, is to take the lead, and sill march,
we underfiand, for Chatham Lines, or Chelmsford,
next week. Each regiment will not remain upon
duty longer than fourteen days. The Loyal South-
wark Volunteers, with lharp•lhooters attached, fo
lately encarned at Eprom, are ordered to moiler
on Tuerday next at their head-quarters, with arms,
clothes, and accoutrements, in •complete order, to
march immediately for field exereire. Lieutenant
Colonel ALCOCK, the commander of the regiment,
affigns as the reafon for this fudden call, that " the
fituatinn of the country requires they fhnuld be upon
the alert." It is unneceffary to enumerate more cafes
of this kind. It is alfo confidently reported that or-
ders will be iffued next Monday for embodying the
levy ea ett# ; and that a meifenger wai fent lit the
conrfe of yefletday to Weymouth, with the necefrary
orders for hie Mejasrv's fignature. There prcceed-
logs clearly fbew that Government have grotmdlo
apprehend an attempt on the part of the enemy to
carry the threat of invafion into immediate execution.

An American Gentleman, who arrived in town
on Wednefday from Paris, informs us, that though
he had, till of late, confidered all the threats of • the
French to invade this country as mere gafeonade, there
tan be no kind of doubt th.rt it is now ferioufly intend-
ed to be attempted. The preparations:ire grcat,and the
aBivity in every department Inch that it would be in-
fatuation in this country to defpife them, or confider
the danger as chimerical. We truft there is but one
mind in the Empire, and that more than nftral care,
vigilance, and attention will, at the prefent ctifis, be
given in every quarter, that all may be in readinefs to
perform thofe ditties and make thole fatrifices which
the lafety of our common country may require..
It was reported yefterday, and believed by many,
that the Dutch fleet had.aattally•pnt to fea. We
'have not been able to trace this rumour to any au-
thentic fource ; and as Admiral RUSiILe whole (qua-
dron has been confiderably reinforced, has failed, for
his old Ration off thd Tezel, we do not think they will
find it fo cafy to put to fen, as tii embark foldiers.
Difpatches were yeflerday received from Lord
VELSON, brought by the THOMAS Li-ant-port, but they ,

are not of a later date than there received by the
Prcitz. It is underlined to be certain, however,
that on the 28th Lord Ns tsom was off Cape St. Vin-
cent. He had ken Adrniral COLLINGVIOOD, and fe-
parated from him. Admiral Cottradwoon was to
remain off Cadiz with the reft of his fquadron.
This day we received the fubjuined letters from
Gibraltar, which prefint fome interefiing details re-
fpeeiing Lord NELSON'S fleet, as well as the prepara-
tions making by the Spaniards to attack that garrifon:
