Since the keturn of the Rochefort fquadron to
Prance was andounted legate'', the general opinion

:1 the city is that the Coisbined Setts are dellined
or the Ea* tidies. However, if the intelligence
communicated in the following letter, received this
morning, fie well founded, we may loon hope to heat
of the prificipal part of them being brought fate into
mit own ports. We are ball afraid that the news is
too good to prove true ;

:" 2.IIIIZANCI. 11411.4 28.

The inhabitants of this town were in motion
" yefterday evening, in confequence of the agree-
" able intelligence faid to be brOught by a boat be.
longiog to the PLorsit hoop of war, charged with
le .clifpatches for Government, that Lord NE LiON had
le fallen in with the Combined Fleets, and hid taken
" ten fail of the file, four frigates, and one guti brig,
" in which Were eight thoufand French troops. The
" account gained fuch general credit, that it was
" publicly announced at the Theatre, when the per-
" toi mance ceafed for a time, and the houfe rtfound-
• ed with ' GOD lave the King,' and Rule Bri-
This mdft agreeable intelligence, We hope,
e‘ will font hg: conarmed, and that we fhall have the
• plcafure of feeing the reported captures pats this
" port, Englilh colours hoifled over thole of the
" enemy.—P. S. The PLOVER Poop of war, and Ca-
" Roils: E armed brig arc now in the Bay, working
" to wirdward.—Wind blowing flrong at 3:5.E."

The Delaware, FERRE:it, from Amlierdam, is ar-
ri•ied at Hull. The Captain Ilates, that the Dutch
fleet, confining of nine fail of the line, moll of them
equ:pped and provitioned, were lying at tingle
anchor in the Teed, quit► ready to fail on an eipedi-
tion, at the (Ilona notice.

By a Gentleman who left Paris a fortnight fence,
we learn, that the general belief of that chi, refped-
ing ti:e deflination of the French flat, is; that they
are bound fcr the Eaft Indies ; and that in the Inte-
rim a feint will be made againtt Ireland by another
rquadron. The fame Gent!eitian left Rotterdam on
Monday lan. It was then very currently reported
and believed there, that the Toulon and Cadiz fleets
bad fallen in with Lord Nst.som, and gained a deci-
five viaory.

There was no poffibiliti dills failing From France,
though he had a pals as an American. He was
obliged to go through Flanders to Holland, to em.
bark there.

He was prefent at the coronation of BONATAItiII.
Excepting the appearance of the troops, which was
very fplendid, every thing was very iaudry, and on-
ly fit to excite furprize in children.

It is now very generally believed that the (hips
which failed from Rochefoit on the ill of May, are
clamed for the \Veft Indies. They confift of two
of eighty guns, a large frigate, and a corvette, and
have on board 120 C troops.

hate received Parii Journals to the 26th, and
Dutch to the 29th infant.
The PrA'.7:l?. of the 25th, Rates the arrival at Brett
from Perient, and other ports, of a great number of
tir:ls !Aden witL provifluns for the fleet ; and remarks
upon this en curnttance•••-•" Thus it is that our ports
bluetaded !"

A
toter from Leghorn, of the 4th of May, flees
the arrival of a Hamburg!) velfel at that port, the
=after of which declared, "that on the )sth ult. he
fell in with the combined French and Spanifh fleets,
confilling of 24 Ihips of the line, to frigates, and 8
corvettes, (leering in a weltern direCtion, with an ex-
crilEnt wind." This is the only information contained
in the French papers refpeaing the fleets ; but a let-
ter from Madrid of the 7th init. bulls much of the
port of Cadiz being perfealy free and open, ever fence
the combined fleets obliged the Engla fquadron to
raife the blockade of that harbour.

Great preparations are making at Boulogne for
the reception of BOIYAPAR rE, who was to repair thi-
ther after his coronation as King of Italy. I.'hece-
-,:mony took place on the 23d, on which occafion
great rejoicings took place at Paris and other ylaces;
and all the public buildings, and a great number of
private houfes were illuminated.

The if:initeur, remarking upon a paragraph in the
London papers relative to the orders given Come time
fince fur the Weft India fleet to delay its failing from
Cork, fays : —lf the Englilh Minifter knows of the
arrival of a fquadron in the Weft Indies, he imme-
direly leaves Ireland unprovided. If he learns that
arraber fquadron has failed from the ports of France,
he immediately gives counter orders that Ireland (hall
not Le left unprotefted. Thus it is that thole impro•
ident men fgort with the clanks of their country.

I tf they ate invited to make peace, they treat the pro-
pofal with filence. To gratify the miferable ambition
of a Cabinet, they go to war,having nothing to hope
and every thing to fear. The day, however, will
come, when their ccndutl will be judged, and tIA.
iudgment will not fail to be fevere.

The Prutian Order of the Eagle has been confer-
red on the Arch• Chancellor of France. It is confirmed
that an attempt has lately been made to affaffinate
the DEY of ALGIERS.---JEROME BONAPARTE has ar-
rived at Genoa.

Yellerday, in the Houfc of Commons, Mr. WHIT-
BREAD gave notice, that with the permiilion of the
Houfe, he fh•lnld defer his motion for the Impeach-
ment of Lord MrLVILLE, until Tuefday fe'nnight,
being the firlt convenient day after the holidays.
A converfation enfued, refpeeting the time for
moving the Refolutions againtt the CHANCELLOR
of the ESCHEQOER ; during which, Mr. H. Las-
CELLES laid, that he himfelf would move to take
them into confidcration after the recels, upon an
earlier dry, if no other Member of the Committee
would. Mr. WHITBREAD put it to the prudence of
the Hon. Gentleman, and to the candour of the
Houle, whether fuch a proceeding were either cuf-
tornary or decorous? He had given his notice, and
he trulted that the Houle would permit him to choofe
the mode and order which he deemed molt expedient
for the public good.
After a few words from Mr. H. La se t LLES and Mr.
Fox, the converfation ended.

The mode of receiving a Peer is, that he is at-
tended from the door of Houle by the Setjeant
at Arms, with the Mace, making three obeilances to
the Houk ; that a chair is let for him within the
Bar, on the left hand, as he enters, in which he fits
down covered, the Speaker informing him that there
is a chair for his Lnrdthip to repofe himfelf in. When
he rifes to (peak in his defence, he fpeaks uncovered.
He may be admitted into the Houle as loon as the
Member who is to move. the impeachment tires.
When that Member has • finifhed his fpeech, the
Peer gets up, and after he has finifhed, he withdraws
making the fame obeifanccs to the Houle; the Ser-
jcant with the Mace accompanying him to the door.
The IA Peer admittrd in the Body of the Hnufe, was
Lord BALCARRAS, on the 27th of May, 1779, who
was examined relat;ve to Sir WM. Hnwa's conclud
in America, and had a chair fet for him within the
Bar.
