London. On his jacrney he fonnl that the French
troops on the Rhine, and in molt parts of the interior
had been ordered to march to the coal, and nothing
wxs fiwiken of but the projected expedition againit
this country. In many of the camps the Mdiers are
in great want of the neceffary accommodations; and,
in that of St. Omer's, in particular, numbers of the
confcripts, and raw troops, have lately perithed.
Defertions are very frequent, and much diffatisfac-
tion prevails among fume of the corps. One of the
regiments, which accompanied BoNAPARTII to Egypt,
and which is deftined to embark in the expedition,
knanifecli the greateft reluctance on the occafion, and
on the whole, BONAPARTE appears to have loft much
of his popnlarity,even among the troops. The number
of Englith captives at Valenciennes is 300, of whom
kya are men. and the remainder, women and chit.

Douala*, the Commandant of the garrifon, had
'Med orders, that no Englilh perfon, of any defcrip•
tion,lhould be permitted to walk beyond the ramparts
of the place. They were however treated with all
needier, civility by the inhabitants ; but the French
Government had made no provifiun whatever for
' the maintenanceof the lower order of captives, who
Were in confequence entirely dependent upon the
bounty of their opulent countrymen, among whom

", Wednefday morning a duel was fought on Spring
Plank, near Hull, between Captain G- and
Lieutenant H , both of the Durham Regiment
of Militia. They met a little after fix o'clock, and
were attended by two other Gentlemen of that
tegi-
tnent as feconds. After the parties had exchanged
two (hots each without effect, the recoil& interfered,

• and the matter was amicably fettled.
Difpatches have been fent to Plymouth, to be for-
ivarded with all poffible expedition to Lord Nst.soa,
t in the Mediterranean. They are to be fent out by
the Hussea, of 38 guns, Captain Wl:Allison. Go-
sfernment has received undoubted intelligence of the
defign of BONAPARTI to attempt the landing of a
• confiderable force in Egypt, and the prefent fituition
of that unfortunate country has evidently had great
weight in aatratiiv, him to the enterprise. He
fears very much the influence of the Matinelnkes,
. which, by the arrival of Et.tl BEY in this country,
• he confiders fubfervient to the views of our Cabinet ;
, and the armament at Toulon will be probably ridged
• in an attempt as fatal to the maritime power of.

the line and Come frigates, to reinforce our fleet in
that quarter.

Ferrol in 28 hours, jail in time to have the mord&
cation of teeing the defences depart in a boat, which
put them on bdard a French thip of war which was then
lying in the harbour. The Lieutenant of the party im-

him, and harfhly refufed to give them up, or to inter-
t ere in the burotefs with the French Captain who re-
ceived them. The Lieutenant retired, not a little chat.
