It is very possible-that the Duke's visit may have
been occasioned by thj sanie circumstance.
It is generally known that the Freitch Government
has lately been embarrassed by want of money to
inert the public demands; and that, in consequence,
some :Agents had been employed to negotiate a loan
in London; and it is .also known that on this subject,
notwithstanding We tempting offer of very high in.

. that the aim of the French was to induce this country
to perform a new act of folly, by furnishing them
with. the peens of paying their 'contribution to the
other Allies, or, failing this, to induce our Govern-
ment to postpone the• denw.u.l of the portion due to
ourselves—or, at all events, to find the necessary sup•

No small degree of inquiry. has keen occasioned
this day by the non.arvival of the Bristol Newspaper
due this morning, and which should have brought
an account of the Meeting. et which Mr. Horn
was again to hold forth. We have sent to dif,
ferent coffee houses and other quarters, on the
chance of meeting with a solitary copy of the
Asper, but we ind all in the sante state.—
The question is, *halter the Paper has been delayed
to an hour too late for the Mail, ih their labours to

:down from the effects of any popular tumult? We
hope the former will prove to be the fact. 1
We are satisfied that at the usual tour at which
the Bristol P4per is put to peen, the Editor could
give no account of the Meeting; said therefore. that
he would probably delay his publication. Up to haft
