BONAPARTE's PROGRESS—AN iMPtomPTIL

Bonaparte no long appears with a milk on,
To become a true Frenchman, be talks like a &fem.
See the Hero of Lodi the bully deform!
With invetlive and libel, who London would floras.
Pufevere, envious ape ! in thy mlfchievous fancies;
C. 411 thy Tribunes and Bifhops to feed thy Romances :
Britain [miles, while her Navy gives law to the waves,
While her mores Freemen guard, to [care legions of Sava.
Laughs (caw, her AUGUSTA no Carthage than be.
Nor the fortune of Scipio mutated to thee!

The Lieutenancy of Kent, with Lord Rows ty
and General DUNDAI at their head, had a meeting
on Saturday la& at Canterbury, for the porpofe of
arranging what mould be done in cafe the enemy
Ihould land. The mode of driving the country, of
arming the people, &c. agreeably to the Bill which
lately paled both Haute, of Parliament, and which
is the fame as that in exittence laft war, was there fet-
tled. Lords CANDOR, D , SIMMS, and Sir
EDWARD KRA TC H BUL L. were each affigned particular
&dons.

The three Clergymen in tent, who, in the laft war,
commanded Corps of Infantry, by the exprefs per
million of the Archbifhop of the Diocefe, were the
late Lord Gamic* bloactr, Bifhop of St. David's ;
e Hon. and Rev. Dr. Mammas', brother to the
Lord Lieutenant of that county ; and the Rev. F.. I.
Baynoss. The two 101, we hear, have again offer-
ed their Cervices to Government. _

Letters from Jerky and Guemfey (peak of accounts
received from the neighbouring coat of France,
which Rate, that forces are &ambling there which
appear to have for their °Ned an attack upon one or
other of the above Minds ; they, however, it is ad-
ded, never were in a more perfeit Rate of defence.—
The fame letters make mention of the etcape of a
great number of French Confcripts from St. Maio, in
a large veffel which they had (cited. It is foppoted
they are gone for America. An open boat, full of
men of the above defcription, who had been refuted
permitfion to land on the ifland of Alderney, were
lately taken by an armed veal feast in purfuit of them,
and carried back into Cherbourgh.
The French boa* much of the diteipline atoned
by their armies in the countries they invade. This
boat!, however, is like many other of their boats,
wholly unfounded, and indeed it is contradiEted by
their own teßimony. Nothing could be more infa-
mous than the condo& oldie French troops in Egypt.
Murders, rapes, plunder, devaßation of every fort
marked their footaeps. Of this we sum& the fol-
lowing fpecimen from Denon's Travels in Egypt; a
,work publifbed under the patronage of the Filar
Congos, fo that we may be furs the pidure is not
overcharged

tunate inhabitants who had fled on our approach were
