He is empowered even to tranfport for fix months,
all whofe prefence he may deem dangerous. It con-
cludes with the following paragraph :
" The Ligurian ports continue to remain free from
the blockade oedered by the Bridal government.—
,But the fear of its being loon carried into execution,
and the fuccelGve appearance of Tome Englifh frigates
off our coafl, has damped the aeivity of our naviga-
tion, and thrown our commerce into a (fate of lan-
guor. The frigates which occationally make their
appearance in fight of our coatis, belong to the fqua-
dron with which Lord Na Lass is hill watching and
blockading the Toulon fleet. Another Englilli (qua-
droll is at anchor off Sicily, and keeps a Dap of the
line contionually flationed 'at the entrance of the port
of Naples, Which is relieved every fortnight. The
latter fquadron frequently difpatches light vetch to
the Adriatic and the Levant for the purpnfe of re-
connoitering."

fore, provided means to defray the expenee of thefe
auxiliaries, and the law on that fubjee has been pro-
claimed. It orders the immediate railing of 5,500,000
of Milanefe lines, by a land tax, payable at a very
(hart period, and place the Paid fum at the difpofal

frigates and twelve gun boats, ss well as for the
equipment of troops. The greater part of the Italian
troops intended for France, are already on their

obferved. " At the clofe of the late war, thefe colours
were entrufted to my care by the late Regiment of

are now again unfurled, as banners, under which we
may probably loon fight in a cattle dearelt to every
Englithman—the Defence of our country 1--they are
now placed under your proteftioa, and I confidently
troll, nosier Dtvtrs PROVIDINCI, that our determined
