In the preceding columns our Readers will find

Government has received information, that the
prefent intention of the enemy is to make their prin-
cipal attack upon Ireland, where Boaarairrs means
to attempt landing so,ooo men. He has been heard
lately to fay, that to accomplith this object, he does
not mind facrificing too,ooo men ; that he expeas
half the boats containing that number will be de.
firoyed by the fea without an enemy meeting them ;
that he depends on an call wind driving our (hips of
the French coati ; and that with the (hips fitted nut
at Breit he will hazard a battle with our Channel
fleet, to give a better chance to the tranfports and
gun •eflels to reach Ireland. Tltefe accounts (late
alio, that the enemy are every day curdling their
troops with the boats ; that the camp at Boulogne
confitis of z 6,000 men, and is increafing in number
daily ; and that at Dieppe they have 26 boats com-
I pletely ready for fca.
It appear;(, however, that fome of the oldeft French
Officers entertain a very different opinion from the
Cittar CoNsJz, re(pe.lting the probable iffile of the
invahon. Rear• Admiral Mess,sssr, who lately
wrote a letter, in which he condemned the plan of
attempting an invafion of England, bar chained leave

Government, we underhand, have determined not
to receive the furrenderof any of part of St. Domingo
front the French planters and merchants, nor to oc•
cupy with our troops a fingle fortiefs in that Mind,

las a certain event.

pretested to his Royal Highnefs at his Villa of Cagle-
hill Lodge, in the name of the principal inhabitants
of Gibraltar, a molt elegant diamond Garter of St.
George. and a Medallion of St. Patrick, for the pur-
chafe of which, as a token of attachment to his Royal
Highnefs's Perfoo, and deep regret at his temporary
departure from the Garrifon, one thoufand guineas

Highnefs received theft tributes of gratitude and al-
kalosis from the inhabitants of his Government, with

When fpeaking of the Volunteers of this metro-
polis, it is proper we mould notice how much they
are indebted to the noblemen and gentlemen, who
have accommodated them with convenient places for
their refpedive corps. Among thole who have Rood'
forward on this occafion, none Rands more confpi.
coons than Sir Wittier Powrimair, who has not
only laid wane the whole of his garden for the ac-
commodation of the Loyal Britons, commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel Davisos, but with an interett,
alma unprecedented in the fuccefs of a Volunteer
corps, has kindly offered the whole or any part of
Bath houfe, Pkadilly, thould it be neceffary for the
convenience of the fame.
A very numerous and refpe&abk meeting of the
merchants, Ihip-owners, and others, interelted in the
trade of Neweaftle, being held at the Guildhall on
Saturday hill, for the purpofe of applying to Go-
vernment for Come additional fecurity for the port,
the Maroa was requefted by the meeting to apply
fur one or more armed dips being Rationed there
for the above purpore. The Admiralty have re-
turned for anfwer, that the immenfe demands upon
the naval force of the country render it impoffible to
Ration dips of war for the proteition of every indi•
vidual port, but that it is their objea to apply it
generally and colleitively for the protation of the
whole ; and that, from the Inca) circumflances of
that port, a naval force within the bar does not appear
to their Lordlhips to be applicable to its defence.

bottles and the range lately erected. The lots is va-
rioufly reported—Some rate is at so, others at Ao
lacs of pagodas. It is raid that 600,000 bags of rice
were dearoyed. The natives, it is believed, will be
the principal )offerers. In the evening of the Jay on
which it broke out. the Sr. was wholly dißinguilbed.
