Yeflerday difpatches were received at the Admi-
ralty from Admiral Lord NESLON, off Toulon. The
enemy cannot be provoked to come out.
From nor Gibraltar letter it will be lien that the
Spaniards thew great partiality to the French cruizers,
and afford them every aid in capturing and condemn•
ing our vac's. To uk the language of our corref-
pondent, by the prefent neutrality of Spain we fuf-
fer all the difativantages of war without enjoying
any of the benefits of peace."
In our paper of Thurfday we mentioned that the
NIMROD cutter had brought intelligence from the
auk of Spain, of Jimmie BOMa►ART! having reached
that country, in an American veffel. We are happy
in being able to (late, that we have ftrongreafons for
believing that the NIMROD has been partly mifin-
formed. Intelligence has been received by Govern-
ment from Baltimore, Rating that Pewit Bona-
'save had engaged a paffage in the American chip
Prefident, but that in reality be bad pnrchafed a
Virginia pilot boat, to convey him to France at the
fame time, and that be is now on his paffage in the

Aid pilot boat. _
• An facer jail come from off Boulogne, fay., that
there appeared to be about so,ooo troops collated
in that neighbourhood. And that General Messina
was ',dually there to embark with them. No doubt
ala be entertained that the haulers of invafion is now
drawing towards a crifis, but we trnft that the enemy
when they make their attempt, will meet with a re-
ception they little expelt, and which will caufe them
to repent of their rash and prefumptuous undertak.
fog, Letters from the fame quarter Rate that there
on between 8o and go gun boats iii that port, and
that two large encampments cover the bills on each
ids tithe town.
Is the Gorier Js Leans of la night it is hated,
that among aural of the French demi-brigades a
plan of the mode to be purfued in the pillage of Lon.
dab and the diftribution of the fpoil of its wealthy
Ishabitants, has been circulated. The foldiers to
whom this nonfenfe is addreffed, are too much flat-
tered with the profped which it opens, to entertain

the limallelt doubt of the fuceefs of the expedition
•Is'4 this country. They do not imagine that the

Government would hold out fuch alluring promifes
If it Were not peeled of the means of realizing them,
and that fuch extenfive preparations would not be
made if it were not in (trims contemplation to em-
ploy them. It is not believed that Bonaparte will
'elite the command of the fire body of the invading
*nut He will place himfelf in the centre of the
troops, and prepare, if there be any necelfity, to put
lhimfelf at the head of the Army of Referee. If a
reverfe of fortune is experienced, and if this reverie
of fortune is accompanied by coneullions in the inte-
rior, he will probably find it necelary to recur to
there meafures of cruelty and barbarity which his
charaller diftates, and from which policy has hither-
to reArained him. He may then relinquifh the flower
skid of deportation to fabftitute in its room the more
rapid expedient of the guillotine or the musket. We
know well enough that this would be the laft period
of his power, the laft refource of his tyranny. How
loon it may arrive cannot yet be afcertained.
The attacks which we have made on the French
harbours, have ferved at leaf to convince ns that the
Prench Governmenthas been put to an expence
full 7 as great, if not greater than our own. Where-
ever our cruisers have attempted a bombardment,
they have Peen batteries prepared. Our Correfpon-
deist fiatedtous.that he could fee tor bombs in the air
at one and the fame time. Thofe whq know how
flowly bombs are fired. mull be (edified that they
could not have fewer Rationed on the point, from
which this tremendous fire was kept up, than fifty ;
and if every afrailable point of its extenfive coati be
thus guarded, we may firm fonte eflimate of the
probable expence. Perhap. it %soil be (aid that this
affords very little confolation to irs. that the enemy is
more ditiretred than oorfelves. Bat viewing it with
a military eye it is effential, bee:lee having the fa.
pet.° ity at lea, we can impofe upon the French Go-

viornment this enormous exp:nce, and th.rreby ac
tolerate the return of peace. We can choofe our
place of a ta-i; ; the eagle hovering ()ter the
can pounce upon our prey wherever we fee

it espoted; and thus with to or 20,c00 difoofAble
men oblige the Citisr Consus to dilperre his %hole
