Twenty men are alternately taken from each com-
pany of the regiments encamped at Boulogne. and
embarked on board the flat bottomed boats, for the
purpofe of learning to row and work the guns, a
duty which they acquit themfelves of with great (pi-
nt and precifion.

The following has been given out in general or-
ders at Havre, dated November 7......

Nov. to.—Jeanne Andette, a Negrefs, died on the
lath of Ana at the Hofpital of Incurables. The
National Convention, year a, allowed her a pention
of 365 livres, in conflagration of her great age. She
was then Paid to be ala years old. If that were true,
the has died in her :24.th year.

Nov. t I.—Accounts have been received from St.
Domingo. dated the Jodi of July. The Colonial
Prefelt. Msoarrov, had arrived there on the agth.
The Brigands had been driven from the Plain of the
Cape and Moines Pale and Lecurienz. In their re
treat they had to pats through all the ambufcades of
the Congo Negroes, who killed a great number of
them. General ROCMAMIIAU writes, that be will
anfwer for the prefervation of the Colony.
Two thoufand artificers dell defcriptions have ar
rived at Boulogne from Flu&ins, to be employed in
the ferries of the navy.
We learn by letters from St. Stab of the 6th ilia.

that the Milner of Marine arrived there the preced-
ing night in ,t 5 hours from Paris. An order was
immediately given for the failing of that part of t!te
flotilla which was Rationed there. Citizen Dscass,
after two hours ileep, went to vifit the workihops of
the national navy. All the workmen attended, al-
though it was Sunday, and confequently a holiday.
, The wind had changed from call, at which it has
been for Come time, to fouth &tit. EMS the very
elements operate in our favour.
The M.wtvr, and feveral of the Paris Journals
contain a long feries of refleEtions on the projefteck
defcent upon England, copied from the Aciatrva, a
Crtllllllll Journal, by M. AICHENHOLTE. Hecb.
ferret. the En lint gill appear unterrified, and to
depend upon their fleets for repulfing the enemy.--
The opinion of Lord ST. VINCENT as then quoted
as giving confidence to the whole nation. This Ad-
miral once obferved, " That he did not know how
the French were to arrive in England, but he was
well allured it would never be by fin." No perfon,,
the writer obferves, can doubt of the fer ions intention
of the FIRST CONSUL to make the defcent, efpeciallr
as lance he has taken pofTefliun of Hanover, he has
no other means of continuing the war. The French
remaining paflive after a war of fo many years as the
Lift, he obferves, would be fubmitting to any contE-
tions that England might chufe to ditlate ; and, he
adds, it is only a fuccefsfal defcent in England, and
not in Ireland, that can 'bring the war to a fpeedy
conclufion. RefpeEting the maritime power of
France, it is obferved, that shough England unde-
niably poffeffes a great number of goad fea officers,
France has alto a few of them : to prove this 137.
quotes Vice-Admiratl
,La TpucHe, whom he repre-
fents.as having glortoufly repulfe Lord NELSON at
Boulogne about three yearafince. He then defcants
upon the circumftances of calms., fogs, long nights,
favourable winds, and other advantages the French
poffefs in the Channel. Beficles he obferves, it is cal-
culated that twenty gun boats are more than a match
for an Englifh fhip of 89. or, too guns, if properly
managed, that is, if the gun boats approach fuels
veffels with towage and addrefs, in order to evade
their guns, which, being (bort, do not carry fo far as
It-pounders, field pieces. In fine, the pafrage of
the Channel being but Ihort, if the French once gain
a footing upon the inand, he contends that any mea-
flirts of defence will' be of little importance, and h:
undertakes to prove his politioris from ;he va,ricty of
interefts and parties in England.
Faom THE Mont rave or Nov. B.—Some people
hwire attempted to compare the levy en matte of the in-
habitants of London and of come other counties with
the levy en ssaji cif the French people in 1789. The
men whom the alarm and apprehenfions of the Bri-
tills Government drive every day from their territory,
and all impartial travellers who have given their opi-
nion, dilcover no refemblance but in terms only.
That which in I 790 over-ran our populous depart-
ments met every where I not force bodies and profef-
fions of men only rallied round the banners of their
country, but whole cities railed at the fignal of the
country's being in danger, and making the air re•
found-with their patriotic fc-ags and hymns in cele-
bration of liberty. The man whom his zeal, and
foinetimei his modeny placed in the ranks, where
age, talent, and merit mingled promircuoufly, knew
well that it was not to defend the military trappings
of his Captain • that he abandoned his wife and chat.
drcn, that he expired his life and flied his blood.—
Another motive, perhaps, gill more forcible, called
them to arms.—The neceffity of emerging from that
infignificance into which a degenerate race had plung-
ed all France, and of difputing with infolent and he •
reditary privileged orders, that weight and impor-
tapee which flight to belong to merit only. This
is the grand principle which railed by one movement
the great nation a this is what recruited for a long
time an army, which at firn confining of above a
million- of men, was uniformly and eafily preferred
in a nate able to meet the dangers and neceffities of
the country.
To infpire the foldiers with the ardour of liberty,
it was not neceffary to have recourfe to abfurd and
foolifk caricatures of the enemies of their country. It.
was fufficient to tell them, that the revolution which
made them free men was threatened by an impious
coalition. There was no necegity for roofing their
compaffion in favour of an order of things which
guaranteed to the majority only their ignominy and
their wretchednefs. Betides, France alto was the
land of Cadmus, rough with pikes, and covered with
men armed m its defence. The anxiety which they
difcovered in England to ridicule our levy en mei,
ferved only to prove the poverty and fmallnefs of the
means in their power. A vain glorious gafconade
of the Englith Government has refilled to accept any
more volunteers who offer themfelves, it feems, in

crowds ; but to form a proper eftimate of this roes.
fore it is necerfary to know the motives that lead to it.
The truth is. that the government, much more
frightened than flattered by the eagernefs of thole
who demanded arms, have no other means of check.

ing their zeal, of which they entertain even more
than fufpicion. Betides, by becoming a volunteer
was one means of avoiding enrolment for the militia
—and it is certain that many of the volunteers at
this moment have no other motive. All this heroifm

bas had a tendency to prevent thecompletion of the
regular army, which is fill deficient by more than
ten thoufand men, notwithtlanding the seal with
which the Englilh recruiting parties forward to their
employers the fcum and dregs of Holilein and Upper
Saxony, in order to proteel the glory and intereftb of
John Bull and his country.
