Government we under Rand have received foch hi.
formation as makes them apprehend that pally the
enemy may make the long threatened attempt to in-
vade this country within fourteen days from this
time. We pledge ourfelves for the truth of this Bate-
ment. We need hardly add, however, that though
the information received warrants a belief that the
attempt may pdfibly be made within or about the
period above mentioned, yet fomething may occur to
induce Bows►ASTi to poflpone the enterprise to a
more dittant time. We are happy to add, that should
the invafion be attempted, we have little to apprehend
for the iffue.—Our means for defence are fo com-
pletely ready, that should any of the enemy efeape
our tars, our land force will loon give a good ac-
count of them.

We are happy to announce the fafe arrival of the
Leeward lUrnd merchant fleet, under convoy of the
B is man of war.

We have received fome more of the minor French

Journals, which, though they do not come down later
than thofe announced yetlerday, hi:mills a few ex-
trafts worthy of peruf4l. Dutch papers bass alfo

been received.

In the latter it is Bated, and the fart is probably
corral, that the new Title of Emperor of Auflria has
already been recognized by the Court rf Berlin. Ac-
cording to the fame papers, the Imperial mania is
not confined to Bo AAAAA TA and France—The King
of Spain is alfo to airtime the title of Emperor! !
The Emperor of the French, it i. alfo furmifed,
means to same the title of King of Lombardy.
An article from Frankfort Bates, that the French
troops in Italy are rapidly defiling towards the fca
coal. The ofienfible motives for thole movements,
are to firengthen and protel the coaft againft proba-
ble hollile operations ; but who the enemy is, from
whom fuch iudden incurfion is to be apprehended,
the foreign intelligence Supplies us with no means of
difcovering.
It is alio Bated, under the fame head, that the
intercourse of Couriers between Paris and Naples
has become very frequent, and that 'lie French Go-
vernment does not appear perfeetly Satisfied with
the conduit and difpofition of his SICILIA* MA..
ism In the event of a war with Raffia, one of the
firli operations of the French armies in Italy would
be to occupy all the firm% places in the Neaprlitan
States, and we Should not be furFrifed to bear, by
the firft advice' from that country, that fo theifive a
meafure fhould already hare been adopted, upon the
awn liability of a minute with the Northow Pawns.

our palTage from St. Thomas's to this Mend, we fell
in with a large French privateer, full of men, off Cape
Rofc.o, in the utland of Porto Rico, which captured
u, after a fevere anion of keen hours, in which we
had one man killed, and four wounded ; but I have
the fatisfation to fay, that with our (mall crew of
21 men, we defended the wail with obßinacy, until
our maims, which were our chief defence, became
ofelets from continual firing; we then beioir over-
powered by numbers, rehreantly were obliged to haul
down our colours and furrender. On our being taken
on board the privateer, we found her loft to be very
confiderable, having 59 men killed on deck, and fix
badly wounded; every exertion that was poilihle was
tiled by Captain Maim a, Mr. Bowser the mate, sod
the majority of the crew. On our arrival at Porto
Rico, the French Cortful treated me with great civi-
lity, and procured a wail co convey me and the cs ew
to this Wand."
