On Sunday Mr. PITT arrived in town, raid to he
fent for ewers, on bufinefs of importance, relative
to the defence of the Cinque Ports.
Yellerday morning Capt. JINN Suastax CARDTN,
arrived at the Admiralty, with difpatches from Vice
Admiral c.atetaa, on the Eafl India nation, dated
Bombay harbour, March 7, 1803.—Ail was well there.
In the preceding columns we have given farther
extracts from the Hamburgh Mails. and alto from
the Paris journals to the 23d ult.
The latter, from the 16th to the 33d, arrived at lb
late en hour yellerday, that we could do little more
than notice them.

We find in the Official journal letters from Gran.
vile, Dieppe, and Fecamp, giving an account of the
bombardment of thole places. It is fail that very
little effee was produced by the French batteries, ;04
little by the Englifh fhips. But it appears that the
inhabitants, sts is natural, look with apprehrntion to
future vifitations of the fame kind.
We find little on the fubje6 n the preparations for
the invafion of this country that can be cenfidered
new. The letters from Flanders repeat the fame ac.
counts of the match of tionpri the arrival of Gene.
gals, which mirk the pretence of a large army, and
indicate the approach of military enterpriaci. Lt
letters from Bruffels it ii Rated, chat St. Omer's it
the grand head quarters of the invaders& army, and
not Ghent. Corps will b: detached to other places
as cireamlances require, and as the plan of ember.
kation will point out. Accounts from the Hague of
the sdi fay, that at ?lathing official intelligence bat
been received &dui Paris that the FIRST COIOI7L will
fpeedily be there. The batch Government, by corn.
mend train Paris no doubt, have fixed upon* the
principal Rations for the gun boats, fiat.bottomta
boats, &c. now building in Holland. The firth
diviliOn, comprehending the armaments in the Ems
and the Znyde! Zee, are to *tremble in the Texel.
The fecond divifion, comprehending thofe in the
Waal, the Lech and the Mettle, are to afemble at
Helvoettlitys. The third divifion, comprehending
thofe in the Scheldt and neighbouring rivers 'and ca-
nals, are to ;tremble at Fluffing. Each of them is
to be commanded by a Vice Admiral, and the wholi;
according to report, are to be under the direaion of
Admiral Ds Wiersa. In faa, it appears to be the
means of conveyance, and not of troops, that will
now be the obflacle. The whole will form at thb
camp at St. Omer's and the neighbourhood 4sook;
inen.—Lodgings are already prepared for the First
Cosset and the Moiler at War. In the mean time
telegraphs are to be confirufted between Paris and
all the principal ports for the benefit of 'tittitker
refpondence. • •

The Paris journals elle Rate, that at the fame time
that the attempt of Invafion is made from the coatis
Of Holland and Flanders, it will be tried tlfo from the
ports of Britinny and Norinandy. There are many
troops at Breit, and we look with particular anxiety
to that quarter, as Ireland in all kobibility is the
nbieft, and we deem it more probable that a fleet of
Chips fhould reach the objea of their'dellinition, than
that the gen-boats flionld be able to waft any for-
midable body of Invaders to the Englifh tbai:
The building of gunboats on the Seine at Paris is
Rated to be going on with great aaivity. Severil
have been launched, or are juft ready to be threns
off the flocks. But in the conllrttaion of larger vef-
leis the fame aaivity is difplayed. It is raid that two
Chips of the line, one of no guns. another of 74.
have been launched at Rochford in the conrfe of the
laR year, and another of the line will be launched in
a month, bade' feveral fligates now in great for-
waninefs.

The French military preparations in Italy are at-
tributed, in letters from thence of the Bth of Septem-
ber, to a defign of felting upon the Mores, by way of
eompenfation for Malta. Perhaps fuck a fcheme is
in agitation. Unlefs force views be QM entertained
either againd the Turkilli Empire, Greece, or Egypt.
it is not eafy to explain the objed of naval equip•
masts and the forming of an army of embarkation.
The Monittar contains a long account of the difurb•
ances in Egypt,from which it isevident how much the
fate of that country interells the Fiarr Cowin& ; and
perhaps it may be conjedured that its fate is nor a
little influenced by his intrigues. Indeed the Mate
of Egypt is loch that the Porte has no authority
there, and is not likely (non to recover it. The re-
bellions troops and the dill:H.46W Berl uniting
form a force which the Potts has little detect acute.

there cannot be a doubt, is owing to the machinations
of the French acing upon the perpetual.pre-difpofi-
tion to mutiny in the Turkilh armies and provinces,
many of the Members of the Turkifh Government
bare openly declared at Contlantinople, that the re-
treat .of the Englilb from Alexandria has been ex-
tremely unfortunate for the GLAND
They would lie very glad again to fee an Englith gar-
rifon there, but fuch an event would be confidered by
France as a declaration of war, though, in farl,. if
France had an opportunity of feizing Egypt, the cc-
✓niony of a declaration of war would not be regard.
• France rather wants the means than the incli-
nation to take pot& Mon of Egypt ; or, perhaps of 1
the Morea. The concittel of the latter, however,
might embroil the VI ass. Cow sot with Ruffia, which
has long had prior claims to that country. We Mould
not be greatly far pri fed, however, if, while our troopi
are kept at home by the menages of invafinn, the
