Lail night we received Paris journals to the 23d
ult. Their contents, however, have been in a great
meafure anticipated by intelligence received through
other channels, and which has already been laid be-
fore our Readers.

In the Journal de Paris, of zoth Nov. one para.
graph appears fimilar in complexion to accounts be.
fore received from Hamburgh.
" We are allured it may be potEble, that yielding
to the felicitations of feveral friendly Courts, France
will loon determine to evacuate Hanover."

On the fame fubjeet, the Manirear of the following
day, ix a note on an article from an Englifb Paper,
rays, " Hanover will be evacuated when you eva-
cuate Malta."

Government, we underftand. received yellerday
Conte very importune information from a Gentleman
who arrived in town the preceding day from Hob
land, and who formerly held a very high military
fituation in his Mai ssry's fervice. He has refided
many years abroad, and returned to his native coun-
try for the honourable purpofe of communicating to
Minifiers as much of the nature of the enemy's pro-
jeEts as he has been able to at-certain. He has brought
with him a large packet of papers, among which are
corral plans and charts of our coati, and drafts of
feveral of the feats of our rich Nobility and Gentry,
which have lately been tlifiributed among the officers,
of the army deflined to invade our !holes. There
drafts were delivered by the Minitter of War, by or-'
der of Bowa►asrs, who, in a circular letter, written
by himfelf, allures the feveral officers, that the landed
property of England fball be the reward of their ler-
vices ; and that, in the general pillage, as equal a
difltibution as poflible flt,til be made among the pri•
vates. He alfo Rates, from his own knowledge, that
one hundred thnnfind men are ready to embark at
a moment's notice, and that before he left Holland a
kind of Manifefto had been iffued, wherein it is laid
that the time has at length arrived when the Britifh
Go% ernment is to receive the punilhment due to its
offences.

To the above we have to add that the Captain of
Pruflian velfel, who left Rotterdam lan Tuefday,
affirms, that kill previonfly to his departure there was
a general fcivure of all Dutch veffcls, and that the
invading Army was actually on board, and expeded
to fail every tide. The frofl had not then (Tuefday
tall) fct in at Holland. The general and avowed
opinion was, that an immediate attempt was about
to be made on England. The Captain had fevere
weatl ••• in his paffage ; and his betief is, that the
flotilla of Rotterdam, which be furveyed with a lea-
man's eye, was of a delcription that could not pof.
fitly weather fuch a fez as he experienced. The
crtf!, he lo are in general fhyht, and, letting afide
the perils of the Ocean, filch a, I.e thinks could not
Sided the effeet of ;heir own Ere, eac:i carrying a 24
r:u,nder.

The CT:Ain who 10.ir.ss the 1.211-rncokciA Rate-

runt is a man of known veracity ; but it is poffible
he may have been deceived or mifinformedNand that
the moment for the attack is not fo near as his nate-
ment would induce us to believe. We ought, how-
ever, to be on our guard, and indeed, from the pre-
cautions that have been taken, we need entertain no
apprehenfions refpeding the iffue.
A private letter from Leyden, dared Dec. 1, rays,
1, According to intelligence from all the ports and
other places of this Republic, the greatefi adivity
prevails in the preparations for the expedition again('
England. The body of land forces deilined for that
purpofe has already been cbofen by hit, and the chief
command is to be entrufted to General DuP4ONCEAV,
who is to have under him Major-Generals Cats and
Colonels von HAIM, CARTERET, and von
HASSELT ; Colonel CHASSE, of the Chaffeurs ; Colo-
nel CaLvasex, of the cavalry ; and Lieutenant-Co-
lonel 'rem CATE, of the artillery."
PARIS, Nov. 23.—The FIRST CON su E. has not re-
turned to St. Cloud. It appears that he wiU refide
at the Thuilleries all the winter.

M. D. Eturaatouls, who was Counfellor of the
Ruffian Legation at Drefden, it is Paid, has been or
dered to quit that Court.
It feems that the complaint brought againft the
Englifh Government refpeeting the fuppofed treat-
ment of General Boyßa, was founded upon the report
of a French prifoner lately arrived frum England.
The Ex-Commandants of Malta have penfions or-
dered them by the Italian Republic.
It appears that the Italian troops ordered to march
to France, to take part in the expedition, were not
to begin their march from Milan till the 17th ult.—
They confill of 7000 men, and to march in (even
columns.

The Senate of Hamburgh has ordered the demoli-
tion of all its fortifications, that city by the treaty of
Ratilbon being declared neuter in all future wars.
We hear that large quantities of mulkets have been
contraded almolt at the price of gold by Colonel
PNILITGER, who is traverfing all Germany to obtain
them ; but at Berlin we apprehend, as the arms
bought there are known to be for England, the re-
moval of them is much doubted.

A long article appears in the Alfossil:us of the 2 tfl,
written by a French traveller, who left Eaglaid on
the 6th ult. giving an acconnt of the (late of the mi-
litary preparations, of the confidence of the people
in the Government, and the national credit. It con-
cludes, that, if France and its allies were only to de-
termine againft the confumption of any thing of Bri-
ti(h growth or manufafture, Great Britain would be
infallibly ruined in fix months.

A letter received at Hull laft week, flues, that the
Englith veffels lying in the river Trave, had put to
fea with the utmoft Italie, for fear of being fcized by
the French. General BIRTH in was at Lubeck en.
deavouring to obtain a loan. The condua of the
French troops in Hanover was fu oppreffive, that
they were execrated by all ranks of people.
A letter from Dnblin (fates that Dwyer, tbe Wick-
low robber, and his gang, have furrendered to Go-
vernment.

Accounts from Cork, of the 6th. mention, that the
fleet of Eat! India fhips, which had put into Cove,
failed that morning with a fair wind at north well,
tinder convoy of the Euvrat.vs, Captain !hack.
WOOD. They were, on their arrival, 'hurt of provi.
lions and water, which delayed them fo long ;here.
One of the Batavian prizes was to crazy that it will
be neceffary to difcharge her cargo of tagar, coffee,
and faltpeter. valued at So,oool. at Cork.
The Waterford Mail was robbed on Sunday the
4th, on the way to Clonmell. An Englifh
with Admiralty difpatches, was contained in it.
The account of Sir ROBERT CALDER'S Fleet hay
ing arrived off Cork, is premature.
Letters have this week been received from Admiral
Lord KEITH, by the Wardens of the Trinity Honfe.
Hull, requefling information as to the number of
(hips of war which could find anchorage in the Hum-
ber. From this circumflance it appears probable
that that port is likely to he fixed upon for a naval
Ration. It is the opinion of experienced feamen,
that z 5 fail of the line might ride in fafety in the
Havci, and 40 or 5o more between Grirhfby and
Whitebooth Roads, if neceffary. The centrical ruin-
ation of that port, with regard to the extenfive coall
oppofite, now under the controul of the enemy, ren.
ders it very fuituble for fuck a Ration, and the faci-
lity with which veffels may enter or leave the river,'
at any Rate of the tides, adds confiderably to its
other advantages.
Cap:. MANS L, of his Majefly's (hip BECHIRM IR,
has received a blow from the fall of a block from the

liquences are likely to refult from the accident.
The Grizell, Captain l'oayea, from Ayre, bound

ted) arc drowned.
There was an error in our paper of laft week, in
which it was Rated that the Commiffioners in a
Commiftion of Bankruptcy againfl Mars. DORSET,
JOHNSON, and Co. will meet on the 351 i of December
to declare a dividend of their elate and effeds. It
is only intended to declare a dividend on that day of
the feparate dive of Groitcs Doassx and the lips-
rate ethic of Janes Ti e sox.
GAM s.—A few days ago, as a failor was travelling
on the great road near Brotherton, a hare made an
attempt to croft the road, but was fo confounded by
two carriages at the fame time paffing, that (he ran
fo near the failor as enabled him to knock her down',
which having done, he put it in his handkerchief,
and travelled on ; and loon after met with an Hon.
Baronet, particularly tenacious in the pr efcrv.it•on of
his game, who immediately called out to the

ceiving no aufwer, the fame queftion was twee C•
