quantity of cannon, or bombs, and of bullets-
which the enemy had thrown hastily into it, pre.

may bo easily raised, and the Cannon, bullets, and
bombs extracted, and every other incumbrance

of the useful articles so obtained will pay the ex.

Hans% beiag to be united to the kingdom of
Westphalia. Several changes were also expected
at Augsburgh, and the Bavarian Minister of State,
Baron Moinglas, it was supposed, would soon fol.
low his Sovereign to Paris.
It is reported also from the Maine, that several
Chiefs of the insurgent Tyrolese, who had not
availed themselves of the existing amnesty, and

treasure, and of reputation, the very impurtant
result of depriving the Fronch of the use of the
harbour and arsenal of Flushing, fur perhaps
twelve months, from the time of our taking pu,,
session of the island. It is to be regretted, that
this Report did not arrive before the Meeting or
Parliament, at it would have formed su happy au
illustration of that part of the Speech.
