TOE gXrEDITIO.V.

The following Conjectures (for they can be no
stairs) respecting the intended plan of operations,
has appeared in a Kent newspaper
The *stet of this immense armament, aew that an com-
monalities with the Canines( is prevented, may without her
propriety be mentioned; add although we cannot speak to a
certainty, yet, from the ashore of the preparations, there is
scarce a dotty of its dream/scion. The naval part of the ar-
mament is adcaleted, next to covering the descent of the
troops co the Isknel of Waleheren, for an attach by ma on
Fleshiag, Which, &um the ire of thirty sennfwar, aided by
batterieeMe theiand side, mast fall. Having thus secured a
place 0,016; It *supposed that the troops will be re-em-
barikell4ad %Wed on the Continent, and march by the beaks
of the to Antwerp, while the maserout flotilla of fri-
kakis smobimus,illre-tresseb, &e. will force its way up the
River. The object* this ease a ill be the destruction of the
awiny!s abippiag, of which there are eight sail of the Ilse,
besides suserous smaller vessels, in the dock-yards at that
place; independently of the diversion this may °canto° is
favour of Austria.
" IV hat the ulterior progress of the ammonia may be, will
probably depend on the course of events; but with Peek a
force as at least 50,030 men, a subsequent attack as Boulogne,
by traversing the Netherlands mid metering France on that
side, while the fleet covers the coast, may be in the scale of
probability ; and from the great number of pontoons attached
ti; the drdneace br.utch, it is evident that the scene of action
will be he a country intersected by ditches. There are also
stronger circumstances which justify the above statements :
la tie like/nal Orders issued by the Earl of tohathent, which
are extrevady able and perspicuous, It is: stated, that
the officers of the Coineursariodepartment are to give re-
ceipts of a pecuktr fur to • the Chief Magistrate ter Samos
master of the different towns, &c. from whence they may
have occasion to make requisitions, bat that no requisition;
are to be made but such as are required for the public service,
as the troops will be ordered to pay with money for any pro-
vkions they may want, which shall not be supplied by the
Commissariat ; and should any Officer make any requisition
from the inhabitants, and give a receipt on the Commissary,
such receipt is to be duly discharged, and the (Nicer gkisg
the same w ill be required to make it good, besides be
made -abject to censure for disobedience of orders. •
" Five taws of specie, consisting of Si of silver, and Ijj of
gold, were escorted to Ramsgate by a party of the Life
Guards, on Sunday list, in order to be shipped there to
ae-
company toe expedition.
' " The naval part of this expedition is enormous. It eon-
' silts of 3lis sit of the line, and 93 sail of frigates, amps, gas-
brigs, Had bomb and fre-vesels, besides upwards-It 900 mil

KATIONS OP TROOPS IN HIS MAJESTY'S SHIPS OR
TaANSPORTS) PRINCIPALLY APPLIChALE TO
TEA NSPONTS.

As the army is classed in brigades, the ships on
board of which it is to be embarked should be
classed in divisions equal to the accommodation of
the brigades ; hut no precise rule can be laid for
this arrangement, as the regiments vary consider.
ably in their strength, and ships of the same class,
in some degree, in their capacity of stoning ; but
this should be corrected by the addition of a fri.
gate or stoop, as the embarkation of men of dif.
ferent regiments on board the same ship ought 0,1
be avoided as much as possible.
Whenever it is of consequence that the brigades
should be landed.in perfect order, and in cons..
plete equipment for immediate action, the brigades
of field artillery should be embarked with the
brigades of the army : but it will not be necessary
to carry any tumbrils or ammunition waggons in
the men of war, as cich gun (one of which only
will been board each ship) carries forty rounds.
By taking the lower deck guns out of the men
of war, and making other suitable arrangements,
a greater proportion of troops can be embarked ;
and as it may be advisable, when the service does
not extend beyond the coast of Spain and Porte.

The greatest are must be taken of the arms,
ammunitioe, and appointments of the troops, that
they may always be in perfect order fur action.
The signals and arrangements arc principally
made for the conduct and regulation of the trans.
ports, bet they are to be considered in all cases as
applying to the men of war also, particularly
when addressed to them by their pendants. it is
of great consequence that the divisions of trans.
ports should be placed under the direction of some
men of war, suppose two frigates and a sloop to
each division, the senior taking all the respoosibi.

The Masters of the transports are most posi.
tively ordered to study the signals and arrange.

of them ; and if there is any part of them which
they do not perfectly understand, they are imme.
diately to apply to the Captains of the men of war
of their division for an explanation of them ; as
