have behaved in well ; and those of the Aloselle,
the Maese, the Vosges, Ace. where all the citizens
arc sqltlice4, wonll have poured forth, in fifteen
tir twenty days, an army of 20,000 men, against
any who should intuit the French territory.
Thq must finally have heels ignorant, th4t the
gendarmerie atone furnishes 16,000 of the finest
cavalry in Europe. 111 Ices than eight days four
thousand horse of this class were assembled, while
Lord Chatham had only two thousand cavalry in
bis whole expedition.
" All the ulterior objects of the eipeditioa have been in.
dispistxtylv abandoned. and we he..itate nal to ay, that evert
wile man will praise Ministers fur their cotriact, in wet at-
tetnptiat enterprises. which, in eanbetrienee of flie chadge of
chreautances, since the expedition was planned, could not
Inge succeeded, except Man expellee of blood far exceeding
their valve."

deserve praise, for hawk: ren.orneed their expedi.
tiJn, bat they must be eensoraxl for having under.
taken it : they, douhfless, deserve praise for eva.
crating the town of Flushing ; but they must be
censured for not having already abandoned it. As
long as the sickly season lasts, She French will not
attack Flushing, and while there are 1.2.'0r 15,000
awn at Fluihing, they will not be sent to Spain.
If they continue in the island of IValcherou during
the month of November, they will lose at least
3,000 asowland upwaribtof 9,000 will fall sick ; and
"opposing they reach England again, they will re.
tarn estsattstvd by fatigue, and pass the whole win.
ter in a tedious convalescence. The mad concep-
tions of the British Ministry furnish France with a
most converient way of getting rid of her eneteito.

" It is trite, that we have not made ourselves ma4tell of
Aidwirrp ; but it is equally true, that ne possess the key of
that city ; and this paws-jots is so much the m tie sreure;, 1. •

an that the etteru v cannot. for a Nag tins.% at least, derive soy
a+l+:ustage from the arscord and dock-yor,l, of that place."
NOTE OF 191 E slnivereett....No, yon hove not
the key of the Scheldt; neither can yuu have it.
If you intend to keep Flushing, so much the worse
for yourselves. The 13,000 men, whom you leave
there, yin .till lose by disease or capitulation...6:s
is as certain, as if they were already taken. Ai to
the large ships which you hive sunk ;n the passes,
they will he of no more service than the hulks
which you sunk at Toulon ; These were raised
without dilficelty, bet. in his ease, that trouble is
not even neeessary The Schiditt will soon do their
business, or form better passages than the present.

NOTE OF TOZ Mosistui....You already fore-
see what the French will do; roe foresee that
14,000 men will, sot be sufficient. Yoe must
then keep '20,000 mee in the island of ‘Valche-
ren ; bet to keep 20.000 mutt in that island, you
must employ at least 30,000, in order successively
to supply the place of those who are carried off by
disease.... These 20,000 men is ill be taken, and we
shall indemnify ourselves for the 4000 eho have
Capitalaleti, and amen; whom there were not
1,000 French. And when shall we take these
20,00 CV ;nen ? SVhen our armies are in the progenee
