Wheu orr paper had been tonle time Al, pre,s, ~s
received information that, The Hdn. Mr.. WeAey had
arrived at the Secretary of States Office with dill
patches from Lord Malmesbury at Life. MIR. Wef-
ley came to Dover in the Kings packet, Capt. o.

papers, viz. TEprope Pol.ieue e, Literaire, Of tina

received, has the following paragraph. 4 =

We yefte-day translated literally the articles reis>

received by exprels. The late honr however at
which thefe papers came to our. hands prevented US
then from making any obervations or the probabiii
ty of the intelligence that they apnpunceo--hat
forty to be now. under the necessity of tatinss
that it is total!y void of foundation. We have in-
deed, every reaon to believe, that theie accounts
have been fabricated at arts fer the fame purpoc
that the LEclsir was lst year forged in London,
natrely, that of having effect on the funds. Tha
fchense, however, of the unprincped flock .obbers

In addition to the lift which had been given in

this fuhject, by expressing @Ehes that the NAMES

From the late hour at which the French papers
