CurioGty IS alive to know the deaination
Of the Toulon feet, and various conje6tures are
formed on the fubje9.
Algiers cannot Be- the ohjea for the num-
Der Of land forces on board IS not equal to an
efcaual enterprise ag4in& the numerous and
ferocious Moors.
It is hardly probable tba, Naples is the OBJ
ieet: Tor that fmall kingdom is too weak to
give the Directory any unea(nels. 1t may ref
at Prelent, and be fubdueI when France has
more leilure for her forces.
We have not heard that the French feet has
attempted to leave the Medierranean, and may
prelume it is bound to the Levant.
The qlenion occurs, what is its obie6 We
can only indulge eonje8ures. The efforts
France has made and IS making to excite in
fIrredions in India would lead US to conjecture
that III. had it in view 10 overthrow the Britih
government in India, and if pofIible, deprive
her rival Of her pofe1ions in that quarter Of the
globe. The opening Of the ancient courfc Of
trade By the Red Sea, has been fuggeRed as
an ohje8 cf French politics: and if France
could get pOfelion Of large part of the
Peniniua Of India, it might be fuipe9ed that
thele two objeSts are connected is view.
But altho France may Rrongly deGre to ex-
pei the Britilh government from India, and
monopolize the trade, there are great Difficult
ties which oPpole themfelves to the undertak
ing, and the objea feems to be Of too re.
mote and uncertain advantage, to occupy the
prefsnt government of France.
Several circumtances concur to cad us to
believe the Object of The Toulon feet, IS fome
part Of Turkey probably the MOrea frR, and
afterwards the Romeha, and all the country
of ancient Greece and Macedonia ; or per
haps on the Afiatic ihore, Smyrna or the
Syrian coat. The capture Of the lies on the
Guph of Venice and the care which the
French have taken to keep poAeilion Of thofe
Hands, lead Us 70 conjecture, that thefe were
intended as fta,ions from which 10 annoy
Turkey and iaally to make a lodgment GU
the continent, raie the inhabitants into rebel
lion, unite with the malcontents, as they have
in Holland, placing ftrOng garriions in the
country and finally iubdue ak the fine coun-
tries on the Archipelago, thus getting com
mand of the whole trade. The French are
ar prefent almoR excluded from the Atlantic
by the Britih heet-and it IS obvious they
intend 10 Pufh their advantage 70 the Medlter-
ranean, TO compenfate for that lois. The centre
command Of the Levant feems to be in their
power An open rupture with the Porte may
even be ftcretly deired, as this will enable
France openly 70 aid the rebel Palaw OgIoue,
and flake the Sultan's throne. The podtfion
of the Black Sea would open immenfe Profpe8s
Of trade and dominion TO an ambitious nation,
and as numerous mines of wealth as are to be
found on earth. It may be policy in France
TO begin The rcvolutionizng frenzy in the eaa,
before ihe pulhes the lpirit any further in the
WET.

or EUROPE.
The French papers are replete with
articles indicating the fPeedy renewal
ofhofilitics between Auitria & France;
and of the formation Of a powerful CO.
alition, againt that devastating rePub-
lie. The world has long leen the over
bearing arrogance and ambition Of the
French Directory, and is only waiting a
favorable opportunity TO give them a
fevere check. Ifthe nations unite their
forces, act heart and hand, and when
they put their hands to the plough,
fwear they will not look back, we may
auger that the ebb tide Of the French
will be as rapid as their flood. Their
conduct inSwitzerland has cemen,ed the
reGentment & adherence of all nations !;
and all mutt heartily pray for the
downfall Of the mott abominablc tyran-
ny that ever afflicted the world.
1t may be relied on that admiral
Mellon has failed into the Mediterrane-
an, with II fail Of the line, beGdes fri
gates, &c. to intercept the ToulOn eX-
petition. On the 1T June he was Of
Toulon; and was keeping frict eye
on the Gallo and Venetian fhiPs. i
cannot be doubted that this vigilan,
commander will give good account OF
the convoy of " the left 10in{ Of tb,
army Of England !" perhaps at as iuper-
convoy to the ports Of Plymouth or

that the Conlpiracy in Ireland, was of very
ferrous and alarming nature. On its difcovery,
fourteen delegates were found fitting and imme.
6i4tely taken into cuRody. Many papers de-
veloping their plot were found upon Elem-
and il appears their aim was to facriice the
kingdom to the views Of the French Republic
The day fixed upon for efcding the revolution,
was St. Patrick's day, which being kept as a
feltival, it was expected advantage might be Ia
ken OF the inebriety Of The people and an ar
tempt was 10 be made TO feze all the principal
officers Of government. It was expected that
the French would have force ready TO CO.
operate wiki the confprators. Lord Edward
Fitzgerald, one Of the principal ringleaders, had
efcaPed, but every means had been taken 10
aIref him. 1t is f4d that the whole nation has
been Fut under martial law.
