letter, are already built more than fuficient TO

to contain tuch a number of ve3cIs; and the f.

Some damages have been already FILTERED at
Boulogne and Ambeteufe, from theft barbonrs
being over-crowded with vefTels, though ftveral
hundred more boats ard flips were ordered
there before the expedition was TO be undcrta-

attempted. If is reported that the fcheme of
lalt year, to make Guernley and Jeriey bridge
over to England, is now revived, and a camD of
$4,000 men is ordered to be formed between
st. MaIo and Granville, and dvifon of the

be joined by 10000 men from Amblcteuf,, at
