Confederate alarm was excited here, on
Friday Taft. Signals were made for an e.
my's fleet, about two O'Clock thirteen
gun boats were 70 near Granville Bay, that
their huils couldbe perceived from the low
eft part of the hore, without the helo
OF glaiies. They were in fight for fome
hours, and appeared to be failing in the di-
rectlon OF Granville. At night the Mer-
curry tr!Gate, Captain Bouverie, come from
Bantry Bay, and made chace. On Satur-
day night a very heavy cannonade was
heard on the French coat, iuppofed to be
the trigate engaging the gun venels. On
Sunday night a heavy firing was again
heard; icarce a day palIes but what fignals
are made for ENJOYS or yefIels pafing along
the French coat. There appears to be a
great want Of light veflels on this ffation.
to intercept them had there been a few
gun briggs o. cutters in Granville Pav on
Friday, they could eaGly have got up with
the French fhips, as they were in fight .fe-
veral hours. 1t is true that fometimes =
gun brig or two comes to Granville Bav
from Guernfey, but in general there is no
thing here TO intercept the enemey's fhips

to the following articles:
Thefe articles will naturally prefept

which IS, TO transfer the feat OF EmDire TO

LoNdeA OF the Mdiej. They will embark
6o,ooo troops and their whole Rect wiz

perhaps, that they have collected, near
Plymouth, force of 10000 men, to ferve,

OarkatIon. 1t is my opinion that the CO.

plan into execution immediately after the

OF feveral original letters, written by a
Miniiterr of England accredited one of the

ter recommends it Especially to his Agent,
to obtain a knowledge of the warlike plans

Ions employed in the mandatory of gun

Lucten Bonaparte, after his return from

that he has done France, he has difcovered
a plan of the King of Sardinia to throw
