LONDON, APRIL II.
The journey of Madame Bonaparte, mother
of the Firt Conful, to Rome, at the preient con-
juncture, is a circumstance which may give rife
TO various conjectures, Especially as The was at
tended with ftrong guard, and ieemed in fuch
hate that ihe would not itop to receive the con-
ordinations of the public funaonaries.
According to letters from Paris, an a,,drsfs
has been preientcd to the Firit Coniul by the
Confervative Senate, praying him not only to-
same his iuccellor, but to take upon hiinfeif a |
higher title than he has vet aiumed, and to make
the fame HEREDITARY in his family.
The Gazette de France of April Sd, fays, |
&c public funds have riicn tince the day On
which the Senate in body prefented an addrels |
to the Frtt Conf, though the Object of it is not
exactly known
The preparations for invading this COUNTRY
are now in flch fate of forwardnefs, that the
attempt may be expected to be made in very
fhort iime..

We this morning were favoured with note
from gentleman who has juf efcaped from
France, having left Dieppe on board an Ameri-
can flip homeward bound on Friday laft, and
landed on the coat of Dorfet from an open boat
on Monday. He itates, that the army encamp-
ed along the coat of Picardy have began to ma
nifeit great difcontent at the delay, which has
taken place respecting the invafon of this coun-
try, which they have been aflured three feveral
times in the cour1c of fix months would certain
ly be put in execution at given period. The
middle of November WIS the frf time mention
ed, the lalt week of January the fecond, and the
third the middle of March, fnce which the ac-
tivity OF the preparations has comfortably re-
Taxed, except In what regards the exchanges of
troops, above twenty battalions of whom our
informant affiHes US, were ordered into the in
terror during the period of his ftay on the coat,
which was about a fortnight In regard to the
rumours of Intersections, &c. in Paris, he flaws
they arrive daily; and though perhaps altoge-
thsr uDfounded, they are generally coniidered
as itrongiy expretilve OF the wiihes of the peo-
pie, which are every where explicitly in favour
OF peace with England.
In the concurring opinion of MANY eminent
medical men, we have had an opportunity of
committing, there is in the process verbatim the Mo-
nitenr internal evidence to prove that General
Pichegru did not, and could not commit fuicide

Our readers will remark, that no anfwer ao-
pears to have been returned by the Swedifh am
oaiiador to NJ. Talleyrand's letter, tranfinitting
the correspondence attributed to MIR. Drake.
We have reafon to believe, from circ,lmGance
winch we ihall tate preiently, that the Swedifh
Government viii not authorize its amha1ador at
Paris, to initiate theconduGt of mott of the other
ambafladors in that Capital. The King of Swe-
den was at Baden when the Duke d Enehein
was kidnapped he was on a yiit TO his father
i;l-law, the Ele6tor of Baden. AT the violation
or tie independence and territory of the Eleeto-
rate by French troops, aud at the feizure of the
unfortunate Prince, he cxpreiled great indiena
ton, and Immediately fent over to the ln.baf1a
dorhere, Baron de Silverheim, proteft, couch
cd in very ftrong and manly terms, againf that
infamous and barbarous tranfa6ton. The Swe-
dlh ambanador has received directions to deli
yer copies ofitto all the foreign ambahadors at
the court of London, and we hope to he able to
lay it before our readers tomorrow or next dsy.
We underitand that It's of comfortable length.
This protect does the greateft honour to bis Swe-
dilh Majcny.

Yesterday morning, Mr.. Sparrow, the Mefen

1t was lat night reported at the wen end of
'he town, that Mr.. Drake has been given up bv |
the EleGtor of Bavaria, and is now prifoner in |

which the Chief ConGu is fad to have loft his |
