which we have fpoken corroborate
each other in the report that s line of
battle fhips are ready for fea in the
Texel, and 400 tranfPortS, with about
1000 cavalry already embarked.-
About 10000 troops are alfo ready
near Amiterdam and its vicinity. /
really think fleet, ere next month is
expired, will come up the Channel to
give us little glory, when, probably,
the craft in Boulogne may attempt an
invaiion. There are two or three diff
ficuties however, that this attempt of
theirs will mott evidently have to con-
tend with, be their attempt made when
irmay, to furmount which is NOT, thank
God, exactly at their command. In
the frlt place we have afcertained that,
with all their invention and cunning,
they cannot bring out more than geo
veiiels from the 3 harbors at Boulogne,
at one tide, 800 from each and thefe
only at ipring tide. This is not one
third or their number, and will lie o.
pen to the attack Of our lqua son from
the moment the ieoond divifion of their
hotilla begins TO move out. Second
ly--Ihe tides are 10 various in the
channel, fetting iucb different ways,
that it is impoiiible they can keep to-
geher the attempt of keeping to-
gether will be the deitructiou of many
of them add TO this the ilnpoflibility
of their landing on this hore the fame
tide. They mutt, therefore, in wait
ing the opportunity of landing, with
out a hyperion naval force to proted
them, run the r;lS of total deltruaion
ere they reach the Britih flores.
&C | have been thus particular, to
give fatisfaction to the numerous en-
quiries of our friends, and to thew
you that every exertion and attention
on the part OF Government is exerted
againit the woia of coniequences.-I
| allure you, that the fquadron on this
important pof, amounts to not leis
than 70 vefels of war, of different
defcriptions."
