LONDON, May 25.
An officer of one Of the fhips lately captured
by the Bold gun brig gives amof formidable sc-
count of the number os the cnenly's hotilia in

amount to 5000; is cor fdent that the attempt
At invaon will be made this fumu,er; that the
French feet will come ont aud fight ours, and
that white they IRE fighting us with their ihips
of the line, their large frigates will rclcafe the
foti!la from the different ports. & convoy them

ed little by the menaces of Ruilia : indeed, his
fears from that quarter are about the fame tone

tween Sweden and Pruiiia the former power
is fnppofed to be fpirited up by RuiIia and
the latter is well known to have failed in re-
cent negotiation with that court. Aultria
is very jealous of the proceedings in Italy,
and has augmented her Gordon of troops TO
$4,000.
