BOSTON, October. :.

by the Gaien, arrived at this port, London
papers have been received to the 18th Aueuf
VI me coalition between Auftria, Ruf.ia and
ing s ad1y Of Rnsa MRo is ass s
body of troops at Corfu for the purpofe of ma
king deficient upon Italy, under the protection
OF the Britiih feet in that quarter and it is
likewic reported, that frong force is on its
wayto the fouthern frontiers of Poland, in order
to cooperate with the troops of Anftria, which
are known to be attending in that quarter
though under the prereXt of maintaining an in
dependent and fate neutrality. The eftahlifh-
ment of this formidable coalition, uniting all the
northern powers, except Prufiia and Denmark,
will bring aganft France military force Infinite
ly more powerful, vigorous, and better concert
ed than any of the former afiociations under that
name.
1t is correctly afcertained, that the Grand
Seignior, is augmenting and organizing his ar
my; and that the mott friendly intercourfc ex-
fits between his government and the miniasrs of
Ruflia and England.
In addition to the general and uniform opini-
en- which prevails in all parts of Europe, that an
alliance of almoft all the northern powers has
been efablifhed ayainft France, we are enabled
to relate, on the authority of private letter re-
| cevcd here from high fource of refpee ability
| in London, that "a fubfdy Of $500, 900, in fpe-
Gle, was then packing up at the bank, defined,
principally for the continent but to what pow
or was not publicly known"
| Letters from Madrid, ftates, that the mott ac-
tive preparations are going on in all the ports of
Spain. At Cadiz four new Hips ofthe line, one
OF l36 guns, were ready for fea.
| The emperor Napoleon arrived at Boulogne
on the Sd inf. and the following day reviewed
the infantry, which were drawn up on the beach
and extended from Cape d'Afpret as far as Cape
Cnznez. The number of troops exceeded
10000 and his majefy was on horseback from
10 in the morning, until 7 in the evening.
After ihort ftay at Bonlognc, Bonaparte will
proceed to Hrivoetqny5 and the HeLier, to iufped
the formidable preparations making at both
thofe places.
1t was thought that Bonaparte, on his vft tc
Holland, contemplated to receive in that coun
. try, the fame honors, he obtained in Italy
Switzerland, it was alto faid, would flare tht
. fame fate.
The French and Italian troops in Upper Ital,
, are eflimated at 10000.
, Intelligence has reached England, that tn
: whole of the French coat, from Moraix to Buo
2 logne, is lined with troops for the avowed pur
pole Of invading England that the cannon
camp equipage, 1nu unition, &c. provided 70
the grand expedition, is beyond all example
and that the foliiers fpeak of the invaiion i
Trains ofrapture and enthufaim.
Some letters from the continent ftate, tina
!. the expedition was to have taken place early i
r Augut, but fquadron of men of war whic
!, was expected from Rochefort or Brefl rmor
q probably TIE combined French and Spaniri feet
+ had not arrived, but was rnomently looked fo
/. No doubts appeared to be entertained throuyl
/. out the whole Of the armed coat, which flretcl
e es from Brett to the Tesel, bat that the inyafio
