Lord Mellon, had arrived at Spithead about
eight o'clock in the morning. The ihipin which
he came home isplaced under quarantine, but
permifIion was given to his Lordnip to come on

Some further accounts from the coats were
received yefterday by Government, which tend
fill more, it is fad, to ftrensthen the belief that
the attempt at invaiion will fpeedily be made
Thehoops continue embarked on board the fleet
in the Texel Their number is about $4,000
Admiral Ruael being reinforced with two more
Aips of the line, has failed from Yarmouth Roads
ITO proceed again to the Texel. The Boulogne

there is comfortable degree of exapoeration
We not only doubt the actual march of run
an army; but we can difcover notbinq in the
Pah conduct of the King of Pruf1ia, or in the
general lineot politics to which he is attached n
warrant the idea that he will not take part with
france. It's. however, very probable, that the
ratiiicatlon OF the treaty with Rufia has been
received by Government. IF Ruf1ia be deter

cordially operations againft France. + "a TIM
