When met with by the Fifhguard, she was on her return to France withoutlanding any of the troops, having received intelligence of the difafbons fate of the army under Gen. Humbert, whieh induced them to re linquilh the favorite projedt ,of invasion. An Irish revenue boat went along fide, con ceiving (he was an English (hip from having falfe colours, the crew of which were de tained as prifonera, and obliged to a£t as pilots. About 50 Iri(h gentlemen went en board her whtltt she continued on the coast, seven of whom are said to be in rrom on board the Fifhguard , who, from the friend intercourfe that appeared to subsist between them rffcd >he enemv s may naturally be con fidsred aa no very good friend* own country. Previous to falling in with the Fifhguard, (he was said to have engaged and beat off an English frigate of fuperror force ! but , this, as it is bare assertion of their own, , needs confirmation. The linmortalite was one of the squad ron which failed from Brest, confiding of one ship of the line and 8 frigates ; they , proceeded a great way to the weflward, and ; then tacked .awl flood for Ireland, but L' , Immortalite and another frigate, separated ] in a gale before they reached the place of del" a tination.

General Monge, second in com niandj and also the French captain, were bbth killed at the fame moment, near the .wheel by a cannot (hot. The French officers express their doubts ' 3 of their being able to succeed in an expedi- ' ' w tion against Ireland, aud feejn to think that c further attempts on that country, are like- 11 ly to. prdve as fruitlefs as the preceding ones. a The French f'oldiers appear to be picked men, '' being inoftiv stout fejlbws, drefTed in green j!
