A very alarming report has prevailed
in the city during the last two days, that
nine fail of French line of battle (hips,
full of troops, failed from Brelt the be
ginning of last month, for Weft-In
diej. That a hostile fleet of that force
was out, has been ascertained by the
testimony of the matters of several neu
tral viefiels; but it was at firft general
ly imagined, that their object was the
intercepting of the homeward bound
India men, which took (helter in Gal
way-lßay.
Tfoefe, however, having so fortu
nately escaped, it is now much feared
that tlie defoliation of this squadron was
differe nt from that at firft apprehended,
and th »t apprised of our weakness in the
Weft-Undies, the French Government
have d ctermin'ed to attempt the annihi
lation Ips our power in th; 1 * quarter of the
globe 1 an enterpriie in which, (hould
this b<: the cafe, there is too much rea
son to believe that they must inevitably
fucceefl, unless the most speedy and

Tht French have fuffered extremely

are likely to meet with in their attack
upon Holland, if they still attempt to ,
push their conquests in that country.
It is curious to remark exactly the
fame reproaches thrown out against Ro
btfpierre and his party, with which
they themselves had loaded the Briflfo
tines : we find the fame determination
avowed by their fuecefTors, of chang
ing the fyltem of despotism for that of
Liberty ; of cruelty and injullice, for
that of mild and equitable law. But
in the midst of this succession of parties,
and of the attendant cruelties and hor
rors, with what pity and contempt mull
we behold the deluded wretches of
France, who can have been taught that
ihere has ever existed any thing like the
shadow j>f Liberty in the sanguinary
tyranny of Robespierre: or that,
while they have been robbed of theii
property, and forced for bread to the
army, they were living under a Repub
lic, which distributed to each individual
the rights which really belouged to
him.
Robespierre is now admitted by the
party prints to have been a very gujeat
rascal, though, for Come reason or otner,
he was a great man and a great patriot
while he lived. There is an old proverb
which may perhaps be applicable upon
this occasion, "No longer pipe, no
longer dance."

" Stupendous hills, without inhabi

huge rocks, where nought but moss
has ever ventured ; giddy precipices,
which the most daring approach with
dread j headlong dreams, murmuring

by deficiency ef nutriment, are the on

" The town of Bedford (lands in a
circular valley surrounded by mountains
on every fide except the north, where
the rising ground descends to. the deno
mination of hills. The dimtufioiu of
the valley lam not able to leain. The
mountains to the N. W. are not fuffi

the impression of the wind , and there

that quarter.
" The inhabitants are in general,
healthy—to this however, the present
season has c'onftituted an exception. Ir
termittents and some fluxes made their
appearance here, about the doling
months of the lad furfimer, and in the
beginning of the prefesrt autumn.
" Of autumnal dlfeafes, scarcely the
veftage remains among the troops of
our regiment—nor has the difcafes of

by Lord Howe's fleet on the lil June,
were tip on fui{)icion of having

iron bound (hovels, and it is imagined
one of them struck fire sgainfl i'ome of
the nails, which occasioned the accident.

was looked upon as the fineft (hip of

atrocities, will be doubtlcfs ae.noved
from the poflibility of future action.
No violence is however offered to any
man iri making him prisoner, unless he
either relists or attempts to fly—thus
