An atticlt; under the head of Dover, De

, a French gun-boat sunk in their pier. She
is lugger rigged, 68 fctt long, I8 feet 8 in

6light built, her timber only 4 inches square,
plank one inch and a quarter thick, has one .
short brass gun ubaft a 32 pounder, another
(it is presumed in the how) a long 18 poun

Frequent conferences are stated to have
t&kcn place at Paris, between the French mi
nister of foreign alTit.irs, atulthe Austrian and
Prussian ambassadors, relative to a differ
ence between Austria and Bavaria. An
Austrian army of 60,000 men, is mentioned
to have 'marched towards the Bavarian fron
tiers. The prevailing opinion on the conti
nent, was, thai if the misunderstanding should
lead loan actual rupture between Austria
and Bavaria, the former will be aided by Rus
sia, and the latter by France, probably also by
Prussia. It was further understood that the
obvious inclination of his PrtiMian niajeslv to
adopt this line of conduct, had produced Mime
serious remonstrances on the part of the ttt
peror Alexander.

(adds the same article) report states that the
expedition ,is,postpoiied till the spring. .
But these reports in Holland of the expe
dition's having been abandoned till the spring
may. be circulated tor the puspose of mislea
ding and throwing us oft our guard. The
enemy may accompany these rumours with
demonstrations and movements calculaVed to
give them greater currency and credit.
They may order the boats to move higher
up the Dutch rivers- they,' may direct the
.i troops. to march frorj the coast, and persons,
witnessing these operations might conclude
thul no immediate Jittcinptcoultl be intended.
On the other hand, Government, we under-'
stand, are of opinion that the expedition
is no; suspended tiil the spring. It was re
port eti last night, how truly we are at present
unable to state, that Buonaparte left Paris on1
the 25th ult. was -at Calais on the 3d, anH tha
- after remaining there a few. "hours, he pro

ing" the idea that the expedition" has been
suspended, mention itjis the general exptc
tatipn at Rotterdam on the 31st ult. that the
invasion would take place in a few days. -Buonaparte's
arrival upon the French coast
is an event not calculated to strengthen the
report that the 'expedition has been put"
oft." '

that he must have travelled post from Paris.
On the following day, he inspected his Naval v

Toops. lie was afterwards, is Avtis expccttcl,
to take the route of Dunkirk, Bruges, and
Ostend. Troops are stated, in articles from
Ghent, -Visle, -and Dunkirk, to be still joining '
the army of England, and the Arsonals and '
Magazines atlasle have bet-n nearly empti
ed by the immense'eonsumption of the ar
my on the coast. AH the accounts 'lately re
ceived from Holland seem to concur in
stating, that the -attempt "will 'certairily bo
made in the coutfe of the present month'.
The Italian troops, are on their march to
the Northern coast, .as is also said tobe the '
army. under General. Arigereau, that was as-'
sembled at Bayonnc. Buonaparte ha-
ving gained the object for which that ar- -my,
was assembled, viz. drawing large sup
plies from Spain and Portugal, grinder the
pretextof a purchase for "'their-' Neutrality,
will now employ that army in adding to the
force to be employed against 'us.
If these accounts from Holland are to be .
credited, .Buonaparte seelns very seriously to '
mrditatc a -speedy essay of his favourite pro
ject of Invasion. We know that all the mili
tary men about him speak Avith enthusiasm'
on the subject an enthusiasm kindled by

They see nothing 'but destruction before
them, the moment they iMie from their
ports. The -more -sober and experienced -judgments,
however, we have no right to
Huppose that Buonaparte will regard ; and it ,
is only, probably, by the total defeat of his
scheme, that he will be convinced of its' fol
ly, and absurdity. His present visit to the
coast, we should suppose must be decisive oF
