They are tbengge the French gun-boats un jder the protection ot the greater ships, and it is thought that they will doubtless provoke them toa ge neral engagement. We have only to observe upon thisthat if they ven ture too near the coast they will be exposed to the land batteries, and it "cannot be supposed that the French will hazard themselves' out oi their protection. , Tt is impossible to say whether the chance of invasion, diminishes briricreasesi as we have no source $f information but the occasional report of a ' sloop who has peeped into the harbours, and can, at best give but an imperfect account ; for, surely, we cannot trust to thein. Jteiligence of the deserters of Bou logne, or to the exaggerations, and delusions of the French papers. It is generally thought that the Brest fleet is prepared for sea, and will venture on an attempt against Ireland. Our blockading fleet is not so strong but that the enemy .'will hrard a meeting with it. r "' JULY 14. Frankfort Journals of the 3d inst. have reached us. Another instance of the all controuling influence of France in the affairs of the Empire! has occurred in the last sitting of the Germantic-Di et. So far was .: that meeting from taking into con sideration the Emperor Alexan derVNote with respect to the vio lation of the territory of Baden, that although the members were expres ly summoned for that purpose, the protocol was not opened, nor any allusion whatever was made to the subject. Unless, therefore, the Emperor of Russia should think proper , to revive the question, it xnay be considered as definitely set at rest. The French force now at Havre consists of 140 gun vessek and boats of vhich 70 lately came down the Seine. Letters from the British squadron employed in the blockade of that port, state, that expectations are entertained by our officers of an attempt being shortly made by the enemy to force a passage along shore. 1 A report prevails at Dover, that nearly one hundred sail of the ene my's gun-boats under coavoy of a sloop, have with in these few days back, effected their escape from Boulogne to Cherbourg. They proceeded sq near in shore, that it was impossible for our ships either to intercept them, or in any mate rial degree to interrupt their pro gress. We trust that the small craft now fitting out to annoy the enemy in shoal water, will be fitted out with all possible expedition. The moment appears to approach when it will be impossible, any lon-j ger to avoid a.erious rujrture with the Court of Madrid, and we ap prehend that one with Portugal will take place at no great length of time from the former. Can it be denied that British subjects in both these countries have been harrassed and insulted, while the subjects of France are treated with extraordi nary indulgence, and even the laws strained and violated for their ac commodation and interest ? Pri vate letters also state, ' in positive terms, that commercial treaties, highly injurious coour trade have been concluded betwen Spain and ?Prtugal and his Imperial Majesty Bonaparte. The best informed politicians have lone doubted the wisdom of our inactivity with res pect to these countries, in whose Councils the flat of the Usurper is every thing t but we believe that a very short time will n t elapse be fore the reason and grounds of this inactivity must become the subject of public discussion." To the Protest oiXouis XVIII, ,nBonapartes turning the titleof Emperorof the French, may ...ih.5 inc reumiot Kussia to recognize bun with that tide. 1 1 tThe Moniteur..Na184. having aertefrtnat lf r. irhe.Eng-, lisfr minister ratSladrld, in a coiw versatioakh, the prince of peace, h'adsaidjf that asssassination and, murder are -'lawful In the, present state of things, to save England from the i extraorfltnary situation in which it is placed the English minister demands ot the J prince ot-.. peace that he should contradict the calumny :(. IJut the bpanisii minis ter waved the subject, by attribute ing the assertion to an unofficial Gazeteer, of which no notice ought to be taken : Frere persisted in his demand, and drove the vassel of Bonapartelhto a small corner. , The correspondence (says the Sun) between the British, minister at the coin of Madrid, and the prince of peace, relative to the in famous aspersions in the -Moniteur imputing sentiments and expres sions to the former, tending to sanction assassination, forms so ve ry extraordinary a state paper, thai it would almost, be reasonable to doubt its authenticity; if the mean Submission whiohwhas been shewn towards France by most countries except Great-Britain, did; not igive it a character of probability and truth. On one side .we see a man of honor anxious of his own repu tation and that of the government ofwhichhe is the representative, requiring a justification from the person who, a3 the British Minister properly observes, is at oncetheonly " judge and witness." On the other side, we see stu died cautiony artful reserve, and an abject avoidance, of alLexplana tion upon the subject in question. The other, however, maintains the same artful silence, and endea vours to turn the correspondence into matter that have no relution to the subject. But the design of the Spanish minister is frustrated by his very attempt to disguise it ; for it is evident that if he could have confirmed the infamous state ment imhe official journalof France, his submissive policy towards that country, would have induced him to do so without hesitation. After such conduct, it cannot be wonder ful that the Spanish minister should retain the name of the prince of peace, so far as relates to his mea sures respecting France, and there can be little doubt that, whatever may Ifc the conduct of France to wards Spain, the Spanish minister will always endeavour to preserve his pacific appellation. A private letter from the Hague of the 1st ins t. says, " We are un certain how soon the expedition against England will be undertaken, although every thing is read)" and several regiments have been erru b&rked for more than a fortnight, on board the fleet in the Texel; on the other hand nearly one hun dred merchantmen, put in requisi tion or hired last autumn, have i been restored to trade gradually : so that the whole number of trans ports, actually , employed and at anchor in the Texel, do not amount to more than eighty. The armed vessels, as frigates, gun-boats, and cutters, &c. have been augmented, every where on the coast, on ac count of the repeated attempts ot the English cruizers. In the Meuse alone, one frigate, five gun boats, and three cutters, are stationed, in addition to the num ber employed last May. " Of the fourteen thousand men at the Helder and in North Hol land, eight thousand are embarked, the remainder are yet emcamped, but in such a state that they may be taken on board in a few hours. The camp near Utrecht, under Ge neral Mormont, contains only 18,000 men mostly French : of whom 1,500 are at Amsterdam, 1,300 at Rotterdam, 800 at the Hague. Several corps of French re cruitsor conscripts, to the amount of 14,000 men, have passed through Holland for Hanover, within these last 4 weeks. " The business of the indem nity to the Prince of Orange, for his family property in Holland, is now settled, and the Prince's rati fication is only rwanted to make it public Besides three millions of florins in ready money, his Serene Hfghnes is to receive two millions and a half .a a private indemnifica tion, partlyin yearly instalments and partly for an annuity, which has to run for one hundred years.

THEO HUHTER, . JOHNM.GOODLOE.Ex'rs. Aug. 24. 1304. ' NORTH-CAROLINA. treasury Office, August I, t804: TTHE handsome and punctual man iter in which the Sheriffs in particular, and the Revenue Officer of this State gene rally, have latterly settled and accounted for the Taxes and other public Dues, authorises a belief that it no longer remaii'necessary they should be reminded of the propriety of a strict and continued attention to this im portant and indispensably duty. It is fully hoped and expected, that-the conduct of those (Gentlemen for the current year, will further prove their determination to sustain a reputation hitherto so weU deserved. This, therefore, is rather addressed ' to the Jew who have failed and are in anrear, than to the manv who have done their duty, and are in the habit of paying in full ; and is meant to call their attention to the List of Names J and Balances, nublished by order of the last Assembly, and bound, up with me Acts ot that session. At the Court for Hillsborough district, which will commence on the 6ih day of Ocr tober next, Judgmentx, pvith Interest and Costs, will be had in -every instance of ar rear. . It is not necess'ary that more should be said on a subject in itself so little agreea ble, the duty of the Public Treasurer being defined and known to all : It remainsonly therefore for him to hope, that those con cerned will perceive in thiscirfy and timely Warning, a renewed proof of his friendship and disposition ta serve and to oblige ; aud that, losing sight of all further indulgence, they will forthwith seriov.jly set about doing away the very disagreeable" necessity of his proceeding against them.
