nori , as » ca P c ‘ Patterson, from Green
-1f 4 frhe mentioned port
e _ l on the i|th of January) we have
«jjj n j lr oured with papers as late as the
t month. From them we have
*hc following important Intel-
C-f)'K K| jfatsu&ryx s.
The report in circulation in London—
for in the absence of a better authenticated
intelligence even reports are not to be
neglefted:—is,—that nuniftersare resolv
ed on another continental expedition, to
afiift the royaliftsin the weftern provinces
of France.—Mr. Pitt is said to have a I
conference with Monsieur, refpefting the
belt means of supporting the Cbouan in
fumftion, by fending over immediately
the most approved emigrant officers, and
afterwards making a defeent.—Britilh
and Ruffian troops are to tie employed,
but under the command of a Ruffian gene
ra!, and some fay Suwarrow —Sir Charles
Gray and iord Moira, are both mentioned
as the English generals in chief. The
troops destined for Ireland are said to be
countermanded, and the brigades, lately
formed on the Dutch e are
quartered near each other, to be. ready for
embarkation at rh.: ■ -■„* i.otice.—Of
a ftrniUr complex!:: . h ihetc rumors, —
for they icahy. •> e >.O very little
more, —,h«t Buonaparte
harbpr toe iai V - ■/ of giving up
the estates, ar-.i '•• jy o.' the Chouans
to ilie i '.-idje<‘ V ers. who (hall seize
on, and m •fi'.cv:. lirie uti'brtunate men;
unless Mi u-:. cUys die v deliver up their
arms, and the it,...» wi h which we have
supplied tittiii. V c wll not so far dis
grace human natme ro attribute, fora
moment, so atr 4 octous a conception even
to Buonapam
, All that is cer\rin on this fubjeft a
mounts to thi :, that four frigates have al
ready landed their cargoes, of armsandam
munition in the C. ouan country, and se
veral other veficls of war are now ready
to fail for the some destination.—The
Chouan chiefs pre»end to negociate with
the new go vernment of France ; but it is
probably the only means to gain time.—
To diftraft elk Ftench councils, and wea
ken their etrorts no the real theatre of the
war, it is pet fed v politic in Greait-Bri
tain to threat in an invafioti in Britanny ;
and byway of d:r e fion, even to carry it
into effe‘sl. i tic port of Brest is situated
' in a penlnfula, the isthmus of which, from
L’Orient to St. Brieux, is not
50 geographical idles over—Could a force
be landed’, fufiicient to occupy this penin
sula, even for a few days, the French
fieet must either come out and rifkan en
gagement, or be burnt in their own hart
bor.—But fay the opponents to all conti
nental expeditions, this attempt wouldbe
equally unprofperous as all those we have
ever been engaged in. Granted ; —and
yet it might be perfectly proper to under
take it.—For if it obliges the French to
keep at home an army, fuppofo of 50,000
men, who would otherwise be fighting at
the frontiers; even the apprehension of
failing in it ought not to deter us from
undertaking it.—Possessed of the undis
puted empire of the sea, we should, on
the contrary, endeavor to convert the
land force we maintain to the general ad
vantage of the common cause.—That an
immense eftablithment of between two and
three hundred thousand men, besides the
Ruffian auxiliaries, should befolelykepl up
for the purpose of home defence, now that
our fleets alone are equal to the talk of
repelling invasion, is inconsistent with
common fenfe.—Either# therefore, the
army must be reduced, or what is more
eligible perhaps, - nployed effeftually to
the annoyance of the common enemy, and
that too, in the most vital, and vulnera.
ble quarter; for the Chouan country cuts
Brest entirely off from the rest of France.
LONDON, January 1.
Letters from Berlin mention, that citi
zen Duroc is about to set off immediately
for Paris. “He must (fays a letter) have
been as much pleased with our court as

it is presumed he carries back a plan of
peace, the firft (ketch of which was given
him by Buonaparte.
