rpH£ young son of La Fayette arrived at Hamburgh
I fome days since. He Is from Philadelphia, and las
come through Paris, ■where lie was favorably received by
the moll influential characters of the Republic. He is on
his way to Kolflein to visit his parents, whom he has not
Fcen fincc their liberation from tlie dungeons of Auftria.*
The health of La Fayette is much improved, but that of
his wife is fill very much deranged.
Paris, April 6. We are allured that Buonaparte is to
proceed to fome unknown part of our coast in five or fix
day * What is astonishing is, that fome pretend it will be
the Mediterranean, even for Toulon; however improbable
this ronjc&ure may be, it is .certain that fome of our Ge
nerals have repaired to Toulon with great expedition; that
maritime preparations have been made there with the utmost
celerity; that 10,000 troops are now there, or will soon
arrive, and that they are immediately to embark.
We do not know what to think of the report of an ex
pedition into Egypt, even with the consent of the Grand
Seignior,’ who is to be difincuiubercd of certain intra&able
Pachas, and to whom, on these conditions, it is proposed
to guarantee residue of his dominions. We do. not
know how far hopes are entertained of approaching India*,
or in this way attacking the Britifli power.
We do not know what can be tlie obje& of an expedition
©f 50 philosophers, dispatched by Government, and fur
nifhed with a great quantity of inftrunicnts for making dis
coveries, and evidently intended for a remote
which it fetms is concealed even from themselves.
We cannot difeover why fome arc embarked at T oulon,
and fome at Boundeaux; but we know that the public is
much agitated, that the moll aClive minds appear not to
have solved the problem of these perpetual movements, that
projeCls follow projects, that if the mcan3 sometimes change’
the objeCl is ever tlie fame; and w lravc been taught by
uninterrupted experience not to coufider as fabulous designs
tlie moll gigantic and extraordinary in appearance.
London , April 2. Advice was yesterday received in
town that the Stag cutter, of 14 ,guns, Lieut. Worth,
Rationed off Cadiz, has captured a very large Spanish (hip,
of- about 600 tons burthen, bound from the Manillas to
• Cadiz, laden with a valuable cargo, glides a large quan
tity of money, tlie whole supposed to be worth upwards
of 1 00,0001. When the letters came away (he was under
tlie escort of five fail of the line, bound to Gibraltar.,
April 10. Citizen Grouville, the French Envoy at
Copenhagen, has prevailed on tlie Court to command the
fuppreflion of the Croix de St* Louis worn by Emigrant
©dicers. Grouville has also demanded a loan of 6,000,000
of Danifli marks, and this also it is believed lie will obtain.
The French haye demanded a 44,000 ducats from the
King of Naples, and they have-also demanded that the
Cardial York (hall be delivered up to them..
April 12. Tliere are letters by tlie last China fliips to
persons of the firll authority here which mention that the
revolution there is likely to be fupprelTed by the exertion
of more vigorous meafurcs. The ybjeft is not that frantic,
equalizing system pursued in France, ot plunder and rob
bery, under tlie names of Reform and Liberty, but the re
floration of tb native Gbinefe Monarch*, de
posed by the Tartars. Tbe prefeat Emperor ts the sth of
the Tartar race. He was so depressed by the advantages
gained‘by the rebel over his own l artar troops that in a fit
of despair he swallowed poison, and was very ill when the
difpatche? came away. . r
The ci devant Emperor was in good health when theie
letters were written. He resigned his throne according to
a vow he made when he afeendod it.
A French journal contains the following character or
the youths of Paris: j A .

credulous, and as much the slaves ot ennui themselves as

with Patriots; presumptuous and enterprising when in a
mass; fools aud affrighted when alone. Should they con

April- 14. Oa Sunday morning last Mr. Flood the
Magistrate, attended by Mr. Reeves, one of the Clerks of
the Bowftreet Office, atid Carpmcal and Dowcett, two of
the Runners, and accompanied by three of his Majesty’s
Mdfrngers, frt off for Manchester, for the purple of ap
prehending fome persons implicated in a charge of treafon
ablc prattices. They reached Manchester on Tuesday ev
ening, and on Wednesday morning 13 perlons were appre
hended, aoiongft whom are laid to be two merchants ot
fome refpeftability, two fens of Cowdroy the printer, one
Chectham a cotton spinner, and one Fry a tailor. The
whole arrived last night iu tftwa under an efcprt of light,
horse. Five hundred Hand of ar were likewise found.
It is said that tlie information occalioned tlie ap
prelanfion of these men was given in confequtnce of a
quarrel among the party, which ‘im furniflied a due to
great difcoverics. (
I: was expe&ed that the above persons would undergo
an examination before the Privy Council this day.
Proofs of a deep and molt dangerous conspiracy to aid
tlie enemy in their attempts at invading this country are
every day becoming more manifeft* Very important clil
coveries have, we underfiand, been made in consequence of
tlie arrest of the persons at Mancheifter, and who are now
under examination at tlie Privy Council. A conficlerable
number of the military in that neighborhood had been sworn
by an Allocation at Manchester, profeffing to have for
their objeifl a parliamentary reform. Tlie purport of the
oath impifed upon the deluded soldiery was, that if Go
vernment perillted in opposing a parliamentary reform,
they would, in case of the landing'of the enemy, revolt
from their officers. This Society at Manchester has been
in constant correlpondence with the United triihmen, and
like wile with tlie Government of-France. Their treafon
abie arts have bcen.praililtd chiefly upon those corps com
posed of Scotch and Iriih. These deluded men will, we trull,
become fenfihle of tlieir crime, and atone for it bv a more
zealous discharge of their duty for the tinvto come. In
tlie lining of the coat of one of the persons seized at Man
chester it is said that a paper has been found fe-ved up, con
taining iaftniClions to th* French how to ad on their land
ing, pointing out the tverkeft part of tlx* coast, and advilmg ,
them of the support winch tliey were likely to meet with.
In the prelent (Inge of this molt iuterelbng butinefs we
deem it improper U> puhliili all tlie circumstances that have
come to our know ledge”. The difeovery lias been provi
dential, arid we doubt not but the cotifequenrcs w’fll lead
to the future lecurityafid tranquillity ot the country,. The
detection, as we have been informed, was made by a soldier
who had been sworn in; he formed one of a party which
was marching from Manchester to Derby. 1 his man had
been intruded by the leading conspirators with 300 guineas
for the purpofe-of extending corruption to the military at
the latter place.
The mart got drunk on his march, and, whether from
remorle of confidence, br in the wuntonnefs of intoxication,
we know not, lie made a confellion of the buliuefs in
which he was engaged, and thus fome ol tlie perlons im
plicated were difeove-ed*
■ A letter from Manchester, dated Tliurlllay last, after
deferibing tlie consternation iiito which the town had been
thrown by the arrests which took place the day before,
fays, “ I understand that at this moment tliey are arreiting
leveral soldiers in the’ barracks.”
A morning paper fays, “We understand Government
fome time ago received certain information that persons
were swearing in at Manchester on the plan ol the United
Iriflimen. This had gone so far that 150 soldiers in 011 c
regiment were fwom in, bclides a great many inhabitants
in that town and neighborhood, and the fyflam was making
a rapid progress. We are not prepared to fay whether
swearing in the soldiers, &(. is tlie offence with which
these persons (the 13 who have been amfted) are acculed;
nor do we think it proper at this time to lay before the
public all the particulars that have reached us. We ftiall
only express our fears that the country is in a very perilous
situation, threatened from without by a desperate and for
midable enemv, and menaced at home by too many (few
. indeed, blit flili too mm,, ) who we fear are disposed to
favor tlieir designs. We have lieajtl of desperate and a
larming projects. Govtinment cannot be too vigilant,
nor can the people be too much alive to their situation at
this moment.”

April 16. Our cruisers have received orders which on an
ordinary occasion would not have been relorted to, to capture
or destroy even the filhing boats of the enemy. Thri rtiea
fure is jultificd by prei’ent circumstances; for, as the French
mean to employ even fiiiall craft in tlie transport service,
• it becomes the duty of Government to employ every means
in their power to destroy tliem.
