We may now, without appre
hension of detriment to the ser.
vice, announce rt formidable expe'
dition which is preparing as n di
veriio#tn favor of Austria ; and
which, from its extent, cannot '
fail of drawing off fiom the Arch- 1
duke, a material part of the Frent h
army opposed to him. The point
of landings is properly concealed ;
and as it is impossible in this
country totally to suppress all tu
mor ol armaments, the publicity
of our institutions is properly
made the source of disguise.— j
It ia no longer a secret, that Go.

discoveries he made, Anuwerp
and its shippng were pm imo a
state of more perfect defence, and
the object was apparently abun
cloned. What the point now is
we presume not to conjecture, and
if we knew, we arc certain that our
readers would not expect Uli t© be
trav it. But never, surclv was a
moment when the mrtc bruit of
annoyance could he expected to

that general Souchet had no idea
