Letters from Gantheaume, commander 
at Breft; La Touche Treviile, at Toulon; 
‘Thevenard, at L’Oriest ; and Villeneuve, 
at Rochefort; have been received, by the 
French minifter of the marine (each begin- 
ning— My Lord”) filled with the moft 
childifh gafconades refpeéting their move 
ments ; which, however, by the fum of 
their own ftatements, amount to no more 
than peeping out of their refpeCtive poris, 
and running in again at the firft fight of an 
Englihh fhip. 
The Moniteur of the 3d inftant, contains 
a ftatement, by which it appears, that the 
extracrdinary expences of France for the 
prefent and the next year will require no 
extraordinary fupplies, nor any new taxes. 
‘The expences of the current year are ftated 
at thirty-five millions fterling ; and thofe 
of the enfuing year computed at the fame. 
But the receipts of the current year exceed 
the expenditure, and the fame is predicted 
of the enfuing year. This paper afcribes 
great merit to its government, for having 
made fuch provifions as will not render it 
necefiary to have recourfe to extraordinary 
Jevies, or extraordinary meafures of 
finance, in the cafe of a continental war. 
The ftory of Coulon, at Warlaw, is faid 
to be an entire fabrication of that man, 
to relieve his own diftrefs. 
ITALY. 
French troops are pouring into the 
Neapolitan fates. Requifitiors for provi- 
fions and cloathing have been made, by 
the French. The King remonftrated 
againft this violation of his fovereignty, 
and the neutrality. The an{fwer he re- 
ceived was, a demand for a large fum in 
money. His Majefty has publifhed a pro- 
clamation, ftating, ‘ that he is compelled 
to impofe on his people an extraordinary 
forced loan, of one millicn of Italian du- 
cats, for the maintenance of the French 
troops, who had entered his kingdom as 
friends.” 
BRITISH EMPIRE. 
A new war rages in India. Holkar, 
who remained neutral, while his old ene- 
my Scindia was fubdued, it is faid, has 
betrayed a difpofition hoftile to the late 
State of Public Affairs in September, 1804.

pacification, and the interefs of the Eng’s 
Jifh. General Wellefley left Bombay, on 
the 17th of May, to preceed to Poosah, 
to lead the army againft Holkar, and 
Colonel Murray, who commands in the 
Guzzerat,- had made fome rapid move- 
ments, by witch he had compelled Hol- 
kar’s new railed forces to retreat in o the 
interior. 
The news of the clorious ation of the 
China fleet with Linois, was received at 
Bombay with great joy. All the Bom. 
bay fhips had arrived fafe. A meeting 
was held, and a Jarge fub{cription made, 
for prefents to Captains Dance, Timmins, 
and the other officers, &c. expreflive of 
the inhabitants’ high opinion of their 
brilliant fervices. 
_ A Daniih hip arrived at Calcutta, fays, 
that fhe left the Cape on the 1ft of Febru. 
ary, when no fhips of war were there. 
Two thoufand men had been detached 
from the Cape to the Mauritius; General 
~Decaen’s government ‘here being unpopu- 
Jar, and the difcontents threatning a revo- 
lution. 
At home, nothing important diftin- 
guifhes the month. Parliament has been 
further prorogued to the 27th of Novem- 
ber, when it is expected to meet. . 
State of the Poll for the Middlefex Ele@ion 
in 1804, as it now fiands on the Sheriffs’ 
Books : 
The following appeared in one of the 
moft refpectable of our morning papers: 
it is curious in itfelf, as ftating the rela- 
tive numbers of the hundreds, &c. and 
plainly fhews that the popular candidate 
had an actual majority on the fheriff’s book.
