The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

A letter from the Hague, July 7, says, "Whatever may be the event of our present struggles, France, which has proved herself the friend and faithful ally of the Republican party, continues to demonstrate the same generosity, the same intentions, equally worthy of her power and wisdom, in preparing openly, and with the tacit consent of other states, such a force as may prevent the effusion of blood. The fleet preparing at Brest, would be alarming intelligence, if the design was not the most humane. Sixteen ships, two of which are of 110 guns, two of 80, and the rest of 74, will be ready for the sea within a few days. The names of these ships are, the Royal Louis, and Majesteux, of 110; Deux Freres, and L'Esprit, of 80: Le Neptune, Northumberland, Magnanime, Temeraire, Scipion, Victorie, Achilles, Argonaute, Hercule, Illustre, Brave, and Superbe, of 74 guns. Twenty eight ships more of the line are ordered to be ready in case they should be wanted. At Toulon, a fleet of six ships is preparing; and at Rochefort three ships are ordered to be got ready. These preparations have for their object, to restore liberty to the Republics."

Accounts from France speak very positively of hostile preparations there, and that twenty-nine ships of the line, and thirteen frigates, are fitting out with all possible dispatch.
