only the regular men in all the royal navy-
yards arc ordered to work double tides, but
tla.t fresh gangs of carpenters are sent to all
the merchants' yards ; and a great exertion
was making throughout the kingdom, to
equip tor sea every kind of vessel calculated
to carry troops ; and that it was expected
attempts would be made on various and dis-
tinct quarters of France, while the French
had so great an army in Prussia and
Poland ; and so many Prussian priso-
ners in France. The French troops which
had passed the Order up to December 3 2

British army in Egypt, is at the H. Q, of
the Russian army, in Poland, to see that
it amounts to the number stipulated by tiea-
ty.
