Pavris, ((in France) June 30 -The. name of the clerk of the war office, who carried on 2 correfpon-’ _dence with our enemies, is Liebaut : his treachery bas been difcovered by means of a certain general . plan, lately printed in London, {hewing all the towns and places on the coafts of this kingdom, f.om’ Dun- kirk to Bayonne, that are Jeaft fortified,-and where defcent might befuccefsfully made. One of theKing’s minifters having found means to procure a Copy of the faid plan, laid it befere his Majelty’s council of ftate, and they immediately faid that fach a wadik . was extant among the archieves of the war office ; yet it was not to be found there ; and the Sieur _Licbaut having lately abfconded, and put in his room one of his brothers, who was Aid de.Camp to the Count de Maillebpis, the latter was taken up and fent to the Baftile, where feveral other perfous are allo confined, on 2 charge of having purloined from . the faid office many papers of the greateftimportance. [ This piece of mews is 2aken from the Hagre Gazette ; and if it be true in all points, we cannot belp remarking, Vghat the plan in quefiion ought not to. have been made publickbere. On this occafion the Amfierdarm Gazette, in an article from Paris, makes the following lamentation : < The_fword of our enemies is, perbaps, Jofs fatal to us than their gold. They bave Jpies and fecret agents every abere : our armies,’tis [aid, [warm awith them, and Gad only knows what number of traitars onr coun- try bas the unbappine(s to barboar in ber bofom.” g & BN e i C Es July 18.

Lord George Sackville and the Earl of Ancrim are to command' the forces to go on the expedition from the Ifle of Wight, ; Friday morning, by order of Commodore Howe, an experiment was tried it Porflmouth oo one of the flac- bottomed boats, to fee hofi; many horfes one of them could hold : aceordingly “one of them was brought to the Point, and a kind of ftage pat againft the bow of the boat for the horfes to walk in, and 12 horfes got into t%e faid boat : then they put off, and the Effiex’s barge row’d her off igto the harbour, to fee how the boat would {wim : &nd, to the fatisfa&tion of feveral fpeftators then prefent, the boat contained them extremely well, and could have held two mere if required. ; From Lipftadt we have a confirmation of the news of a plot hatched at Munfter agaip® the Hanoverian garriforsthere, with thele further particulars. It was agreed that each burgher fhouid cut the throags of the foldiers quartered upon him ; but happily the confpiracy was difcovered and timely prévented by an ecclefiaftic. - The two authors of the canfpiracy have abfconded, and feven of shéir accomglices are confined in the citadel.

We hear from the army of the Empire, that Ge- neral Altheim having formed a plan for an expedition againft Saxony, the Prince of Stolberg, who was charged with the execution of it, advanced as far as Jonfdorff with a detachment of picked men ; but having mified the right-rgad, ¢hig’ the fault of his gUide, he was obiigkd to réurd 8 fhe chitip at Saats with great precipitation, for fear of being overtaken by the Pruflians.
