Paris (the capital city in France,) September 12. While the
English were getting ready their formidable armament at
Portsmouth, we took measures on our coasts to disappoint
them . . .----The Palmier and Warwick are returned into the
harbour; new batteries defend the places that appear most
accessible: They have likewise bomb-ketches and fire-ships
ready for service as occasion may require: . . . and all
things are so disposed, that at the first tolling of the
bell, every one may speedily, and without the least
confusion, repair to his post.
