fence in 1794-97, a time of anxiety,
214. The contagious effects of the
French Revolution were felt in
England. Plots were formed to
overthrow the Government, and a
French invasion was apprehended,
214. Public meetings were con-
vened, and it was resolved to in-
crease the Volunteer forces, to
form companies near the coast, to
raise troops of Fencible Cavalry;
Infantry companies to consist of
71 men, 60 privates; 20 men to
have firelocks, the rest pikes 8 ft.
long. Resolved to apply for guns,

mouth offered to raise a company;
Teignmouth reported 80 men ;
Sidmouth the same; Barnstaple a
company; and other places the
same, 216. The returns in 1795
showed that two troops of cavalry
and 23 companies of infantry had
been raised and equipped by sub-
scription. In 1796 the French
attempted to land in Ireland, but

Ex-

failed, when they lost four ships
of the line and eight frigates.
Early in 1797 a hostile expedition
appeared off Ilfracombe, but it was
repulsed: the French then landed
in South Wales, but they surren-
dered, and their ships were taken.
