Ir Happy will England be when fhe became; a monar. chy. We erprefs ourfelves rhos, becadfe this country with a Monarch who has to long been fnbje& to in firmity, fails in her firli Magiltrate. Hillory informs ns, that when the governmrot of a (late has taken its left fiep towards oligarchy, that it is nearell its ruin. What means of fafety remain to England ? Are they to be found in Parliament, which is purchafed and prorogued, and diffolved at will ? Are they to be found in that cloth of Minilters prefided over by Lord Melville, whofe malverfations were denounced to his country and to Europe ? When this oligarchical club ball perceive that it has fatigued the detliny and tried the patience of the people, it will look only to its own dangers, and abandon the fafety of the State to other hands. A Monarch does not feparare thus his interells from thofe of the country—it is with them be will perifh, it is only with them he can be faved." A letter from Lifbon, dated the 6th Oauber, after giving an account of the alarm and confufion created by the departtre of the French Minifter, concludes thus : " Will the Englith take Brazil ? But how will they take it ? By the troops that were chafed from Bue nos Ayres ! The indignation that they have infpired in that colony renders them not dangerous there. — The religion of the inhabitants of the Brazils would alone make them prefer death to the yoke of the Heretics. Will they take Madeira ? A la bonne Beare ! But they mutt furrender it again. " From all that we fee, it mutt be concluded that the Portuguefe Government has no will of its own ; that the Cabinet is divided; and that the ruin of the country mull be the refult—a mifchief to England ! She is the cattle of our misfortunes, as well as thole of Denmark and of Germany. There is not an inch of foil on the Continent, which, by her intriguer, by her Machi•ilian and horrible maxims, has not been drenched in the blood of its inhabitants. Hatred to England is the fentirnent which riles in the breath of the prefent generation ? 'I We receive the news that the French army, commanded by General jonot, is already in the middle of Spain. What, in thefe circumttances, will the Prince of Brazil do ? In proportion as the danger approaches his refolutions vary. His voyage to Brazil is a pleafantry with which they amufe France, as if France could have any thing to fear horn the eltablifhment of an independent power in India ! What has France 101 l by the independence of Ame rica ?" THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER is. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: 3 per Cent. Confola, for money 63.11 —for acc 631/.

There Papers, although they abound with articles of intelligence, and are bloated in every column with fcurrilous and malignant refledions againil this country, afford us no clue by which we may guefs at the future defigns of the Tyrant of Europe ; nay, a (ludious attempt is made to conceal from the world what are the projeds now hatching in the Cabinet of St. Cloud. The rally ing point at which tbefe literary chaMpions coiled their foul and fcandalous abufe, is our fcizure of the Dan:lb Wavy. The article upon this fubje& alone occupies more than five columns of the Moniker. From this rancorous performance we have given the molt pro minent paffages—to tranflate it verbatim would be paying a compliment to the French political writers, at the expenfe cf wounding every feeling which ought to be dear to us as Men and as Britons. The article nowalluded to concludes with a wanton, cruel, and we may fay, an unprovoked allulion to our be- loved SOVEREIGN. It is worthy the pen of an Affaffin, and marks the charader of the Dmmoniac mind from which it flows The unblufbing effrontery with which the French Jontnalifts accufe us of a violation of jultice and hu manity, in our attack upon Copenhagen, is con temptibly ludicrous, when we read in the fame breath the detail of their own aggreflions upon Portugal. Even were it to be allowed that our attack upon Co penhagen was as iniquitous and unjorlifiabie as the French affert it was, chat right has France to com plain?—France, which has robbed every nation over which the could exert her prwer, overthrown their governments, and converted them into vaffal king. doms, fubjed to the will of the French Emperor ! PORTUGAL. We announced yellerdav, that the French had completely fucceeded in their t iews upon Portugal— ptocored the expnlfion of the Brititll from that coon• 7; and that the Portuguefe were now to be ranked Moog the number of our enemiei. Our intelligence is this day completely confirmed. —By the Auckland packet, which has' arrived at Falmouth (in eleven days) from Lifbon, we have received a copy of an Edict ailed by the Patric!' Low', excluding the Brittfh from the ports of Portugal; and declaiinp, without any referve, his hying taken part with NAPILCON, againft this catintry, with an intention to uli, every effort, atcl all the means in his power, to force us to agree to a Maritime peace—in other worth, to compel this court try to fubmit to the demands cf . Fiance. This he ' calls---" the caufe of Europe"— To what a Hate is 1 Europe compelled to fubmit I la the condua of Portugal towards this country, thoogh there has apparently bedlam& meosittiend, aura has been fo much duplicityVidtaS. we santint but afeeibe their zeal, in siding the'dlipart#ietif 'oitr coUntrymen asd.their propertn to feai, rather than a pith to befriesd us. They dreaded a via from our fhips of war, and to prevent their own from falling into our hands, pretended to prepare for the departure of the Court to the Brazil. ! Portugal has now thrown herfelf into the hands of France. Our old Ally is now numbered with our enemies, and in a little time letters of marque and re prifal will be iffued againli the (hips and veffels be. longing to her fubjeets. Such a meafure is imperi• oufly called for from this country, by the following EDICT. 44 It having been my greateft claire to preferve within my dominions the moft pedal neutrality during the prefent war, upon the good account of the acknowledged good dells that refult from it to the fubjeas of this Crown ; but k being impable to preferre it any longer, and reflating, at the fame time, how beneficial a general peace will be to buma. nity, I have judged it proper, to accede to the carafe of the Continent, by uniting myfelf to his Majefly the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and to his Catholic hiajeay, in order to contribute, as far as may be in my power, to the acceleration of a maritime peace : Wherefore I am pleafed to order, that the ports of this Kingdom may be (hut againa the entry of all fhipt of war and merchant veffels be longing to Great Britain: and thus it is to be under. flood.
