LONDON. • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER S. GOINOWDZIL Purn—No India& dooe at the Stock Exchange. At the Privy Council which took place yeilerday, at the (4reen's Houle, his MAJESTY figned the Order of Council for Letters of Maique againft all veffels belonging to Tufcany, Ragufa, Naples, the Seven Viands, and all ports and placer in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, belonging to France or her Allies. A Declararon of War againß Denmark, which was alto determined upon at this Council, will appear in the Gazette on Saturday. V'arions Mails arrived this day ; namely, one from Lisbon, one from Halifax, and one from Jamaica. PORTUGAL. The mailer of a ve Wel which arrived at BMW from Bilboa on Sunday lan, reports, that when he left that port on the t9th ult. no French troops had en. tered Spain at the time of his departure. But it was underitood, that the French force at Bayonne, amounting to 40,000 men, would commence their march on the 25th ultimo. The Captain further Rates that he had ken a letter to a merchant from Madrid, juti befoie he failed, advifing him of the eccipt of a letter from Cadiz, Rating that detach• menu of Span& troops were daily marching from thence towards Portugal. The latter part of the above intelligence is, how ever, very vague. Bayonne is the tendezvous for the invading army, and it is from thence only we can learn any thing precife as to the dates of its move ments ; and we know, by the (übjoined accounts. that on the t Bth of September they had not fet out on their march. Indeed, there are letters in rosin re ceived by the laft convoy, which (late that the Prince Regent has intimated to the Britifh Merchants, that " their perfons and property will be fafe, if they can get away by the 4th of November." According to the former intimation, it will be re eolletied, that the 16th ult. was the day fixed upon for the departure of the Englifh, beyond which it was underfiood, that they could not fafely Ray. The enlargement of the period feems to imply the exill ence of fume negotiation between the Portuguefe Government and the enemy, and encourages a hope, that the kingdom of Portugal ma: be allowed to' retain its independence. The mail which arrived this morning was brought to Falmouth by the fchooner Gatfcombe, of Dart mouth, in 16 days. Difpatches were alfo received by Government, brought by this veffel, from Capt. Macziw cry, of the LIVELY, the Chip left to take care of the Brit& veffels at Lilbon. There difpatches were brought to the Foreign Office Taft night, by Mr. JACKSON, art officer belonging to the LIVELY. The Townfhend packet had arrived at Lifson on the 13th ult. The LIVELY was fill waiting thi; loading of feveral fillips, chiefly Swedes, which had arrived from St. Übe's, and are to come home under her convoy. The Portuguefe Navy was fill fitting out, as if defined for the Brazils. Admiral Q2IIITILIA had arrived in the Tagus from the Mediterranean Ration, with two (hips of the line and two frigates. The difpofable naval force of the Court of Portugal, with this acceffien, is fated at fix (hips of the line, and snore than double that quantity of frigates. The bu9le 11111 viable in the fitting out-of the Pot. i tuguefe (hips, induced many to believe that the Court was bent on emigrating ; but the more prevailing opinion is, that they were only determined not to be furpriaed into rneafures which they could not approve; and that having (hewn good faith to this country, and fecured the fafe removal of the Britith, the defign will be entirely abandoned. _ _ _ By the Mail from Litho° we have received Madrid Gazettes to the 7th ult. They are chiefly filled with extraets from Eng Newfpapers. The following is the only article they prefent refpetling the invafion of Portugal : " BAYONNE, SEPT. 18. gs On the Ich a regiment of light troops arrived here, and on the 15th three regiments of the line, amounting in the whole to 6,800 men. The day f Mowing the General of divifion, Laborde, ordered thefe troops to lot m, when General Junot reviewed them, and made them perform various evolutions. Yenerday arrived 4000 men ; the General in Chief will review them rc,•morrow." • • • • The fuhj••ined letter is from a refpeilable commer , cial houfe at Lifbart • ; LISBON, OCTOBER r 3. 1807. 44 All here is eonfufion and difmay among•the trading interefl. The Britifh Commielore oa the Ilation has ifrued inftruflions to the • Captains of his Fleet, t ,, prohibit all B7itifh veffels from entering : the Tagus, up , n any pretext whatever, nnlefs at the ex. pref. define of the confignees, and of conrfe at their vifk, in cate of any fudden alteration in the minds of the Portnguefe Government, which appears favour. ably difpofed to the ilitifh at prefent, a:though tome what gloomy and fnfpicions. ;• 4, ,:• • • •-I " The Priells hre all in the pay of BQN•PARTI, and a more rafcally let of men.never fed ttpott the bowels of any country . 48 Moll of the Britilh merchants are already genie, and perhaps the rell will follqw in the convoy which is appointed to fail on the 16th. The general, and but too well f undid opinion is, that the ports of Portugal will be finally (hut in a few days, aad every Englithman will be compelled to take his departure. " It feems generally believed that the young Prince of Beira will immediately embark for the Brazils, but whether his father will follow we know not. " The Portuguefe have now !even or eight fail of the line, frigates, titc. completely ready fnr fea —the caufe of this armament remains a profound fa- Bret. The quays and warehoufes exhibit a fad fcene of bunk and confofion ; people hurrying about in all elireEtions, fuperintending the;embarkation of their property and preparing to go on board themfelves. What property we are obliged to leave behind, mug be fold at half its value. The Portuguefe merchants, of courfe, take the advantage of our dilemma, and fight thy in the purchafe of what they know we can- not carry off. " Hitherto the Officers under the Portugnefe Go ! vernment have afforded us every facility for the em . barkation of our property, but there was Come talk at one time of a decree being aired for the feirre of our goods and perfons on a certain day, if not all off by that time. This appears extremely probable, from the great anxiety in the Portuguefe to hurry us off, becaufe they tremble at the thought of a born. bardment, which they know would be the quence of any outrage upon us." WEST INDIES,. By the Jamaica Mail, we have received Papers to the i3th, and letters to the tsth ult. Their contents are not of great importance. The Wets India Seas nal (warm with French privateers, quad out in the. French Weft India Wands, nor are their Sprat neighbcurs idle in tbefe predatory (emulations.
