We with not to alarm nur deleneelefs countrymen upon the frontiers, by harrowing up their feelings with the difaaers of an Indian war, but were we to fay we anticipated no danger, we fhould belie our own judgment.

The For cutter of Portfmooth, which left the Tagus on the 15th infant, has alfo arrived• The Walfiugham is reported to have brought as • that a Ruffian huadron of liven Juli of :he line and two frigates had arrived in the Tagus before the failed.—The Fix brings intelligence that feven fail of the Portaguf:lb of the line and fru , 4.. d a fchooner were ready for fea. The rtualb,:r of vdrels is theft two Statements being the fame, induces a belief that there is f,:me miflake in one of them, and that the fame Chips arc intended by both. But though there may be fume inaccuracy, the general fubflance is core .f , )r on the Leh i .ri...zirt two fail of Rulan men of war entered use Tagus from Gi braltar ; and on the nth three rail mere, and four frigates. It is therefore plain that tht Ruffian fleet wh7ch was lately at Gbraltar is now at Oporto. Under all the circiimftances, what fhluld be inferred from the Ruffian fleet entering the Tagus at the iirefent im• portant Crifia ? Does ALEXANDER co-operate with Narov...ow in his virtuous defigns againa the Houfe of Braganza ?—or arc we to confider the appearance of the Ruffian fleet in the Tagus as a matter of mere accident, and no way conneeled with the execution of the threats denounced againft the Court of Lifbon ? To us the vi is of the Ruffian fleet, to that quarter, appears to have been premeditated and to call for vigilance on the part of this country. That Portugal was doomed to pats under the yoke. to yield and deliver her fats, her fleets, and her independence, to the Leviathan of the Continent, has for Come time been manifefi. But it was hoped, vainly hoped 1 that the Royal Family would be Inf. feted to still by that tenure, which is yet allowed to the nominal Kings of Bavaria, r f Saxony, of Wit. temberg, and of Pt uflia.-,,But every Rep, the 'rpm!: takes. be fii,lcs deeper into barbarity. It i, now natural to expel that he will extend this fyftem of banifhing the ancient ruling Powers, and that the Kings of ns ble race remaining in his vaffal States mull give way to the creatures of his hand. We find ace-Adingly that the former every day meet with Dew aft( of infult and aggreffi They will be driven at !aft to refi:nr, or to remonatate, and this will be the fignal of their overthrow. &is st NA.

We fhall infrance cite of thofc indignities praflife on the ancient lioufes . . A few weeks agl, a Frenc f.:ifaron officer appeared on the page at Noningibufg, 'n all the gewgaw enfignt of his 'M'a,er'r , li•r;e9, with' a difplay of the badge of the Legion of Hosiour, and other ornaments. He was univerfallyv sifted; bet three Pilllrian officers, whole bravery and loyally have been proved in the late Oar: save been fingledi out by the tyrant's fpies, as the leaders of the facri• legious all The King of Pruffia has yielded fo far as to imprifun them. TMs is tinfatisfattory ; the Tyrant demands their blood. The King has refilled ; hut permits him to feize them, and give a new reprefentation of the tra. gedy of the Duke d'Enottisa. It remains to be leen whether the poor degraded King wilt have his choice of murdering thofenoble-minded Officers, or of abdi eating his throne. However this may be, we pro• phefy that his reign will be as fhott as that of the Grand Seignior. SPAIN. By the Walfingham Packet we have received Ma drid Gazettes to the ch inttant, five days later than the date of the decree of the King of Spain, which we yefierday laid before our Readers ;—and yet, fingtilar as it may appear, they do not contain a copy of the decree, any proelamation, or indeed any infor mation ;dative to that event, though they prefent fcveral Alts cf Government. How is this to be ac counted for ? It appears firange to us—but fo does the whole affair, and we mutt wait for farther in. formation. It h rather extraordinary, that no mention what ever is made, in the lalt French Papers, cf the affair which gave rift to the Spanifh Proclamation. The former were dated on the I 4th inff. the latter is dated the 3oth ult. It is hardly poffible that In important an event fhould have been unknown at Paris, after fuch an interval, more particularly, as it could hare been communicated in fix or (even days. A Portognefe Mefrenger came over in the Wal. (inghorn, and thc difpatches he has brought are un derflood to be of great importance.

We have received American (Norfolk) Papers to the t ith ult. private letters to the teth, and Halifax papers to 29th. The Norfolk paper of the Loth Elates, that Captain STMOWG, arrived there from Martinique, was boarded off that ifland by the Britifh frigate LaTorre, the Captain of which informed him, that orders had been receivedfor capturing all neutralstrading from French, Spann, or Danifh Ifttnds to Bridal Iftands. It is alfo Rated that Captain Thurso, of the (hip Wil liam and Mary, from Grenada, had given informa tion that he was boarded off the harbour of St. Tho• mas's, on the zzd of September, by a Britifh brig, and apprifed that the Danilb lOands were blockaded. Pofitive orders are (bated to have been Med to the military Officers of the United State* not to can any Britifh deferters. Generals Aare's-sumo and Wikarntridrad been fent to afcertain the difpuktion of the Indians, and had reported that they had not any hoftile intentions. The Captain who brought the Norfolk Papers left that port on the 14th ult. He Rates that the trial of Commodore BAIL RON had terminated before his departure, and that the relish was, the cenfure and cafhiering of that officer. This lenience, the Captain adds, was quire popular, as the general opi nion was, that the Commodore had not made an adequate refinance to the attack of the Leopard. 'the lament which prevailed at Norfolk, in crn• fequence of the ; - .'tack or the Chefapeak, has, it Teems, almotb totally fulafided, and the popular feeling with regard to this country, appears to be quite pacific. Intelligence was yellerday received that feveral American {hips, which were about to enter the Texel, were iloppcd by our blockading fquadron and re ceived the warning which the late Orders of Coun cil prefaibe. confequence of which warning', the Americans dire/led their caulk for England; but it is laid, that left they fhould nit — follow that courfs, and come into an English port, a frigate was feat to look after them. The realon now alliped for the detention of al% American (hips at Cheilynirg, is, that two frigatit were fitting out there, and taking in , troops for4he EAtt Indies.

A General Officer, of recent high and dillingui(?ted fetvices, is underilood to hate been defigned tor, and to have been effete* the cornin:ind of the land forces to be employed in the conjunet (we believe greatly important) military and naval expedition now pre paring from this country and from Ireland ; but he is faid to have requelled to be nettled from the pi o• poled duty, on the unfortunate ground of fome re trofpedive official differences with the gallant officer who is to command the divifion of naval force, during their late refpalive fa vices in Sicily and Calabtia. Sir &MOIL FinOrh in the CENTAIVE, with General BEIikSFOLD and bite, had dropped down for St. Helen's, and was to fail for Plymouth lag night. Sir Heste PurMAM has gone to Portfmouth, and it is laid that this able and galla,it officer is to be employed with the fecond expedition now about to Ilan from that port. It is now pretty well underftood, and it may he Rated with fafety, that the ctetination of Sir 3e re tr Hoop is the Nand of Madeira. The objeet of Ad miral Keers is, if polLble, to refcue the Royal Fa. ntily and the Navy of Portugal.

CRFLI I'S OF DKCEASED SOLDIERS. We underhand that the Secretary at.

From delays of rffice, and iidormalities in the mode of application at the War Office, for the amount of the credits, or from ignorance of the pro. per 'place of application, many of the relations of deceafed folders are, on that ac:ount, left withont their jolt claims ; in confequence of which, the dif ferent lams of money rerr.2.il.::lg unclaimed at the War Office have nozr accnrau Wed to a moil enormous amount, we are told, n..t much lefs than too,oool.

BOMBARDMENT OF Coes suacsu.—That the con• trivance of the fire Rocket:, which were found fo ufeful in the attack on Copenhagen, is due to the genius of one individual only, we were never difpofed to difpute ; it has been publicly aliened, and, we be lieve, generally all Owed. We were, however, not a little furprifed to obferve fomething like a priority, announced by one of our contemporaries, which Rates, that the fiat idea of adding ihefe new means of dettruetion, originated with' a proleffional Gentle. man, a Chemia, of Weltmintler. We have made easeful enquiries upon this fubjeel ; and, if our information be corresl, it appears, that certain plans prefented, above flur years'ago, by Mr. Hume, of Long Acre, are fufficiently analogous to point out the fource, from-whence the profenic ar• row: orAre rocliti took their exitience.
