The letters by the LifbJrl Mail were delivered out laft night. The exertions employed to get every thing in readinefs for tranfporting the Court to the Brazils appear to have been unremitting, and every circumilance proves how determined the Prince Re. gent is not to fubmit to the demands of France. It was underflood, however, before the packet failed, that an Extraordinary Courier from Paris, with a letter, in NapoLewes hand writing, to the Prince, had arrived there. Lord STaancroan, the Britifh Charge 11W fairer,waited the next morning on the Palace, and it was reported foon after that a compromife was not impracticable. This letter, and the other difpatches from Paris, were und•:r the confideratinn of the Portugrefe Cabinet when the PRINCESS ELIZABETH left the Tagus. The Palace REGENT, it is (laced, a?p eared in great fpirits after the communication fr Ans France. The Portuguefe army had been new tlothed, the expence of which, as well as of every other article furnifhed on account of Government, WAS immediately difcharged by the Treafury. General Juaryr had not reaellzd Litban when the packet failed, but was expeaed in a day or two. The Speke, and another Eaft Indiaman, had ar. rived at Lifbon from Bengal, which place they left on the 18th March laR. At that time every tiling Wdla quiet in India. A packet was about to fail fcr gn g land. Thefe two (hips came to Europe, laden with piece goods, as they could not get indigo, which was very tierce and very dear. The Margaret packet had arrived out. Mr. GAMBIER, the Englifh Conful, had arrived at Lifbon ; he was to have a meeting with the FaCtory the day after the packet failed. The following letters were received by the mail : " LISBON, SEPT. at. " The Veffel f have chartered ftr you has been loaded fince the Bth Inft but is not able to proceed on her voyage, in ennrequence of a general Prefs of Sailors that has taken place for the Navy of the Country, which is fitting out with great aelivity, fuppofed to be for the purpofe of taking the Prince Regent and Royal Family to the aratils, in cafe Bonaparte fhould determine to fend an army into this ccomuy, as has been reported to be his intention, which we b pe sill not be the cafe, as fuck a proteeding would nic.R clearly he againft the intereft of France and in favour of the Bri tifh Nation general Embargo is laid on allVeGas in the Ports of Spain." ANOTHER LETTER—SEPT ? is. " The people continue in the molt alarming Rate of fufpence Never was the fate of a country more feriouily at Rake. The Prince Regent had refolved, Ihotdd Bonaparte put his threat of isvaLon into execution, to embark for the Brazils rather than fisbotit to his demands, and Rut the ports spina Britiflt coin. mere.. Molt of our Rips are getting ready with the greateft ex pedition ever known in this country—the people are at work nigh and day, and do not relax in their exertions on Sundays. " The Government is continually preffing for the army and navy—Brings of preffed men are paffing hourly into the arfenal to embark on board fuch ships as arc ready to drop down to Belirn in a day or two. Many large Brazil veffels are detained for life, in cafe of need; and two !nehmen that arrived fait week, have been ordtsed not to difcharge their cargoes. " Every preparation Is making at Penichia, where the Prince and Royal Family are with the ri oops, and part of the Nobility intend, in cafe of extremities, to quit their country. Five regi ments have already marched there, and have forwarded ifit, yieces of cannon—part of the treafure has an been fent to Penichia.— The embargo on all Portuguefe verfels continues iu France. No bufinefs of any kind is doing here. No credit or faith to any ex tent is obferved between man and man. It is conjedtured, that by there extraordinary exertions, Bonaparte, from motives of po licy, may decline the exatflion of his denfand, feting that England would Ito , bentfited by the migration of the Court to the Brazils, and which otherwife will molt certainly be the cafe. Central Junot had not arrived at Lifbon on the 24th, but an extraordinary courier had brought difpatchu from Paris and a Liter to the Prince Regent, written by the band of Bonaparte. Lord Strangford, on the ftili.tteing morning, had an interview with the Prince ; after which a report was circulated that affairs wore a more pleafant appearance. The fad is, that a Council was foon after fummoned for the purpofe of deliberating on the difpatches, and to decide on a categorical anfsvcr to the demands, but the difeuffions on the tubjeCt had not been divulged at the departure of the packet. " The five regiments of troops are all newly c!oathed, and or dered to he in readinefs at an hour's notice. The Officers com. mantling them It i.l r. ceived orders to join without delay, and fuch as should not make their appearance by a certain time, were to be difmilied the fcrvice, or declared Invalid, and others ap pointed in their Read. " Mr. Gambier, the Conful from England, is arrived; his pre tence has proved highly gratifying to the Merchants who compote the Dritifh Faclory. At the end of a few days he informed feveral of the Merchants that the Portuguefe Government wtiuld be found true in its faith to Great Britain ; but, on the fulled of commerce he was to have a formal interview with the Fadtory on the asth. " 1 he Albi n cutter has arrived in the Tagus, with difpatches from the BritiGh Government, vet ich added to thole fent out by th e w a lfingliani picket, have bad the egc4 of renewing the con fidestes of all claft.s of people" At a late hour lall night government received difpatches of a later date than the accounts by the tlail. They were brought re Falmouth by the Al bbm cuter in eleven days from Lilbori.

CAPTAIN BARCLAY AND WOOD. Newmarket, Monday nsorninZ• 7 sided', Odtober 11 Thistown was never remembered by the (Adel fpot tf• man to be fo full of company of every defcription. Such was the anxiety caufed by the wonderful undertaking of the pedeftrians, that the company poured into the town in a manner that can be only compared to Brentford at an el. Lion, and many who were ufed to better treatment were content to pay handfomely for accommodation in (tables and hay lofts, a guinea having been refufed for a bed. On Sunday afternoon the (Ireet was lined with betters on each event, viz. eight horfe•race:, the foot race, and the battle be tween Gulley and Grgfon. Some thtnifands were loon betted, and great odds in favour of the Captain, although a fortnight (ince Wood was 7to 4 the favourite. Sn eager were the friends of the Captain to lay it in thick, that as high Ads as 5 to 2 were betted on him, and this morning 'ny odda weie offered, but there were no betters; he high odd. having caufed a fufpicinn that there would not be fair p:ay, 6 to 4 was betted that the winner could be named, and this morning to to I was taken that there woul.t be no race. The pedef- Irian& repaired t the feat of affirm, which is a piece of ground filtrated between the turnpike and the town, on the ol•poftte fide of the race courfe, on a flight afcent. I: was r , )lltd and lined for a mile in length, over which both were to perform at the fame time. Eight e'Clocl —The pedellrians have flailed:— Betttog, five to two on Captain Barclay. The Captain is drefred in flannel ; nn legs to his llockings ; and he has been twenty minutes in going the &it two miles. Wood is chafed in a fimilar manner, and has gone the firtt two miles in a quarter of an hour. The battle between Gregfon And Gulley will take place on Wednefday.—Gulley the favourite, five to one. ANOTHER LETTER-DATED 4 P. M. Capt. B. and Wood flatted at 8 o'clock this morn ing they ran till z o'clock in the afternoon, when Wood hid gone 4o miles, and Capt. B. 37 : W. gave it up, and Capt. B. ran the 40 miles and few yards, to decide belts-3 to z , in Barclay. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. The race between Captain BARCLAY and WOOD was decided loon after two o'clock this day, Woun having declined the conic% after having gor.e forty miles in fix hours and twenty minutes. He per formed eight miles in the firlt hour, 14 mile► in the next two hours, when the odds, which were '3 to on the Captain before flatting, were reduced to 7 to 4, and it was the opinion that Wo so would win.— He, however, fell off his pace gradually in the next three hours, and did not even keep pace with his ad. votary in the lafi two hours. He (lopped twice, and pulled off his (hoes, the fecond time, by which he cat his feet ; and, after refigning, he was in a weakly flare. Captain BARCLAY kept a Iteady pace of fix ' miles an hour, without a minute's deviation, and he flopped at 18 and 36 miles and ate heartily. He went 38 miles in fix hours and twenty minutes ; and, after WOOD had refigned, he went the forty miles tt: decide forne bets. '!'here are leveral citcumitances which have induced the betters not to pay, as WOOD went forty miles in five hours, fume mouths ago.— It is not fettled when Gulley and Gregfon fight, but it will certainly take place. Wood is a weaver of Manchefter, near to which town he was born, and for many years has been ac knowledged the firft goer of a long diftance ever known, his performances having by far exceeded what was ever done by the noted Powell. He poi [tires great fymmetry of body, and the molt extraor dinary powers of mufcular exertion ; added to which, 'he has but little flefh, and Rands about five feet eleven inches. His wonderful performances induced fume gentlemen to keep him conflantly in training for matches. He ran a match at York of four miles in twenty minutes and nine fecoods—he was afterwards beat by Brown, a celebrated pedefttiaa, in a two mile heat, which wax not his length, although he did it at the above race, and trifo at York, in Is minutes.- 4t Newmarket, during the prefers; year,a match was Made for him to run agaisft time, 4o miles in five hours, which he performed in a quarter of an hour that} the given time ; he alfe went ;o miles in 2. , I hours ands minutes at Brighton about the fame I time. His backffs will bring him forward to per. form t t miles in an hour, or 20 miles in 2 hours, any bet that may be offered. During his training for this day's race, he went miles, when his trainers Bopped him—although the talk was performed in an incredible Broil time, h e was quite hell], and wilhed to contirue gcing f or another go miles. He is hacked to go too miles in Sateen hours at 2 race. Wood is ag years of a ge : Captain Barclay, who is as well made for fatigu e a; Wuod, has only orce tried his pcdeftrian (kill for a wager, although he is much attached to labour, &a d has frequently bcrne with pleafure the hard (gigo ts of hnfbandry labour on his own eltate ; his murculaz ftrength is fuch that the hardieft peafant cannot col. tinue to work with him. Some time line , : in Yuri. (hire, he went go miles in 1g hours and 4o fecoa c k without having taken much training. The Caput** is 28 years of age, and Rands about are feet nit inches. Captain Barclay has been under the training the noted pugilifis William Ward and fon, Crib am Galley. Captain B's diet is half cooked multol and beef ft :mks, of which he ears about 31b. at a meal, and takes very (bong exercife. ABERDEEN, OCTOBER 7.

In one end of the hall Itood a grand tranfparency, with a figure of Britannia waving a laurel branch, and on the iloet was painted the Lord Lieutenant's Arms, Piffles, and thofe of the Town of Aberdeen.

This Lady has a gond figure, and an int tetetling countenance; her dialogue is neat and appropriate ; her tinging is loch, as to render hers dittingnithed adjunct to the vocal department.
