The Raven gun-brig, from the fame port, has alto reached Plymouth, fo that there have been no lefs than four arrivals from I.ilbon within thefe two days. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, the late Englith Agent at the Pon Office at Liffion, is arrived in the Walfingham packet ; and it is faid, that he took with him from Lifhon a bag of letters, which have been brought in that vella ; but the Walfingham was not allowed to ente: the Tagus, and the has brought back the Mails of the 27th and 29th ult. which fhe toil out. Be tide* Mr. CHASID SLAIN, there are fevered other paf fengers, who are arrived at Falmouth in the Wal. fingham, viz. Mcffrs. You►c, Assort, Hay.ars, Scurr.vertnix a, BUIALMORE i DOWNING, MILLS, TIiSRY, Mrs. TERRY, and two children. The latea date of the letters delivered from the Pon Office yenerday, are of the Bth inn. (the Wal fingham packet failed on the 12th.) By there it does not appear, that any French troops had then paged the frontiers of Portugal. The Prince Regent, Royal Family, and Court, remained in the fame hate of conflernation as when our lall accounts came away. A fleet continued to be ready to convey them to the Brazils, and it was believed by many, that the determined hostility avowed by NA PO LEGS, would induce the Court of Lifoon actually to car: y that projea into execution. Don LOREN ZO DE LIMA, the late Portuguefe Am. baffador at Paris, had arrived f'om thence at Lifhon. Immediately on his return, an order was iffued to prevent the depa' cure of the remainder of the Britilll fubjea , , or the removal of any more property which might belong to them. The Engliflt had aio been directed to proceed to the offices of Police, where piper perfons had been r, evieuily appointed to make a regillry of their names, places of abode, and their property. Such part of their property as confined of at tidies of pi( ‘Th ,, ns had been lequenered, and carefully depotiteu in the Gm:et:anent t epots, tor the pu►pofe (as was inppoled) of viduallit,g :lie fleets. This act we.!filiiiwcd by another, which had mote the appeara:,ce ci . y. A merchant (hip, called the Diana, tp.und fur England, will) 8o paffetigers, was fired upon, brought to, and detained, on her attempting to get out of the 'Pawls. This condoo Items to maiden a hope, on the part of the Prince Regent, that he might yet fucceed in pacifying the French Emperor, And prevent the ne ceffity of emigrating with the Court. Time will thew hoar vain is his hope. Provifions of ever y kind were very fcarce, but vet . - fels laden with cargoes of fifh, &c. &c. were forbid to enter. According to appearances the Pottuguefe, as we hAve. hated alvive, were preparing for hoftilit;es againa this country, at the time the PRINCESi ELIZABETH failed. Tilde, however, were not the only fyrnptoms of bonny. They were fortifying their batteries in the Itrongeft manner they could : thefe, with block4hips fiatiuned in the Tagus, and an army of moo° men then affembled at Lifboa, were avowedly to he employed again 4 us, thould we attempt any thing in that quarter. It is partible, however, that the conduit of the PRINCE REGENT might have been dictated by confide rations of temporary prudence—no Britifh force being there to yield protettion to the Cows in any meafure which, under other circumtlances, it.might have been difpofed to adopt. Should this be the cafe, the Prince has probably, before this time, been put more in the situation of a free agent. We :whole to ruentien the &flirtation of Sir Stoxinr S tit fr II while there was the I Icaß poffibility of its publicity proving injurious to the public fervice. We can now !late, with forge degree of certainty, that his deflination was the l'a• gus, where he has probably arrived before this time. Indeed, fome accounts flare, that intelligence has been received of his ailual arrival there ; but this, we fear, a millake, founded on ths arrival of the Ruffian thin as we ye(erday Rated. Lord STR ANGFORD and Mr. GAMBLER, the Britith Conful, continued at Lifbon fo late as the 15th inft. —They were, it is Paid, to have come home in the RAVEN, but being driven from off Lifbonl Bar in a gale, file bore away for Oporto, and from thence failed for England. In the preceding column we have given feveral fhort extrafts from private letters received from Lifuon. T !icy wear generally but one complexion. SPAIN. The private letters from Lifbon mention the arri val there. on the t ith intl. of accounts from Spain, Rating that the infamous plot again(} the Prince of ASTURIAS had not fucceeded to the extent intended by its bale and unprincipled projeaors. The Procla mation of the King of Spain, which we yeflerday inferted, notwitlifianding the doubts entertained by many of its authenticity, was really genuine ; and its publication appears to have been very fhortly fucceeded by an infurreaion at Madrid. In confequence of this alarming event to the prevailing 1 1 influence at the Court, a Counter Proclamation was iffued, in which it was declared, that on due inquiry it had been found, that the Pt ince of Mho ias had had no perfonal concern in the plot ; and this declaration appears to have produced the defired effea, of canting the popular ferment to lublicie. His Royal Highnefs was in high favour with the people ; but their Op port, we fear, will ultimately ptove of little avail. The French army, which, according to former ac counts, bad • arrived at Salamanca, bad taken the route to Madrid, and was Ihortly expeaed to reach that city. Betides this force, the Spann army which was lately'at Badajos, were alto in full march for the Spanilh capital; fo that the public opinion st ill (hardy be let at defiance, as well in Spain as in every other country curled with the domination of the Ccrfican, and the devoted Prince of Aflurias will, we fear, prcve to have received a fhort relpite only, of his unmerited fate. It was finally fettled tin We lneftlay ha, at the C'uncil at the Q . Leen's lioufe, that Parliament is to meet for the difpatch i f butincfs • n Thuifday the of January.

COUNTY MONAGHAN FLACTlON.—Wednefday fe'n night, purfuant to a notice from the High Sheriff of tie County, there wa, a meeting of the Freeholders of the county of Monaghan, held at the Court Houle in Nlonaglian, for the purpufe ofelcEling a Knight of the (hire a one nt their Rept efentatives in ;he Impe rial Patlianienr, in the room of the late Itictt AR]) DAWSON, of Dawlen's Grave, Ere'. when THOMAS Citaat.ts STUART CORRY, of Fantield, in that county, was, after a few of tilt; etholders had pllled, declared duly eleEted. A fplendid entertainment having been prepared, the Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the C: unty, were entertained in the ra lumptuous manner by the new Reprefentative. Several men are now employed for the purpole of ereCting a complete harbour at the call flex et the Hill of liowth, which, whe wi.l afford a fafc harbour for the Holyhead Mails, and will be attended with a contideritble degree of conviwience to the public in general, as the Mails fiom•Dublin can be ditpatelied at one Oven hour throughout the year, independent of the time of high water ; the voyage will he thsrtened ten miles to the paffenger, and crofTn - ig Dublin Bar, and the North Bull be wholly avoided. The expence of this public under ' taking is defrayed by the Inirmial Parliament, by a vote, of which 12001. have been already granted for that purpol. Et.; Pr H; sr.—Sunday a young lady eloped f r om i her father's bottle in Chariot , e-ltr: et, Bedford feinat e, with a domeitic in the fainily. Intelligence being , received of their rout:, they were inn - rued by fume of the lady's friends, who fin prized t h em at t h e H oop Inn, Cambridge ; but neither tears nor entreaties, ! promiles nor intimidations, could prevail on her to i return, as fhe obainately perfitied in her attachment to her enamorato at all hazards. Her furtune is 40:-.1. a year, independent of her father. 1. A young Lady from the neighbourhood of Canter. i bury, who had able coded from her relatives, and came to town in quell of her lover, was fortunately elifci.vered on Tnefday lilt, in obfcare lodgings in the Haymarket, by her father. The fair fugitive had difgnifed herfelf in a failor's drefs, and was on the eve ti letting out for Portfinouth by the coach. A Morning Paper having mentioned a report of the indifpufition of the Lail of DUNDONALD, and , that thctc would loon be another election for Well , minaer, his L•ndthip has written the following good humoured letter to the Editor Leudon, Nov. 2 4 , zgo7. - - .

A dillinguifbed and popular Officer, lately employed, has been of fered the chief command. Yellerday Sit SAMUEL Hoots, with General Bs ttsroan and his Staff, were (till lying at St. Helen's, as was alto the army for the Cape of Good Hope, under the CROCODILE, Captain CADOGAS, which has been obliged to put back. The z9th Regiment of Foot have received orders to march from Brabourn Lees to Portfmouth, in two divifions: the fira will march to-morrow, and the fecond on Monday.—lt is fuppofed this fine regiment will form part of the expedition now fitting out. The ad battalion of the line, the King's German i Legion, which diferobarked at Portfmouth on Wed nefday, and marched thence, was quickly ordered back, and embarked again yeflerday. All the other battalions of the Legion, on their march for Suffer, have, it is faid, received orders to halt, and are ex petted to return direftly to Portfmouth, for the purple of re•embarkation. The three companies of the ad light battalion of the King's German Legion, which have been all the fommer at Ramfga'e, marched this day from Pet worth to join the remainder of the regiment Bill on board fhip. It is much feared that the ophthalmia has got into the tft Light battalion ot the King's German Legions at leaf fo fayt report ; and one (hip, faid to contain it, is to undergo quarantine. It is pretty generally anderannd in the military circles, that the ss l-:ole of she German Legion will Ihorily pt ocecd to Ireland, fn. uld the recent events in Portugal sot render it neceffary to difpatch a force to the Ilra7ils. The Rerifiewfhire Yeomanry, commanded by Colonel Mete, of Caldwell, matched into Glafgow on Thurfday fet,night, to drill for ten days. They are a T.:mud:4sly flout looking body of men, and very well appointed. Monday fe'nnight there was a numerous meeting of Magi(lrates at Clonmel, when it wab determined to call an Extraordinary Seflion of the Peace, on the a4th roll. to c.naler the date of the country, under the terms of ;he Inlurredion A4t. Yerlerday being moving day, the prifoners corn trit:cd lince the lalt Se(lions were moved fritm the H , ufe of Cortation, the New Prifon, and Toth;lL fields BiLlewell, to Newgate. The number removed does not amount to more than 3s, which added to thole already committed to Newgate in the Galt inii.ince, amounts to about 60, who will take their, trials at the Se!lions which commence at the Old Bailey on Wednefday next. Wednefday fennight, about eight o'clock, P. M. Colonel TALBOT'S gate lodge, at Nialahide, was en. tired by four villains well armed with blunderbuffes and piftois, who robbed Colonel TALBOT'S bailiff, an old foldier, near eighty years of age, of 401. and afterwards inhumanly difcharged a pato' at the poor old man, which drove a Plug into hisbody, andother wife wounded him fo much that his lite is defpaired of. Wednefday night an uninhabited houfe, in Loth bury, fell down, and nearly brought with it the one adjoining, occupied by Mr. LAMM, bruihmaker. Fortunately no p:rfon was palling at the time. Yetlerday a bricklayer's labourer fell from a real . - fold erceidd againit the houfe repairing at the corner of New Bi idge-iireer, and was killed on the fpot. FIRE.-At three o'clock yeflerday morning a fire broke out at the 11: , ufe of Mr. Smollett, callendercr in Dobbs's Row, Paddingt , n New Rnad, occafioned by a beam which communicated with the chimney taking fire. A woman with an infant at her Ismail, who dept in the fecond floor, on awaking, found her bed in flames ; lrefor:: fhe could effectually exert herfelf, the was materially injured, and t...: child fo much boon:, that its life is detpaited of. By the exertions of the L•dgers, however, the damage was principally confined to that floor. BOXING —A tir,vel kind of a pugiliflie exhibition took t lace yette rday in the Hampilead Fields, between coachman, of the name of Burke, and George Will fon, a m room, for what is technically and elegantly t rmed love. ltt confequence of a difpute between the partie s , Burke, a nom, athletic man, (truck Win ton, a man much lets in fize, and the latter agreed to fight him, if he would content to have one of his hands bound round his body, to make the match equal. This was done, and a (harp conflict of forty minutes followed, when the one handed man received a complete beating. Willfon proved a good fecond rate brinier, and apparently able to beat his adverfary even handed • for Burke, although a glutton, is a novice at fig hting. Mr. LattactLor, a Veterinary Surgeon, who fought a duel with a Lieutenant on Twickenham Common, three weeks fince, and who was !fated to have been wounded in the Moulder, died on Friday tail at Bufhby, near Guildford. A mortification of the wound was the caufe of his death. His antagonift left this country a day or two after the duel had taken place.

They contain feveral long articles refpeer ng a charge again the Editor of a N e wfp a p er , ca ll ed the "Aurora," of having improperly publifhed cer tain • difpatches addreffed to the Britifh which he had furteptitioufly obtained. The United States Gazette of the 23d, gives the fol. lowing extra& from theAnrora refpe.ting this fubjeet. The Editor of the Aurora has commenced a format defence of the letter-Healing affair which came to light a few days ago. The firong point of his defence is, that it was a meafure of retaliation for the inter ception and publication of Admiral Willaumefs patches to the French Ambaffador. We fobjoin his words, that we may not be accufed of mifreprefent• ling his meaning : N We cannot pals the (*eel over, without calling to the re• eolledtion of the public. a damning proof of the bah, dc; , revitl• of the Britifh adhcrehts and tories. " It is but a few months ago, that in a Fcderal Paper at Nor folk, there were pnblifbcd varloosildteri and pape• i f.44l to be the contents of a difpatch addrefted to the French Ambatlidor rd d, • at Walhington " When the dlfpatches addretTed to the French Ambs'ls :or were intercepted, they were not foto ;r led to the Ambaif,,ne— they were not forwarded to the Executive of the United • totes, the only legitimate channel of communication of public concerns between Citizens of the United States and Foreign Ministers—the tint intimation of their exigence was their publication in a Newfpaper. " The difpatches to the Minifter of thin ftiendly paver were flopped ! " Not alone flopped, but the American Governmeet was treated with ft udied infult, by the publication of choir papers openly avow ed t o be intercepted." The United States Gazette then proceeds to oh. ferve, that the difpatches to the French Minifler, alluded to in the above, were intercepted on the high feas by a Britifh Officer, and were therefore p ond prize, but that he (the Editor of the Aurora) in having obtained pan (Eon of the Britifh difpatches, broken the teals, and publifiled their contents, could not plead any Inch privilege ; that if he was a liege fuhje& of Bonaparte, he might intercept Britifh ters on the high feas, but not in the tirects of Phi. ladel phia. Th e Rutland (Vermont) Herald gives the follow. ing extra& of a letter from Canada : " The French militia have been turned out, and the third brigade on Tuefday Jail. The Commander called on thole he chofe—they being embodied, he called for every fifth man to ttep fix paces out from the main body. His rail was not obeyed in the lea. Some laid they would not Rep out without the reit ; and fume made bold to fay, they would not take up arms againtt the Americans, but would join them when they chore. Forty, who laid they would join the Americans, were committed for mutiny, and will have their trial to.morrow." BY THE PRESWENT OF THE UNITED STATES Of AMERICA. A PROM AMATION.
