POHLMEN, a German ; the reft are dancers and fingers for the Opera Houk. Excepting an Englifh lady, ncne were allowed to land : they remain on board till pafl'ports be fent down. By this veffel feveral letters have been received in town. French Papers, it is laid, have likewif: been received by her ; and alfo Dutch—tlse latter to the 33d intl. but we have not feen any of them. The following are extraas from two of the letters: ', ROTTERDAM, NOV-18. " The French Emperor is fo much irritated againft Portugal, for allowing the I nglifh and their property to efcape before the arrival of his troops, that he has given orders to detain all Porto guefe v.:ffc Is, and to imprifon their crews. His Majefty has alfo commanded, that all Portuguefe property throughout France [hall be fequeltratcd—that fuch perions as have any property of that nation in their poffeffion, gull immediately give it up, and he has accompanied this command, by a menace, that any petlon who than be found to make an unfaithful return of fuch property. (hall be imprikined in iror.s for feven years. This intelligence we have eve- Peed from the French poll, and whether our Government is to follow the example it affords we are yet to learn, but there is every reafon to think i! probable. " All colonial produce has eonillerably rifen in price—the na tural confequence of the recent prohibition of foreign fupply, C ff:c which is the principle article of demand, and which you Mate may be. ha) in Frgla,l under 31. per cwt. is here fold at above ral. The enhancement of fugar, is nut quite in proportion, as our fuppiy on hand is much larger." Another.ler:er fAys— s We underil ,n 1 hrre that Bonaparte hat ordered the !marl fonment of ail Purtu.vle to be found in Frarce, and that they Shall be dvtai-t.rl as hoft:ges for the eondua of thrlr Government " Can ail thing be conceived more iniquiv)us than fuch a pr.,ceeding ?—Not only to feiie the property, but to detain men. as hollages for the conduit of a Government over which they have no controul or influence ! The Favourite cutter has alto arrived at Yarmouth, from the Baltic, and has brought over Mr. R UFF, King's Mcfrengcr, with difpatches from St. Feted*. burgh. Difpatches have been received frxn Admiral Ptla• yrs, of a very recent date. They Qate, that the Cadiz fleet, confiding of t t fail of the line, were ;quipped, and ready for fea. They were in the outer hat blur, with fpringz on their cables. Admiral Posy is, with nine fail of the line, was clofely watch• ing them, and fuch was his indefatigable attention, that he only allowed hinifelf two hcors reQ at a time. —We fincerely hope the enemy may be induced to venture out : if they Mould, we predift with c..nfi dence I:,e addition of another fplet..!id page to the bti a ht annals Britillt glory. SPAIN. It was reported ye(lerday alternoon that TALLfY. Rama and BERTHIEK had arrived at Madrid; and that a column of French troops had alto entered that city. Letters from Madrid of the sth inftant were faid to have hated the faft, but we have net been able to learn that any perfon has aftualiy feen the letters alluded to. Our Readers already know that it was Rated at Bilboa on the t4th infant, that a French army had entered Portugal ; but that re p or t e..ntained no allufion to TA LLEYKAND or Belt- THIER. it there men be really at Madrid, it mull be inferred that the objeft of the revolution in that city is complete, and that they are gone there to orga. nize a new fyllem of Government. _ _ The Spann Confpiraey remains (till as myllerious as ever. The account of an inforreetiin laid to have taken place at MadriJ, and repeated in a letter from Lisbon, is not credited by the principal Spani(h boufes in the City. The general opinion among the moll intelligent ;:raniarcis in London is that (Le re. cent confpiracy at Madrid was not formed againft the life of the Kitsc, !)::t againft that of the Paisca of the Placa. This opinion kerns countenanced by fame of the late Lifbon letters, and it certainly de rives a %nit probability, from the known rpulaiity of the KING among the Nobles, and all olalfes of the people, prove the nriiveifal odium that attaches to the charafter of the PRINCE of the FFACE, in conk. qtrience of his art ogance, his ir:jii!tice, his profligacy, but particularly his notorious devotion to Bose, PARTE. Of this nopoptilariv 6e PRINCE Of the Ps ACs el (Ili not be ignorant. .74 iny of his enemies, who were of great rank in the Rate, were open and avowed. Their fent;cnent 5 were undifguifed that to him was owing the calamity and degradation of t h e country, and that if he ceafed to reign the confe (pence of Spain 'nigh: yet be teamed. The Nista of t h e P EACE wa s foliy aware of this. It is foppofecl that he had log; kruwn of the progref: of a confpi. racy againft him, but that be bad .:.strived to pet . made the KING that it was ?evelled at his perfon, in order thus to render the defiralion of hi s own enc• snits mote complete, and to involve in that deatuc tion the Prince of ASTURIAS, the great oval of his' confequence, the great obfiacle to his ambition. Such are the obfervations of thole who are well ac quainted with the charader of the King of SPAIN and the Prince of the PRAM and certainly their obferva tions teem reafonable; for how can it be fufpeded that Spaniards would confpire to let afide a weak man of known good intentions, rather than point their rage at a wicked man, who had made him an.inarnmentfor the accomplifhment of objeds univerfally odious to his country. The dearudion of the King would not, we apprehend, have led to the immediate fucceflion of the Prince of Asruatas, and the ellabl;fhment of 4 new fyltern of admini&ration, if the Panne of the PEACE bad futvived, and the confpirators mull be aware of that. This man has not to long adhered to BONAPAR rE without looking for his reward, and the nature LA that reward is univerfally fufpeded in Spain. But let which will be the moil probable opinion, the effe6ts are likely to prove equally fatal in their con fegtiences v., the reigning family. A well-known native of Ireland, whofe name we do n It think it proper to mention at prefent, who a few years ago made a dillinguifhed figure in our falhionable circles, particularly thofe chiefly occupied in play, and who was among the prifoner• at Verdun, cont'ived to obtain leave to vifit Paris, where he has rendered himfelf fo acceptable to the French Govern ment, that it is faid he has aaually been fent upon a feeler million to Vienna. It is confidently rumoured that it is the intention of BONAPARTE to eolith as many of the LA together as he can, who are fpread over different parts of the Continent, in order to atria in his long meditated attack on Ireland ; and it is fufpeeled that the above mentioned perfon has been fent to Vienna to promote this defign. particularly as there are two or three other Irifirmen in that Ca pital who are not unlikely to embark in any defperate cnterprize. We mentioned yetterday that Parliament was pro. rogued to the silt of Jarmary, then to meet for the difpatch of Winds. The Gazette of this evening will contain the Proclamation to that effee. The Merchants were yefierday given to under. (land, that an Order of Council has been figned in refpar to the trade to Pcrtugal, which will fhortly appear in the Gazette ; and that the Chips and pro perty detained, belonging to the fubjeels of Pottugal, are cot.,:itionally to be reflored. Another Order of Council is alfo Elated to have been figned, by which the veffels of certain States will on certain conditions, be permitted to enter the ports of the United iiitigd Int, laden wiih the produce of the foil or the cuuntries to which they refpedively belong. The Committee cf Merchants trading to America, were yefterday convened at the City of London T a . vern, by a requifition, figned by a few Merchant:, and addrefTed to Mr. SANsoM, the Chairman.

The quertion was put, and nega:ived ; cnly one f' litary hand being held up for it. Yeflerday Mr. Woon, Conful from the State of Maryland, had an audience of Mr. CANNING, at the Foreign Office. Sir JOHN WARREN took leave of the Admiralty yeflerday, previous to his departure for Halifax. Mr. ROWR, Mr. FREWEN, and two or three other Genilemen,conneeted with the bulinefs of the Cu (toms and Excife, had audiences yellerday of the CHANCEL • UHL of the ExcuEozraa, at his official houfe in Downing•fireet. The Direllors of Greenwich Hofpital have ityin COD temptation to increafe the.number of in•penfioners. to the prefent cflabliihment.

The pt incipal Members of the late Adminiftration, who are in town, dined with Lard HOLLAND on Thurfdap. Campbell, the Spy, who was lately bya telegraphic communication ordered to be arrelled by Govern ment, but who efeaped to fea in a (mall veffel from Merazion, in Cornwall, has fortunately been difap pointed in his at'empt to reach the lhores of France. The veffel has been driven hack by the late heavy gales, and Mr. Campbell is feenred.

She, however, was not heard t•f f-r two days ; and it was at length alcer tained, that the was found drowned in a pond at Somers Town. An inquititinn was taken on the body, but there was no evidence to prove how the came in the p-nd.--Nerdldt—F;:und Drowned. LEWES, NOP'hMBER 23. Saturday the fi►ft divifion of the soth Regiment, which landed at Deal on Wednefday, marched into this town. At the bombardment of Copenhagen, this regiment had one officer and two men killed, and S rank and file wounded (one of whom has fince died of his wounds), and nine were drowned on their pairage home. On their march hither they 'kicked up a great number of volunteers from the Eaft and Weft Kent militia. Before any of the troops could be landed at Co penhagen, Captain WILLOUGHBY, of the Toth Regi ment, took the defperate tefolution of leaping over board, and was drowned ere Alliance could be had. On the fame night John Wilton, Sitter of the boat ilationed at Pevenfey, and the boat's crew, feized, on the beach of Pevenfey Bay, 300 calks of geaeva, five bags of tea, three bags of tobacco, a box of chocolate, and a large lugfail boat ; all of which were fdely delivered to the care of the Colleaor of the Cußoms at Eat} Bourne.--The boat is about 70 tons burthen.

Upwards of Bco men of the 23d regiment and German Legion were marched into Chichefler on Wednefday ; and billets for coon men were drawn for Thurfday. From the immenfe number of troops lately billeted on Chichefler, the innkeepers were obliged to repre tent the impcflibility of finding quarters. The Mayor immediately opened the Guildhall for the re ception of the troops. The foldiers, much to their credit, although crowded together, and expofed to great inconveniences, expreled no difcontent, but vied with each other in fubmitting to their hardtbips and privations with cheerfulnefs. During the high.wind on Friday fe'nnight, part of the parapet wail on the top of one of the Martello towers on Sandgate plain was blown off, and the roof of Folkßone church fußained Tome injury.

COVENT GARDIsN.— Ore play of laft night was Jane Shore, the melanch,dy heroine of which was Mrs. SIDD9NI, and Mils . SMITH the Ada. The former was conrplztely berfelf throughout the part the fuflained ; while in all that was bell, the latter was lealt like herfelf. As, however, the two charac ters admit of a widely different difplay of pailion, Mifs SMITH obtained much and delayed applaufe for her exertions, but Rill the appeared to a great difad vantage, both in regard to perfon and voice. Her youth, however, was rather in her favour as the impetuous reprefentative of the frantic Alicia.— CHAR Las KEPABLi. is an improving allor • his deline ation of Lord Haling: was a fpirited reprefentation of Rows's amorous Patriot.
