The Latvia: frigate was in the harbour of Litlion, when a fevere gale of wind prevailed, and by its violence the was driven about fo much that Not got foul of a Portugnefe Eaft Indianan, called the &Irmo. The people of the latter, it is men tioned, were extremely irritating to the crew of the frigate, reviling them for not keeping their vettel to a birth in tech a good fituation. The Portugoefe likewite added injuries to intuits, and threw pieces of wood, hand-fpikes, &c. on board the frigate, and wounded two men dangeroufly. The fentinels on board the frigate then fired at thole who were moll forward in this affair, and killed a man. The reft lied below. Such i► the account our people give.— The Portuguefe, of courfe, tell a very different tale. The matter had caufed a good deal of noife at Li(bon. Various letters confirm the above liatement, and add, that three men were killed, betides the mate of the Portognete 'raki, whole petulance was the prin. cipal caufs of the diUurbance. The Portuguefc made load complaints of the condu& of the LAPWINO, but ' the Officers of the latter were fupported by Lord R. .

At Flufhing, the inhabitants begin to think more ferionfly than ever, that the expedition againft Eng. land is Rena,. on the point of taking place.

The Hand of Waleheren is, as it were, covered with troops, And where the Filter Googol. is daily expelled. General Moan syshas of late daily received and difpatched Couriers from and to Paris and the Hague. The Commanjant of the Artillery, General La MAIM is arrived, and the troops are partially embarked, so men of each Company, to accullom them to a lea faring life ; and this mode of embarkation is eaten ded to the whole corps by turns. In the fcveral barons at Fluthing there are no lets than goo vcfTels, deftined to take on board from 12 to 15,000 men. It is thought that the van will be in a condition to fail in a few days. The number of troops which the FIRST CONSUL has to infped on the Coatis. amounts to no I lefs than soo,ooo men, all deflined for embarkation. Gen. Moamar, Commander in Chief of the Army in Zealand, is indefatigable in hallening the prepara tions, in'confequence of repeated and pofitive orders received from his Government to-that end. If any doubt exifled as to the failing of the expe dition, it would be done away by the confideration, that the Ports and B#fons on the Coats are all fo crowded with veffels, that•there is no room left for thofe which are yet to arrive. before a part of the grand armament is committed to the ocean and to fate. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 4. The merchants of this city have opened a fubfcrip tion, the produce of which is intended to relieve the poor, whom the Ragnation of trade has left without work. They are allowed to go and warns thensfelves in a place which has been opened for that purport, where a great fire is kept. The crank of cannon, mufkets, and piftols through our Republic is prohi bited. The old tariff of cultism duties is continued for the next year. We learn that the Englilh have detached feveral reffels of the fquadron which block ades the Teed, t* reinforce the Channel Fleet.

They acknowledge, that if they Ihould be fo unfortunate as to fall in at fea with our Britifh tars, they mull inevitably be ruined. Their only hope is that they may get over unperceived, and they enter tain no doubt, tbould they make good their landing, that they can conquer the country. The IMMORTAL LITIL failed this morning.

By private letters from Lirann, we are informed of another inftance of the unexampled, audacious, and infulting condo& of General L the French Minifier at that Court. The cireirmliance is as fol lows :—He lately told the Prince of Brafil, that the Portuguefe Minifter at Paris was very difagreeable to the Cosier Consul.. who defired that he might be immediately recalled. This information. or rather command, very much furprixed the Prince, who had never before received the fmalkß complaint againfl that Miniller. However. he immediately direeted M.

I can hardly give you an adequate idea of our me lancholy fituation here, which feems daily toget worfe. Notwithlianding upwards of 40,000 people have left the city. the mortality OM Inereafes, and now amounts to 140 daily. About yooo have already died of the diforder. and about t2OO ate now tick of it—a great majority of thole who are feised die. and it generally proves full in three days. The nfual fymptoms are, a violent pain in the head and loins, an uncommon lownefs of fpirits. and the greateft debility, accompanied with ficknefs, thirft, and great heat, and on the third clay black livid (pots commonly appear, and the patient expires in a few hours afterwards with a general mortification over the whole body, which is obliged to be buried immediately after death. Almoft all the attendants and nurfes of the tick have fallen viftims to it, and many whole families have been entirely cut off. It has now got into feveral of the nunneries and convents. where it makes great havoc. The faculty have as yet been very on fuccefsful in their mode of treating the difeafe. which appears more nearly to rcfemble the plague than the yellow fever, and a treat variety of opinion prevails refpefting its origin. The Dutch !loop of war lying here has loft the Captain and the greater part of its crew from the diforder, and many vefkls are lying here with the whole of their crews dead. It has Do t fpread into the country above two leagues from Ma. lags, to one or two of the villages, where Come have caught the infeftion from %it'll ing this ?lam but very few have died out of the city.

The Third Regiment of Royal Lincoln hfilttia, commanded by the Earl of Bucaimoneee sego, am arrived at Hall. A paragraph having been copied. into this paper, left week, Rating, that Major Da LatiCT, when tak ing a furvey of the coati of Holdernefa, a few days 'ago, had been vireo up by the peafantr,y at Xilnfea, and carried to Pair ington ; we have.authority to fay. that the report is entirely devoid of truth. The different companies of the Loyal Southwark Corps met yelierday at various times and places, tp_ hear the determination of Government rerpeeting thff appointment of officers t 3 that Corps. When the letter of Mr. Secretary YORK was read to each, and all-i the letter of the Deputy-Lieutenant of the County to the Commandant, which accompanied it, and his letter to the Captains of Companies. Some of there bodies viewed the fotatleoce of there letters in a very different light front others. The Light In fantry was particularly ftrenuotts in the affertion of what they conceived to he their right. When they were told that fuch as would not mftantly agree to the contents of the letters Ihould fall out of the riaki, all the Company but four Repped forward. After they had began to furrender arms, *c. they were prevailed on by their Captain, to whom they are mnR Ilrongly attached by ties of perfonal efteem far beyond thofe of duty, to refurne their military order. and, if they fhnuld think fit afterwards, they m ight furrender their arms to the proper Officer. The Company addreffed the Lieutenant-Colonel and this Major who happened to appear in coloured clothes. Rating that, if it was found to be the cuftom of other Volunteer Corps to Live their Officers non* nated fur them, they would readily accede to the fame praßite ; if other Co7ps who had eaercifed that privilege were willing to give up their right in that particular, they would Alto comply with the Curren. der of their rights ti. far. But they thought that it would not be hAndfome in them to be batty in lay. ing a precedent tathich might be reckoned bad by whets, and which might hereafter influence the con duit of 370,0tri0 men. They thought the letters too extennee u.i be anfwered in a few 11111 l ntes; and with ed to },.se an oppott , mity of considering them more at leiftire. The company was then ordered to be furpended until fume future determination of the Twain's. Each man went individually to the Cap tain's houfe. and ladged their arms there, it being their determination not to &thand if poffible, but to hold themfelvea in readinefi to anfwee any call which the cousitry might base upon them for ks proteCtion.
