To the above we add as many other particulars as we have been able to colic& relative to this molt important event. Lord STRANGTORD, whore conchs& throughout the whale of this important and delicate bufinefs is enti tled to the higheß ;smite, went on board Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S flag fhip on the 18th of November, and re• mained with him till the 28th. In the night between the zBth and 29th he went on thole and returned to Li(bon. On arriving at the houfe of the Britifh Agent, M. SITAR°, he learned that the Court had been on board the Principe de Real, a Portuguefe fbip of the line, fince the 24th. He repaired on board the Comm:act, then attending upon him in the Tagus, without lots of time, and, after having a conference of tome hours with the Prince Regent, the whole fleet paired the bar, and dropped down the river on the 3oth. The people beheld the departure of their Sove. reign with the uttnoß apathy and indifference. The family contras of only fourteen, not fifteen pet fens, as Rated in the Gazette. Nor is it true, that the French had reached Lifbon at the moment the fleet fet fail ; on the contrary, they were only at Mafia, which is about twenty miles difiant from the capital, on the sth inßant. When the Court was preparing to embat k, the Qyzan's Confeffor was miffing, and Lord STR •N G FORD fent his bodes to Mafra, to fetch him. The fleet remained four days off the mouth of the Tagus, In company with bit SIONEY Blames fqua. drop. Lord STRAW OVOID, in the courfe of this time, was every day with the Prince , and, on the sth inn. the Portuguefe fleet, confining altogether of upwards of forty fail, fet out on their voyage to the Brazils, accompanied by the Bridal (hips of war mentioned in the Extraordinary Gazette. - The day on which the fleet left Lifbnn was re. mar kably fine, and the fpeetacle of courfe was grand and affefling. It afterwards encountered a among gale of wind, and (Whined Come damage, whist' thirty &kith feamcn were fent an board each Gip to AR in repairing. Lord STILANGTOILD accompanied the fleet till it, had reached near to the WeSera Vies, and had a very quick pant home. He was only eleven days in coming from the Tagus. _ On the 28th nit. the Nivea Racial. Mired a Proclamation, the (Ned of which was to reconcile the people to his departure, which, however, does not Teem to have encountered oppofition in any guar ter. We have not fern a copy of this proclamation, but we have been told that it announces the refolu lion of the Prince to transfer the feat of Government to America, and to convert Portugal into a colony, of which the Marquis d'Asearcra is appointed Vice roy. He likewife mentions his intention of returning to Portugal himfalf, after having eflablithed his fon in the Brazils, and even of touching at Madeira, to try if it were Rill poflible, by means of negociation, to accommodate matters with France. This may have been a precaution adopted with a view to re concile the people to his departure. A remarkable enough circumßance is, that the gy . sam, whole mental ailments are well known, ez. perienced a very great improvement in her Rate of health, after having been a few days at lea. There are about four thoufand troops of the line on board the fleet, which tranfports in all from 16 to 18,000 of the fobjeBs of Portugal from lilirope to America. All the (hips are crowded, and on board the Principe de Real, where art the Royal Family, there are no lets than 412 perfons, befides the crew. Few of the Nobility have accompanied their Sove reign. Among the noble Emigrants are the Miniiler of Marine, M. d'Acmitor, and the venerable Gene. ral FORIFS, at the age of 75, who has been at the head of the Portuguefe army frr many years.— Maio, the Prime Minifter, is a prifoner on board the fleet, under charges of high treafon. General Noma, 'rho had been difmiffed from the chief command of the police guard of Lilbon, in con. fequence of French intrigue, was reaorei to favour before the departure of the Family, but as far as we can learn is not in the lift of emigrants, nor have any of the Police Guard embarked. All the treafure, church plate and valuables have Jeers carried away. Lord STRANGFORD, it is raid, will be rent out as his MAJESTY'S Reprefentative to the %tuft of the Brazils. The fate of the Honfe of Braganza, while it calls loudly on this country to prepare for the moll ardu• ous and eventful tonflid in which B 1 itain has ever been engaged, ought to bind us in the clofelt ties with the new State thus to be fet up in the %Velem hemi fphere. Our charatter is as much pledged in its defence as if it were a colony of our own planting, while the high honour and tried fidelity of the Pa I N I, who, in circumftances of fo much difficulty, has magnani 'moufly adhered to his engagements with this country, juflly entitle him to all the refpeet and deference due to the mofl independent Sovereign and the moll faithful Ally.
