land has obtained a great advantage ; but is it over us, or over her own allies ? Our augult Monarch, in preparing to pnnifh the perjury of the Engin, flat tered himfrlf, that the calamities of war would not be extended to the Continent. He had been Fr ge nerous ! could he have fufpetted perfidy ? He is fo powerful ! could he have imagined that they would dare to defy him? When a coalition, condueed as a confpiracy, comes to interrupt the execution of his projeas, it does not refult that they mull be aban doned. The whole of his forces will not be diceeed againtt England, but will difputc with her the fea, at the fame time that be fubdues the provinces of her allies. Perhaps, even The may prepare for him other triumphs. Has the sot made the flattering menace of employing a part of her troops upon the Conti nent ? In a word, should the chances of a continental war anfwer the hopes we are authorifed to form, from that moment it will be decided that the fortune of England mull bend under the afcendancy of France. If, then, the Britifh Government, for the moment, diminifbes its dangers--if it turn the thunder on its allies—it is only over their blindnefs that it triumphs. How has it happened that Auftria has fo foon forgot ten fo many reveries? How does it happen that (he is In completely ignorant of the difference of the epochs? When the adopted this fyftern of eternal enmity—of fallacious negotiations—of wars inceffantly inter. rupted and rekindled, the regarded time as a pre cious auxiliary. All was changeable in France, ex cept the courage of her armies. Troubles inceffantly flailing up, threatened every day to annihilate the refult of the moil fplendid viaories. Every isftant afforded reafon to fear that all the refources of admi. niftration would be at once defttoyed. Too well ac quainted with our misfortunes, to which they are' no grangers, our enemies confoled themfelves for the lofs of a battle, with the hope of the news of an in. furredion. But what have thofe times in common with the prefent ? Eternal agitations have given place to tranquillity the moil profound ; the fury of change is converted into the fpirit of perfecting. The energy of the nation, which had been abforbed in civil trots Isles, is now entirely turned to ufeful labours. The fentiments of domeftic enjoyments are fo much the more lively, as they have been fo long and grievonfty fufpended. Every day, from one extremity of the Empire to the other, vows are addreffed to Heaven for him who has reftored to the (late her fplendour, and to her citizens repofe and confidence in the fu ture. Our enemies have no more to watch the play of factions, or to hope in norms ; this would be the groffel error of the ftrongeft credulity. If they can not in this point deceive themfelves fo far upon the (late of the empire, they mull know Rill better the armies which have left them immortal remembrances. The boiling courage which diftinguifhed them in the war of independence is not grown cold. Never was ardour more truly great—never was the confidence of the troops in themfelves and in their leaders, car ried farther. Thofe fentiments which produced thofe exploits, thofe prodigies, which Europe cannot for a long time forget, ezift in all their force. Every pro. bability unites to promife us triumphs Rill more bra ' limn, if poflible. Thofe warriors who have acquired the admiration of the world, have never been in flamed by paffions more generous, or influenced by motives more powerful over the hearts of the brave. They go to combat under the eyes of their Monarch; whom they love as their country and their glory; they go to combat under the eyes of him, whom even his enemies have named, the firft Captain of his age. There is another title, Gentlemen, which he has not lets merited, and of which be has (hewn himfelf yet more jealous, itis that of Pacificator. The Conqueror of the Montenotte, of Arcole, and of Rivoli, might have conduaed his army to the capital. He prefer red flopping at Tolentino, to give peace to the Sove reign Pontiff. The General, conftantly victorious, who had fubdued Frioul, Carniole, Carinthia, and Styria, might have been tempted to one march fur ther, of two days, to enter the capital of Ault' ia. He Preferred addreLng to the Archduke Charles the language of peace and philanthropy, which will fecure to him, from age to age, the hidings of pole. shy. From the time he took in his hands the reins of Government, what has been his firft purfuit ? He propofed peace. After having borne refufals—after having furpaffed, in the brilliancy of his victories, the nation's hopes, he (hewed himfelf Rill ready to furs. tiate. Already we have had occafion to remark to you, what patience he manifefted in granting fuccef lively to Auftria the different armiftices which pre ceded the treaty of Luneville ; with what alacrity he caught at the firft words of peace, which cfcaped the Cabinet of St. James's. The arongell proofs might further be adduced, to thew to what eateat the love of peace is invariably implanted in the heart of his Majelty. Since the violation of the Treaty of Amiens, we have many times had to tremble at teeing parricides threaten his life, and we have been com pelled not to doubt but that the Nita Government has encouraged thofe frightful attempts. Has nut the Emperor Rifled his jolt refentment, to linen to the voice of humanity ? Never could his rights have beet claimed with more eloquence and magnanimity, than in that letter to the Icing of England, the read ing of which has filled you with fuch religious tender nefs. The fame fentiments infpired his Majefty in his late relations with Auftria. Ali eady a thoufand cir cumllances combined to betray hoflile intentions ; the Emperor forced himfelf to doubt; he demanded' ex planations frcm the Cabinet of Vienna ; he returned to the charge, to obtain new information; he endeavoured to open their eyes to their true interefts; lie preffed all the neighbouring Rates to join their remonftrances to his. He went fo far as to impale filence nn his pride, to oppofe inftances of reafoning to their injurious al legations ; when the armies of Auftria, invading I3a varia, have annihilated every other refource but that of arms. This heroic moderation has then been fruit lets for peace ; however, it will not be altogether without produce. The Emperor will find his reward in the gratitude of his people. The more the Mo narch has ffiewn his folicitude to (pare it the facrifices required by the war, the more the nation will difplay its zeal and energy to defend the caufe of the throne and of the empire. Thofe who now provoke us, are the fame enemies whom we have already forced to iowledge our independence. They now confpire inft the glory of the Emperor and the fplendour 'ranee. The Emperor and France, more united , ever, by the ties of good will and fidelity—of af. ion and admiration—will oppofe to an odious '-us, the irrefiftible alliance of strength and ge- nine. IThere fentiments, Gentlemen, we participate with all the. French ; it is for us to carry to the throne the affeiting declaration of them. The Com mifffim, of which I have the honour to be the organ, propofes to you to order. that there fball be drawn up an addrefs to his Majefly the Emperor and King, to exprefs the indignation that his faithful fubjedt. have felt at the news of the hofiile proceedings of Auftria and Ruffia ; the gratitude with which they have been penetrated, in learning all that his Ma. kay has done to avoid the facrifices infeparable from a new war ; the difpofitions they feel to multiply the ails of devotion the molt fanguine, to avenge their Prince and their count, y ; to &erten the war by de cifive fuccefs ; and to place the Emperor in a titua. tion to diliate to his enemies a glorious and perma nent peace.

He came from Liffion, and the packet, on its arrival at Falmouth, being put tin der quarantine, orders were given for its releafe that he might come to town. It is fuppofed that be brings the agreement upon which the King of NAPLES con tents to the admiffion of a body of Englith and Ituf fian troops to occupy both Naples and Meßina as a proteCtion againfi the common enemy. Minifters alfo received letters from Sir Jamas Cutts, at Malta, dated the 16th ult. but it is believed not of fn late a date as thofe which they received by the laR Ham. burgh Mail, which Rated that the troops were ready to embark for Naples. By the letters received by the Lifbon mail, it Ap pears, that the difputes at Cadiz between the French and Spanifh tailors, which we mentioned yelkerday, are carried to a very great height. They can hardly ever meet without coming to blows, and hardly a night pan without horrid fcenes of bloodfbed and murder. Thefe mifcbiefs ate betides aggravated by a privation of many necelfaries, owing to the impo. verifbed ftate of the magazines and (tore houfes, in which hardly any thing had been provided to anfwer the neceffary calls of to large a fleet as is now blocked up in that harbour. But thefe evils, great as they are, may be confi dered trifling as to any confequences likely to re- Cult from them compared with the psefent Rate of the Spanifh Capital. We do not find that any letters direaly from Madrid have been received, but all the letters from Lifbon, Come of which come down to the 21ft ult. fpcak of difpatches received there an nouncing the moll dreadful diaurbances in Madrid, and which threaten the moll ferious confequences to , the Government. The decree that we mentioned tome days ago, by which the Papal loner., or Pope's Mlney, was made to circulate as cafb, created fuch a fenfation, as to put a total flop to all bufinefs. It is the praaice of the tradefmen of Madrid to give (tort credits to their cufiomers for every thing they deal in, and they ufed to receive their payments in this paper once a month, which they carried to the Caiffe d'Amortifa tion, and received the amount in dollars ; but after this decree they fell to a difcount. The baker, but cher, and other tradefinen, in confequence of this, not only fcropled them in payment, bat refuted to give credit as before, for their articles. Oar Readers may conceive what would be the effea of foch a flop page. Several of tile principal Grandees and Mer chants determined to go in a body to the Palace of the PII/C I, to reprefent to him the fatal confequences with which the decree was pregnant. They were received in a manner the moa int:tilting and outra. geous. He threatened, and even took Beps to put feveral of the& under arreft ; but, having taken pre cautions againft this event, they fuccefsfully refilled the guard, and made their way into the fireet, where their reprefentations of the treatment they had receiv ed, foon drew a concourfe of people around them, and the clamour became exceffive. The troops were called out, when it was foon found that the fpirit of difeontent had 'fpread through the ranks, and that the foldiers were difpofed to join 'with the citizens. Go vernment then called in the Swifs Guards, a regiment conßantly kept up to abc, men, and they, without the leaß hefitation, fired 'tin the people. We under- Rand that between four and Soo perfons were either killed or wounded, 'and for the time the multitude was difperfed. Four bf the principal Grandees were exiled to their country feats ; but the Fatima of the Ps*ca was fearful of bringing the rioters to any other punifhment, well knowing the formidable charaaer of the people in Madrid and its vicinity. The Litbon mail alto brings the very unpleafing intelligence, that, notwithilanding all that the Em peror BONAPARTE has to do, he feels himfelf arong enough to threaten the unfortunate kingdom of 1'or• tngal. He has made a demand on that Impoverithe& i i Con' "of eight or t 0,000,000 crufadoes , as the price w*i urther indulgence. He well knows that , in thS and, he, in feel, draws upon the merchants of London for the money. The Court has no means of paying this demand, but by the intervention of the merchants of Lilbon, who again mull trefpafs on their Correfpondents here. The Exchange has al ready fallen, in the courfe of one mail, from 14 to so. Lissom, Ss's... so.—By our letters from Cadiz, we are informed of a moll deadly anissofity ing between the French and the Spaniards, which is carried to lengths too chocking for the reflettion of human• nature; a night does not pars without the com. miffion of fume horrid outrage. which always ter minates in the fpilliqg of blood. The origin of there mifundet (landings is kept profoundly fecret, but is Paid to be between the French Admiral Vstxamauva and GR AVI Nl. The 'after has proffered his refigna. lion, which the Spanifh Government has refuted to I accept ; yet no means are taken to (often the exilling L quarrel, or put at end to the nightly broils which take place between the French and Spanifh Tailors, which has of late been extended to the inhabitants of the town, .who are now engaged in the difpute, under a plea that the provilions for the town are kept for the fupport of the French Navy, and that they iu confequence will be flarved. In Madrid, the diforders wear a iliU more dread. fnl appearance ; the inhabitants are in arms, to whom the Swifs Guards have been oppofed and defeated ; upwards of 600 perfons have been killed and wound ed in this conflia ; the caufe is attempted to be kept profoundly fecret : but it has arifen from an edit lately paired under the faniftion of the. Prince of Peace, commanding all perfons to receive in full pay ment, in lieu of money, the deniro vale:, a paper cur rency, which, in the ha war, was at a difcount of 501. per cent. This currency is the moll unpopular in the kingdom of Spain, is always at a difcount, and the people refufe to concur in the terms of the edit, which is the caufe of a difpute, which has at length occafioned this inforreaioa. In confequence of this news, gU intercourfe by way of exchange between Lifbon and Madrid is at a Rand ; and all bufinefs between the two places ceafes for the prefent. cOPY OF 1110THS1 VETTE; RECIIIII? IT THII Loan NOBERT PACEET, DATED Lissom, SEPT. 19.-4 E is very currently reported here, that BONAPARTE has made another demand an the Government of this country, which it is feared muft be complied with, rather than endanger the terms of our prefent neutrality. Eight millions of crufados is raid to be the extent of his demand, which in Reding money is 800,0001. Whether this will ultimately turn out true or falfe,, I have the mortific a tion to inform you thut our M ms (the paper money of f'nflogal) is at this time at a difconnt of so per cent. which extraordinary de preffion is occafioned by the above report; for al though the Owe: are generally at a difcotmt, it has not of late bean greater than ten per cent. It is very currently repqrted in the military circles that not any, or but a (mall number of Britilh troops will leave England for the Continent this year ; but that next fpring ‘ if a good underitanding be not re. (cored among the great Pcwersof Europe before that time, an army, the largeit and molt formidable ever fent from this country, will be feat to cooperate with the allies. This force will, it is Paid, con6ft of the greater part of our whole regular force ; and, it is expeaed, if holtilities are carried on next fummer, that events of as great magnitude as any that Eu• rope ha; witneffed for a long feries of years, 'will refult from the wide extended arraugements that are now in preparation. No new intelligence was received yeßerday, con cerning the Negotiations and Military movements on the Continent. We underfland, however, that the queßion of the future occupancy of Hanover by Pruf- San forces, or by the forces the allies, Britills, Ruffian, or Swediffi, is now molt eagerly and fa , citoufly agitated in the Cabinets of Berlin, and of the Powers of the Alliance. Government has lot had accounts of any ikirmiffi or anion fought between the Außrians and the French ; fo that all the rumours propogated for the UR two days arc void of foundation. Government have received difpatches from Malts, dated the 16th of Augug. At that time the troops were all in the •higheit health.
