Reports rays, 44 The Duke of PORTLAND refuted to reign, unlefs the falary of the Prefident of the Council, the Office to which he has been appoint ed, fhould be railed from aBOOl, to 60001." For our parts we think the report mull be falfe. We cannot believe that any part of the condua of fo exalted a charaaer, can be influenced by interefied motives! This would be paying himfelf amply for the extra price he has paid for loaves. in con fequence of the alarming millake he fell into about a year ago, when we were informed, that before the prefent period fhould arrive, even with all the aids that importation could afford, we fhould not be able to procure a loaf to eat for any money , . I If, however, it &mid turn out that his Grace ;dually higgled for the increafed falary, we fhall Rill hope that felf-intereft was the fartheft thought from his mind, and that the furplus will be • employed in endeavouring to allevi ate tome of the diftreffes of his fellow-creatures, occafioned by alarming falfehoods about fcarcity, with which our ears have for many months been Runned ; while with our eyes we have teen the Bore-houtes of every defeription fo full, that there is not a fufficiency of room to allow imported grain -to be landed Captain Nags, of bis Majefty's Hoop Fat eon, arrived at the Adnitalty this morning, with &patches from the Mediterranean. They are re ported to be of a favourable nature, but their con • tents have not tranfpired. We yeaerday Bated the return of Admiral NI 1.- sow to the Downs. His Lordfhip had been to Flailing, but thund the enemy in fuch a Date of preparation that it was not thought advifable to venture an attack with the force he hall with him. By the attempts already made upon the arma ment in the French harbours, and the impedi ments attending other expeditions, it will appear how difficult it is to make an impre&on upon the *Rs of the enemy . ; and the French people will doubtlefs be convinced, that °hie& which. cannot be achieved with all our maritime fuperiority, are utterly defperate and irnpoffible when oppofed by it. The fudden and extraordinarily rife of the French funds, announced in the laft Paris papers, is Rated by private letters to have been in confequence,of • a declaration made by the Fissr Comsur., that the money to be received from Portugal, as the price of Peace, would be employed in paying arrears of dividends. This morning we received Paris Journals of the asth and 26th init. by which we learn that Admi ral Waimea has taken a French frigate and three of her convoy. The following are camas from the Papers received : Palls, Auourr i as.—The Emperor ALixla. Dill I. has been highly fatisfied with the miffion of General firma moroirsx at Paris, and, as a proof • of it, has given him the grand order of St. Alex ander Newiky ; by way of particular favour he re ceived alfo the decoration of it fet with diamonds; all the officers who accompanied him have been promoted to advantageous places, the greater part •of them at Court. Prince DoLowtowar let out For Paris on the Bth of Anglin, on a fpecial miffion. M. MaaKOW, the new Ambafrador to Paris, let out on the 29th of July : his arrival is loon expeeed. Prince CONSTANTINII, Colonel of a beautiful regiment of Cuirafliers, has done Chef de Brigade D nine the particular honour of caufing his regi• meat to manceuvre before him. The efteem which this young and excellent Prince entertains for the French nation and army is returned by the French troops: every foldicr remembers the humanity and kindr.els which he alwtys manifefied towards the wounded and the prifoners. This is the diftin guitbing Icatiire in the charairter of great minds— brave and terrible in combat, they are mild and humane in vietory.—iffenirevr. A Ligurian veal, fitted out both for trade and as a privateer, had an engagement on the 28th of July, of fix hcar, with a privateer from Mahon, in the neighbourhood of Civita-Vecchia, and forced her to retreat, after killing feveral of her men, and doing confiderable damage to her rigging. • Two Englifls.Rags of trace, the Hope and the Two Friends, Captains Psalms and Pa,oa, land ed A Cherbourg, on the 18th inft. 209 prifoners, ill attacked by difeafes confidered as incurable,one of theli unfortunate men died on the patfage ; they were asmoft all people of colour.

On the tuft alarm of this attack,more than rsoo troops marched from Breit and the camp of St. Renan, and at feven in the morning had advanced more than half way, when the Commandant of the dif tria fent to inform them that the enemy had been repulfed, and that it was not neceffary for them to continue their march." A letter from Munger, dated Auguft 17, Rates, that as loon as the death of the EleCtor of Cologne was announced, the Chapter proceeded to the elec tion of a Prince Bifhop. The meeting was held with an appearance of fecrecy, yet it is believed that Prince ANTHONY, the Emperor's brother, has been unanimously eleEted. A Courier was im mediately difpatched to Vienna to announce this intelligence to that Court. AUGUST z6.—Letters from Portugal received yeflerday, announce that peace has been concluded between France and Portugal ; that it was retard ed on account of the convoy expedted from the In dies which has at length arrived, and that the Eng lifh feem to have flopped Tome American Seals. BOULOGNE, AUGUST 31.—The enemy have at , prefent off this place only two fhips of 64 guns, and five or fix fmall veffels, feveral of which lag night effeCted a landing at Cucq, fix leagues dif tant from this place, where they burnt about boo tons of pitch and tar belonging to private indiv i• duals. 'Thefe articles formed part of the cargo of an American ship wrecked on the coaft, and had been fold two days before. There were then only a few labourers in the neighbourhood, who fled on the approach of the enemy, and on a few bombs being thrown. This day a detachment of troops has been fent thither. In regard to the means taken to give the enemy a good reception in cafe they again appear in this neighbourhood, they are great, and dire bed in fuch a manner as will make them repent of their rafhnefs, if they should be fo imprudent as to attack us. NAPLES, Atzottrr t.—We learn from Otranto that an Eaglifh privateer, of 18 guns, has entered that port, where she. has been delivered up to the French by the crew, in consequence of tome dif pute which they had with the Captain refpeeing the aivifion of prise-money. The tailors had put the Captain under an• arreft. Gattoa, Avc. 17.—According to letters from Tufcany, the KING of SARDINIA finding the party of thole who with for a reform in the Governinent, and for political changes, daily increases, in order to extirpate that party, has refolved to reftore the Jefuits as very proper to keep the people in tub jeCtion. ,For this purpofe, tome feudatories and canons of Cagliari, calling themfelves reprefenta tires of the Sardinian Nation, have requefted from the Pors the re-eftablifhment of the • Jefuits. Pais VII. kindly contented, and by a bull has au thorifed the Jefuits now in Sardinia to unite them felves into a- society as before, and to eftablifh themfelvesin the Colleges of•Cagliari and Saffari. Thus, while the KING of S►AIM is expelling from his territories there ambitious Monks, attempts are made to renore them in other places., HAGUE, AUGUST iB.—A great number of heavy artillery, from the Arfenal of Delft, paffed through this place for different parts of the coall molt threatened by the enemy.. Rorr stoats, A tiousr 19.—The gun-boats and other armed 'rads deftined to defend the mouth of the Meufe, and particularly the ifle of Goree and the harbork of Helvoetflnys, are now sta tioned in thole Pl c ces molt favourable for repulf ing the enemy in cafe of attack. French and Batavian troops are continually arriving at that part of the coafts of Holland, where they will oc cupy feveral fmall camps, which are already traced out. The fquadron of Admiral GRAVES confifts of from fifteen to twenty (hips of war of all floes, and according to the latell intelligence, is to re ceive reinforcements. On the other hand Admi ral de WiNrsa, Commander in Chief of the Dutch fleet, has been informed that numerous armaments are preparing at Margate, Harwich, and Yar mouth, which teems to announce that they are deftined for tome of the ports of the Batavian re public. The fame meafures of precaution, how. ever, bare been adopted at the mouths of the Zuy der-Zee,as well as . as at the entrance of the Texel.
