LISBON, APRIL t.—General LAMM arrived here on the 26th of lafl month. A carriage of the Court, drawn by eight horfes fuperbly decorated, remained on the quay of the Place of Commerce, waiting for him, from mid-day till ten o'clock at night. Greater honours were paid him than are generally rendered to the diplomatic rank which he holds, he being only Envoy and Minifter Ple nipotentiary. His wife, a fecond Aid-du.Cazop, and the Secretary FiTTE, were with him. He had likevirife carriages of the Court for them. He ordered - the former French Charge d'Af faires to announce to the Fadory, that he would receive them on Sunday the 28th, at eleven in the morning ; but that he would only receive thole who Mould wear the National Cockade, and thefe only fbould have a claim 'to the protthion of the Reprefentative of the Nation. The Duc de Lox smaouaG, who is crazed from the Lift of Emi grants, and whole daughter is married to the Duc de CADA••I., conformed to this order. On the fame day he dined with General Laww FS, the En voy from Holland being of the party. The Prince of Luz t MBOUILG, his fon, in the fervice of Portu gal, but who has been in France thefe two months, Is about to marry the niece and heirefs of the Mi niter TALLIYRAND PRRIOORD. On the 3oth ult. the Envoy and Minifter Pleni potentiary of the French Republic, prefented his Letters of Credence to the Prince Regent. On this occafion the Palace of Caylus was new fur nifhed, and an order was given for all the fidalgat to attend at the prefentation. Never were fuch pains taken to receive, in the moft marked and magnificent manner, any Foreign Ambafador. It was at this moment of ceremony and parade, that by a fatality which can neither be conceived nor explained, the Portuguefe gave to the Englifh a mortification which demands reparation. On the 17th of March, the Englifh frigate the Aaive arrived in three days from Gibraltar.— From the Tower of Bolem, a fignal was made to her to flop her courfe, conformable to an Ordon. nance of Health, which enjoins all (hips coming from the Mediterranean to perform quarantine.— The Commandant of the frigate took the anchor. age which appeared to him the bell and fafeft.— The Sailors of the barges of the Aaive, and of the Conftance, Captain Munoz, attending their refpeaive Captains to a place called the Packet boat Stairs, were ftized by the Guard of the Po lice, without any canfe being afligned, and car ried to one of the fubterraneans of that Guard.— The Commandants of the two frigates,,upon their return not finding their men, went to demand them, when an Officer ordered his men to condua them both to the Main Guard, commanded by a Captain of the Regiment of Lifbon, who imme diately upon their arrival ordered them to be (hut up in one of his apartments, expofed to the infults of the foldiers. As Coon as his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Susssz, Mr. FILPRI, and General Fitassa, were informed of this fcandalous tranfaelion, they flew to the Main Guard, and affurcd thcmfelves by their eyes gl what they could not otherwife have believed.—nhey immediately went to the proper authority to demand their releafe, but notwith ftanding all their zeal and diligence, the two Offi cers remained in an unwholefome place from t t at night till nest day after mid•day. I learn to day that the Portugnefe Government is difpofed to give ample fatisfaninit, but that it equallydemansis it of the Captain of the Adive. General Lawless has brought as a prefent for the Prince Regent, a faperb fet of harnefs, and an elegant robe for the Printers. It is said, that he RUSSIA. P2T22.13020H, MARCH t9.—A remarkable Ukafe has appeared, in which the Judges and Se cretaries, which laft have more influence over the judicial derinons in the Ruffian Courts than elfe where, and ought to be real lawyers, are com manded to give the clofel attention to Juflice, and pecuniary fines are eftablifhed, as well for un jutt judges, as for thofe who inftitute nnjuft fuits. The Judges and the Secretaries mull for each fentence, which is found unjuft by the Superior Court, pay s per cent. on the whole fum compre hended in their fentence. If more Courts than one give the fame unjuft judgment, they are to pay this 5 per cent. in common. He who unjuftly in (limes a fuit or procefs, pays in .he tint Court 5 per cent. in the fecond to, in the third 20 per cent. on the whole fum on which he has unjuilly proceeded. This remarkable Ukafe concludes thus: Befides, if, in the course of time, there be found Judges and Secretaries, who are not amended by repeated penalties for illegal judgments, but tet themfelves fall into the fame fault, they !hall, as perfons neglating their duty, bcfides the pecuniary penalty, be deprived of their places but he who shall be convi#lled of open injuftice and partiality, (hall not only lofe his place, but be alfo fubjeeed to a further Inquiry and penalty, according to the Laws. Our Emperor, whore vigilance nothing efcapes which concerns the welfare of the country, has ob ferved the irregularity which ezifts in the Ruffian weights and meafures, and has therefore refolved to introduce a general llandard of weights and mea- Cures through the whole empire, and to watch over the uniformity of them with the greateft ftridnefs. His Majelly has alto refolved to fuper. fede the Ruffian arfchin, becaufe it contains only twenty-eight Englifh inches. The Court mechanic HYNAM, an Englifhman, has received orders to prepare, with the greatell exaetnefs, the meafures, balances, and weights, which are to ferve as a mo del ; and this important bufinefs could not be in better hands than thofe of this very able artift. MARCH z3.—Two Governments are to be made out of the Government of Little Ruflia, viz. thofe of Tfcheringon and Poltawa, and each to confift of twelve Circles. The Government of White Ituffta is alto to be divided into two, viz. thofe of Mohilow and Mitebfk, and befid esi the eight Circles and cities in Mohilow, the cities out of that State, Starvi, Buckow, Kliinowitfchi, Kopas, and Babinowitfchi are to be restored with their Circles. The Imperial Academy of Sciences has received from his Excellency Princepanssow, a prefent of a colleaion of Ruffian Coins, among which force very rare pieces are loutish which were wanting to the Academy's Cabinet of Coins. Yefterday the ukafe, refpeaing the new Tariff of Culloms, was made known on the exchange here; it will infallibly appear in fix months. According to this future 'Tariff, it is not necerary that the duties fhould be paid in bullion, or rather in dol lars, as heretofore ; but it remains at the option of the merchant to pay in Bank-affignations and dol- Jars. The Cullom-houff accepts the dollar in fpe cie at one ruble 4o kopecs ; but when payment is made in Bank affignations, the dollar is reckoned at two rubles so kopecs. The alteration with re fped to the neceffary payment in filver is very con venient for the merchant, for, befides the inconve nience, the payment in dolla r s was attended with much lofs, on account of their high price. The following is the Imperial ukafe on the rub jet% of the Cenffirelltip :- 44 In the year 1796 it was on account of exter nal circumftances found neceffary to alter the rules which had till that time prevailed with refped to the importation of foreign books and the printing eflablithments in the interior of the country, and of courfe to eftabliffi particular cenfure(hips, to whole aria examination all works introduced from abroad, or printed in the empire, thould be fub mitted, with the prohibition of all the free preffes which had'hitherto exifted. In the mean time, as on the one hand the external cirenmflances, which led the Government to adopt this meafure, no longer exift ; and on the other, an experience of five years has (hewn, that this expedient was alto gether inadequate to the attainment of the end propofed : we have, in confideration thereof, thought fit to free this department from thole re. (trams which from time have become fuperfluous and ufelefs, and to reftore it to its former condi tion." We therefore order, _ it,.. That the importation of foreign books, as it was till the year 1796, be completely rellored on the bats of the Tariff of 1783.-2 d. That for the printing and publication of books in the empire, an order be effabliffied according to the principles contained in the ukafe of the 13th of January 1783, by which it is commanded, "that offices for the prifiting of books than not be dillinguiffied from other manufaaories ; therefore it is permitted to every one to efiablifh fuck, according to his in clination, in all the cities of the Ruffian empire, provided he gives notice of it to the Board of Po lice of the city, where he intends to eftabliffi his printing-office, and there to print books in all lan guages, and only to take care that there be nothing contained in them contrary to the laws of religion and thole of the State, or what may give public fcandal ; for this purpofe the books to be printed be figned by the police; thole which are con trary to this copy, (hall be prohibited, and not only fcandalous books printed without authority (ball be confifcated, but the offenders (ball be pu nailed for their difobedience to the laws." This ordinance we held it necefary to amend thus far, that from henceforth the infpeaion of books to be printed in the free preffes within the empire, (hall not be committed to the Police, but to the Civil Go vernor himfelf, who (hall employ the direaors of the public fchools for that purpofe, and tbat with out the approbation of the latter, and without the permiffion of the Governor, no book (hall be pub. Wiled, on pain of the puniffimenu mentioned in the ukafe of 1783 In the prat: attached to the learned focieties, as the academies, .univerfities, public bodies, and other royal inftitutions, the cen furefitip of the books to be publiffied it committed .. •yr~+~,r•~ themfelvesand their chiefs.--3d. As to what relates to charch.books, and generally books concerning the faith, in the publication of them the rule of the ukafe of the 27th of July 1787 fhall be obferved, by which it is forbidden to pi int in private prelfes church.hooks, or filch as concern the holy fcrip. tures, the faith or the expofition of religion. Such books Iliall be printed at the Synod, or in other preffes under the infocaion of the Synod, or fhall be publithed by die commillion of the public fchools, with our Imperial penniffion and appro. bation.-4th. The cenfurefhips of all kinds, which are eitablithed in the cities and ports, shall, a s being no longer necetrary, be al>olifhed, and thole who ha,ve been appointed to them, as well clergy. men as laymen, than be, the firit fent back to their charges,, and the latter, who have no office, fuita. ble to their abilities, appointed to other employ. meats under the infpe.c.tion of the Senate. The meeting of our Monarch with the KING of linsts, mentioned in fome newfpapers, is as yet nothing but a groundlefs report. The weather has continued here fo mild as is not within the memory of man: we have conflantly a welt and fouth-weft wind,with norms. On Sun day the water in the Neva rofe fo high, that the norm-flag waved on the Admiralty Tower till the evening. The ice gives way much; yet people Rill go over the Neva, but only in fledges; nobody 'mires oyes in the dark with carr;ageg. T t is very probable the ice will, in she courfe of this month, be diffolved. For the fpace of 84 years, that is from 1718, this has been the cafe only thirteen times. The Neva was cleared of ice the sal licit in 1723, to wit, on the sad of March, old ilyle. It there be no more ft-oft, this will happen this year [till more early. SIVEDE4V. COPENHAGEN, MARCH 30.—At the Drawing room, yefterday, Mr. Hitt, the Britifh Charge d'Affaires, lately arrived here, was prefented to their MAJESTIES, by the Pruirian Baron, Story . VON PILSAC H.

An obfervation is made to-day, as being the An. niverfary of the paffage of the Englifh fleet through the Sound, that the wind and weather are the fame as this day twelve-month. The navigation through the Sound is now very brick ; laft week 223 Chips palled through it ; on Saturday the firft Chip under French ,Republican colours paired. In that part of the City, which is called Nebo• derne, where only the Royal Chip carpenters live in houfes built on purpofe for them, mails for ex. ercife with ropes, and rope ladders hanging from them, are ereaed between every two rows of theie dwellings, at the expences of the KING, that the fons of the carpenters may, from their early youth, without danger, exercife themfelves in climbing, and prepare themfelves for their future calling. HOLLAND. Mous, Aram 15.—The Legiflative Body met to-day, in conformity to the 54th article of the Conftitution, when, in purfuance of the soth article of the fame code, twelve members were ap pointed, who are to difcufs the laws which may be propofed during this ordinary fitting.

Attu O.—The Treaty of Peace concluded the 27th of March la% at Amiens, to-day receiv ed the affent of the Legiflative Body in a folemn manner. After the Clerk of the AfTembly had read the propofition of the Government of State, with the Treaty and the Separate Convention be tween the French and this Republic, in the French language, and the Houfe had fanEtioned them, the Prefident made an appropriate fpecch, in which he &etched the confequences to this country of a far ther continuance of the war, and the bleGngs and advantages which would refult from the Peace ; and on the conclufion of it, the loudeft acclama tions fucceeded from the auditors, in which the moll lively joy was expreffed ; when the ceremony was doled by a numerous band of muficians, who had been placed in the hall for that purpofe. Colonel G. A.
