PORTUGAL. LISBON, JULY :. The conditions of the Peace are not Imown.— They fay that they are difadvantageous to the Englith, and difgraceful to the Portuguefe, but it is well known that Portugal is net in a Rate to carry en war. There is a report that hoßilities will re commence. Several pieces of artillery and a great deal of ammunition have been taken from the ar terials. The Government have fent feveral mules which have been taken from private perfons, for the purpofe of ferving in the artillery. Neverthe lefs the Army Rill remains encamped near Abran tes. and the Auxiliary Artillery remains in boats, not having been yet difembarked. On the Both of laft month M. d'Aaiwjo ar rived, from the EaR, lie brings no other news, but that the Plenipotentiary Powers remaining at Ba dajoz, he was not enabled to treat. If upon this oc cafion the French pats the limits of moderation to wards this Country, they will prove to the world that though they are great Conquerors, yet they are not Ikilful Politicians, becaufe, if their objeft is only conqueft, they will obtain poffeffion nomi nally, but they can derive no fubilantial advan tage from it. If they (hut the Ports againft the Englith it will be produßive of no advantage to the French, and will completely mi t a Portugal. But their partifans fay, it is the only pie:woof making it a Province of Spain, and perhaps, will afford an opportunity of taking Gibraltar. In the mean time, the Korn and gyszi, of Spain are at Bada joz, force fay on account of the Marriage of the young PRINCESS, others, becaufe the people of Madrid are glad of the arrival of the French, and teem more difpofed to cry Long Sty she,Repuific, than Long Ave the King. It is moR probable, that they will neither leave Spain nor Portugal in the condition they found then). The plan upon which they aR is, that of proteeing, firtt covertly, and then openly, the deßruftion of every fyftem which differs from their own. lam obliged to clofe my Letter as the Packet-boat is on the point of failing. •• JULY B.—The Packet-boat which was to have failed louse days ago, has been delayed till this day. It will carry to your Government the news brought by M.Piiiro but the Public do not know it. Ills Secretary, M. Stantirro, arrived from Badajos on the 6th, at four o'clock in the after noon, and immediately fet our for Qtselvas; he re turned again in the night, but nothing has .yet transpired. Some people fay, however, that he brings a new treaty, becaufe t he _ r MST CONSUL would not agree to the firft. It is clear, however, that Peace will take place, becaufe the Portugnefe Regiments are ordered into Cantonments, but on the other hand they are arming Veffels, which gives rife to many conjeCtures. In the mean time, while waiting for the conclufion of this comedy, the Kira of Spam amoks himfelf in hunting on the territory of his eo n-in-law. He hunts every day at Villa Viciufa. They fay alto that the Spa nab troops arc retiring from Alentego. There have been come difputes at Portalepe between the inhabitants and the Spanith troops. On the 4th, the Princect of Bs•stt. was delivered of a Prin. cefs, on which occafion there were gnat illumi nations, and the ufnal (Mutes from the Forts and Veffels in the harbour. • •}IOTMEIL LiTTIII, S•l'a DATI• In my laft letter, dated the 29th ultimo, I in formed you in the concluding part, that it was generally fuppofed by the Minallers of this country 4. that the French Government would not ratify the Treaty." This foppofition is fully confirmed ; the French Government Wilt upon the Portuguefe receiving French and Spanifh garrifons in its cities and forts, as alto on the ceflion of the Province of Algarve to .Spain. The Portuguefe Government ' is making very great exertions to defend itfelf.-1 They are working in the arfenal day and night, and the greateft aftivity prevails in every branch of the War Department. The Government here Rill hope for/succor: from England—vain delufive hope ! Six Portuguefe fail of the line are on the eve of failing to join our Fleet off Cadiz; very large bounties are offered to feamen to enlift. The Portugpefe Government is become rich now, and can afford it, as part•ofthe fublidy from England, which arrived in the Assoa frigate a few days fine, has filled its coffers, and will ferve as pocket money for General Sr. CYR, who, I informed you in my laft, had invefted Almeida, and is now ad vancing very rapidly towards this place. His head-, quarters are at Santarem, about fifteen leagues from Lilbon. The Due d'Asrot as, the Portu guefe Commander in Chief, has quitted his firong pofition at Abrantes, leaving a hong corps there under the cpmmand of General FORBES (a Scott man man?' years in the Portuguefe ter - ices), and is gone with the main army towards Sr. Cries army, and has taken a very favourable pofition to prevent a further irruption if poflible. The French, Spanifb, and Portuguefe negotiators (till continue at Badajos, where the King of Spain alto is, expeaing to have met the Prince of Poa re e had the peace been ratified. Notwithilanding theft warlike appearances, there is no doubt that Portugal mutt make peace, and fubmit to any terms. The reit is all a farce, played for the pur pole of diverting the. Cabinet of St. James's. Chevalier d'Aeamto who was fent to L'Orient in a frigate, did not obtain permißioa from the French Government to _proceed to Paris, but re mained at L'Orient. He was lodged in the houfe of the Prdedt, and was highly pleafed with bis treatment. The crew of the frigate were main tained by the French Government. The Chief Conful informed the unfortunate difappointed di plomatill; th 4 as the Miniflers were ambled at -dajos for the ptirpofe of negociating, he ought to proceed thither. Jf. d'ASAsjo failed in confe• quessee isoF Cornetist, and was there informed that racy was aped ; he ;hen returned hither. M. d'Aitatryo is sot much liked at prefeut in France. He played a ridiculous part in the year 1797. • This t. the Otatkroas who emllall teethe famous Jon Withaa at Path, for having to mu,b *bored hi. casatrynam osw d the torlons of the Norio Bowe IRANCL PARIS, JULY 19.

Rear-Admiral GaNTHEAUME, after having paired 'the Strait of Meffina, (Leered for the North coat of the ifland of Candia, from scheme he took a Southerly reilion, and arrived at Derna without having fal len in with Admirals W/AREN and BICKERTON, whom according to report, Lord Kirrit bad de tatched to watch the motions of the French fleet. This news has alfo been brought by a courier dill patched by General Mokicsr. The confiflency that prevails in the depofitions of the feveral na val Captains who have arrived at Leghorn, and other circumilances by which it is fupported, give this news an appearance of great probability', though it is Rill neceffary to wait for its confirma tion.--goornal jet Debate.

N , Juni r4.—There is in fight a nume rous &et, but we do not know to what nation it belongs. It is very generally reported that there was a naval engagement between the Englilh and French, near Etatlett° or Brindos. LEGHORN. JULY a.—Several Englilh velfels have appeared in the roads of Porto Ferrajo. The courage of the inhabitants has thus been reani mated, but the place has been bombarded a fecond time, and little doubt is entertained of its fpeedy furrender. ____---. SPOLITTA, JUNI 33,-.—The Governor of this city has received a letter from the French Commander at Bieti, announcing the important intelligence that the French troops, now at Aquila, are imme diately to retire to Terni. This refolution has been taken in confequence of a melancholy accident, which the letter mentions in the following words : " A dreadful difafter has happened on the road from Chieti to Popoli. It was occasioned by the finking down of a mountain, which has rendered the Mad impaffable for more than a mile and a half. The fpeElacle is truly terrific." Several French officers lately arrived from Bieti, nate that there had been an earthquake, by which five hundred perfons perilhed. We likewile learn that the river Pinaro, unable to continue its courfe, had spread itself over the country, and formed an immense lake. Thefe events were communicated to General btu RAT, and be was earneilly requefled to fufpend the march of the troops on their way from Foligno for the kingdom of Naples. STA/ISM/RON, JOLT 13.—We havereceived far ther particulars of the march of the A ultriao troops into the Upper Palatinate. They confined of in fantry, cavalry, and artillery, to the number of about 4800 men. They came from Pilfin. The 'Count de Vtatco, Commander of the Bava.-ian tt.s being fitataimed to withdraw, declared to the AnOrian General that he had no ortienlrons his Cour% with regard.to the eyacuation of the nits I occupied by his regiment, but that he fhould im mediately fend to Munich for inftruetions. In the mean time he miffed the Auftrians would not think of paffing the frontier&of Bohemia. His re prefentations were vain, and as the Bavarian troops would not fall back, the Auftrians attacked them, and put them to flight. The Count de VIRAGO himfelf was wounded. The Aultrians fucceffively occupied Plegfemberg' Neu ft adt, Pleffein, Mof bach, Schcznfee, and Frauenberg. By the laR advices they were making difpofitions to march again ft Pfreumt and Amberg. Other detachments from Bohemia have occupied Waldmunchen and Ret z. VIENNA, IDLY 4.—The QUEEN Of NAPLES was very ferion y indifpofed about the end of June. At Schcenbrun the moll lively uneafinefs was felt for her life, and their lursazaz MAJESTIES re paired thither in bane to be with her. She has been much better however for Tome days, and the apprehenfions of her friends have entirely fubfided. It is faid that at Paris there is on the flocks a new conftitution for Tufcany. This country is to have a conftitutional king. A no s au x o m, Ju LY 7.—Their Serene Highneffes the Hereditary Prince and Princefs de la Touß and TAM, fct out yefterday for Munich, where they will make a Ray of eight - days. Their High neffes will then return to this place, from whence they will fet out for their chateau at Trugenhofen, where they will remain Tome time. BORDERS Or THE MAYNE, JULY I r.—. According to a German Gazette, his Pruffian Majefty has ap pointed a Conuniffion to examine into the circum (lances of the Jews in his dominions, and to pre fent to him in the Report plans for relieving their condition. It is fuppofed that his Majefly has been induced to adopt this meafure by the repre fentations of Citizen BouRNOtiVILLE, who, as well as other agents of France at the German Courts, had been invited by the Prefea of Mentz to inte nd themfelves in favour of this nation on the fub jeet of the right of toll duty to which they are fub jeet. According to another Gazette in our vicinity, the King of England has made application to the Emperor of Ruifia to as as mediator for the con clufion of his peace with France. In the fame ar ticle it is added, that Citizen Duaoc, who is Rill at Peterfburgh, has received overtures for the con clufion of a general peace, which he has tranfmit ted to his Government. Bast.s, JOLT tg.—The votes for the Ele&ors reprefenting Diftriets, which were given at Berne on the 9th and loth, fell chiefly upon thofe who have been openly attached to the old fyftem of things. The Municipality of Berne, has chofen for its Electors perfons who protefted.againfl the reparation of the country of Vain and Argorice. In the Cantons of Zurich, Tnrgovia, Arran, and Appenzel, the Municipalities have given h eir fuf frages to perfons refident in the country, and have Secluded the inhabitants of the towns. BAILIN.

Waste., JULY t t.—Private letters from Vienna Rate that the armaments throughout the Rates of Auftria are confiderable, and that even the horfes for the conveyance of baggage are conftantly kept in a Rate of preparation for fervice. A great deal of filver money has been coined which has not been put into a Rate of circulation, but has been referv ed for the pay of the foldiers in time of war. The treafury exchanges nothing but fmall bank notes of two and four francs value, and this it does by means of pieces of the value of firteen or eighteen foes.

In the preceding columns we have given every thing worthy of the fmalleft notice in the French papers which arrived yefterday. The aftion reported in thefe papers to have taken place at Algeziras, and on which we could not yefterday, owing to the latenefs of their arrival, offer a tingle remark, will occalion not a little ex ultation in France, from the way in which it has been Rated. We believe, however, that when all the fads !hall be known, it will torn out that the enemy have nothing to boaft of, and that the Bri tifli flag, inftead of being tarnifhed, has acquired frefh glory. There cannot be a doubt that the Englifh (qua. dron alluded to, was that under Sir JAME. &au sesasz, for the HANNIBAL was with him, and Sir JAPIRS was known to be in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar. The following is a lift of his fquadron : The CABAL of 8o guns, (the flag fhip) Capt. Bass-row ; the Porn', 8o guns, Captain STIR LINO ; the AUDACIOUS, of 74 guns, Sir ROBERT BARLOW, Kra. ; the Kinn 'tut, of 74 guns, Capt. FERRIS; and the S►encsl, of 74 guns, Captain DARN; the THISEs frigate, of 3a guns, Capt. Hott.as (a&ing) I the UNICORN frigate, of 32 guns, Captain Wawa', and the Si R T. PALear brig, of 6 guns. • As the enemy reptcfent our number to have been twice that of their own, it is plain how much aid they mat have derived from the batteries of Algeziras, which are extremely heavy and powerful. But in fpite of this aid, they mull have been hard put to it when they could not prevent a few gunboats from carrying off one of our 1;f. abled veffels, and which they fay had (truck. Thi4 circumflance leads usto fufped thatthe HANNIBAL, which they boalt of having captured, had rue aground, and confequently could not be brought off by any difplay of bravery ; and we think it probably will turn out, that a number of her hands efcaped in the gun-boats which carried off the other veffel. We can afford to lofe a veffel now and :her, provided we only obtain an equivalent, and it wi!T tarn out that on the prefent occafion we have more than obtained one. From the names of fome or the French veffels;they appear to have been part of thole which failed from Brett with Gear HEAVME. They bad been purfuing Come Englifh Blips (pr( bably merchantmen) on the coaft of Provence, and, perhaps, were to join frefh reinforcements at Toulon, or in fome Spann port, when they were hindered by falling in witicSir JAMES SAL:MAI - 1Z ! The obje& of their voyage, whatever it was, is completely defeated, and the troops they had on board, which certainly had a diffl-rent &Rita. tion than to man batteries at Algeciras, mull remain where they are un their (hips undergo a proper repair. _ _ _ It appears that it was not without reafon that the Monitnir lately complained of divifions among the Generals in the army of Egypt. Generals Raceme and DUMAS, witl► Brigadier General &tyke and other Officers of inferior rank came home in the Lodi. Nothing could have induced thefe very diftinguithed Generals to return in :ha critical Rate of affairs, except a difagreement with Minot); and the lots of fo much military talent muff be felt, unlefs the faeeion which thefe men nourifited was found to be totally inconfillent with difcipline. Maxon, we apprehend, is a man of no military (kill; but the terms on which he flood with Raotitsa and others, and their known re luetance to remain in Egypt, prevented him or the fervice profiting from their abilities. It is a fingular thing that, before Maeon's arrival, LA NUSss, who commanded, made one or two attacks on our polls with lets than one half of the whole that Mambo had on the alit March, in which he was rather repulfed than defeated, as the Com mander in Chief was. The report of an aaion in the Adriatic is not confirmed by fubfequent accounts from the places where it originated. Neverthelefi, We have heard that perfons in office attach fome credit to the re. port of an aaion, and it is even Paid that private accounts from Vienna reprefent it as favourable to this country. The French Funds are 43k. By the Lifbon Mail which arrived yellerday, we learn, that it is now underflood at Lifbon that the French Government will not ratify the trea ty of Badajos. In confequence of this informa tion, the Portuguefe make a Phew of the moft vigorous preparations to defend their coun try. Thefe preparations, however, appear to be too late. General Sr. Cra had advanced to Santerem, a town in Portugal, 55 miles from Lif bon. The Duke trAt.rosxs, with part of the Portuguefe army, has left Abrantes, and proceed. ed to the North aft frontier, in order to oppofe Sr. CYR, and for this purpofe he has taken a fa• vourable potation. It is not very probable, how ' ever, that the troops, which could not refill:the Spaniards, will be able tq contend with the French. Notwithftanding the buftle made at Lir. bon, we fee no chance of their being able .to hold out. .They mutt capitulate on the terms which the enemy may chute to di&ate. Yefterday the Marquis of Bo cc Imo w•ii, as Commanding Officer of the Bucks Militia, receiv ed orders from the War-Office to march his regi ment immediately fromChelmsford to Colchelier barracks ; and an order was at the fame time ailed by Lieutenant General Bs:. von a, commanding that Diftria, for all the Volunteer Corps, both horfe and foot, to be called out without lois of time. Detachments of artillery will immediately march to firengthen the principal points on the Kent and Suffex coat. Lord BILAYIROOII, Lord Lieutenant of Vex, fummoned the Deputy Lieutenants and Magif trates of the county to meet him yeflerday at the Shire Hall, Chelmsford, to take into confideration the bell mode of defence for that county, and par ticularly for the Coalt in cafe of invafion by the enemy. Orders for driving the cattle to the in terior are expel ed to be immediately iffued. Orders have been fent down to the Lords Lieu tenants of different Maritime Counties, to order the Cattle and Magazines to be removed farther into the interior. Mr. histitwasnio prefided at the dinner given lali week at the Buth, Staines, at the IZiarter Ser. flout.l t ord Netsow was welcomed to the com pany by the loadeflaielamations.
