The condua of the Spaniards is Hill doubtful, they are bufy railing men for their army. " The MEDUSA, Captain Gots, has juft arrived from a cruize, bringio in the French Weft Indlaman I'Aiman, from Martinique, with fugar and toffee, bound to Marfeilles, goo tons burthen. " Arrived alto this morning the brig Margaret, from Civita Vechia, in 24 days. The Captain reports, that a body of French troops had palled through the Pope's dominions towards Naples, but that they af terwards retired from all the Neapolitan and Roman territories, except Ancona., He alto lays, that he was convoyed by the Now frigate from Civita Vechia to the north end of Corllca, and that on the page the Nosisa's boats were fent to attack two French privateers, but were repulfed, having 12 men killed or wounded. .4 The TRIUMPH, PRIVOYARTZ, and two naval ftorefhips, have juft failed for Malta or Toulon. " tellerday morning the convoy failed from this place for Malta, confißing of ten fail of merchant men and ftordhips, with the SeaHoass and ARROW. " The MiDU SA failed on a cruise to the weftward in the morning, and in the evening we were alarmed at feeing her returning into the Bay with every fail tet, firing guns, and making fignals of diftrefs. She thortly came to an anchor clofe to the Mole, when it appeared the had (ruck upon a funken rock, in attempting to work out of the Gut, which occafton ed her to make a great deal of water, and will oblige her to be hove down, as the has made a large hole in her bottom. 44 It is generally believed here, that France has contented to the neutrality of Spain, on condition of that country paying a large fum annually during the war; in which cafe, the FIRST CONSUL will derive infinitely more benefit from the money, than he would from the arms of Spain. _ _ " Notwithltanding all the Spanith profeffions of neutrality, they have lately !hewn fuch a decided and unjuft partiality to the French, that it can hardly pars unrefented by our Government. " The Spanith ports in this neighbourhood (warm with French privateers, who receive every affiftance from the Spaniards they require; they are (offered to carry their prizes into all the Swab ports, where every French Conful takes upon himfelf the right to condemn them. Every Spanith port has feveral pri vateers conftantly cruising at its entrance, and fo near that our men of war cannot take them, being within gun (hot of the Forts ; but they make no fcreple of capturing every Eighth veffel, that offers either to go out or in. Several of them are conftantly on the watch under the guns of the Wand of Tears, in the Gut, notwithftanding the repeated remenftrances of the Officer commanding the fquadron, againft the injullice of fuffering them to cruise under the guns of the Fort. But the negle& with which that Govern ment has treated every refitouftrance made by ns, has long been notorious, and if tome very prong meafures are not adopted by Great Britain, they will Puffer all the inconveniences of a Spaniffi war, with out any of its advantages. Had our Government taken a decided part, and blockaded Cadiz the in. Rant hoftilities commenced with France, the whole Treafures which have been colleting all lad war in South America, mull have fallen into our hands.— Within theft three months, upwards of Te t err Mir.- mous of dollars in fpecie and effeas, have arrived in Cadiz from their colonies, and fifteen more are daily =pelted, after the arrival of which, we than perhaps know a little more of their fentiments. " The infant the Spaniards heard of hollilities be. ing renewed between France and England, they fent a man of war fchooner out of Cadiz, to warn all the French (hips they met of their danger, and in conk quence, eight rich French Well Indiamen took &eller in Cadiz, which would otherwife inevitably have been taken in palling the Straights. •UOUST 14.

A tinailar account reached us by an American :hip tome days ago. " The Emperor of Moaocco has declared war againft the Genoefe, and has feized one of their vet tell at Tangiers. Two af his row pities arrived here yellerday in their way up the I.:ectiterraimaa, on a cruize.

The frigate and the brig (poke them, and informed them, that the French fleet at Toulon were not making any preparations for failing, and that Genoa had been declared in a Rite of blockade by his Lordthip. " Au cty sr ts.—lt is generally reported to-day, that 110rapiars has infilled on the Spaniards fur. tilting their quota of men and (hips, as Ripolated by treaty, in which cafe Spain mull come to tome fpoedy dettimination which Gil, OK will take." eAprtntk or rOtarAti.
