From nor Gibraltar letter it will be lien that the Spaniards thew great partiality to the French cruizer s, and afford them every aid in capturing and condemn • ing our vac's. To uk the language of our corref pondent, by the prefent neutrality of Spain we fuf fer all the difativantages of war without enjoying any of the benefits of peace." In our paper of Thurfday we mentioned that the NIMROD cutter had brought intelligence from the auk of Spain, of Jimmie BOMa►ART! having reached that country, in an American veffel. We are happy in being able to (late, that we have ftrongreafons for believing that the NIMROD has been partly mifin formed. Intelligence has been received by Govern ment from Baltimore, Rating that Pewit Bona 'save had engaged a paffage in the American chip Prefident, but that in reality be bad pnrchafed a Virginia pilot boat, to convey him to France at the fame time, and that be is now on his paffage in the Aid pilot boat. _ • An facer jail come from off Boulogne, fay., that there appeared to be about so,ooo troops collated in that neighbourhood. And that General Messina was ',dually there to embark with them. No doubt ala be entertained that the haulers of invafion is now drawing towards a crifis, but we trnft that the enemy when they make their attempt, will meet with a re ception they little expelt, and which will caufe them to repent of their rash and prefumptuous undertak. fog, Letters from the fame quarter Rate that there on between 8o and go gun boats iii that port, and that two large encampments cover the bills on each ids tithe town. Is the Gorier Js Leans of la night it is hated, that among aural of the French demi-brigades a plan of the mode to be purfued in the pillage of Lon. dab and the diftribution of the fpoil of its wealthy Ishabitants, has been circulated. The foldiers to whom this nonfenfe is addreffed, are too much flat tered with the profped which it opens, to entertain the limallelt doubt of the fuceefs of the expedition •Is'4 this country. They do not imagine that the Government would hold out fuch alluring promifes If it Were not peeled of the means of realizing them, and that fuch extenfive preparations would not be made if it were not in (trims contemplation to em ploy them. It is not believed that Bonaparte will 'elite the command of the fire body of the invading *nut He will place himfelf in the centre of the troops, and prepare, if there be any necelfity, to put lhimfelf at the head of the Army of Referee. If a reverfe of fortune is experienced, and if this reverie of fortune is accompanied by coneullions in the inte rior, he will probably find it necelary to recur to there meafures of cruelty and barbarity which his charaller diftates, and from which policy has hither to reArained him. He may then relinquifh the flower skid of deportation to fabftitute in its room the more rapid expedient of the guillotine or the musket. We know well enough that this would be the laft period of his power, the laft refource of his tyranny. How loon it may arrive cannot yet be afcertained. The attacks which we have made on the French harbours, have ferved at leaf to convince ns that the Prench Government has been put to an expence full 7 as great, if not greater than our own. Where ever our cruisers have attempted a bombardment, they have Peen batteries prepared. Our Correfpon deist fiatedtous.that he could fee tor bombs in the air at one and the fame time. Thofe whq know how flowly bombs are fired. mull be (edified that they could not have fewer Rationed on the point, from which this tremendous fire was kept up, than fifty ; and if every afrailable point of its extenfive coati be thus guarded, we may firm fonte eflimate of the probable expence. Perhap. it %soil be (aid that this affords very little confolation to irs. that the enemy is more ditiretred than oorfelves. Bat viewing it with a military eye it is effential, bee:lee having the fa. pet . ° ity at lea, we can impofe upon the French Go- viornment this enormous exp:nce, and th.rreby ac tolerate the return of peace. We can choofe our place of a ta-i; ; the eagle hovering ()ter the can pounce upon our prey wherever we fee it espoted; and thus with to or 20,c00 difoofAble men oblige the Citisr Consus to dilperre his %hole . army. and thus render his MCAACCS of ittrschon prataisabla. STARALTAP, SEPT. I. Yerterday afternoon the American ft • a fiKw delphia arrived from a cruise to the ealprard, bringing in with her, as a prize, the Maori& corvette the Mithod, of sz guns, and too men, whidt the captured near Alicant. It appeared, from the inftruc tions found on board the Moor, that the Ett Pa so& of Moaocco, a month ago, had given orders for the capture of all American veifels, by his cruisers. This very corvette had taken the Ameri can brig the Celia, bound from Barcelona to Mala ga, which the had then in company with her, and which the frigate alto recaptured and brought in here. Two Engli(h Letters of Marque, the AMU and and MART, were lately captured by a French priva teer of only four guns and so men, in the Gut, and carried into Tariffs. They were bound to Tur key, and their cargoes were valued at upwards of co,OOOL There is conflantly a (warm of French privateers lying under the protection of the guns of the Wand of Tariffa, which lies in the middle of the Streghts, and where, from the neutrality of Spain, our men of war dare not attack them, but from which they rally out and make prizes of every Eng lifh veffel that attempts to pals without convoy, which they immediately carry into Tariffa, haul or (pore, and unload, without any trial and condem nation, as they are now doing with the cargoes of there two valuable prizes. Every port in Spain has alfo fome French priva teers lying near it, who intercept all Englifh veffel► that attempt to go out or in, without convoy. The French Confuls in the different ports ad as Judges of the Admiralty, immediately condemning the vet . - fels ; and where there happens to be no Conful, the prizes are fold without any ceremony. No fuch pi ivi leges are granted to Englith cruisers or privateers, fa that if our Government does not fpeedily adopt Tome Prong and decided meafures to put a flop to fuch pradices, the molt ruinous confequences to our trade will enfue ; as by the prefent neutrality of Spain, we fuffer all the difadvantagea of war, with out enjoying any of the benefits of peace. It is much feared here, that thole who ought to give our Government information of every thing paling in the Spanilh ports are rather remits in per forming their duty; but it can hardly be otherwile, while our Confuls are on their prefent impolitic eflablithment. Their falary in general is (mall: they are all merchants deeply engaged in the Spanilh trade, which is their chief dependence; and, as a war forces them to quit the country, and puts an end to their bufinefs, we cannot wonder if they abaain from taking any Reps, or giving any information that might lead to an event they fo much with to avoid. The Spaniards teem now to prepare for war. They have lately begun to work at their lines before the garrifon, and are bußly employed in clearing away the find, and putting them in a Rate of defence. Yefterday morning his MAJISTY and Princes So- MA, attended by Lady PITT, Lord WALSINGH•OI, Sir W. PITT, and Colonel Firzaor.took their anal ride in the reat Park ; her Maim's- and Princeffes AUGUSTA and Soruta of GLOUCESTER, with their attendants, took an airing to Frogmore.

They are intended to inundate that coati in care the French (hook' land there. The two channels leading into Spithead are equal ly to be guarded by a confiderable naval force ; and we understand two fecund rates are to be Rationed in the Needle pafrage, and look-oat veffels at the back of the Ifle of Wight, which will form a cordon with the line of battle !hips at St. Helen's. Thus every precaution will be taken to guard Portfmouth from any danger of attack.
