" After ash interval, war lsreke out knew between Eng land and France, and the Court of Portugal having made the greatest sacrifices to avoid war and the harsh and humiliating prupositioas t.f the French (iovernment, thought itself fortunate to be able to conclude with the greatest sacrifices of money, the Tr aty or 1801, in whiff!

" France received from Portugal, from 1804 to ISOT, coltiniat commodities and first m;tterials for her ntunfactu. The alliance of England and Portugal was useful to France la the depression suffered by the arts and industry,. in (pence of a perpetual war by land, and a di:astrous sea,. in which she only met with defeats, it was.certaittly• 'advantage to Fr.ince, that the commerce of Portugal shot ter no Wert-owlets ; undoubtedly, it was equally useful I iyuntries.
