The latter expects Tome apprehenfions of be ing attacked by France : any letters, however, that we have ken reit their fears more upon the circum- Ranee of Portugal being the Ally of Britain, than on any thing that has aßually tranfpired refpetling any immediately threatened attack. Several regi ments, as might be expefted on the breaking out of a war which may ultimately involve that country, have been ordered to the frontiers, and frelh enroll ments for military fervice have been made. But in none of the letters is any mention made of the Prince of Brazil preparing to fct out with the Court for his polTelllons in South America, as was trum peted forth with a wonderous difplay of pretended fuperior information i■ certain prints, which (port from day to day with the credulity of the public, on the authority of letters pretended to have been re ceived by the tali mail. Delation has its day, but it loon defeats itfelf, and the natural confequance is, that it defiroys the credit of thofe who employ it. On the r Bth of Augufl it was reported, that Ceo. LASXISi offended at the non-compliance of the Poe. tootle Government with Tome demand which he had made, was preparing for his departure, but on the following day, the report appeared to be without the halt foundation. It is believed, however, that he !wares the Court with his propofitions and his me naces. The report alto which had fpread through different parts of thz Continent, appears to have reached Portugal—that a violent commotion had taken place at Paris. A rumour likewife was in circulation at Lifbon, that the troops in Madrid, without any orders from the Government, had feized on the prfon of the Palace of Peace, and that this extraordinary Rep was generally confidered as the forerunner of ferious disturbances in Spain. The fubjoined letter from Cadiz, is from an English Gentleman who has refilled for fome time in Spain, and has good opportunities of being well informed: the Gibraltar letter is from a Correfpondent, whofe 4 veracity has been often proved. They are both highly interelling : CADIZ, JULY 29 It is by no r.le:lns an e;fy matter to give a correct ecfeription of-the intentions and meafittes of a Go. vernment which betrays great weaknefs and inde cifion ; and where the People themfelves, loft to every fink of genuine patriotifin, have become either cal. I ius to their fate, or, what is worfe, if pollible, detir• ou., of a change, without polieffing any of thofe ener r.„in or virtues, which could give them the 'call chance of profiting by it. 'it was Tome time ago the general opinion that the Spani(h Government would, as foon as the treafure fhips fhould be fafely in port, obey the mandate of France, and inftantly declare • againft England.— 'Without this neceirary fupply, to command it would have been requiring an impoffibility ; for filch has been the deranged Rate of the finances, either in con• sequence of the diallers of the late war, or of mil. management (probably both) that the navy in ge neral has had no pay for there three years pall The army have alto a long arrear doe to them i and, what will found Orange to the ears of Britons, no (Ater dares even to memorialise for his pay, under pain of dealt. At this time, however, if we dnrft calculate any thing on the ascafures of a Government indeeifave . and void of energy, we fhoold cmclude it has now se:olved, if it cannot keep out of the war, to codes %me ee guiptaig its independence, by refu.fiqg to eia•operate with ranee k any defigns that may be meditated againft Portugal. This appears, at the prefent moment, to be the line of conduit Spain wifhes to follow, for great ex ertions are making to raife men for the army, in which every company is ordered to be augmented to 160 men, which, with their new levies, will make the whole of the land force amount to about aoo,ooo men; and at the fame time they are difmantling their navy !—a meafure which would certainly not be re torted to if they wifbcd to fecond the views of the French in their deigns againß England—for, without a navy, what can they 'hope to do in fuch a war ? In short, their means can only enable them to go a certain length, and that not very far. Since their late importation of bullion, which amounts to about twenty-four millions of dollars, they have begun to pay off Lome of the arrears to their navy and army— but fomething elfe is wanted—they are almoll deflitute of every kind of warlike floret, efpecially naval ftores. Their arfenals are, literally (peaking, abfolutely empty, and they have refafed to buy any of the cargoes which the Swedes and Danes have lately of fered them for purchafe. Many of the thinking people here ate however of opinion, that they wall never venture to go to war with France, but will ultimately find themfelves obliged to comply with every demand of the French Government. Betides the particulars mentioned above, there are other circumftances on which they found their opinion. At the commencement of the laft war, Spain, like the other powers of Europe, joined against France ; and it is well known, that by the fuccefs which attended the French arms, the Spa nifh Government at laft fought fafety in a peace with France. By that very peace it may be confidered as having (eater' its own deftruetion—French emif• faries over-ran the whole kingdom—French prin ciples were circulated with a zeal and ardour that baffles all defeription. The Government, paralyzed by fear, happy at the momentary re fpite from diffolution, fearful of offending their new. made friends, and hoping, perhaps, that a fitter fea fon would arrive at a future period for repreffing that fpirit, fufered its influence to fpread, till its hydra form now defies its power. It is only by French fufferance—by French reftraint, that it is kept with in any bounds ; and both the French and Spanifh Go vernments are equally well acquainted with the cir cumfiance. To be brief, the infedion has fpread over Spain from one end to the other, through both cities and villages—even the great mafs of the peafantry are under its influence :—the ar my and the navy are not free from it; and what is more ftrange, even the Clergy, whole complete ruin is infeparable from a revolution, are fo blind and infatuated as to with for one. At 'call flack is the general teftimony of the beck informed here, and I fear it is but too well founded. Thofe who are able to think, fee a volcano ready to (wallow up the Rate, and view it as a dreadful but unavoidable evil. Thofe who cannot think are fo flupid as to desire it, and confider all the evils that have been brought upon them by the late war, as fo many crimes chargeable againft their own Government. From all this you will judge of the probability of Spain being able to oppofe the wilier of France, fhould the litter ferionfly prop,..i any attempt agaiall Portugal. Thole connetled with the Court talk of oppofing them if they fhould, but nothing is raid of any fuch propofal having been yet made. GIBRALTAR, AUGUST B.

The feafon commenced at this Theatre yefterday evening, with the Comedy of Speed the Plough, and the Farce of the Devil to Pay: Of the merits of the performers in their refpe'tive charaders, it is unne ceirary to enter into any detail. The rich humour of Mu EDEN, the eccentricity of FAWCETT, and the nal veti of KNIGHT, h s Farmer eflhfield, who " argttfied the topic" with his accuftomea excellence, were never difplayed to more advantage. MURRAY, in Sir Philip Blow/ford, and Mrs. H. SIDDONS. in So an Afhjeld, evinced genuine feeling ; and CHARLES KINDLE, who made his entrée on there boards in Henry, appeared to con lidcrable advantage. The took Womble of the Theatre, amid the corral nefs with which the performances were conduced, refieds welt credit upon the new management, and is an happy augury of the future entertainment of the town at Covent Garden—The front of the boxes is uniformly painted in a beautiful dead white and gold, and the infide in party coloured green, relieved and heightened with appropriate ornaments. The lob bies have been completely new painted in a Ityle cor refponding with the interior part. All the front boxes on both tiers have been enlarged by the addi tion of feats capable of accommodating with cafe, twenty four perfons more on each tier than they held loft feafon. The new private boxes, in the two pair, are fourteen in number, having others over them taken out of the flips of the two killing gallery, which are open to the public. The frontifpiece has been railed ten feet, and there is an entrance to the pri vate boxes from Bow-ftreet. A beautiful fecond cur tain in oil and water colours, reprefenting the Royal Arms, fupported by cherubs, forms a very fuperb pidure, and enriches the whole with an admirable died. The cieling is ornamented in the antique manner, without any of its heavinefs. It is rather a curious circumftance, that the piece of painting reprefenting the Royal arms in the centre of the drop curtain, is the fame which was teed in the Theatre, Lincoln's Inn Fields, fo long ago as during the celebrated triumvirate of Co ass It, WILK:, and BOOTH. The leading performers were all loudly applauded on their feveral entrances. The houfe was very refpedably filled. The performances of night commenced with an Addrefs, written by Mr. T. DIEDIN, of which the following is a copy, as it was fpoken and fung by Mr. FAWCETT : Fro*a Thelpian Camps, where Summer colours fly, Retnen'd to Meier Zweite,. here am I : Pratt of my millets, by the 0 feat.

The Right Hon. W. PITT came into: o trn about three o'clock, and embarked on board one our great boats, named the Polecat, to make trial I. a gun fitted up on the undermentioned confltuClion He fee fail, accompanied by Colonel PHIPPS, Cap tain ESSINOTONI, Lieutenants Srow and Gssims WORD, and Mr. JAMES MOON, who planned the ff; ing of the gun. After failing off two or three mile ' the gun, which was an eighteen pounder, was fir e , three times with round, and twice with cannifler fhot and was found to anfwer very completely, being fire, in feveral direflions. After giving his entire ap probation to the fitting of the gun, &c. fifty boat , are to be fitted up immediately in like manner, to of as gun boats if wanted. He landed and proceedet to utfpell the Dover Volunteers, of whom he is Cc load he entered the field where they were draw up to receive him, about coo flrong, when the me , went through their exercife and field manoeuvres in a manner that did them great credit, confidering the fhort time that they have been trained. Lord Mettoa, Colonel Pa I r vs, Colonel &one a tc, Colonel CHURCH. HILL, and feveral other military Gentlemen were prefent, and feemed very well pleafed with the men's appearance. At fix he fet off for Walmer Calle. Ar rived feveral colliers, and Tome coafters wind bound. The boat in which the gun is fitted is 66 feet long, and z 3 wide, rigged lugger fathion, and the gun is fought on a moveable hid, in the center of the boat, on a circle, fo that it can be pointed in any dire lion a piece of the tircle takes out forward, and alfo a piece abaft, fo that if more convenient, the gun can be made to run on its Ikid forward, and fought on the bow, or abaft, and fought at the (tern; and as the great danger of heavy cannon in boats, arife, from their being top heavy, and liable to break look, with the motion of the boat, when it blows hard ; it is fo conftrudied, that by means of two (crews, one man can lower the gun down on the Kelfon of the boat, where it ferves for additional ballad!, and if wanted for ufe, one man can raife it to its place for fighting (although its weight is aacwt.) ; this boat' manned by the Dover Sea Fencibles, under the com mand of Capt.
