Lissom, Auc. 4.—The Port convoy, meriting of 55 fail, are all fate in the Douro. There has been a ferious tumult among the foldi:rs here. It kited four days, during which many lives were 1011. There difturbances originated in a difpute between two of the regular regiments quartered here and the regiment of police guards; but, at length, by the fpinted behaviour of the latter, and particu larly of a detachment commanded by a French Lori grant of the name of Noviow, order was raored, though the populace feconded the regular foldiers. One of the regiments, commanded by Don Gomez Far silt% is banilbed to Cafcaes, and its Commander is confined in the Tower. On the 3d inft. however, the city was in a Rate ct tranquillity ; but the pre caution had been taken by Government to double the police guards and patroles. Letters from Spain notice the preparations which are making in that country. They are alledged by that Power to be in fupport of her neutral charader, and to render it rerpedable. A Letter from Madrid, dated July at, lays— ', All this week the people in Madrid have been half mad on account of the Feifta Real.

Letters have thus been received from France, but chiefly, we be. lieve, from the towns on the toga and neighbour hood of Calais. By a (private letter, for the authenticity of which we can pledge ourfelves, it appears, that notwith- Banding the little attention which the French Go vernment has for tome time paa paid to its ruined Navy, confiderable exertions are n•w making to place their naval effabliihment on a refpeaable foot ing. Betides the Bo gun fhip lately launched at Toulon, four fail of the line of at 'calk 74 or Eto guns, are now on the Rocks in the dock yard of that place, together with two large frigates. The Swayrsuas, which was captured during the laft war in the Medi terranean, is in dock there, and about to receive a complete repair. Another letter Rates, that the greatell exertions are making at Toulon in building (hips, and that the keels of half a dozen of large (hips, of at lean So gone, are ordered to be laid down immediate ly. Upwards of 3000 galley eaves, and about the Came number of workmen, are daily employed ei ther in the dock yard, or on the fortifications, which are putting in the heft (late of defence poffible. The garrifon, it is (aid, confide of sOOO men. The fame letters Rate that the French have Soo° troops at Genoa. Letters from Captain HOTHAIK repeat, it is (aid, Lis having received intelligence that the labours of boat.building and of equipping two fail of the line in Holland, had been countermanded by orders from the Sativian Government. The reafon of this is Laid to be, that they are in want - of fuitable materials.— We do not, however, vouch for the truth of the fiat e meat. We learn, by letters from Dublin, received this morning, that Robert Emmet, who it is fuppofed was on: of the chief inftigators of the late ittfur ration, and after whom much (catch had been made, was arrened on Thurfday laft by Major SIM We are happy to add, that every thing remains quiet in Dublin, where fever i al :other perfons who were aslive in the late diaurbance have been taken up. 44 DWIBL/N, AUG. 26.—Yellerday Redmond, of the Coal quay, in whore houfe pikes were found, under went an examination by the Privy Council, and while it was going on, a detachment of the Linnen-hall Corps, led by two aidsde-camp, fearched every houfe in Great Ship-greet for come Forum againft whom, it is fuppofed, Redmond gave inf , rmation. But, which is more important, lechers Emma, after whom Aria (earth has been making, was arrelled ye fierday evening at Harold's trots by Major SIRk. He attempted to &ape and was very near doing fo.—l troll his arreft will lead to important difcoveries. Major SlItR was in duced to arta bins by his affumpti on of falfe names and other circnmaances, but actually did not know it was Emmet he had, until identified by Mr. nilr a Fellow of the College. The loyalty of this City is much exhilinted by the arra of this man, whu, it is fuppofed, was at the bottom of the intimation. 4 , This is the only important news I have to com municate—of a minor urea I have to mention that of one of the men =acid of having attempted to afraffinate Mr. Cca air I, a Magitimte. on the (hocking evening of the 3341 July bit, as re paired through the Caftle-yard, under an efcort of the Palmerttown Yeomanry: he had the prefumption to &lute Mr. CLARK I, who happened to be (landing in the Court with fome friends. We are very quiet.—This day Donnybrook Fair commenced, but Government has taken every pre. caution, that it (hall not be made inftramental to the interruption of the public tranquility." By a miftake at the General Poll Office, in the preparation and management of the bags, lalt Sa turday evening, the Portfinonth mail was fent into York hire ; the mail for York conveyed (afar to Portfmouth. The Duke of Ctaitiwct vifited the aoes/on Ve limiter: on Friday, and gave them a Cum of money to drink 11;, health. His Royal Highnefs has been very aetive in animating all the Volunteers in his neigh bourhood. General Taacarou is appointed Commander in Chief of Munger and Kinkenny.. His head-quarters are to be at Mallow. The Invernefs-(hire Militia have marched in three divifions on Monday, Tuelday, and Wednefday, on their route to Dundee and Cupar of Fife. They have volunteered to go to Ireland, in cafe Govern. ment thall call for their fervices in that quarter. The number of Volunteers in the Welt Riding of Yorkfhire being above rs,ooo, and their proportion being 14,g00, the Levy en Maffe Ad is fufpendcd in that Riding. The Maqinrates, merchants, and (hip owners of the port of t ampbehown, have unanimouflr refolvech independent of the individual offers of military fir vices made by a great number of them, that the whole (hipping belonging to the port, confining of 6o veffels, burden about 4000 tons, (hall be at the immediate fervice of Government, manned and vic tualled for fuels voyages and fery ices as (hall be judged molt neceffary, and fubjed to their orders. A molt noble difplay of truly Briar patriotifm. The Cambcltown Coalwork Company have offered the fervice of their colliers and labourers, about 6o in number, as pioneers, or in any other manner their fervice may be deemed molt ufeful ; and the company have likewife offered all the horfes, carts, and wag goo:, employed about their work. The min;rs of Wanlockhead in the neighbourhood of Lead Hills, Scotland, with their two overfeers and manager, have offered their fervice to go►ernment, to a& as a corps of Volunteer Pioneers, providing themfelves with pioneering and entrenching tools, and to be ready to march in cafe of invailon, with ten days provifion. Lord CI4OI.MOMMAY is bnfily employed at his elate in Chethire a raifing a regiment of foldiers among his tenantry, to be at the ditpofal of Government in the event of invafion, riot, &c. His Lordthip means, at his own expence, to firma them witharms,clothes, ammunition, in lhort every thing necelrary for their equipment. A man with a raree (how flopped to exhibit, one day laft week, on Laucathire Bridge, Stockport, and a crowd of people, as ufual, gathered about him.— Amongft the ref, a Volunteer wifhed to have a peep at what was going on infide t he paid his halfpenny, and applied his eye so the glafs. The flow man had fbewn our hero half the fine cities in the world, and at length came to Paris— ,, There ( laid he) is the famous City of Paris ; and there you fee the great Bowareary haranguing his troops for the inrafion of England." The indignant foldier could contain hirnfelf no longer—his fury was roofed at the fight of his notorious enemy ; in an inflant *he grafped the devoted (hew.box, and threw all the fine cities in the' world, with Bona AAAAA and his troops, over the bridge— , There yon fee (cried he) Boa AAAAAA and his troops drowning, and be damned to them." _ _ The Hull Paper of Friday laff, received yeller- day, gives the following extras of a letter from Ja maica, dated Wellmoreland, June 26. " The Hun ter man of war arrived a day or two ago with the difagrecable news of our being once more at war with the French ; on her paffage out (he took a French merchant fbip and brought her into Port Royal. A Plot was lately laid in Kinglion by the people of co. our, to fet the city on fire, and in the confufion to maffacre the whole of the white inhabitants ; and the fame deßrultion was intended for Spanifh town.— Some of the eonfpirators have been hung, and it is thought many more will fuffer the fame fate." Another letter from Jamaica, dated July 4, (fates' as follows :--44 The French have abandoned the ifland of St. Domingo to the Blacks, who now reign vietorioully there, and hold out a dreadful example to this colony. And, accordingly, a few days ago, a confpiracy was dircovered in a miraculous manner among the negroes of this Mend. A Have having difpleafed his mailer, was fent to the houfe of correc tion. His companions knowing he was in the fecret of their plot, and fearing he might confers, fent him Tome viltuals which were poifoned. The natutpeß ing negro ate of the vitluals ; when finding the poi (on began to operate, and knowing whence it came, enraged at the treachery of his companions, be con feTed the plot which they had laid to fet fire to King- Ron, and mafracre every white inhabitant. If they had fucceeded in this, their intention teems to have been to proceed in the extermination of all the whites in the Wand. Some of them have already paid the forfeiture of their lives, and we are now quiet, but Rill under apptehenfions. The inhabitants of this ifland have reafoa to elide the day tity ever received the fugitive Frcncb Blacks from St. Domingo ; for they hake poifoned the minds of our Blacks with their revolutionary principles. There things, com bined with the war, have depreciated the value of negro and leaded property. Our Wand papers of yef terday announce the capture of two French frigates, full of troops. They se..re bound to Guadaloupe, but art carried into Barbadoes." P&L UNTEEM. The Commander in Chief his iffued in order for difcontinuing all Regimental Bands of Mute, dire& ing that the e rfo no who compose them may be ins• mediately trained to the ufe of arms. Das are now making out of the moll able-bodied men who have not volunteered their fervices, and it is intended, (hould the enemy land, fo far to pvt in force the General Defence Bill, as to compel panics of them to join the regulars immediately. His MaJISTV has been gracioufly pleated to ac• cept the offer of fervice of the Cltetter-le•&reet Vo lunteer Infantry. under thg command of Major RICHARD BILL. When the news arrived at that place on Saturday 'aft, the bells were let a ringing, and other demonltrations of joy were exhibited. The offer of fervice on the part of the Newcaale Loyal independent Volunteers, commanded by Col. CLENN ILL, has been accepted by his Majelly. The Sunderland Corps of Volunteer Infantry have been accepted by his MAJE STY. They are to con fift of ten companies, of at leaf( 6o men each, and in a few days it is expeaed they will be complete ; upwards of 400 of them are already far advanced in dtfcipline. and a fubfcription has been opened for cloathing them. In confequence of the determine• tion of Government to put the batteries along the Coaft under the management of the Sea Fencibles, the patriotic offer of fervice of the Sunderland Artil lery Volunteers has been declined. The Newcaftle Royal Waggon Train, under the Defence Ad, is now nearly complete, and a corps of guides, and another of artificers, are about to be mired, under the aufpices of the Deputy Lieutenants. In Derby, more than 14,000 men have volunteered their fervice ; and a fubfcription of 30001. has been raifed to equip them.
