Such was the conduct of Baseeastex towards a Prince. who had embanked to every sommeed, except that of dishoomariog himself, to the latest posterity. by seising on the property and the persons of his allies. The coudematioa of mankind justly attended a treatment so unprovoked, unjust, and severe. But the consequences rested there, and did not, extend beyond Portugal.

But, even if such should be the result, he has 101 l the greater part or Spain, as well as her commerce, her fleets, and .her colonies ; and he has rendered his nume proverbial for iufamy, outrage, and breach of every veered obligation, to distant times. Under such circumstances he has checked his own career, and imposed limits to his owe future acquisitions. From the point of his highest elevation, to that of his declension. the interval will probably not be very long. Our next accounts may enable us to ptouounce with more accuracy on this point.

The Tigre was allowed by the American Government to take his Excellency to Boardeaux. The Commander of the Growler informed the Mar quis of the late occucrepries in Spain, and soli cited, him to proceed thither at once; but the surprise of the- Marquis was such as to induce hint to doubt lathe of the facts stated, and to pre fer a visit to England before he proccedod to Spain. A passport was last night forwarded from the SECtSTART of STATE'S Office. and we understand his Excellency in tends to pass a few weeks at Bath. The Tigre - has a considerable number of passengers on board, also bound to Spain. She sailed by particular permission on the 7th ult. at which time the embargio continued in full force; but it transpires by this arrival, that in the new el . so: tion for Members for Cougres, not one candidate has been re-elected who was known to hats voted sor the embargo. No accounts from Cadiz or Lisboa had arrived at the Admiralty, at a late hour last night. COL:NA MIIZZA Y arrived yesterday with dis pttehes from Sweden.

Yesterday, the Dividend List was made at the Bask, and payment thereof commences this day. We have no authority far making any statements respectiug the departure of the Expedition as sembled it Cove, but, under all the circumstances of the case, it is very probable that the Commander in-Chief of the Forces embarked will leave town almost immediately, and that the whole will pro ceed on their &ideation.

The enclosure of Wildmnre Fen, below Boston, will bring into immediate cultivation 40,000 acres of inandated. and, consequently, of hitherto on profitable land. It is so rich, that considerable part of it is now selling at 301. per acre, and the rest is of equal value. The moderate amount. therefore, is 2,000.0001. The expenditure of in closing, draining, 44c. has cost 400.0001.; so that the net profit to the owners of this great *ink is 1,600,0001. sterling. Wednesday a Cabinet Council was held at the SECRETARY of STATE'S Office, which was attended by all the Ministers. The Council met at three o'clock, and did not break up till past six.

A remarkable instance of the fatal erects of the introduction of virulent animal matter into the hu man system, lately happened in the case of J.ist a.s GREY. a shepherd, in the service of Mr. Attu- n ote, of Henna, who, in the act of sk' g a sheep which had died of disease, (the thorter ill), and was at the time in • stet, of putrescence, acci dentally cat one of his fingers with the knife. The effect of the poisonous matter was truly astonish ing ; for on his going home in the evening, he com plained to his wife .• that he had inoculated him self. and he already began to feel the bail enema quences of it over all that side of his hotly on which tie finger was cut."
