But all this warlike apparent is of no avail, if you suffer yourselves to be sabdwid by terrors and mistrust. —The Governors of the kingdom do not wish to deceive you.

By your fidelity you have preserved, since the foundation of the Mo narchy, your religion. your Sovereign and your laws--by your valour you have destroyed your enemies, amerced your independence, crossed the seas, conquered the coast of Africa, vutiquished the nations of the East, and formed a vast empire in the finest part of the New World. We, we alone, have performed such prodigies of valour ! Do we not still profess the same religion ? Do we not still breathe the same air? Are we not the same Portuguese ?

We have received the most ,atisfuetory intelli gence from the two northern provinces of Portugal.

It is reported that they bats received supplies of ammunition and military stores from the Eight ladia, and it was he tiered at Bussorah, that a British Officer of rank had arrived in their camp.

Fos•I ER, and Mr. NVAttu, arrived in her from Ca diz.—Accounts, we understand, have been received by her from Mr. Faette. our Ambassador in Spain, tind from the Supreme Junta at Seville, up to the ult. They do not, we are informed, com municate any news from the Patriots in the South of Spain. The Junta had not heard of their opera tions for souse time. The Spaniards were making preparations fur the defeuce of Cadiz, and the Sparkish men of war there were fitting out, should the approach of the French make their departure necessary.—Atliniral Pony's, in the Atlas, with the L:alwarle lVd Votintaire, was lying there. The St. Lorcata, Spanish litic-of-bottle ship, had ar rived from the Ravanualt, with 40,0001. iti dollars. and a cargo of tobacco. No certain information had been received either at Cadiz or at Lisbon, of the battle of Consume, and the embarkation of mar army. The Portuguese at Lisbon, we are inform ed. daily expected to hear that the French bad entered their frontiers, but, it i► said, they will not attempt. to make any resistance to their approach. —The 27th. 29th, and 31st Regiments, under the command of Major-GenerallLtciexzic, had embarked in the Tagus, for tic purpose of proceeding to garrison, Cadiz.—They a ere to sail nu the sth instant, under convoy of the Setnir.unir, Capt.

She has sno barrels of flour on board, and was bound to St. Domingo. We have received Dutch ai.d German papers, ~to the •:wth last. from which we have made some extracts. They are of little intrinsic interest, but even although they were of an opposite description, our attention hits been so long directed abroad, almost exclusively to Spain, and it is now so wholly engrossed by :Um CLARKE at home, that the Con tinent of Europe, and the imbecility and misconduct of 1-lis Mese'Ty's Ministers, scarcely occupy a mo inent's care. Of Austria, and even of Russia, we hear little or nothing. Tile one is silent soil prostrate ; the other, active only to purposes of subjugation, as the instrument of BUN APARTM. Prussia seems to be even no longer estimated as one of the exist ing Sovereignties, though nominally preserved among the ostensible Monarchies of Germany. One of the Ministerial Papers has even almost asserted, that the motive of the King and Queen of PRUSSIA'S visit to Petersburgh, recently undertaken, is pre. parstory to the possible resignation or abdication of Ins Crown by FItDERIC WILLIAM. Incredible as , this supposition may appear, it is certainly more than possible, if we reflect on the actual situation of Europe, and particularly of those provinces which ; i- fact, whether the unfortunate and fallen Pauses, who ocen o ies nominally the Prussian Throne, re sides at litniiiig4berg. or at bertin, he i s cquolly a captive. At any hour he may he transferred either to Paris or Petersburg!), at the pleasure, or at the caprice of his 4miers. In the kingdom of Prussia he possesses not a single fortress, except Goan dents, on the Vhtuls, which could afford him uo protection apinst, au incursion of Russian troops from Courland or Lthuatiiii. If he transfer his residence to Berlin, or to Potzrtain, theta he is surrounded by the garrisons of Nsrasetio, who, at this {lcor, continues to retain the keys of Itaudenburgh, of Ponierania, and of Silesia: while JIIROMM BVI•PARTM occupies Magileicirgii. IVhether, therefore; ...ttitosatt: Willa...so is, or is not permitted to return from his present vieSS to ALF:MA/Sum alai to revisit his own doml'idoiss„ is of little consequence. • Neither the charms our '• the blandishments of the Queen of PRUSSIA, con alter the destiny of her hatband, or Is.ing back the period of time, when his armies, his ime.fe mice, and his weight, eight have changed the aspect of Europe, only a few years ago, in De cumber, Isos. CAULLAICOURT, Vill• is nearly as touch master ut Petersburgti as NlunaT was at Madrid, and who dictates to At.i:x D4ll. as Jo- ACHIM did to FCrtotNtau NAL will take prolier precautions against any attempts on tile part of FREDERII K WILLIAM to affect the coun sels.

Switzerland, and its future cousti trition or government, brings suspended on bit nod. The provinces, ports, and resources of Denmark, even those of Zealand and Funen, not less than the Continental Statesof the Danish Crowu, are all in his hands. At Copenhagen, once a beautiful, commercial, and flourishing capitol, we see that the lower orders are reduced to subsist, in part, like the Tartars of the desart—ou horse-flesh; while the Goverinnetit paper or securities are fallen to 60 per cent. below par.

Saxony, though ostensibly favoured, and its tern- . tones augmented at the Peace of Tilsit, at the expense of Prussia, is, it is supposed, only reserved for new transformations. The Ette- TOll-KINU is known to lie too inimical to the revolutionary ilymistiee of the hour, to be al lowed to remain permanent on his new throtic ; and NAPOLEON, who, like TIBERIUS, layK op 1.,s vengeance to future time, and re-produces it um impaired, will, when his leisure admits, r;...-orga nise, and regenerate the Saxon, as he kindly hiss the Spanish dominions.
