We are awned that the French Government has granted to Portugal a further neutrality, on con dition of an annual subsidy of six millions of con sitdo.s.

The Ru 49;411 troops destined for Corfu, which, till their departure for that island. have been lodged in barracks at Buyokdera, have suffered much from the climate, to which they were unaccustomed.— These trool.s will continue their voyage, as soon as the ship that brought them shall have been repaired: As soon as the Pasha of Scutari hat left Adrian ople, tie banditti of Romelia again colleaed, to the number of 600 men—laid under contribution, cr boned severabvillages ; and approached so near to the capital, that apprehensions were entertained fur its safety ; hut we have since received the agree able intelligence, that a strong deta hment which has marched against them, has shut them up in a v•llAge, and surrounded them in stub a runner, that not one of those banditti will be able tuotscape. In Egypt, the Albanians still prevent tbilleys from advancing to Cairo. but their number dimi nishes every day, by desertion and repeated engage ments, and is now not supposed to be more than 4.001.

The courage of the Minnelukes is much praised, as is the experience of Mahomed Ali, the Chief of Albanians. Almost all the Con suls and European Agents have left Cairo, and re; tired to Rosetta or Alexandria. On the 20th of January, Admiral Nelson sent ad vice to the English Ambassador here that the Toulon fleet had put to sea, with a great: number of troops on board, and probably intended to make a descent on the Morea, or on Egypt.

We do not remember, in the case of any vacant office, so many persons assigned by rumour to fill it as in the present case of the First Lord of the ADMIRALTY. Mit Kills of Sr. Viocartr and lialowscnE,ViscountCasrussixaoss,LardsKLlTil and Hoon,SirCharlesMl DOLrt o sand Mr. YOR LE, have been each severally mentioned as the probable successor of ViscOunt Mary ; but we believe, in this selation, prejudice and party have only con sulted their own wit! es, except, as we have already stated,in the case of Nit .Yu aits,whose appointment to that high office appeet, at lean, more probal tkan that of any other Candidate whom romo has brought forward. This difficulty and delay prove not only the great importance of the office, but that the removal of Viscount Met v ts.e was an event unexpeEled by the Minister. Had the vote of the House of Commons been within the speculation of Mr. l'irr, he would, no doubt, have turned his at tention to a successor; and, in that case, we should have probably heard of some name mentioned with confidence before this time. His greatest enemies cannot refuse to Viscount MELVILLE the pos session of talents and industry to an extent rarely to be found in the same person. While, then, we rejoice at the victory of the Constitution, as displayed in the vote of Monday, and the glo rious proof which the House of Commons has given of its integrity and jealous protection of the public purse, we regret that this proof has been made in the person of his Lordship, and did not fall to the lot of some man who might be better spared. This difficulty of finding a successor to ViscountMaLvit.ca appears to have greatly alarmed le Ministerial Writers. They ate afraid, th. t, f competent First . Lord of th: th Minister must look to the ranks of Opposition, and a the plan of a broad-bottomed Administration, coin posed of all the talents of Cle country, begins once more to haunt their imaginations. They certainly have some reason ror their feda s. The Opposition themselves consider the present Administration as shaken to its centre, and hope to wound Mr. Pt rTo through the sides of Loid MELV I L LE. But much as we should rejoice to see at the head of the Ad miralty the Nobleman, under woose auspices C - ie navy of England confirmed itself in the soverelnty of the seas, and attained a higher niche in the tem ple of Fame, than it ever filled before, we should lament to find even Earl Sp es ca once more in that high station, were his appointment to injure the chargter ot the vote of Monday night. The blow that struck Viscount MELVILLE, we hope shall never be regarded but as direEled by the hand of national jus tice, and placing England on a level with the purest age of Rome, when the father sacrificed his son to the superior claims of his country. NVith this charaaer attathed to it, the ad will ever remain a monuMene of national pride.' Mix party spirit with the motive. and you degrade this great deed into an af.l of rancour and ingratitude, originating in a paltry squabble for place and pension. From that charader we shall ever stand forward to defend a;.iinst . the attacks of those Jacobin writers who flatter themselves, that because they profess to serve the Minister, their sincerity is not to be 'questioned. Mr. WILIBERIFOSICI, Mr. THORNTON, and others, who contributed so largely to the vote of Monday night, have shewn an early anxiety to preserve the charafter of an a.R in which they considered them selves as sacrificing every.objed -of personal feeling and persnnil ambition, to the 'stern command of justice and the love of their country. It is impossible that so'great and Strong rib as yfrxtount MLL-. vii.xe could be torn out of Asa lion without weakeisiniAilliur; we say, that should Mr. Fox artdhlelittmediatefrieni tif fer.t to consider it as a breach through whiCh they *j. rush in to power,they will finite* loss of V'scounthfut vit.t.amore than compensated bitheincreasedaicieur of one of the majority that concurred in the glcir out vote of Monday night. There is one other view of this event deeply interesting. The external'impression of Viscount MtLYILL es disgrace is much mote im yrtarst than any cOnsequences wbich it can possibly produce at home. Foreign nations, accustomed to see our expeditions and other' military movements through Viscount Mate !Lit, will read this event with surprise, if not with disappointment. France will not fail to call us again a nation of shop keepers, with 'this case before her of a Minister cashiered upon suspicion of using his place for the purpose of filthy lucre, when it was presismcd his heart was filled with ambition, and that he had neither eyes nor ears, nor any other sense, but for his country's glory. If, however, any backwardness shall Ise sally proved on the part of Russia, and other Con tinental Powers, to enter into immediate and aaive alliance against France, let it not be imputed to any waut of confidence in the present Ministry, in consequence of the unfortunate condu 9 of the late Treasurer of the Navy. We have more than once endeavoured to impress upon our readers, and we now repeat, that there is no symptom nor appearance of a continental war. The authority of the French Papers we despise, but the press of the rest of Europe, and in some places it has some pre. tensions to freedom, does not afford the slightest pretext, of Which the most sanguine mind could lay hold, to encourage an expelation of continental warfare. la the Hamburgh Mail due on AVedws day, and which arrived on Saturday, we find, no doubt, some movements in the Russian troops, but they hear no decisive char:lEler of hottility. Por tugal is also said to have purchased a farther respite ' of neutrality, by a fresh sacrifice of money. A letter from Barcelona of the 16th March, status, that Load NeLsoN's fleet was then off that harb,,ar, and 'llw Amsterdam Goatee announces, upon the authority of private letters of the Sloth, from Paris, that 18,000 men had just embarked on board the Brest fleet. This circumstance increases the probability that the demonstration of that fleet on the t7th was not a feint, but a real attempt to put to sea. The Queen and ilenun men of war, appointed to escort the secret expedition, but which sailed in con sequence of the report, that the Brest Fleet had put to sea, have returned to Portsmouth. The arma ment, unless delayed in consequence of the recent intelligence from the West Indies, wiil, of co.irse, sail immediately. A Lisbon Mail arrived ye.terday, bin we have not heard what news it brings. The Baltic fleet sailed tin Friday afternoon from the Nore, under convoy of the Mercator, Joia, and Lord Eldora, armed ships. Admiral Sir Tmomas TROUIRIDGE leaves to.vn this week for Portsmouth, from whence he wil► sail its the Blrott Om, for the East Indies. OM ....Ar• pAßisbfh' F,ISHIONs.
