Ann. - - - 6oi H E . • lIOLLM QUIS DICER% PALTUM AIJDZAT ? L 0 N D 0 N, MONDAY, JANUARY Zt, 1805 s A Lisim Mail arrived in town this morning, brought by the 'Diana Packet ; the 'Letters arc dated the loth inst. The only inrtzesting geno they contain is, that a Memorial had been transmitted to the Court of Lisbon by the PRINCE of PEACE, the objeCt of which was to ;miller that Power to shut its Ports against the English. At the date of these adttices no answer bad been re turned. It was expelled at Lisbon that the E►cpe. aition preparing. in England was destined for the rotation of Portugal. ' Tu FRS are now no leas than nine Han:burgh Mail: due : we have, however, received the Dutch Papers `to the t zth inst. but they are' now to com. pletely under the influence, or rather the controul of the French, that the intelligence they contain must be received with considerable suspicion. It it stated in a Letter from Frankfort, that the French Minister, SAL I C STT 1, has, con. eluded a Treaty, on the part of the Imperial Republic,'with the Liguriau Independent Republic, by which the latter , voluntarily consents that all her Porto, Arsenals, and Dock-yards, shall be put in the disposal of France during the War, for the purpose of constructing Ten Sail of the Line, and also to furnish France with 6000 Seamen during the same period. Vie dos not think it necessary at present to occupy the time of our Readers ith any speculation about the Ten Sail of the Line which arc intended to be built ; big with reaped to the six thousand Seamen, we believe the Ligurian Republic will find it very difficult to .comply with that part of the Treaty. It is very svcll.known that great numbers of Gefloti,e Sailura were forced into the service of France at the cortonencement of the War, for the purpose (Smarming the Flotilla, and the French Papers boasted very much of the advan. tage that would he derived from the acknowledged skill of the Genoese Sailors in the management of small vessels. It is probable, however, that this Treaty is not correaly stated in the Dutch Papers : we ettapesft the Ligurian Republic has undertaken to furnish the men 'when the Ship: are built. If this be the case, the stipulation does' not appear so very difficult to be executed on her part. The accounts from Spain, which are evidently of French fabrication, speak of the most Relive and for . nibble preparations for carrying on the War with vi. sour against this Country. Every effort is:making to equip the Spanish Marine, which is now said to consist of no less than SixoPur Sad of the Line. Whether in this number arc included the Ships which it may be in contemplation to build, we are not told ; but we believe the Spanish Government will find it very difficult to ,procure half that number in a state fit for service. It is stated that an attempt Was to be made by the Spaniards to carry Gib. Sakai by a coup dr main. We should have been per. ferny easy as to the result of such an attempt, even if it had been made at the time when the contagion was at the highest ; but now that we know the malady has entirely ceased, and that General Fox has arrived there with very large reinforcements, there cannot he the slightest ground for uneasiness respeaing that .valuable Possession. We have received the .4"Ber;call taps*: to the t sth alt. They contain nothing new, except a re. port that. the French had evacuated the City of St. Domingo, and had surrendered themselves to. the British Squadron cruizing off the Island, Though this circumstance is not stated very positively in the American Ripers, yet we think h by no meant improbable. The last accounts we received from stated that the French force in the city of St. Domingo was reduced to 6ao men, and that DessAtty as proposed to attack it in the course o f the present month. Although the Fte4leil might bi able to resin an assault, yet, without any chance of reinforcements or supplies, they could not hope to Maintain "a siege le r any length of time ; it is, therefore, very probable that General yulthtalo has followed the example of General Roettmapewtr, acti surrendered to the British rather than run the risk of falling into the h,lntis of the Blicks, from wham they cool ~I z..4pe4t no mercy ! The 4-inht-J'‘..44 Paitts are vet) , witty ,it the ex. *glee Witt, LA 111t095 . 11, C4prain oi the French It'igkte Pr.:silent, who,l)ovvevcr,iliinka 4 more to prudent to atly in port and be laueed at, than come out and be captured. The expedatien of a Continental Alliance has been received with universal satisfaftion. The mar. row system of policy which was constantly recom. mended by the Old Opposition during the late War, and which seemed to be adopted by the Govern. ment at the commencement of the present, is now generally relinquished. The influence of Lord GIitNVILLE and his friends has, it seems, induced Mr. Fox to abandon a line of opposition which was equally prejudicial to the interests of the Country, and inconsistent with the extensive knowledge and enlarged views of that experienced and enlightened Statesman. • We have before had occasion to notice, and we do so again with pleasure, that the Morning Chro nicle has followed the example of its old Patrols, in assimilating its Politics to those of :hits new Allies.' We are therefore not at all inclined to be severe upon the long, article which we observe in his Paper of this morning, speculating upon the mode in which the Powers of Europe, and the EMPEROR of RUSSIA in particular, are to carry on the War against France. It must, however, be allowed,that such speculation can answer no good purple ; it would be obvioUsly Wrong,and might indeed be eventually in were the Writers on our side of the question twansvver in detail the misapprehensions which an Opposition Writer may be under as to the intentions of 'oor Government or Allies. It is, therefore, perhaps, hardly fair in an advocate for one side of a question to urge so much when the lips of his opponent are sealed. However this may be, we will not even incur, the possibility of the smallest injury to a cause which we.have so much at heart, by indulginithe tiro. pensity to speculation inherent in all Political Writers; still less by:taking notice of any thing that we may hear .from quarters on which we can rely, as to the real intentions of the Higher Powers. We, there. fore, leave the EMPR,ROIdef RUSSIA and AusTrt I A, the KINDS of PRUSSIA, SWE?eN s , arid:DENMARK, to get our, as they can, of the difficulties into which the Leading Article of The Morning Cbro. nicle has thrown. them this day. But we are asked, " have Ministers any thing like an Army of eo,ooo men ?" Something, we answer, very like it indeed ; besides Cavalry and Artillery (especially the former, the Regitnents ing very nearly complete) sufficient for three such Armies. • We,wonder that it never occurred to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle that, in the present 'state of things, Colonial Expeditions must depend princi. tally, upon the NAVY, and should . any be resolved upOn, need not in any degree at all materially interfere with our European schemes. Surely if we are going to be su 66 treacherous to our Allies" th e y will find it out themte/rves ; or does the Chro. nicler suppose that he knows more about what is going on than the Foreign Ministers at this Court ? Enough of the Chronicle for the present. On Saturday His MAJESTY left Kew for Windsor, accompanied by Gen, SPENCER and suite, The stag hounds and His Majesty's hunters were wait. ing his arrival at Slough; but he did nut judge the ground to be safe for hunting, and proceeded to Windsor. After taking a repast, •His MAJesrY walked through the town to the Horse Barracks, and inspeeted the Blues ; after which he inspected the repairs going on at his lately purchased mansion in Park-street. The QUEEN and female branches of the family arrived at Windsor in tile afternoon. Yesterday morning the ROYAL FAMILY went to Sr. George's Cathedral, where they heard an excel. lent sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. CHAMPNESS, Canon in residence, from the'l3th chapter ut Pro. verbs, and the t3th verse.

It has been very currently reported within these few days, that the Letter from France was a fat-. pry invented for a stotic• jobbing purpose.—We rather believe the retort to be so ; at any rate the receipt of the answer has been acknowledged by the Commanding Qfficer at Boulpgrie, who had orders to he in readiness to receive and instantly forward it to Paris. report was very prevalent at the West end of the town on Saturday, that a most alarming riot took place lately at one of the Parisian Theatres, while Boum...Art.l'z was present, and that the indig nant multitude made an attempt to assassinate the Tyrant, who is become odious beyond description in the eyes , of the people. This report, we. under. grand, utile from 11 very respectable quarter ; but knowing nothing of the fast our-selves, we leave our Readers to pronounce their own judgment upon it. We have only to observe, that it derives some de. gree•of santtion from the information of a Gentle. roan arrived at Portsmouth, from France, who states, that about a fortnight since a geberal discontent pre. vailed in that Country, and that Paris was in the greatest state of commotion, , Gazette of Saturday, contains an account of the Chapter of the Order of the Garter, held at St. Janses's on Thursday last, the particulars of which we have already laid before our Readers.-- Thi only additional circumstance mentioned in the Gazitte is, that a new Statute wait read by the Re.: gisteri by which it is ordained that the said Ordee shall henceforth► consist of the Sovereign and twee. .fy.five Knights Companions, together with such lineal descendants of the late Sovereign, King George the Second, as shall have been eleEted, and may hereafter be defied into the same, always excepting the Prince of Wales, who is a Constituent part of the original Institution.
