They .hring us, through the medium .of the Itam3urgh Carrespordenw, Paris, news of two e! : p later than any French Papers received in this Country.

An Article, from the liague stater, that by ac. frOID VlistlOVer it has been proposed that the Troops sh3ll he withdrawn from that Coun. ry, and a.Prns,ian Garrison shall take possession .kf it, on, condition that 'the States shall secure to the 1.6,.tin 'Government a yearly payment of Two IVi,llions or }Ayres during the War. This account, it at present stands, we do not think entitled to a..y kind of credit. About folly sail of the Flit arrived yester. thy ifi Yarmouth Roa&i. All the Packets that have ely come from thi rum, have brought over ri own. fixer of Hanoverian SAliers, happy no doubt to es.. t.i,!,,ltorn the odious tyranny of the French. ,Two ilamburV) Malls remain due. 'The Mait of the 17th 1 1IliVed this mor n ., Outind 'the' übvetisiun of the State This, however, may be considered as a fortunate circumstance, as it is the strongest proof or the continuance of the public tranquillity. By the Lidos Mail which arrived yesterday, in. telligence has been received of the Portuguese Go. vernment having acceded to the demands of the First Consul, in consequence of which Don Jon D'AtAtz IDA, Minister of, the, Foreign and War Department, and who was obnoxions to General LASNES, has been dismiited. He is to go to Ger. many with an Embassy. M. Pt NTo,Viscount Blast. MAN is appointed to succeed him for the present. He was formerly Foreign Minister, but has since administered the affairs of the Home Department. Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held upon the Dis patches from Lisbon. By the most recent edvices of authority from Spahr and Portugal it appears that the former is 'to pay a very large annual sum to France, insult of carrying into effeft the Stipulations of the Offensive and De. fensive Alliance of 1796, by which, on demand, the Court of Spain is bound to furnish to France Fifteen Sail of the Line, 18,000 Infantry, and 6000 Caval. ry. It is generally reported that the Sum which Spain is so to contribute is Four Million, Sterling annually. Upon this arrangement it is generally thought that our Ministers will content themselves with considering Spain as Neutral. Though she furnishes France with the means of carrying on the War—Though she suffers French Privateers to carry their Prizes into her Ports, Though, in short, she gives every assistance to France she can afford, be. cause she does not comply (with the consent of the CH I er CoNsul.) with the literal stipulations of this Treaty, and became the Spanish Minister reiterates his assurance of a with for Peace, we are to be satis. fled with a Pacific disposition, and with being told that necessity, not inclination compels the Court of Madrid rd assist our Enemy. Is not this voluntarily taking all the disadvantages of the hostility o f Spain, anal denying ourselves its advantages ? The question respeCting Portugal indeed is said to enter into this temporising policy—but the moment the CHIEF CONSUL'S views are really dire led towards Portugal, (whatever we may do,) Spain will not risque a War with France by attempt. 'ing to save it. If Ministers think they can get any thing by courting Spain, they will find them. selves mistaken—lt would be pardonable in them to suppose their conciliation and forbearance might make an impression on the Court of Madrid, but do they not knew that if it did, the Cut IF CoN. suL would not suffer them to reap the benefit of it ? The Traitor NArria TANDY, it is said, was given up to 'France by the present Ministers to 'soothe the anger of the FIRST CON4UL.—We suppose the ex. traordinay cession of the Cape of Good Hope with a French Army in Holland, must have been made for the same purpose—yet it would be difficult to find, from the Treaty of Amiens to the breaking out of the War, at what moment these conciliatory measure: produced their effeil. Lord HAWKISSURY, we fear, in his intercourse with Spain, is, according to his own idea, mixing " conciliation 'with fironess," hut, as usual, the first ingredient in this excellent composition is so plentiful, and predominates so much, that the last is totally lost and destroyed altogether. IN the a&ial dearth of all important intelligence which has so unaccountably prevailed, acme of our Cotemporaries, with their usual ingenuity, have been endeavouring to excite the interear, or to work upon the fears of the Nation, by fallacionq or ex. aggerated accounts of preparations in the Enemy's Ports, and of determinations made by him which it is morally impossible that any persons in this Country at least should know. It has ever been our rule of condud, to arouze as far as in us lay, the spirit of the Nation, to recommend exertions cons. mensurate to the danger which threatens us, but never to attempt to work upon its fears—so to ad, we are perfedly sensible, is very wrongly to ap. preciate the siirit of the Country and its COMMOn sense. We are now told that tht preparations in the Dutch Porte are enormous, and in such a state of forwardness as to engage the most serious attention of His Majesty'a Ministers. If this be true, His Majesty's Ministers are very highly culpable for having only now ascertained the real extent of the Dutch preparations, for it certainly is not much more than a fortnight since some of those very Ministers assured those about them that they had the most satisfattory imetligence,that the Dutch had peremptorily refused to take any alive part in the meditated Invasion. of this Country. This tepre. sentation of things as then given to His Majesty's Ministers is certainly supprted by every observa. lion that has since hveti nude upon tie state of the tch ts by the Btitish Cruizets, Ind we believe it to he a true state, both of the clicpl.;itiun and the exertions of the Mich, Fin!: iiiiii»rc4l curd Mir') Vli7i 4,7611,13, .4111 kn. rilwl 114 i, 1/CCIS SOSUICH: given as the number not/11;v, but admaqy fitted in the Ara, would so fill that River that our Cruizers could not fail to have seen them long ago—But what is the real truth ? That the Dutch preparations for joining in this mighty Invasion are hardly worth mentioning—By the accounts received by the Ham. burgh Mails arrived only yesterday,' it is very coldly stated that pteparaiiiini were making, and that tweitty.eight Gun. Boats were consttuding at Rater... darn. Had the immense preparations been making, or the force been alreetiy fitted out which has been so idly, and sillily enumerated, (for the purpose we presume of frightening our women and children,) would not the Dutch have taken some credit to themselves with the Cuter CONSUL and the People of France by pompously detailing these gigantic exertions ? The grounds, however, upon which we deny the truth of this statement are better than any furnished by the Dutch or any Foreign Journals. —.-They are founded upon the aaual observation of experienced and intelligent British Officers—Several , of our Cruizers have within the last fortnight or three weeks closely ,inspaled the Dutch Ports, and more particularly the Texel, and their unanimous statement is, unclouded by any doubt, Oat in the Tenet there was nothing like aElivity—and upon shin fad the Public may rely. While, however, we think it our duty to refute exaggerated and fabricated reports, we are far from wishing to relax the vigilance, or to depress the spirits of the Nation. We wish to see the Coun. try support itself in that dignified attitude of de. fence, which it has in some measure attained, more by the patriotism of the People, than by the wis. dom or energy of the Government ; hut upon the question of the. National Defence against the arro. gain threat of Invasion, we look only to the cause of our Country. While we tread this ground we wish to forget the incapacity of Ministers, and their weak and vacillating condua, even on points on which the safety of the Empire most materially de. ponds. Let the noble Volunteers in their Country's Service persevere in their pursuit of acquiring a competent knowledge of military ta!lics and disci pline ; by cilia we do not mean :o insinuate, that many of these National Defenders do not already possess pretensions to the honourable appellation of good Soldiers—we only wish to animate them in so noble a pursuit—let them persevere, and their Country is, by their means, placed beyond the chance of disaster. The formidable state of pre. paration however in which, we now stand, na. totally leads the minds of Englishmen to atftion and enterprize. The National Spirit will naturally languish anti decline, if not fed and supported by exertions on the part of the G.v , :rnrocnt correspon. dent to its vigour. We know what both our Navy and our Army can do when under the direCtion o able and spirited Ministers, and the fillip which even a small enterprize, such as that of last week on the Town and Port of Granville, gives to the Public mind, ought to suggest to Government some greater efforts, or at least a reiteration of enterprizes simi. lar to that. The good effetts of Sir JAM Ca SAU. MAUR 's spirited and successful Bombardment will be sensibly felt by the Islands of Guernsey and Pr. sey. It wilt remove from the minds of the Ihliabi. tants of those Islands all apprehension of their being attacked, and it will shew the People of France that we set at defiance the threatened Invasion of their Great Consul, and must ever successfully defy it, while we can by a small effort destroy his mighty preparations in his own Ports. If a system of offensive Warfare of this nature were pursued all along the French Coast, we have no doubt it would he attended with the very best reels. It would feed the Military Ardour of the Nation and raise the Spirits of the Navy, absolutely drooping from inaction. A Flotilla of Bomb and Gun-Vessels con. tinually hovering on the French Coast, would keep the Enemy in a state of unceasing alarm, and might no doubt often find opportunities of annnoying them with. the greatest advantage. Would to Heaven we had a Ministry capable of wielding with eflea the great means which we poisess, not only for saving the Country, but of extending it, interests and add • . ing to its honour I Yesterday morning Hts MAJESTY, the Dux, of CAMBR I Dal,. anti Princess born in, attended by Lord WA LS I NO HAM, Sir W. and Lily PITT, afICICOI.
