immediately proposed measured the Most decisive and eireaual. He saw that the physical resources of Spain were, as at present, thoogh from a differ. ent cause, destined to minister to the hostility of France towards this Country. " Let us," he timid, " strike the first blow ; we are para. mount at sea. Let us send a fleet immediately to intercept her galleons, and prevent her treabures from being employed ,against ourselves. Lose no tAMe r -the wealth of Spain is destined to minister so our foes. It is just in ,England to prevent the '''';'-'etrefeipt s '.'4lstiaterintirist,: by immediate anion, to ps:event is,effedually." On these strong grounds he moved in Council, that a squadron should be sent immediately to the coast . of Spain, and that she shdtild no longer be permitted to observe an in sidiotni neutrality. A proposition which combined " profound wisdom with sublime energy, was not re iiithed by colleagues who had neither ability to cum: preheno his ; policy, no.r magnanirnoes boldness to ;Hoot his lofty tone, SecoodeAl "by Earl Temet.e, only, he was outvoted in the Cabinet, eeLl would no - longer remain in a situation that would make him re. sponsible fin ,measures which he was not allowed to vide. He accordingly resigned. The successors of Mr. Pr r, de(;ellt, common.plece men, suffered the Spanish treasures to reach - Europe, and assist France. The British Ministers were soon driven to the hostility which Mr. Pyrr had proposed to begin, and rendered a late homage to his wisdom by ultimately following his belligerent plans, and employing those Commanders whom he had selefled; and thus men of ordinary talents, succeeding a man of extraordinary genius, through his means and reparations were successful in the contest. • Whatever party differences there might he at thikt time concerning the conduet of Mr. PITT, only one opinion .•remains now, that it possessed that union of genius and, •energy which has ever ben the best defender of 'Britain in trying circum stances, But 4,4 was the duty of a Minister of 1761 to preven't accessions to the strength of the Enemy then, when France had lost many of her valuable possessions, aud . was comparatively weak; Wm( tinder a civilized cr'overnmcnt, and stimulated by .ordinary principles of entaty, .that often ;arise. between Polished natiotr. froul m e re rivalry, how inoch more imperious duty was it in Ministers of 4:803 to arrest supplies on.their way to an Itnemy, powerful 'beyood ell bounds, ,aod with savage fury seeking our eleetru6lion and extermination ? ;---What can 7Ministexs, rleita u justify, or even led: fate their , supineness an, allowitt&a sate conduEt tt treasures .thar. their Arch,gpitny omplpy Ccabititny ?

In dif.".renr Articles from the Coasts of France and Flanders, the preparations for the Invasion are atated to be carrying al) with unabated ardour, and the laur,ch at a few more Boats is triumphantly described; at the aante time., however, they are 0(4 wiOlotit apprtlierisions of a visit front uj, and vreparittiuos for aVoire, as weft. as airaC , # are said ;a be rnaking-ar Dar/Ririe. Thu' most . impxtant intelligence which these rgvcrs howCYerl iS a cettainty tb the Trench Army on the frontiers of Spain is to increased from sixioten or eighteen thousand men to sixty, with a large park of artillery, the destination of which it cannot be difficult to deter. mine. The fate of Part gal, we much fear, isir. revocably sealed if 60,000 Frenchmen enter it, , that Country is ruined and lost for ever. Stain, with her pretended Neutrality, probably will not think it necessary to go through even the form of opposition to this formidable French Force passing through her Territory ; and if she were to do so, it would certainly be of co avail. By listening to and permitting the Neutrality of Spain at all, we have lust the opportunity of seizing the only compensa. lion for this further extension of French power arid French plunder, the treasure: of Spain, which must now necessarily flow into the Exchequer of the First Consul, and enable him to prosecute, without fresh burdens on his own Subjeas, , all the gigantic pro. jeas of his insatiable ambition. It appears that BUNA:'ARTE was expected at Flushing between the ;tub and isth inst, that is, zit this present time. He no doubt comes to accele, rate the preparations for his grand scheme of Inva sion. The Advanced Guard of the French Army will, it is said, issue from the Ports of Duniirk, Nieuport, and Ostend. The French are very atlively employed in en. larging and strengthening the Fortifications of Hameht, from which we may infer that they have nu intention of restoring 11anover again to its Legi. timate Sovereign. The inhabitants of Ostend are so apprehensive of a Bombardment from our Squadron, which is ire. quently seen off there, that many of them have re. moved from the place. MG Matthew's arc very barren of intelligence. They contain a Report from General Beamint, the War 114inisier, respei'Ung some old Colours transmitted by General MoRTIER, which the latter had found in the Military Dep6t at Hanover. The oiportunity could not be foregone, of making some commonplace retnatks unfavourable to the British - Charataer, and of pompously presaging the future glory of the French Arms in the present contest. — These, however, are almost too contemptible for The French Funds were on the zgth ult. at sz. A Lisbol Mail arrived this morning, brought to Falms'uth by the Auckland Packet in nine days, which we ate sorry to.say, conveys very unfavour. ' able and very gloomy intelligence.

In whatever way, however, it - does: entet it, we may consider the Trade of Por. fugal 4111,10 tit to us, entirely, and set that Country down as ruined for. ever. General LASNES, it seems, had dined with the PRINCE RECENT, a circum stance quite unprecedented at the Court of Portugal ; and on the 29th of last month one of his children was chriitened at the Royal PalaCe, and the Reiemt gird his 'Consort were the Spois;ors The Puke ofYork•Packet, which sailed with the Mail on the loth ult. was captured on the t Bth by a French Privateer, and cartied into Vigo., Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, and the Dukes of Kawr and CAttuktorie, attended by the Hon.
