T E SUN. si)LEM QUIZ DICI.XX FAX.SLIM AurizAT LONDON, 3 . 4INUARY 18, 18c+. WE were happy to learn yesterday, that His MA- . Pti,TY was in good health and spirits, though still lame. with, the complaint in his foot, which is now pronounced to be a slight ttffeelion of the thet;matic .gout. It was thought adviseable that His MA pisTy should not attend the Drawing.rootn this day, and accordingly we find that he did not leave Buckingham House, where a vast nutni;.tr of the No. bility, &c. paid their . respeas to His MAJEsTy be fore the Drawing-room commenced. A selca Party will pass the evening at the Queen's House. Wiz have not been amongst those who have been forward, by the repetition of every rumour, to agi. cite the public mind, werk, after week, and day a fter (lay, upon the grand suliea of the Invasion ; but within these few days we have received such reiterate.? icforrnation, coining through highly respeClA,le channels, that we seriously begin to ditok it will be speedily artempied, if it ever .is attem e ted at all. .Flusk , g is the grand rendezvous of the invading Force. There are there assembled a very great number of large Dutch Merchantmen fi+tcd up as Transport s ;• there and at Rotterdam toge ther,, nearly two hundred sail, each capable of Con. raining from three to five hundred men. There are at Rotterdam and Flushing two 74, and two 6 0 -gun Ship., for the purpose of escorting this Flotilla and though a wetk ago there were - not Troops sum. cien' upon that part of the Coast to fill these Vessels, there can be no doubt but enough could in two or three d.,ys be drawn together for that purpose. We shall probably soon hear of the First Consul visited Flushing, and of an Embarkation huvit;g commenced. His language we understand is, that give him four days of such weather as, lie would choose, that is, foggy weather, and he wi!l be in London. Su - zh vain boasting we can de_ vise, but not so the information which we now have the means of conveying with respcft to the probable intentions and movements of the Ene my. Our Readers may depend upon the Intelligence we now convey bring the latest received both by Government and Individuals, and I.4rhiels we understard makes a strong i c opression with tr.. weft to the probability of an immediate, or at least a speedy attempt. The Boulogne Fio. tilla ivill probably come out by way of diversion upon the Kent or Sussex - Coast, but a few of our Cruizers we consider as perfealy equal to give a good account of them. T/I E Da/in Mail of ;he t4.!fl instant arrived this morning. It brings 4 the intelligence that Sir ROB ERT CALD ER'S Squadron had returned to Bantry Bay. He had been off Brest, it is said, during the short absence of Admiral CORNWALLIS. He must, however, during the severe gales which drove the gallant Veteran into the Channel, have kept a large offing ; but his keeping at Sea in such tempestuous weather at. all, is another proof of what British Seamen can acccomplish. Yesterday • His MAJESTY was much better ; great numbers of the Nubility and persons of dis. tintlion made inquiries after His MAJESTY'S health. The DUKE. of YORK and Mr. ADDINGTON waited upon HIS MAJESTY at nine o'clock. PRINCESS SOPHIA Of GLOUCESTER visited HER MAJESTY. His MAJESTY transaaed military business with the DUKE of YORK on Monday, signed several Com. missions, &c. The DUXES of Yoxic and KENT dined with THEIR MAJESTIES. In the evening THEIR MAJESTIES, had a %cleft party to tea ; among the company were the PR IN- C ESS SortitA. of GLovesstErt, Marchioness of BATH, Lady WALD EGRAVE, Miss DEE, Earls MORTON and EFFINGHAM. His Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK held yes terday a Military Council at the Horse Guards : Lord Hos ART, Mr. YORKE, and the SECRETARY at WAR were present. A Board was held yesterday at the Admiralty, which sat till near six o'clock. Earl ST. V;NCENT presided. Expresses were afterwards sent off to Plymouth and Portsmouth. The Duke of RI cHmorro . tiesided at the Sessions for the Western division of Sussex yesterday se'n. night and Wednesday last, and paid so much atten tion to the business before him, that on the first day his Grace sat from ten in the morning till eight at night, without quitting the Court or taking any refreshment. A Bridge is immediately to' be thrown across the Canal in St. James's Park, with a Milititry.Way from the South Side to the Palace, so as to afford a dired passage to the Troops, in case of any emer. gency. Yesterday evening at six o'clock, the Countess of TALBOT died at her residence in Doke-street, Grosvenor-square.' Her complaint was an . inflam mation in the bowels, with which she was attack. ed in the morning, and which, in a few blurs, made such rapid progress as terminated in .her dissolution, at the early age of, forty-three. Her Ladyship was daughter to the late Earl of HILLS. Boitoucti, and sister to the last Marquis of Dowx. MILE, as well as the present Marchioness of SALM BURY, and mother to the existing Earl of TALsor. Some circumstances relative to the Negotiation between France and Portugal, with respett to the Neutrality of the latter, have been received in this Country by the last Packet. Two Conventions.have been entered into, one of which has been made at Lisbon by General LASNES with Don Jose MANI.; EL PINTO, who was appointed Portuguese Minister at the Court of Stockholm, and was lately invested by the Regent with powers to treat generally, but more particu larly for negotiating the Convention with General LASN ES. The' sum stipulated in this Treaty as the price of the Neutrality.,o,, ', Portugal, is said to be seventeen millions of fran cs., ...The other Con. ,tention is stated to have been made at Paris, by the Portuguese Minister, DON Jose MARIA DE SOUZA, and is represented to be much more dis. advantageous to Portugal. It is, indeed, thought that it will be set 2side,- and that of LASHES established. Soine popularity seems to have been acquired by LAsig ES, in consequence of this expe&a titgt ; which, it it should be realized, will strengthen the conjeCture, that the whole affair . is a ma ncguvre for that purpose, and, et the same time, to obtain a commission of 2 per cent. which, it is believed, he either has received,'or is to receive here'after. ,The Convention agreed upon at Lisbon was signed between the 16th and zoth of December; a n d on the zeds, about sixty of the most respeClable of the native Portuguese Merchants were summoned to repair immediately to the house of the - Mini ste r of 'Finance. The greater partr accordingly went, but some declined the visit.' The Minister intimated to those who went, that the PRINCE REGENT had finally settled with France the terms on which his Neutrality might be preserved; and that as - the Merchants would derive the greatest benc6ts there from, His Royal Highness expeCted that they would come forward and supply bins with the means. The mode 'was not explained, hut it was supposed he meant in the way of Loans. The business was re commended to their serious consideration. The Merchants' answer had not been given in at the de parture of the Packet; but we understand that con. iderable dissatisfaCtion prevailed among them on account of other bodies not 'being equally called upon, particularly the Clergy and the Nobility. The Prisoners on board a French Sloop captured a few days since state, that .there arc between. Du nkirk and Eraple's not less than iooopoo men encamp ed in different' di v isions. There are also 800 vessels of different sizes in BJulogne harbour, but the nr. jority in France cry out against the war. The Soldiers in general. are very much discontented at their inaftive situation, but they rely on Boutir ARTS heading them in person. They acknowledg e , t h at if they should be so unfortunate as la fall in at sea with our British Tars, they must inevitably be Their only hope is that they may get over unper, , cejved, and these' d e lud e d men enterta i n no (10:4,t should they m a ke goo d t h e i r l ar di ng, that the . ) , c a p Conquer the Country.

Not so the British Muse—Tho' rude Her voice to Grxcia's tuneful choir, By dread, by danger unsulxlu'd, Dauntless she wakes the lyric wire : So when the awful thunder roars, When round the livid lightnings play, The Imperial Eagle proudly soars, And wings aloft her daring way. And, hark ! with animating note, Aloud her strains exulting goat, While pointing to th' inveterate host, Who threat destrudion to this envied coast : "Go forth, my Sons—as nobler rights ye claim, " Than ever fann'd the Grecian Patriots' flame, • 4 1 So let your breasts a fiercer ardor feel, " Led by your Patriot KING, to guard your Country's weal." 111.

Thro' Albion's plains while wide and far Swells the tumultuous din of war, While from the loom, the forge, the flail, From Labour's plough, from Commerce' sail, AU ranks to martial impulse yield, And grasp the spear, and brave the field, Do weeds our plains tincultur'd hide ?-- • • Does drooping Commerce quit the tide * ?

Isth. Ode viii. $ Ibid. TH EOr R A.—Signora GRASSI xi made her second appearance last nighs at the King's Theatre, in the new Opera of La Vergine del Sole. Her cold is abated but not removed. She gains upon the audi. ence, and as her professional exertions are in unison with feeling, she will most probably secure her hold upon the public. She has the rare excellence of singing in tune, 'and her graces- are regulated by taste. The charming duo between her and VicA. Notli, in the second ad; went home to the affec tions, and was encored. The Divertisement again presented DES HAyEs and his wife, PAR !SOT, the LAsoa t ES, &c, who were all, well received. Them. was a tolerably numerous audience, : • COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.--Last night, the second pait of 'King Henry the Fourth was at last brought forward at this Theatre, and in a . manner highly creditable to the Manager and the Per formers. Coot E's PWittlic has in our opinion many solid claims to approbation.—lf he does not possess the rich humour which some.of the facetious Knight's former representatives were gifted with, he has the merit of discrimination and manly sense. He is, however rather sparing of his stuffing. staff': belly seemed last night as if the fat Knight . had fasted for a month. KEMBLE gave great effed to the charader of Ilenry . The proud mind of the King Sinking under the languor of disease, was happily pourtrayed, - and 'the impressive solemnity of his manner in. the scene with the Prim'', of Wiz/eh - strongly excited the.feel. ings and the ihilause of the audience. Mr. C. KEMBLE represented the Prince with great spirit and propriety —MuNDEN was irresistibly laughable in Shallow, and all the other parts indeed were most respectably supported. The dresses and scenery Were splendid and appropriate. Mrs. MOVNTAIN being too much indisposed to -perforin last night at Drury-lane Theatre, in .The 11 1 ;fe of Two Husbands and Cinderella, her part in the former .was supplied by Miss WErawcm7H, anti in the latter by Miss fitcavi.
