ARRIVED the Prima of Wales Packet, Capt. TODD, fourteen days passage from Lisbon.—Left there the Ira/sin:hap:Packet, which was to sail the 29th ult. The Pristee,of Wales spoke on the 3d inst. lat. so. the Brig Mary, of America, from Liver pool, bound to Lisbon ; and on the 3d inst. in lat. 49. L'lmmortalite Frigate, of 36 guns, Capt. HOTHAM, who had captured a large French Cutter Privateer. The Packet has not brought any very particular news.—Portuguese Troops are daily marching to the Frontiers ; however, they, as well as the Spaniards, appear much averse to coming to anion, and great hopes are entertained at Lisbon, that Peace with France will yet take place. A Portuguese Ambassador was about to sail from Lisbon for France in a day or two from the time of the Packet's sailing. Also arrived, the Brig Two Brother:, Captain Bass, from Bristol, the Fidelity, Captain WI L. LIAMS, from Liverpool, and a Fleet of Vessels with coals from 'Wales, for the Mines. Sailed yesterday, the Yrow Elizabeth, Prussian Dogger, Capt. AKERMANN, for France, and the Prince Adolphus Packet, Capt. JoNEs, with the Mail of the ts't ult. for Lisbon. SHE,ERN.OS, APRIL 7.

Sailed the Ranger Sloop of War ' for Sheerness ; tnd remain in the Downs, the Overyssel, Savage, Good Design, Lod Duncan (Armed Cutter), Pigi iav Lugger, and the BeiVidere East Indiaman, for China. • exTRAcT or A LETTER FROM LARNE, IRELAND, MARCH I+. Early on Friday morning the 2Oth instant, the ship Liberty, of Wilmington, W. Mt MIR master, from New Orleans, with a very valuable • cargo of tobacco, cotton wool, and dogwood, for Liverpool, tame to anchor at the mouth of-this harbour, in a very dangerous situation, near the rocks at Brown's say; it blew a very heavy gale from W.S.W. a ll that forenoon, in the evening it abated a little over the ebb, and a boat went off and left two officers on, board, both good seamen and pilots ;.all that night it continued blowing, and on, the, morning of the Ist it increased to a hurricane, and continued all the forenoon ; at two P. M. the Master, finding his ship drifting towards the rocks, was compelled by necessity to cut away the mizen.mast, for the pre. nervation of the ship and cargo ; at that instant the people from the shore felt the most lively compassion to see so many lives and.so much prOperty in danger, tvhen four skilful shipmasters, James Glasgow, Wm, Jeffeties, Jos. Urell, skipper of the King's barge, and Morres M'Keag, and another, put off in the King's boat, at the imminent peril of their lives,' and by God's mercy got on board, which had they missed they must have gone to sea. Such a reinforcement 'animated the crew, and changed the Master's determination of cutting away the other masts, and though the squalls increased after the boat got on hoard, they stuck to it, and alter cut. ting away one anchor and weighing the other, she was got safe into Port at seven P. M. on the nd, and by the assistance of a borrowed anchor, she is now moored in safety." , The following letter from an Oitcer on board His Majesty's Sloop of War, the Sq.vallo.w, of IS guns, contains a remarkable instance of vile and treacherous conduit on the part of an Enemy's ship : " On lonr.l His Maje.,y's Skip Swallow, Port Royal, Yarn.tica i Feb. 7. Ci We fell in lately with a Spanish Privateer, commanded by French Officers, of io carriage guns and 103 men, who had the temerity to engage tni for half an hour within pistol shot, and in that time damaged our 'sails an& rigging considerably. She no sooner struck her Colours, than she attempt ed to board us on the quarter ; but for this conduft her people met their deserts, eighteen of them being including the Captain, his Lieutenant, and another Officer. There were several' wounded severely, thr e e of whom soon after died on board the Set.4./a/io l a. We had four men wounded, two very badly, but they are beginning to recover." By the Nile Cutter, Captain ARGLES, which ar rived at Ply mout h on Sunday night, we learn that Sir EDWARD PELLEW, with - Four Sail of the Line and Four Frigates, was left, on the Ist inst. off Roche.!;) blocking up two French Men of War, d'74.gunl, and one Frigate, which had sailed from L'Orient in order to join CyTh.vvrit E Ault Squadron; but the batteries so strongly covered them, that no attempt Can he made to cut them out. The Nile passed through the Channel Fleet, off lirest, all well, on the 2d ; And on the 3d spoke AP American from RoChefort, the Captain of which states, that ac counts had been received thue thatGANTHEAVNIE's Squadron was put into Toulon to refit. • PARTS; Mkt,. ti It mppeais eeitiini -that notwith‘tanding the Ar mistice, the communications between Sicily and Malta are very frequent, and every thing proves that Ac-row does not execute the Armistice faith. fully. It is known that this Minister has all his fortune in England, and is not very much at tached to Naples. When he has.atchieved its de strut:lion' he will go on board' l the English Fleet, and at London he will be one of the richest indi viduals in Europe. It is reported, that the English had taken posses_ sion of the Isle of Zante, and of Five Russian Ships of War. The Troops of the Armies of the Rhine, the Gallo-Batavian Army, and the Armies of the Gri sons and of Italy, are in full march on their road home to France. The Army of Observation of the South was on the 24th ult. at Turin. The Armistice has expired. CITIZEN A LQUI ER, Plenipotentiary of the French Government, had arrived at the Head-qunters, where he had several conferences with Chevalier de Mt CH IROUX. The Peace was to have been signed on the 29th or 3oth ult.(tioniteur.) A report prevailed that Portugal had made her peace with Spain. It is reported, that the English Fleet under Sir HYDE PARKER have passed the Sound—that it has presented itself before Copenhagen, and threatened to bombard that City, and burn the Ships in the Port, if the Court of Denmark does not instantly sign a formal renunciation of the Northern Coali tion. LISBON, MARCH B.—The English Charge d'Af faires residing in this City, has restored the Prus sian Ship, which the English Frigate, the Pha e ton, had recently captured and brought into this Port. One of the five Regiments which composed the garrison of this City, and the grenadier companies and chasseurs of four other regiments, set out yes terday : their respeaive Regiments will follow them shortly. All the Portuguese troops in the Pro vinces, as well as three Emigrant Regiments in English pay, have also received orders to march to the Frontiers. The general point of rendezvous is the city of Elva:, and its environs Government has issued orders for the general arniiment of all the - Mips and other vessels of War in our Ports. The English Merchants in this City► are disposing of all their property, either in Funds, Paper, Mer chandise, &c. and converting it into cash. They have offered to the Portuguese Merchants to sell them all their Stores at 20 per cent. below the ma nufaeturing prices. Their haste to negotiate their paper, has reduced our's ; 9 per cent. in three days. APRIL 2. The Minister Plenipotentiary from France to the Batavian Republic has written the following Letter, dated 8 Germinal, (March 29), to Citizen TALLEY RAND : " CITIZEN MINISTER, " A telegraphic dispatch has this moment in formed us, that the English have this night made an unsuccessful attempt on the Isle of Goree.— Their Squadron, consisting of twelve three-masted vessels, is now before Schwefingen. " The Direftory, informed of the new measures adopted by the Court of Berlin against England, have ordered a general embargo for the safety of the Prussian and Hamburgh vessels now in the Ports of the Batavian Republic. gi I have sent Citizen MAURTVAULT for some days to Amsterdam, in order that he may a& in con_ cert wish the Municipality, whose influence on pub lic opinion, in circumstances like the present, you well knoNv. " Health and respect, ,. " SEMONV ILL E." CONSTANTTNOPLE) FEB. 25.—The Porte has just settled the exchange of French prisoners in Turkey for the Turkish prisoners in Egypt. The Ottoman Minister will place among the first some individuals who will probably beset at liberty, with permission either to go to France or to remain in Turkey! General MENoti must have already received in telligence of this determination of the Porte, as well as of the principles upon which this exchange is founded. He must have received a list of all the Prisoners in the Ottoman Empire, together with the rank they have possessed. CADIZ. MARCH 13.—1 t is reported here, that intelligence has been received of the complete defeat of General ADERCROMBY, with the loss of ten thousand men in killed and wounded. This news has reached us by the way of Algiers. APRIL 3. The Treaty of Peace between France and Naples was probably signed on the 29th or 3oth of last Months The Russian Minister, dispatched by the Empe ror PAUL to the King of NAPLES, is arrived at Palermo. It is stated, that he was to proceed to Floraire, fur the purpose of assisting at the Con gress which is to adjust the terms of Peace between France and Naples. APRIL 4.,, We learn from Amsterdam, that they are arming with all diligence in the different Ports on the Zuy_ derzee, a numerous Flotilla, which is to he composed of Cutters, Brigs, Sloops, Gunboats, and Flat bottomed Boats, on board of which theAroops are to be embarked. We are ignorant of thedestf,nation of this armament, the equipment of which is fpr_ warded with unexampled adivity. The Foreign Journals are filled with complaints that the money rising - out of the Contributions im posed upon Germany, had been sent into France in order to pay the Army of the Rhine on their return into the French Territory►. These complaints are wholly without foundation.; Germatv in general did not suffer much from the Contributions ; and the assertion of these Journalists is besides un grout-Zed. For the Army of the Rhine is in arrears seven or eignt mourns. • I ilcbc dirc4,4 diC paid off in France out of the Funds kaised for the year ; and the Direttor of the Public Treasury has already taken measures inconsequence. (Momi:ekr.) BERLIN, MARCH 22.—The rupture of our COurt with that of St. James's is inevitable: The British Cabinet having made no answer to the Note trans. mired to Lord CARYSFORT by Count HAUG IV ITZ, His MAJESTY has declared that the Answer return ed by England to the King of SW EDEN, was,consi dered, by him as personally applying to himself. Prince ADOLPHUS, Commander in. Chief of the Hanoverian troops, sets off for llamburgh to-mor row, whence it is supposed he will immediately proceed to England. Lord CARYSFORT will lose no time in following him ; and has already, discharg ed his Prusiian servants. HAMBURGH, MARCH 25.—The veil is at length withdrawn! A Prussian Courier arrived yesterday to notify to our Senate, that they •must suspend all communication with England, and that the whole of the English property that can be discovered throughout the extent of our territory, must be con. fiscated.—Eight thousand Prussians had received orders at the same time to advance, in order to as sure the execution of this measure. These troops are expeaed to arrive in the cou►se of the day. Accounts are just received, that the English Fleet arrived at the entrance of the Sound. The English Admiral dispatched a Flag of Truce, charged with requiring, 1 sr, The free passage of the Sound for his Fleet ; 2d, That Denmark should withdraw from the Coalition. The English Admiral went so far as to call upon His DANISH MAJESTY to come to a decision within the space of four hours. The King, however, felt indignant at the proposal, and striEtly refused to submit to any such demand. The English Ambassador embarked immediately, and went to join the Fleet that was preparing to force the Passage of the Streight. The result of the attempt is expcded with the most anxious im patience. VIENNA, MARCH appears by letters from Limberg, dated the 6th inst. that the Ad vanced Guard of the Russian Army which is march ing towards Moldavia, had passed the Dneister, and were upon the Moldavian. territory. This Army is estimated at 40,000 men. We hear from Wallachia, that the Troops of PASSWAN OGLOv still continue their ravages in that quarter, and no doubt is entertained that the rebel Pacha has got possession of Bucharest. We are im patient to know how he will behave when the Russian Army shall have penetrated into Wallachia and Moldavia. It is affirmed in Letters from Consontinnple, that the Grand Signor has again offered the Pacha a gene ral amnesty, without effed. . The attention of mankind does not seem to have been sufficiently engaged by the monstrous outrage upon an independent State, manifested in the proposed transfer of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY'S territories to the Duke of PARMA. It is evident, that the EM? E ROR of Germany, never could have suggested a mea sure so unjust in itself, and so injurious to a near re lation. The odious requisition, must have been ori ginally advanced by France, a Government that professes to resped the National will of other States as well as its own, but who in this instance, has consigned a People over like a herd of swinea from a Sovereign whom they loved, to one whom of course they must abhor, for accepting their Country, and trampling upon their Rights, in defiance of Justice, Decency, and Shame. Mr. SHERIAN is supposed to have been severely mortified at the high compliments which Mr. PITT bestowed on the powers (not principles) of Mr. Fox, in a late debate, in representing the latter as the only man capable of making any tolerable stand against the new Administration. Mr. SHERIDAN can therefore hardly be expelled to shew any great tenderness towards Mr. PITT in his proposed In.. • quiry into - tae conduel of the late Ministry.—lt must indeed be owned that Mr. SHERIDAN had some right to look upon, himself as the Leader of his Party, since that Party has so long been deserted by Mr. Fox; but Mr. SHERIDAN has much to atone for to that Party, for having on several occasions presumed to speak the language of Englishvien, particularly in what he lately said respetting our rigkt of ,search, which he expressed an earnest hope thatG the overnment of this Country never would be induced to relinquish. Such .sentiments, of course, must be very offensive to his Party, and, therefOre, it is but natural tbat he should be de sirous of appeasing them by some inquiry or other. Mr. Fox was guilty of his usual inconsistency in being anxious to have the Public understand that he was not in company , with TALL IE N at Drury.. Lane Theatre, as if there would have been some thing disgravfal in the association. Having pro nounced the IFrench Revolution 41- one of the most :glorious fabrics ever tearcd by human Wisdom and rirtue," he ought rather, upon the faith of his own declaration, to have thought it an honour to be seen with one of the principal workmen. If the Danes have aaually taken possession of Hamburgh, they have arrived just in time to assist the 'venerable Senate in defraying the Contribution which the French have taken the liberty to levy on that City, otherwise the demand may be ex tended somewhatfarther into the Dutchy of Holstein. Me Noti's account of the state of the French Army in Egypt is so flattering, that if it could be depended on he would make nothing of the British Troops who are gone to put his strength to• a trial. We may remember, however, that an equally figs tering account was sent from Malta, and Yee; some how or other, with all its natural and militaryOivers of defence, it could not hold out against-thellerse veranee of British Valoar. The Way are already exercising their Amour on the 'purchase of Lord GRENVILLE'S hou s e by Mr. MILES PETEA ANDREWS, and affect to smell a gunpolvder plot. It is well fot certain Females of Fashion that the limishinent of Ducking, recently infliled on a Lad ) of inferior rank at Kingston for (vociferation, is not epctended to the fair visitors of the Opera-House, for in that case the buildit would be ruined by an int,,tdatic4. 1 1. e admirable ocirnic Opera of La Bella Pese a. trice, which was first p er f o rM e d at the Panthrott . , during tire repri.iientatidn of Operas it that pletc:, way revived at this Theatre last night, and through = very t ell ttippottcd: BoLLAtlibugh by no means recovered, was able to play with great vivacity; and to sing with sweet.: ness and circa. Her last song was enccrcd. Mo kELL I played th e . charatler originally perfnrined CIPRIANI, with most diverting efrett and the, ;airs' gave full scope to his excellent voice. RA•tnYtNei and Vt brifioN I gave strdng Aid to the Piece. The Music in this Opera was composed by Goo it ELM' ;,it is altogether grand; forcible and various. One or two of the airs we believe came from MAZZINGHI, The Opera was much applauded; and itsoiiik'i health imprdires; it will doubtless be a favourite Piece. The Ballet of Alonzo and Imegetiei'first preserkted on DI DE LOT'S Benefit, was repeated last night, It has been curtailed, but nothing essential was omitted, —lt Must be Classed with one of the most splendid Exhibitions which this Theatre has produced, The Story, as we before stated, is not observed, but a more close adherence to it would have comprised too much horror for Dramatic re; presentation. There was a numerous Audience, and the Ballet Wa3 received With very. warm ap. plause. DUBLIN, APRIL 3. His Excellency Marquis CoRNWALLIS, held a Privy Council at the Castle on Tuesday, and trans:. aded a variety of business. At the same time a Proclamation was ordered to be issued, offering a reward of tool. for the apprehension of each of the offenders concerned in murdering William Bran_ don, shepherd to MICHAEL /11./RKE, Esq: of Spring, Garden, in the County of Galway, on the night of the t7th of March last: The circumstances relating to this murder arc of a most atrocious nature. h appears the unfortunate man had been regaling himself at a public-house, and going from thence was wtty-laid; shot. in the breast, and his head afterwards severed from his body. On a speculation that the Suspension of the Ha.: beas Corpus Ad had expired, and that the account of its continuance could not have arrived, several OP the State Prisoners on Thursday and Friday caused' themselves to be brought before the. Judges by Ha.: beas Corpus ; but as the news of the Royal Assent to the Suspension reached this city in 4i hours after it occurred; they were 'remanded to their several prisons. Yesterday arrived from England ic:xs of the 214 Light, Dragoons, with ilieir horses; &c. They were immediately billetedmnd found in comfortable quar ters; by Mr. DAwsoN, the Hightonstable. Monday eight the 16th ult. eight villains broke into the house of Mr. Michael Lanagan, near Cahir, , laid him on the floor, put straw under and over him, then set fire to it, and tortured him in such a manner that he confessed he had iso guineas, which he handed them, but he was so shockingly burned that he clied,on Friday; and an Sunday another house was robbed in the same neighbourhood.
