this week."
1 He late contests ip Spain appear tn take
a more correct form, but we Have such op.
of
posile accounts of the actions, as to oblige
us to refuse anv consent but to the circum
stances that indicate the state of the Span
ish nation. It is agieee that the English
have ceased to co ope ate with the Spani
ards. That the Spaniards after the iai
i* en
gagement with the-French di
rsed in va
rious directions, and that, he French ar.
continually gaining upon the
country. It i«
agreed that the French have entered Valet!
'ta, and have taken possession of
a part of
the coast upon the Mediterranean,
It is
agreed that the council have admitted an
executive department in which the supreme
power is lodged, and that it has been delib
erated in what manner the council
may ro.
treat, in the final reduction of Spain, and
Ceuta has been na i ed as a p ace of safety.
It is believed that a fleet of emntv transport
i
had reached Lisbon, towards which the
English were moving, and it is reported
that an English naval force was assembling
near Cadiz, to wait the event ; and to take
advan'age of the condition of that citv,
should it be obliged to surrender to the
French. From al; these ciuumstaPccs we
are led to expect no successful resistance to
the French in Spain and Portugal.
F-om the North we hear that the Swedes
were alarmed by the naval ib-ce the K
n.
glish had upon their shot es, and were prepa
ring to resist anv attempts upon the navy in
their ports. This unhappy people who
have lost the most valuable portion of tVi
1
country, by engagh g in an alliance with !
j
England, are now ao .rehensive of the last
efforts of British power,
It is however a
'
consolation that whatever i juries Sweden
has received from her alliance with Eng
land, and whatever she mac expect from
the policy of British nav.,1 power, »tu has
known that national mu: ures are not the
sure test of national character, and
Some
of the greatest private ills that Sweden has
felt, have been removed by the generous
virtue which yet lives in the hearts of Free
Britons.

the island will he evacuated, and the plea
continues from the mortality of the troops.
But at the same time we afe told that the
British have an expedition against the Spa
nish islands at the entrance of the Medeter
ranean Sea, and laying between Spam and
Africa. The presumption then is that the
situation of Walchcrin
requires a more
powerful defence than the present use of it
may demand. It is now said the English
have already landed upon several of the A
clria:ic islands, which the Russians received
from the English and which they transferred
to their French allies. We have already
received accounts that the English minister
had attempted to prepare for that event, by
a pretended Turkish minister which resid
ed in the Seven Islands. We arc r.ot infor
med that the English have succeeded a
gaiti5t Corfu, the seat of Government,
luit
aga nst those Inlands which could be capa
ble of no powerful resistance. The pos
session of Cerigo between the Morea and
Candia, roust prevent an easy communica
tion with the French while the Turks hold
the Morea, Cephalonia and Zante lay at
the entrance of the gulf of Lepanto, hut
Ithica, through of less consideration in it
self, is nearest to the seat of the French
government, and to the parts with which
the French have most frequent intercourse.
Cephalonia has not good anchorage for
large ships. Zante has a good port, though
much .exposed to the N. E. wind, the sou
thern harbour not being so good. Cerigo
has its town and fort on the southern part
of-the island, hut the harbour is exposed to
the southerly winds. The population ot

most fruitful and pleasant places, about Uo
miles from Cephalonia,and 30 from Morea.
It lias been called the Golden Island, and
he Venitians have long profited from its
currants. The increase of French power in
Dalmatia, and the extent of the Ad-iatii.
commerce, must have rendered these isl.
.rods important to the English, and they
must be considered as affording the means
of checking the French in this quarter —

Porte resented any imputation ot a design
