It is impossible to convey any adequate

Many think the Peace between Portu

allies to attend to, we may certainly hope
for overtures, more according with the
difpofitioa and interest of our govern

PARIS, AUG. IJ
One more step is made towards the
general pacification ! One ally taken
from England ; one branch of the coa
lition cut off ; one additional motive for
believing that the negotiations at Lisle
5 will $e foccefsfu! { of, at lead, that their
progress will be more rapid—ln ihort, a
treaty of peace has been concluded be
tween the French Republic and Portu
gal. ;
This treaty appears to be very advan
tageous to France ; among many arti
cl, relating to a trade of which France
had never yet partaken ; since ihe is treat
ed better than the most favored nation^
force every thing favors reciprocal Im-'
ports, and the balance is all in favor^
* France, who drinks none of the wines
, of Portugal, while Portugal consumes &
considerable quantity of French wines
face Portugal accords a diminution of
the duties on importation ; it may be
farther remarked, how much we are fa
vored in many other refpeas. — • 1
This treaty obliges Portugal to admit
no more thin fix mips of war into the
: port of Lisbon, and in her fuller ports,
only three (hips of war, belonging to
each of the Belligerent Powers.—lt may
be seen, that as England has no allies
who fend flhips into those parts, this arti,
de is very advantageous to Frar.ee ; since
fix French, fix Dutch, and fix Spanish
ships, may be at Lisbon at the fame time,
against fix English. It is also known,
that the English have no other harbours
in those seas, while France has thofeof
Spain ; thus it was of great consequence
to infcrt the article by which Portugal
engages to admit no prizes taken by (hips
of water privateers, into her ports.—
They even go so far as to prohibit the
sale of merchandize that is captured 00
/aboard a (hip. , . +

encouraging to the narion^^

That celebrated epoch, tle loth Aug.
which each of the parts has to much catle
to recolleft, wes expeaed by fom, with
great impatience, and as much dreaded
by others, who w°re apprehensive that it
was defined tor great events. The hopes
on the one hand, and the terrors on the
other, were equably unfounded: the day
passed over with the titmeft tranquility.
There was not the felt symptom of
commotion, nctwirhftanding a consider
able number of men, whefe dress and ac
cent announced that they were from the
provinces,, were noticed in the public
places. The apprehensions which have
been entertained by the public, are, how
ever, far from being subsided, on this ac
count and the division between the two
powers is still as noticable as ever, the at
.tempts to bring abouta reconciliation
haying been altogether unfuccefsfuL ,
I; appears certain that 10,000 men
from the army of the Sambre & Meuse,
who were to have arrived at Rheims yes
terday are going to Brest. Other de
tachments are repairing thither by other
routes. Thefsmovements appear to an
nounce the execution of the long project,
ed maritime expedition as at hand ; a
circumstance which makes us apprehen
sive that tlw itegotiations at Lisle are not
in fech a for ward ft ale as all France wifi
them to be. In fplte, however, of these
hostile appearances, we still preserve the
hope that peace is not far off

About the middle of Jone, the in
habitants of the Natchez, becom
ing impatient of the delay on the
part of the Spaniard# in delivering
up the Pofli, formed a regular mi
litary force, of about ten comp#,
niei, and iovefted the house of
Gov. Gayoso, although Mr. El
licott used every exertion to re
strain them from proceeding to of
fenfive operation?. This attack,
which wa# made with a view of
forcing the Spaniard# to abandon
the Natchez, ended however, by
Mr. Ellicott's amicable inter
ference, who prevented the menac
ed hostilities, and obtained from
the Governor a promise to fufpeod
the military government of that
diftria—and that the inhabitants
should be considered in a state of
Neutrality, until the pofta were for
mally delivered up. Gov. Gay-
OSO and Mr. Ellicott were, dur
ing these proceeding#, and have
ever since been on the most friend
ly footing. ~
About the 20th of July, Gov.
Ga,o(o received notice of fe pro
motion to the government of Lou
ifianir, and of the appointment of
Mons. Grandpres to succeed
him at the Natchez. According
ly, the former arrived in New Or
leaps on the 6th ult. and took pof
feffioa of his government. At the
period of the commotions at the
Natchez and ever since, Governor
Ga,ofo reiterated hit promises of
a speedy evacuation of the Natch
ez $ and Mr. Ellicott appeared to
entertain hopes of succeeding with
out much further delay ; but our
correspondent conceive, that those
hopetyere very illufire, and that
the ports will net be delivered up
before a general peace takes place,
