Peace with Portugal.- -
"The Directory have announced to
the Council of 500 a Treaty of Peace
with Portugal. ‘lt has been entered
on, difcufied and completed in 6
days. The Council, in a secret
fedion, has deliberated on it.—lt is
{aid to be advantageous. France is
to be treated better than the most
favoured nation j;—commerce is to
be reciprocal ; and it-is whispered
that Portugal is to cede part of
South-America to the Republic, and
pay 1o or 12 millions livres. As
nothing official has transpired on
this fubjeét, we muit rely on rumour
only. - L’Eclair,
if the treaty with Fortugal has
been completed it 6 days ; certainly
the negociations at Lisle, which have
occupied more than a month, ought
to be near a conclusion.

. THE contest between the Direc

arrests almost all our aitention.—
We think little of Lisle or Udina ;
and less about the Englifk opera

one has his opinion ; and every one
is free in his censure of one Wdy or
the other. The armies have, in vio
lation of the Constitution presumed
to become deliberate bodies, and have
fulminated addrefles against the Coun

THE Marquis 1 Gavrvro, has
this moment arrived here from
Udma. - The negociations for peace
in Italy, meet with great difficulties.
he French require that Mantua
&be united with the Cifalpine
Republic, though it was at firft ftipu
lited to be given to Aultria. On
the part of the French, it is said, that
the Emperor having given his con
{ent'to the establishment of a new
Republic m Italy, its very existence
depended on having Mantua for a
frontier fortrefs’; the Emperor there
fore must tacitly accede to the ceflion
of Mantua, for which he receives a
fuflicient indemnification -in Iftria
and Dalmatia. As these and many
other difficulties have arisen, and the
heufe of Austria cannot be expedted
easily to abandon its great interests
in Italy, we are not without our fears
that hostilities may again’commence.
Gen. Mack, who has been sent
with strong reinforcements to the
Italian army, is already arrived at

the Council of 500, has reorganized
‘the National Guards, and officered
them, They consist of 1572 men,
artillery, cavalry, and infantry.—
This neceflary aé gives uneasiness to
the Directory. Why, wg cannot
tell! But they fay, it is unnecessary ;
as the Direftory will prote& the Le
siflative bodies. To quiet alarms,
the Executive have ere¢ted a series of
wooden posts rournd Paris, at the dis
tance of the fix myriameters prescri
bed by the Constitution ; within these
limfts no troops can pass ; but it is
said a cordon-wili* > formed on its
extremities.

EXTERNAL CONCERNS.
Avc g.
Gen. Buonaparte writes from Mi
lan, Aug. 1, that Gen. Gentilli, with
the flotilla from Venice, arrived in
fifteen days at Corfu, took pofleflion
of the forts, finding 600 pieces of
cannon, &c. Ie was welcomed on
thore by enthusiastic shouts :—com
plimented by the Papa, (or Bishop)
who surprised Gentilli with shewing
him Hoemer’s Odyfley. Trees of
Liberty have been planted every
where, and the isles of Zantes,Cepha
lonic, St. Maure, and the cape of
Montaffau, will all be allowed to taste
French liberty.
[Corfu, is a considerable island,
subject to Venice—and an important
port in the Adriatic.’ It formerly
belonged to Naples. It lies near the
coast of Epirus.] -
It is said to be fa&, that the naval
secret expedition at Breit, so much
talked of, is not a mere ruffe de gucrre;
but that 16,000 of Hoche’s men are
going thither to embark. If this be
fa&, we have little to expe& from:
Lisle, like a speedy peace.
At Rome, it is affirmed, a revolu
tion has been effected ;—that the
people have chosen a Senate, which
exercises the government ; and that
the Pope is considered no other than
as an ecclesiastical officer.—Tliis is
aflerted by the Moniteur, and other
papers ; and contradi&ed by the Re
dacteur, which however admits that
Rome is much agitated. '
LA FAYETTE.
A letter from Ratifbon, dated Ju

Maubourg, who Mas asrtived here on
her way to Vienna, where she inten
ded to solicit the release of her Luf
band, and of the Marquis La Fay
ette, on the receipt of some letters,
set out yesterday for Dresden ; and
we now learn, that the Olmutz pri
{oners have at length been set at li
berty, and are now on their return to
France by the way of Bohemia.
AUGUST 12.
The {quabbles between the Coun
cils and Diretory are not termina
ted ; but on.the contrary appears to
gain strength from age. Every thing,
however, remains calm in Paris. The
loth Aug. pafled over like any other
day, excepting that it gave a britk
circulation to rumours and reports.
Avcust 13.
The treaty obliges Portugal to
admit no more than fix ships of war
into the port of Lisbon, and in her
{maller ports, only three thips of war,
belonging to each of the beligerent
powers.—lt may be seen, that as
England has no allies who fends
ships into those "parts, this article is
very advantageous to France ; since
6 French, 6 Dutch, and 6 Spanith
{hips, may be at Lisbon at the fame
time, against 6 Englith.—lt is also
known, that the Englith bhave no
other harbours in those seas, while
¥rance has thofe.of Spain ; thus it
was of great consequence to insert
_the article by which Portugal enga
g ﬁfs to'admit no prizes taken by the
ihips of war or privateers, into her
ports.—They even go so far as to
prohibit the sale of merchandize that
is captured on board a ship. ‘

AUGUST lIQ.
It is rumoured at Paris, that it has l
been agitated in a secret committee |
of the council of Ancients to put in I
force that article of the constitution,
which authorifes them to change the |
place of their fitting to some other |
part of the Republic.
As on the one hand, the French
Directery. have violated the conititu- |
tion by their military manceuvres, {0 |
on the other hand, the legislative body, I
in afluming to themselves, the right !
ed on the perogatives of the Execu- ‘
of eftablithing a military guard and
of appointing the ofiicers who are to
command it, seem to have entrench
tive power. How far they may deem |
themselves juftified by the neceflity |
of the case, and on a principle of .
felf-defence, is another question. But E
it is a necessary consequence, that |
where a constitution is formed upon 5
abftra@ principles, without any at
tention to the state of society, or any |
regard for experience, the bounda- ‘
ries of power will remain undefined,
and perpetual contests and confufion |

ance of- even a disposition to alter
their situation.
AUGUST I§. :
Government received yesterday a
dispatch from Paris, announcing the ‘
fatt of a treaty of Peace having been
concluded hetween the French Re- '
public and the court of Lisbon ; and !
early this morning, Mr. Brooks, the !
meflenger, arrived with dispatches
from Lord Malmefbury, respecting
the fame event, and the effec it has
had on the state of the negotiations
-at Lisle—No communication is al
lowed between the veflel that brought
over Mr. Broeks and the people on
vfligre. 7 . . :
“LORD Sr. VINCENTS FLEET.
- Lord St Vincents fleet is still off
Cadiz. The four Spanith ships which
were taken in the last battle, are
manned and repaired, and make a
most refpeétable figure in the British
between France and Portugal having
been concluded without the interfer
ence of our Cabinet, and in cppofi
tion to its views—it indicated a feel
ing of national degradation truly
humiliating, The funds, of course
experienced a considerable fall. The
3 per cents, left off yesterday at sot
and opened this morning at 503 & .
The terms of the Peace concluded
between France and Portugal, not
having been publithed, %ere is rea
son to believe that the Treaty con
tains no stipulations peculiarly fa
vourable to the former; or prejudici
al to this country.~ Indeed, it is
{carcely probable, that with an Eng
lith army on shore, the Portuguese,
even if they were {o inclined, would
consent to any conditions hostile to
us.
The Portuguese cannot have the
least occasion to conclude a difhon
ourable, or disadvantageous Peace.
Their commerce is entirely protected
by the Britith fleet ; and they could
not have much to fear from the
Spaniards by land.—The probability
is, that the French have purcha/ed the
Peace, and dire&ted their scribblers
unofficially to trumpet forth its ad
vantage to the world, to influence
the negociations at Lisle. He must
be a feol indeed, who dees not know
that nothing in the political slate of
Portugal could force her to {o hasty
a treaty as has been made.
If the peace between Portugal and
France turns out any thing f{imilar
to their war/dre, it will add to the
memorabilia of modern events ; for
the twe puiflant powers, in the four
years severity of their wrath, have
never fired a single shot at each other,
by sea, or land !
It is sac, that the value of 70,000 l
has been lately sent to Lisbon, in
warlike stores-and ammunition, which
that-Court preferred to a remittance
in specie. These were well charged ;
and they form the only part of the
200,0001. voted by Parliament,
which has been paid out of the
Treasury.

- plied with warlike stores from Gib

. Lord Dridport’s fleet off Brest,
contains twenty fai! of line of battle
ships, eight of:them above 74 ouns.”
Two other ships belonging to
Rear Admiral Sir Roger Curtis’s
{quadron, are expe&ed at Spithead i
as soon as the wind fthifts, which,
after having taken a {fupply of pro
visions and stores, are to relieve Lord
Bridport, off Brest. :
¢ AUGUST 17,
A meflage arrived yesterday from
Lord Malmefbury:—A cabinet coun
cil was held; but the fame fecreiy
which has uniformly been preserved
on the subject of the negociation shuts
up every source of information as to
its progress. ‘No papers were al
lowed to come from the veilel.
The precise distance from London
to Lisle, is 151 miles.
If the expedition from Brest should
have Ireland for its obje, the force
there is fuflicient to give a good ac
count of them, there being now in
arms 1 that Island, no less than
98,000 men, composed as follows :
Regular troops 40,000
Militia e - 24,000
Yeomanry corps - 34,000 .
Total of military force 98,000
The arrival of the rich Jamaica
trade is a happy event for the mer
chants. It confilts of 128 fail, 78
of which werec bound to London.
They failed from Cape-Nichola-Mole
the 2gth June, and have had the
quickest paflage for a convoy.
We are happy to learn, that the
most perfe& harmony, good disci
pline, and decorum, prevails in all
the ships in this squadron, owing to
the humane, conciliating, and judi
cious treaiment to the people, by Sir
Roger Curtis, and the officers under
his command.

ADJUDICATED PROPERTEY.
A number of merchants who had
claims on the Britith government for
property some tirne since adjudicated
by the British, have received by the
.Galen and Minerva very fatisfaory
accounts. Mr. Bayard has inform
ed them that he has received from
the Britith government £ 34,443.
8%, sd. sterling. PBills are now draw
ing for the amount. A letter from
a respectable American in London,
fays, e
‘¢ I wrote you by the Belvidera,
about 10 days since, to inform you
that the monies awarded in several
cases, had been paid by this govern
ment. I have {ince authorifed the
individuals to draw on me here for
their refpettive sums. The Board
of Commiflioners will not meet again
until the Ift of November. So far
as we have progrefled, all has turned
out well. Gop grant the termina
tion of the business may be equally
favourable.” .
UNFAVORABLE CIRCUM
STANCE.
In the British Court of King’s
Bench an a&ion was lately brought
against the Underwriters to a Policy
of Insurance on an American veflel,
called the Commerce ; for the re
covery of the sum insured, the veflel
having been captured, carried into
France, and condemned for lacking
a “roll d’Equipage.” ILord Kenyon
decided for the defendants;;fon the
principle that the vessel \gas war
ranted American, and yet was defi
cient of documents, made neceflary
by treaty to identify the property :
Thus establishing a precedent which
will operate very unfavorably to ship
owners who have loft veflels, not
furnifhed with that paper, and who
have insured them. .
