from Lisbon, charged with dispatches to
he Government of the- United States,
tom Mr. Church, our consul at Lilbon.
We learn from Mr. Philips, that the
Peace madQetween the Regency of Al
lies and the .Qjeeu of Portugal, was
wholly effected without her knowledge
or consent, by the agents ot the Britta
and Spanish courts. That the Captain
of the Portugyefe frigate who hadlrought
the news of the peace into Lisbon,firft ob
tained it from an Algerine cruiser he fell
in with, and who produced him his au-'
hority for the peace, being papers signed
)y the British and Spanifn agents ; upon
this the frigate quitted her station and
went into port, where the Captain was
immediately imprifon^d for having done
0.
Mr.'Phflips further adds, that it was
currently reported, and generally believ
ed in Lisbon, that her Majesty of Portu
gal would immediately order a 60 gun
(hip & a frigate, to cruise off the Streights
mouth, to proted the vessels of the Unit
ed States, bound to and from tier ports.
Weare sorry to add to the foregoing,
that nine American vessels have been
seen in the Mediterranean with Algerines
On board; who were taking them into
their ports.- One of these unfortunate
vessels is said to be the Nancy ot Phila
delphia.
THE Editor of the Mirrour
with grateful pleafare presents his nume
rous patrons, with his compliments; on
the commencement of a New Year ——
That it may prove an auspicious, happy
year tc all, is his ardent wiih ~ ——But,
should he, on this happy occasion, remind
those who have not yet fettled for the last
year's papers, that their accounts are' all
made out— he hopes they will not be of
fended- But, on the contr^y, that they
will cheerfully call and havetheir respec
tive accounts for the OLD year crossed ;
thereby enabling the Printer, with heart
felt Joy, to congratulate himfelf with the
Profpea ot a Happy New Year ,
The plentiful product of the last year,
ought to inspire us with an exalted grati
tude to the bobntitul Giver of all good
gift——May the present prove not less
favourable I —Yet, while recounting
the bleffirigs to the Farmer of a plentiful
Harvest, the Printer—with sorrow in his
heart—is FORCED, much against his in
clination, to lament the WANT of
Wood, Rye, Corn,Wheat, Oats,

—And of all those who are not willing
to.difcharge their last year's accounts,
with some of the above articles, in the
course of FOUR weeks, CASH will be
expeded—as fleigliing is the only con
venient time for transporting produce >0

have paid up theirlaft year's accounts, the
Printer is particulaily 'thacktul—and to
the publick he is grateful, for the liberal
Encouragement he has received since his
commencement in business—He assures
them, that Pun&uality on the part of his
Employers, .ivill enable him to persevere

plenipotentiary, and who with an air of
triumph fully relied on a revolution in
England."'.:
Not having quitted the fide of M. de la
Fayette, from the commencement of the
revolution to the time of his imprison
ment, I can affirm, that the assertion is
falfe, and that M. la Fayette never sent
Mr. Semonville either to England or Ire
and. A humane people will certainly
not think it generous to strive to persecute
a man, who has for more than a twelve
month groaned under the meft rigorous
fetters, for having been the most faithful
defender of the Cpnftitution of 178). A
free people will fee with equal pain, the
many repeated attacks that are made on a
man, who has employed his life in the de
fence of Liberty. I am your humble
