The late arrivals at Boston have brought
intelligence from London to the sth ultimo.
An alarming conspiracy in Portugal had
been discovered and frustrated by Lord
Wellington. Two hundred of the Portu
guese nobility had laid a plot to blow up
the magaaines and fortifications of Lisbon,
Ind massacre the English; and at the
W- same time, Massena was to attack the ar
my on the frontiers The plot was disco
vered, and the conspirators arrested and
shipped to the African coast. A squadron
of six sail of the line and four frigates was
* frustrated in an attempt to get out of Tou-.
. lon, by a British fleet of inferiour force.
Certain accounts had been received in Lon
don that Lucia* Bonapabtx had put

passed over In .silence by * government in

it wa< proper that whatever went to sus

Prompt as this notice is, it will barely af

The greediness of ambition, as well as of
avarice, often makes it blind to its own in
terest. It has been remarkably so with
Napoleon, as respects his perfidious usurpa
tion of the crown of Spain. Previously to
that black and villainous deed, his will had
been as omnipotent in Spain as in France.
The Spanish Court bad sacrificed its fleets,
its armies and its treasures to serve him.
The mines of America were drawn into
hie coflferi. He had every advantage from
that country which the completes! conquest
of it could give him. But his blind and fu
rious ambition urged him on to a step, by
which those advantages were lost to him,
and will be lost to him forest*. The at
tempts he has been -making to conquer
Spain, have cost him already more lives,
perhaps, than all iiis other conquests put
together. And what has he affected f The
impoverishment and devastation of a coun
try that had given the sinews of strengh to
his own arm ; the destruction of miriads of
Spaniards, who had held themselves in
readiness to fight his battles, and actually
did every thing else for him but acknow
ledge him as their sovereign.
After all, Spain is not conquered ; nor in
all probability will It be conquered in/tef,
" We have an official account from our
Consul at Tunis, of the seizure of all Ame
rican property at that place by the Bey.
The cause is this—an American ship, the
Liberty, of Philadelphia, having been taken
by the French, and sent into Tunis, was
there, without any legal condemnation
taking place, sold to a Tunisian mer
chant ; from thence she proceeded to Mal
ta, where she was seized by the former
supercargo, as never having been legally
condemned. The Bev, upon hearing this,
ordered all the American property in Tu
nis to be seised, declaring that he would
have his flag and the rights of his mer
chants respected, without, at the same
time, having any respect for national jut-
Hee, at the honour of our flag. How this
business will end I cannot as yet say, but
Money must come from some quarter, as I
understand the Bey Is very much in want
ofcash, which certainly is a bad symptom.
The account of the -firing into the Vixen
has just been received, but is not generally
known : it has not produced any great
sensation."
" We do not think we ever saw it so
good, and we have no doubt it will prove
a full average crop, and fit for immediate
use; and these observations being applica
ble to both Scotch and Irish wheat, is a
very material consideration in this market,
as the wheat from Ireland and Scotland
have, generally encumbered the ware
houses from year to year, instead of coming
into immediate use ; and we have nu doubt
but we shall soon get considerable supplies
from thence, and that the quotations of
wheat here at 145,—14«. 6d. and flour 60«.
—43*. will be of short duration."
We learn by the Baltimore paper that
the Essex frigate is to sail immediately
from Hampton Roads, for France and Eng
land, with despatches from Government.
Lieutenant Grayson, of the Marine Corps,

" We have had as fine a harvest time in
these kingdoms as ever was known, and
although report speaks of wheat in some
placet being thin upon the ground, it is
universally allowed to be well headed, and
the quality uncommonly fine.

GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN THE
FRENCH AND ENGLISH ARMIES.
" Nxw-Yoax, November 9.
"The ship Radius, Captain Miller, sail
ed from Cdhinna on the 7th October. Two
days previous to his sailing, Capt. M. saw
an official letter addressed to the American
Consul, which mentioned that a sdvere and
decisive engagement took place near Al
meida, in Portugal, on the 27th of Septem
ber, between the French and the combined
forces of England and Portugal, under the
command of Lord Wellington, and con .
tinued, without intermission, until the even
ing of the 29th, when the French were
compelled to make a precipitate retreat,
with the loss of 14,000 men, killed and
prisoners. The loss of the combined ar
mies was trifling compared with that of
the French. The Portuguese troops be
haved with the greatest *gallantry on this
occasion.—The German troops were daily
deserting the French standard."
"Prospects have so materially altered
since we wrote you last, as to determine
us to lower our limits for wheat to He. for
flour to 425. without either a sanguine wish
or expectation of any shipment taking
place. .

though most likely it will bwio in g/l/iear

necessity, should apparently submit to the
yoke; will their proud and lofty necks
bear it long ? They are tb«O<Nt haughty
people upon earth, and the most deadly In
their hatred. Their ancestors Weflb men
of unconquerable spirit. The Romans,
though they conquered almost the whole
known world beside, could not entirely con
quer them. The Saracens, or took
possession of Spain, and held B for several
ages, but at the expense of torrents of
blood; for the native Spamiatds were per
petually waging war witlrthem, and final
ly expelled them- Hundreds of bloody bat
tles those proud conquerors had to fight
with a people which they had thought al
ready subdued; and a( last were driven
by them into exile. The present race of
Spaniards, from various causes, had be
come enervated. But the usurper, by his
perfidy, injustice and cruelties, has aroused
the energies characteristical of their na
tion. He has prompted them to deeds of
valour worthy of their progenitor*. He
has inflamed their bosoms with most vio ;
lent and implacable hatred to himself and
to the people of France; a hatred which
neither time nor change of circumstances
can cure or diminish. Friendship betwixt

Therefore, on the supposition that Spain
submits not willingly, as it never can, but
on compulsion ; wnat has Napoleon gain
ed ? He has gained the mere titular sove»
reignty of a country impoverished by him,
and turned into heaps of ruins. And what
has he lost ? He has lost the immense re
sources else he might continue to have in
that rkh country. He has lost the friend
ship of ten or twelve million people, and
incurred their deadly and eternal hatred.
They will submit no longer than they are
compelled to it; and, not unlikely, will
take the first favourable opportunity to
massacre and destroy every Frenchman
that shall be found amongst them. Final
ly, he has killed the hen that laid the golden
egg ; he has lost, forever lost, the products
of the mines of America ; the very thing
which he aimed to engross to himself.
Formerly, Spain furnished him in great
abundance with specie from its American
mine*. This harvest is past. For howso
ever it may fare with Spain itself, its mines,
which he chiefly coveted, are beyond his
reach.
The conquest of Spanish America by
France, if the natives prove true to them
selves, will be a thing impossible. With,
or even without, the assistance of Great-
Britain, they may bid defiance toevery in
vader. Besides that, their country ieim
pregnably fortified by nature, abounding
with frightful precipices and narrow de.
files, which would enable a handful of men
to stop the progress of an army; besides
these advantages, the deadliness of the
climate to Europeans, is a certain defence
against invasion. It proved so in the at
tempt upon Carthagena, by a British fleet
and army, in the year 1741. A pestilential
fever spread death and destructidl among
the invaders. Sit also in another instance,
in the year 1780. Lord Collingwood, then
commander of ;he British frigate Hinchin
broke, buried in four months at the port of
San Juan, one hundred and eighty, out qf
the two hundred which composed hie whole
crew t and the crews of the other British
vessels in the port, suffered io about the
same proportion.
If there were landed in South America
a French army of a hundred thousand men,
they would soon be destroyed, if not by
the sword, at least by sickness. The
natives, betaking themselves to nature's
strong holds, their and cutting
off supplies from their enemies, might leave
it to famine and pestilence to do the rest.

of American history—the year 1798. He
was first appointed commander ot the Au

whom, their favourite Barron was appoint
ed to command. The expectations of his
particular friends, of those who bad knowu
him from his youth, and marked his pru

in the service, until* he was appointed to

try in a state of health, that excited the
apprehensions of his friends. He, however,
recovered; but, for reasons, with which
the writer is unacquainted, the government
did not think proper to employ him in the
service, to which his rank and experience
gave him just pretensions—This ueglect,
not to say injustice, was felt with the nicest
military sensibility, but sustained by a dig

appointed to the superintendence of the
