Grperal Beresford; That Massena had de
clared himself King of Portugal.-—[We be
fore learnt that Napoleon had promised
Massena the Viceroyship as a reward
should be Cohqurr Portugal,]—and was de
termined to cross theTi<gus; and that an
engagement, probably decisive of the fate
of Portugal, was expected. The allied
British and Portuguese army, we trust, will
not rashly risk a general engagement; nor
will they avoid one bn any thing like equal

NEW BRITISH TREATY.

August 4.
FROM PORTUGAL.
FROM SPAIN.
We have seen a letter from Cadiz of 7th
June, which very gravely asserts, that a
conspiracy had just been detected among
the lower classes, for murdering all the
British, and delivering the city into the
hands of the French. And we merely
mention the circumstance to observe, that
there are some persons even in Cadiz, as
well as in this country, easily gulled and
led away by nonsensical rumours. The
fact is, and can be abundantly proved, that
evyry class of Spaniards in the kingdom
look upon the British as,their Deliverers;
and no Province that has been overrun by
the* French, but what has endeavoured to
rally the moment the French left them a
chance, with a hope to meet the exertions
of their British friends, and free their coun
try from the sacrilegious and barbarous
hordes of Bonaparte. The Spanish people
are as gallant as unfortunate; and lifted
by a sublime spirit of religious and political
enthusiasm, are fighting to preserve their
altars from pollution and themselves from
chains. They are the first nation that
with a courageous and manly firmness,
dared to resist, on principles of Freedom,
the storm that has gathered over and dis
figured the whole face of Europe; that has
abased and buried in dust princes and po
tentates, and made it one ruinous spectacle
with the wrecks and spoils of nations.—
ThC Spanish people, in their present glori
ous struggle, merit the sympathy and best
wishes of every true American. Cent.
Extract of a letter from d gentleman at
Jlgiert, to a Merchant in Boeton, dated
May 7.
“ The brig Blanchy, Captain Cotton,
vgjiich I mentioned in my teat as being the
only American vessel at this place, was to
have departed for Baltimore about the mid
dle oi April, but an unexpected occurrence
has changed her destination, as she has
been chartered by the French Vice-Consul,
Charge d* Affaires of France here, to carry
him to Marseilles, he having been ordered
by the Dey to quit the Regency in 24 hours,
in consequence of a dispute between them
relative to a prise brought in by a French
privateer; and as there was no other ves
sel in the port ready to take him within so
short a period, Colonel Lear has consented
to her going to France as a cartel. This
affair happened the 30th of March. The
brig sailed with the Consul on the Ist of
April, and is to return here immediately in
ballast, and is now expected, and is to de
part for the United States immediately on
her return- The Dey says his dispute is
merely personal with this Consul, and he
has permitted several French vessels to
depart since it happenedßut I think it
will be regarded in a different light in
France. ,

that scarce a single article for exportation

** The inhabitants of West Florida, as it
respects government, are completely in a
state of anarchy. From, the situation of
political affairs in old Spain, their system
of Jaws appears to be entirely disorganized,
and without that authority which is neces
sary to make them binding upon individu
als. The greatest number of inhabitants,
in this part of the Spanish dominions, are
Americans, who are extremely anxious to
come under the government of the United
States. There are so many partisans, and
so much disoi der in this country, that I ex
pect there will shortly be a dissolution of
all government among them. A few days
ago, the French, at and near Baton Rouge,
made a ball, without asking any of the
Spaniards, at which they drank high toasts
to Bonaparte. The Spaniards, feeling
themselves insulted, made anotl|Br ball,'
without inviting a single Frenchman, as a
retaliation, and drank some warm toasts to
Ferdinand. After this, they went to such
lengths In their opposition to each other,
that all the French, except two or three in
office, received peremptory orders to leave
the dominions of his Catholick Majesty,
within three days, or to prepare for conse
quences. What has been the result, I
have not been able to learn. Several other
circumstances have lately transpired, all
verging to the same point.’*
