FRIDAY, Novsbasta is.

The Auckland Packet is arrived in eleven day
from Lisbnn. She has brought the Prot'mating
of the PRISCii Rscreror for shutting the ports of
Pottugal against England, and declaring the ac.
cession of Portugal to the calm of the Continent,
and her union with France and Spain. The Ccu
of Lisbon thus appears to have carried oa a co
plete system of delusion with respell to this tour.
tt y. The farce of the threatened removal of th
seat of Government to the Braals, and the depar
Lure of the French and Spanish Ambassadors fru
Lisbon, was well conceived, and admirably got tt]
for the purpose. The removal of so sincere a frien
to the Brazilf, held out to England a new and e

tensive market for her mattufaftures ; and,
attain this °Neel, it was necessary, tl.at
whole Portuguese navy should be collefted
the Tagus. The denouement is, however, mostsr,

tifying: the Portuguese navy has been colleeted ill
the Tagus, not to transport the rank and wealth d
Lisbon to Smith America, but to prevent its fAllini
into the hands of the English ; and the French an
Spanish Ministers only left that city in aid of di
delusion which the Pal NCI REGLKT meant to rat

tise upon the Brit6h Ministers. The following

she had so industriously stifled, she would lose
