TUESDAY, Jut• 10.

Letters arrived with the Lisbon Mail yesterday,
mention the progressive inflaence of France, not
only in the Councils of Spain. but in those •if P ,:-
tugal, where the insolence And intrigues of LasNcs
know no bounds. British subjets are harrasso,d,
insulted, and plundered with irnpu4.ity, by every
petty custom-house officer ; while French rebels ar-
caressed at court, cajaled by the nobility, and re-
speAed and feared by all ch.ses of penple. As
soon as B(is AAAAAA 's Emissary, LASPES, had his
revolutionary Field-marshal's unit:inn made, he went
to court, where he announced the new revolu-
tionary dignity of the Corsican, as well as his own

promotion. Though the Pewee Reoanr had not
vet officially saluted the Usurper as Emperor, his
isosikv Representative was received with the same
di.tinfion as other Imperial Ambassadors, and as
if such 4n event had taken place. There exists,
notwithstanding, but little doubt, that Mutat:Coos
have already been sent, both from the Courts of
Madrid and of Lisbon, to their Moister' at Paris,
to bow to the shrine of usurpation, and to acknow-
ledge the midnight assassin of the Duke of E.
MIN, EMPEROR of the FILSON. The KING pi
SPAM, and the Paleness Relater of PORTUGAL,
are both .Bocunoes. The Corsican Adventure,
occupies their family throne, and they hasten
submit ; and to sun Lion an aft of violence, atro-
city, and of pillage, which, thanks to Britis'o
berty and spirit, even in individual families, the
lowest subjedt of Great Britain would not oral• ie.
sent, but revenge. What a degradation to royalty,
what a gala 'upon hereditary rank, and what a di,.
honour to the char-atter of our age, when every
adventurer, let him be ever so mean or ever so
wicked; a MA RAT or a Rosaseastar., a BARRA' or
a BON AP ARTZ, if crimes backed by fortune hare
succeeded to make him powerful, he is certain
to be regarded by the most legal and elevated
rank as an
,equal ; and religion, as well as mo.
nifty, remains silent before his ferocious audacity.
But, attentive as BONAPARTZ is to his private in-
terest, or to the advantage of the nation be rules,
he takes care, at the same time, that the loss or
humiliation of England shall always be inseparably
connected with both. We have seen letters from
Madrid of the tith of June, which mention, as known
faits, that commercial treaties, highly favourable
to France, and injurious to Great Britain, have
been signed both with Spain and with Portugal ;
but that they are to lay dormant during the present
war, no doubt as means to pick up new quarrels
with us, and to make a future peace, the sane es the
last, only a cessation of arms, publishing to all Eu.
rope the weakness of our councils, and the igto.
rance of our negotiators, profitable to our foes,
and ruinous to oar national charaeter, as well as ti
our national resources.

The Lisbon Mail has also,brongbt as copy of
correspondence whi;lE took plate between Mr.
Faces and the Prisice of P/ACIL, in consequence of
a letter from Madrid, insetted in the Metitear some
time ago, relleding upon Mr. Faces. It is highly
creditable to that Gentleman, and proves the Prir,ce
of PIACI to be completely under the influmce or in
the interest of the French Government. As t!
correspondence is important, we have prefixed to it
a copy of the pretended letter that gave rise to it,
and the note with which it was accompanied in
Moeitar.

enemy's movement s, demonstrative of a design inr

CA'ARTAGE§ FO r. Tilt F.XfPEROI OF MOROJ",CO.

Four carriages of singular elegance and beauty
have been mad: here, lor the Esteems* of Moisoc-
co, by the order of the houses ?dm!' Mactots, of
Haydo'n-sqoare, and Go to•tte, .of Friday-street.
They were finished yesterday, all but some small
part of the barter= .and are expeCted to be shipped
to-morrow or on Thursday. Three of them are
made by Houtotecu, and the other by THORP.
They are all on one plan, and have the same gene.
ral style of decoration, varying chiefly in the pre-
daninant colour of each. The body of the carriage
is, in fad, the same as that of a post-chaise,
only it is of a size to hold no more than one person.
It has two wheels only, and shafts like a single
horse chaise, and is intended to be drawn by a sin-
gle mule. It is hung very low (about a foot and a
half from the ground), is very light, and elastic. One
of the pectdirities of these carriages ic, that they
are painted, ornamented, and varnished all over, the
very top being painted of the predominant co-
lour
of the body. The prevailing colour of two of
them is crimson relieved, one with green, and the
other with sky-hlue. That of another is green, re-
lieved with crimson. Flowers (more especially
roses), peacocks' feathers, stars, and other decora-
tions in painting, are scattered over them,
and executed with uncommon excellence. I'he
mountings are entirely silver, and are at once sim-
ple, rich, and elegant. In fad, there is no.
thing gaudy about these carriages but the vari-
ety of the colours. 'Chen are no decorations of
antis or inia,rial crowns on any part or the carriage
or harness. The wheels and shafts are highly var-
nished and gilt, but are entirely free from carved
ornaments. The inside of each carriage is lined
with the finest broad-cloth of the prevailing colour
of the carriage, with very rich silk lace and fringe,
a silk curtain running round the top of the carriage
to a certain depth, and nio,t elegantly festooned.
Each carriage has two lamps in front, in the manner
of a post-chaise, the frame be ng of silver. The harness
is the most beautiful ever seen in this country. It
is of the native colour of the leather, richly studded
with silver, and relieved with coloured morocco
leather, as an edging. The head-pieces of the
bridles are cut in a style of much holey, and great
elegance, and profusely decorated with silver. In
a word, these carriages may be considered as good
examples of that great perfeCtion to which this branch
of our manufadures is brought.
