the conduct of Baseeastex towards a Prince. who
had embanked to every sommeed, except that of

seising on the property and the persons of his allies.
The coudematioa of mankind justly attended a
treatment so unprovoked, unjust, and severe. But
the consequences rested there, and did not, extend
beyond Portugal. In the present ifistances a much
more awful respooeibility is incurred. and a nation,
far more powerful, as well as more indignant
than the Portuguese, basobeem roused to action.—

even if such should be the result, he has 101 l the
greater part or Spain, as well as her commerce, her

such circumstances he has checked his own career,
and imposed limits to his owe future acquisitions.
From the point of his highest elevation, to that of
his declension. the interval will probably not be
very long. Our next accounts may enable us to
ptouounce with more accuracy on this point.

`The Anierican ship Tsgrc, brought into Ply-
mouth by the Growkr gun-brig, has or board
the Marquis D'Yaujo, late Minister from Spain
to the United States, and his Family. The
Tigre was allowed by the American Government
to take his Excellency to Boardeaux. The
Commander of the Growler informed the Mar-
quis of the late occucrepries in Spain, and soli-
cited, him to proceed thither at once; but the
surprise of the- Marquis was such as to induce
hint to doubt lathe of the facts stated, and to pre-
fer a visit to England before he proccedod to Spain.
A passport was last night forwarded from the
SECtSTART of STATE'S Office. and we understand
his Excellency intends to pass a few weeks at
Bath. The Tigre- has a considerable number of
passengers on board, also bound to Spain. She
sailed by particular permission on the 7th ult. at
which time the embargio continued in full force; but
it transpires by this arrival, that in the new el.so:
tion for Members for Cougres, not one candidate
has been re-elected who was known to hats voted
sor the embargo.

No accounts from Cadiz or Lisboa had arrived
at the Admiralty, at a late hour last night.

An encampment is new forming at Danbury, in

We are happy to state, that, according to let-

prospect of u renewal of . our coinmercial relations
with Spain has, even thus curly, had • sensible
etlect upon that important manufacturing town;
and it is expected. that these .events will have an
immediate manatee in Telievidg the distresses,
and consequently in quelling the -discontents.

We have no authority far making any statements
respectiug the departure of the Expedition as-
sembled it Cove, but, under all the circumstances
of the case, it is very probable that the Commander-
in-Chief of the Forces embarked will leave town
almost immediately, and that the whole will pro-
ceed on their &ideation. They will be accompa-
nied with the hopes and peepers of the whole Bri-
tish Empire. The Expedition will not sad until a
corps of cavalry be embarked, which is now on
the march, and cannot reach Monkatewu, the
plide of embarkation, before Monday evening.—

The anxiety of some of the Newspapers to gratify
their Headers with intelligence frets' distant quar-
ters, makes them sometimes neglect to attend to
what is poising at home. No less than three of the
Morning Papers of Wednesday mein to have thought
it unworthy of them to give. or so much as to no-
tice, a Declaration of Peace, published in The
Gazette, between this Country and Spain !

The enclosure of Wildmnre Fen, below Boston,
will bring into immediate cultivation 40,000 acres
of inandated. and, consequently, of hitherto on-
profitable land. It is so rich, that considerable
part of it is now selling at 301. per acre, and the
rest is of equal value. The moderate amount.
therefore, is 2,000.0001. The expenditure of in-
closing, draining, 44c. has cost 400.0001.; so that
the net profit to the owners of this great *ink is
1,600,0001. sterling.
Wednesday a Cabinet Council was held at the
SECRETARY of STATE'S Office, which was attended
by all the Ministers. The Council met at three
o'clock, and did not break up till past six. At its
rising, two Messengers were ordered to hold them-
selves in readiness to proceed to the Continent at a
moment's notice.
A remarkable instance of the fatal erects of the
introduction of virulent animal matter into the hu-

GREY. a shepherd, in the service of Mr. Attu-

sheep which had died of disease, (the thorter ill),
and was at the time in • stet, of putrescence, acci-
dentally cat one of his fingers with the knife. The
effect of the poisonous matter was truly astonish-
ing ; for on his going home in the evening, he com-
plained to his wife .• that he had inoculated him-
self. and he already began to feel the bail enema-
quences of it over all that side of his hotly on which
tie finger was cut." At five the next morning me-
. eical assistance was sent for. but no kind of relief

morhific matter attack his system, that he became

eleven o'clock that day, being lees than 24 hours
from the introduction of the matter.
