Marshal Brune is expeaed here from Constanti-
nople in the course of the ensuing month.
MAD:tID, JAN., 4.
All the grandees of the kingdom exert themselves
with the utmost zeal to support the Government in
the war against Fngland with patriotic contribu-
tions. His Royal Highness Don Louis de Bour-
bon, Cardinal de Scala, and Archbishop of To-
ledo, has written to the Prince of Peace, offering in
the latter capacity to give .50,000 reals monthly,
during the war; and as administrating Archbishop
of Seville, 25,000, in the whole 7.3,000 reals. "No
sacrifice," says he, in his letter to the Prince, " can
be too great for our country; and from this day, I
have ordered, that, for the future, only three dishes
shall be served up at my table."
FIKROL, DEC. %.
Lieutenant-General Filangieri has now taken the
command at I.errol. Several regiments are on their
march for this city, and our garrison will be aug-
mented to 10,000 men.
The Commandant of the division of French ships
lying here has placed 700 of his sailors at
,the dis-
posal of General Filangieri, who will be command-
ed by french officers. The most :Olive exertions
will soon be made here in fitting out gun-boats.
The citizens will be organised in companies to en-
able them to contribute to the defence of the place
in case of necessity ; in fine, all such measures will
be taken as circumstances require. The
squadron of ten ships of the line and two frigates
has left its anchoring place at Arres, but is still in
sight of we coast, whenever the weather permits.
LISBON, DEC. 91.

AI negotiations are carrying on between our
Court and the French and Spanish Governments.
Endeavours are making, on our part, to induce the
belligerent powcrs to suffer us to remain neutral, in
A dispate which does not immediately concern us.
This, hrmever, is a very difficult negotiation.
France and Spain consent that the whole trade of
Perritipd shall remain in the hands of the English ?
Wi,; not England, on the other hand, as soon as our
neat rality shall cease, attempt the conqnest of Ma-
deira and Brazil? Our situation is very critical,
aid it will require the whole wisdom of our go-
veroment to avoid the difficulties on each side.
—We are, however, assured, that the French
and Spanish Governments are ready to admit of our
neutrality under certain conditions and limitations ;
in the mean time Portugal has, as yet, made no
preparations either by sea or land. The uncer-
taiaty of our present situation is, in many respefts,
very injuritus to our trade.
GENOA, JA N. 10.
According to accounts from Toulon, 10,000 men
embarked on board the ships of war and transports
lying there, in the midst of very bad weather, with
the utmost expedition. They are said to be destined
for the defence of Minorca and Majorca.
BOLOGNA, JAN. 4.
Italian troops, which made a part of the French
army in the kingdom of Naples, are now continually
marching back into Upper Italy. Within these few
days some very extraordinary reports have been in
circulation here, the confirmation of which must be
left to time.
Every thing is quiet in Sicily. There are in that
island a great number of English agents, who buy
6up great quantities of provisions for the magazines
of Malta, from which the fleet of Admiral Nelson
receives its supplies.

ITALY, JAN. 3.

Admiral Nelson has lately received from Eng-
land a reinforcement of several ships of the line and
frigates. He cruises about forty miles from Tou-
lon, and observes the whole line of the Italian,
French and Spanish coasts from Palermo, by Leg-
horn,'Toulon, and Barcelona, to the Straits of Gib-
raltar. The ships under him cruise in every diresaion
through this great extent of sea, and detain all French
and Spanish merchant ships.
It is said, the French have required of all the
Italian Governments which have hitherto rema::.ed
neuter, to declare to which party they will adhere.
In case, as their true interest requires, they should
side with France and Spain, they will be req•tired
to shut their ports against the English, and prohibit
the importation of any English commodities.
It is added, that the Courts of Florence and
Rome have already declared according to the
wishes of France; but that of Naples wishes to
preserve its neutrality; and with that view has
entered into negotiations, under the mediation of a
certain great power.

JAN. S.

The situation of the kingdom k now greatly al-
tered, by a declaration of the Emperor Napoleon,
who, it is stated, has said that His Sicilian Majesty
shall rereain neutral during the present war between
England and Spain, and that he shall under no pre-
text be disturbed in his neutrality, but this under
condition, that a certain eminent person shall take no
part in the conduft of public affairs.
