FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
• PARTS, near. 13.—The following remarks appear in TB,l
Molliteur, upon two articles of news extracted frore the English
Papers. The first relates to the communication hosseen
Crib-
raltar and the Spanish territories. The 21foni!oir ni)Nerve,
' " Commerce was carried on then between Spain and fiihraltar..
If the King of Spain knew that his Governor, betrayed their
ditty and traded with England, w hilst Lmilaiid invades his el,.
lonies, surprises his frigater, nia,sacres his seamen durit...
pence. and (Noises so many misvries to his people, his Catholic
Majesty could not but be indignant tit it."
Upon the second Extract, w hid] relates to Mr. Rose junior's
mission, The Mnniteur remarks, that, " the English have
strange ideas o' the Sovereignty of Natiorv, if they think the.
Americana pusilla:..imous and impolitic enough to barter a,‘:tv
their independence aad abandon their share of the coninierce of
the Colonies to England. If they should adopt such a mods
conduct, renounce the sovereignty of their fbig„-iud interdict
themselvc from all commerce with France, there is no sloulo
that tearing thus to pieces their first charter of independence,
they would he at war with France, and with all the Continen-
tal *Powers."
Dec. 16.—General sTunot's Proclamation, upon entering
Lisbon, states in substance, that the French army entered that
city to rave the Prince and the country from the intluenee
of England—but that the Prince, so rerpectalsic fur his stirtut-.
has suffered himself to be guided by the aftvkc of some bad per-
sons about him, and has thrown himself into the arms of his
enemies; that these persons insinuatecl npprehensioas for his
personal safety ; his subjects ;lave been considered as nothing,
and their interests have been sacrificed to the cowardice
some courtiers.—" Inhabitants of Lirlitin," adds the General
Chief, " remain quiet in your houses, neither fear my army
nor myself; we are Only terrible to our enemies and to the
wicked. The great Napoleon, my Master, has sent me to pro-
tect
you-1 will protect you,"—lt was not Fort Buller, but
Fort Belem, the guns of which were Spiked by the Prince's
order. Central Delabode has been appointed Commandant ut
Lisbon, and of all the troops in that city. We hoped that the
Prince, knowing at length w hat Were the real Interests of his
kingdom, was preparing to accede to the grand Confederacy of
Europe; but all these demonstrations were only so mauy
to gain time. And what use has he made of this time ?—he has
deserted the throne which he might have rendered free. Tlie
result of his wise manceuvres, is to ensure himself, till fresh in-
cidents haw, the post of Viceroy or Coyernor of an English

" Silt—l hasten to oummunicate to you tbe folloo ins news,
contained in a letter 1 received three ilays ago from the Consul
General of the United States tit Algiers Colooel Lear, dated
Vie Vist of October last ; by onich he informs incothat, on the
[sth of that month, the Vey sent for the Dragomans of the
American, :In edish, Danish, and Dutch Consuls, and ordered
them to inform their respective Consuls, that he had long
*ailed for their Annuities due for some time—that his patienee

tion, the reigning Dey heiug id the habit of carry ing his threats
into exeution—and he thinks that there is little doubt of his
breaking o ith one of he' pir.t ere, or w ith nil—but we presume
that if his attacks be directed against one alone, the extent of
commerce in t licke teas rill be an object of temptation to
him. You oat, in. coasequence, immediately advise ItH Ame-

An article in one of the Euglith Pipers baviog stated that
Mr. Hilt, s bn is going to Sardinia, is the bearer of di4pritches
for the Austrian Coveriancnt, announcing the acceptance of the
Austria° and Russian Mediation, The Afoniehr says, " that
" it is true that the Emperor of Austria, upon the first intel.
ligeuce of the events at Copenhagen, demanded explanations
from England, and, as the Emperor of Russia did, demanded
how far she intended to make the world groan ander the miseries
of the present war, and whether she ituagiued that all the Go-
vernments of the Continent would longer suffer the vexatious
offered to their commerce, and the violation of their flags ?
" To this Declaration worthy of a great Sovereign, what did
England reply ? She replied by the Decrees of the lath No.
vember.

" At London, as at Vienna, and at Petersburgh, the people
desire the termination of this infermal war, which is prontable
only to pirntess but the Ministers of perpetual star will laugh
at the et ils which Europe is sutfering, until the avenging blow,
from the hands of the English themselves, tired with the °Mout
part they are made to play, or from the haunts of the Continental
Powers, shall at length rid the world of them."
