SOLLM QC:IS DICSI2I 7ALSUM AUDZAT

LONDON,

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1808.

1,34 t night a Mail from Gottenburgh arrived.
I:VI:al-a:ions were making, according' to the last ac-
c:,unts, by Sir JAMES SAUMAREi and the Swedish
l
kilmiral, to make an attemptr.
,toburn the Russian
• ,
net in Port alltic, as the Russian Admiral has
-thoUght proper to rejea the favourable terms which
wet-e offered to hiin. It is stated, in a letter from
Konigsburgh, dated the 13th inst. that the Emperor
ALEXANDER and the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE
w.k.l'expeCted there during the course of that week,
on their way to Erfurth, for the purpose of having an
interview with BUONATARTE. Notwithstanding all
the sacrifices which the • Emperor ALEXANDfiIt has
made to promote the views of the French Usurper,
since the unfortunate Peace of Tilsit, we can scarcely
be:ieve, that with the fate of CHARLES IV. and FER-
DINAND VII. before his eyes, he would venture to
put stimselt into the power of BUONAPARTE. No-
tb].og but the blindest infatuation could induce him
to such a step, for we cannot suppose that CAU-
w:;:•:u RT has been able to keep the Emperor in

',oraoce ot the events wt. 401 have occurred in
within the last few. monphs, and of the
melan-
..::o situation )f the Royal Filthily of Spain. If the
E,nperor ALEXANDER once puts- himself into Buo-
..,,,rAliTE's power, he will not speedily revisit
St. l'e.:ersburgli. He will be kept as a kind of
ho.ite, „while -BUONAPARTE is carrying on his
pions against Ausiria and Spain, and forced, per-
baos, to exert the strength of his Empire, and
thereby to contribute most essentially to his own
uliiulate ruin. -We cannot thirefore bring ourselves
to believe.that ALEXANDER will—be induced to obey
the summons of BUONAPAETE; and to attend him
t Erfurt!). It is, however, extremely probable that
the Corsican should -use every means in his power to
itldLiC: the Emperor to venture out of his-dominions.
die cannot be quite easy as to the state of aliairs in
,the. North 1 he must be apprehensive that the
Russian Government may at last be awakened to
a sense of the danger with which it is threatened,
and he. is conscious that while he is , engaged
with Austria and with Spain, the Northern
Powers may take the opportunity of re-establish-
ing Ole in:leoendence of the North of Europe.
It would therefore be ot the utmost importance
to him to have the person of the Emperor of
Rns',.ia in his power ; but nothing short of absolute
inanity, on the part of that Monarch, could induce
him to comply with a request by which he would at
cncc degrade his own dignity, endanger his own
a tety, and compromise the best Ili-retests of his Em-
pire.

THE intelligence which we had yesteriday the
'pleasure Of communicating to our Readers, respell-
ing the recovery of the property so infamously seiz-
ed by the French at LiShun, must excite general
83 ',faction, not only because the Portuguese' re-
that. property, but because the French ma-
r,2uctets are .disappoiated and deprived of their ex-
pected booty. Indeed Ic was itIlpoOk: to conceive
that Sir Fhw DALiYMPLE con,ld:. intend by the
,
Contention, in sA natever terms itaptight be express-
ed, to give that latitude to it to, which it was
ex-
.tencled by French artifice, and to staffer the ahorde of
pluncerers to retire with their spoil. But the Pro-
clamation which we this clay present to our Readers,
issued by the British and French Commissioners, fully
settles this matter, and proves that the French were
only to remove that private property which belonged
to t hetn.lancl tot that of which they had dispossessed,
or rather infamously plundered, our AllieS. It it;
impossible to suppose that KELLERMAN would have
put his name td such a Proclamation, unless it was
in stri6l confotTnity to the real import of the previ-
Iris Conventicin, and, therefore, a great part of thu
y which! the-OppOsition Prints have cast upon
this-Convention must fall to the ground.' This was,
indeed, one of the chief grounds of attack on the
Convention, and if it had been well founded, we
should ourselves have joined in reprobating any.Ar-
tz:le in it that had given a sanction to such grosi in•.

justice.
The more we consider what has passed at Lisbon,
the more we are dispoied to rejoice in the line of

condua we have adopted. Never shall we hesitatt!,
to condemn what may be injurious or dishonourabl e
to the Country; but we shall never be guilty of ratite
prejudication, .when the fads have not been brought
to light, when we know that an ample incdsti,iio.ri
will take' place, and when we consicfei-the char'atters
of t e parties pon whom (ensure is thrown,
without a knowledge of the gout* that may be

offered in exculpation of imput:d gciit. Such, we
are sorry to say, has not been the condu6.l of many
of our competitors. They have obviously demon-
strated a satisfa&ion at the opportnnity with which
the Convention furnished them of giving way to
personal pique and. to party spirit. It is impos-
sible to read some of the comments on the con-
du& and charaaer of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLE,Y,
without being firmly convinced that they were writ-
ten by secret enemies to him and to his family, for
his relations have been repeatedly dragged in when
the Convention has been mentioned, and the private
qualities of every individual of that family have been
made ,the topics of illiberal taunts and rancorous
refleaions. Sir ARTHUR'S termer services have been
entirely overlooked, and he has even been represent-
ed as the entire author of that Treaty to which
his name is affixed, in conformity to his mi-
litary duty.—As to the p arty spirit that has been
shewn en this occasion, it is manifest, by the attacks
on Ministers, who are bitterly arraigned for a mea-
sure which must prove as grievous to them, if
it should really be found to commit the national
charaaer, as to every other man in the Empire.—
Ministers, we are authorised to say, as soon as they
heard of the Treaty that had been made, sent off dis-
patches, intended to prevent any compromise of the na-
tional honour, and did every thing in their power tocor-
tea error, if it had aaually been committed; and there-
fore to attack them on this ground, is only to shew a
disposition to use every possible means to get them
out of office, and to restore men whose talents had only
tended to bring ruin on the Country, and rivet the
chains in which Gallic despotism holds the Conti-
nental Powers.

SECOND EDITION.

SLIN-OFFICE,

HALF PAST TWO, P. M.

We stop the Press to state that a Moniteur of the

20th inst. has reached town.—lt contains a most

curious and interesting account of a Speech made
by BUONAPARTE to his Troops on the Parade, the

preceding day. It appears that the intelligence of
the Convention in Portugal has not been quite so

agreeable to BUONAFARTE as lbe Opposition
`Writers in this Country have endeavoured to pre-

suade us.

Soon afier the recciet of that intelligence, he as-

sembled his Troops on the Parade, and told them,

that their labours were by no means concluded 5 that

they had traversed Austria and Prussia, but they

must now traverse France, cross the Pyrenees, and
take a dreadful vengeance upon the Spaniards for their
Rebellion. T e English, he said, had coniamina;ed

Spain and Portugal with their presence, but their

success should not be of long continuance, for the
Leopards of Spain, Portugal, and England, should
all soon be devoured by the Eagles of France.

This is the substance of this most extraordinary

Speech, the whole of which is couched in such ex-

travagant terms, that it appears more like the rav-
ings of a. madman than the speech of a General to

his soldiers.

It does not appear from the Moniteur, that this

speech was received with any marks of applause by
the soldiers.

The Moniteur does not contain any other intelli-

pence of importance.

We have received a private Letter from Lisbon,

which states, that the publication of the Proclarna-
tion signed by Generals BEREsEoßriand KELLERMAN,

which is given in a subsequent Column, has created

the utmost discontent in the French Army. Gene-

n 1 RINor in particular was perfe&ly enraged at the

loss of his plunder, and has issued- a formal protest

against the interpretation which General KELLER-

MAN h-as put upon the Convention.

On the other hand, KELLERMAN contends that

the interpretation was corre&, but says he did not
Intend that the Proclamation should be published,
as it will ruin him in the estimation of the French
