**LIM QUIS YALSUM ALIiICAT

L 0 2V D 0 N,

MONDAY, 11AX 4, 1808.

WI have ed a series Of French Papers to
the 9th ult. from which we have extracted some
very interesting details respeaing the Revolution in
Spain, horn which it appears, beyond all possibility
of doubt, that it was effeaed under the auspices,
sod even under the clireetion of the French.

WS received this morning Barlacines Papers to
the =I March, from which we have made some
extraCts. It appears from the subsequent account,
which was this morning received at Izoyn's, that a
report was circulated in the West Indies that the
Rochefort Squadron had gnt into Martinique, but
the Extra&s which we have made froth the Barbl-
does Papers prove that it was without foUndation.

.BARBADOR, MARCH2'I.--His Majesty's Brig
Julia brings an account of five large Ships having
been seen going into Fort Royal, Martinigne. Th©
Admiral is off there before this time, as he was at
Dominica when the news reached him."

The following article, which appeared in an Edin-
burgh Paper of last week, tends to .strengthen the
rumour which we mentioned on Thursday, respc&t.
ing a Revolution in .Rtrisia

" We stop th Press to announcp the arrival at' Leith of
His Majesty's Sloop S,ttake from Gottenburgh. She brings
accounts that it was reportml at Gottenburgh on the aoth,.
that the IL trurnerArlaki‘;inaft had &lieu by the hands t,f,
his own Subjeas. The Didator, of 64 guns, had been on
shore on a sunken rock 'in the outer roads, but was get
'without the slightest injury, and proceeded up the t."
rt should, however, be observed, that the last
'Mail brought Letters three days later, which slight-
ly mention this report.' It is possible that there may
be a mistake as to the day when the Snaky really
left Gottenburgh, but it is certain that Government
have not received 'Tiny official intelligence upon the
iubje6l.

Outt Readers will recollect that on the 22d ult.
We ituerted a very interesting letter from an Officer
on board his Majesty' Ship Raven, off the Rock of
Li.hun, giving an account of the deplctrhle. situ ttinti

of Portugal, reape&ing the want of previsions, and
which mentioned a Manifesto that had been issued
at Lisbon, stiting that ." England is_ in :such a state,
that we cannot car'ry'on the War "tniire. than. two
months, and) that we are all starving, and trade totally
at a stand." The Maoitesto alluded to has just retch-.
ed this country, and we are sorry to find that French
artifice has on this occasion inade use of maierialsffir-
rushed to it by cur Opposiiien Orators, .and oneQe.4
position Journal,. re this. Mainfesto; JUNTOT, the
Freuch profdases to give the.PorMguese a
statement of the melancholy condition to' which the
British Etnpire is ieduced, in order to render them sen-
sible of the superior happiness which they enjoy;
• and which they are assured will be greatly increased
by the speedy downfall of •Great Britain. Ho tells
them that our paper-money 'ls at a 'considerable dis-
count,that ExChequer Bills are in the tifirilB de-
preciated state-.4hat our Custom-Houses are almost
shut up, for want 'af trade with the
.Continental
Nations..-that upwards of a million of Oi,ir artificeri,
enanufa&urers, &c. arc wholly destitute of'setn..
ployment, starving, and vehemently demanding
peace and a resterationr of intercourse with the Con-
tinentahPowers. He even cites passages from sevs,
ral of our Opposition Papers, in .or,tlei to prove that
there is 'a
prokious defalcation in our revenue;
though the passages referred to are the mere inven-
Cans of fa4lon, and are most satistaelorily
.reiuted
by documents submitted to Pacliament, which shew
that our finances are in a very. flourishing state.
But one of, the most ingenious attempts of Je.
NOT is, to prove - that we shall be ruined by+
that very Navy which is our chief national pro-,
tettion, Which is the great check to French am-
bition, and, indeed, the only hope for the nations
of Enrope, if any fortunate event should con to
to rescue them horn os tyrapny . and rapacity of
Fr4nce, This passage is of so, curious a description,
that we shall subMit it to our Readers, hecatele it is
a proofof the inventive power of the French Gene
ral, who has 'not on this occasion been indebted to
our Oppositien Politicians, ancl •the Joureals which
maintain their principles, and promulge their semi,
merits :--

t, If (say the Enemy) we cast at) e on. the pre-
a lent state. of the Etlgligh Navy,.the very condition
" of its ireat force, )ind the number Sii:;,s it COD.
el tains, this vast Power, we say, cannot 01.1 t
lerate the downfall of England; and suppoiing it
est...to be her most powerful defence, must prove the

" principal Cause of Tier ruin. The reason thereof
41, is obviotis. lo tie English .I‘,l'aiisterial Gazette,
" the state of the naval force is published the .first
" day of every nicAnth, awl by that return it appears,
" that* t 43 Sail of the 'Line, 26 Ships of 50 guns,
" 191 1.4 r gales, 223 Schooners, 229 Cutters, and
" other smaller Vessels, are employed.. Now,.
" reckoning that the victualling charges, for each
" Ship, pay of the Officers and Men, and other,
" daily expeoces, amount only to 600 milreis per
" day, this forms a sum total of upwards of half a
" million ; a much higher sum is expended in con
" sequence of losses sustained at sea, through storms
"and had weather, in tackle and rigging, masts,
" sails, &c. losses which they continually suffer on
" account of hard gales, and the numerous Ships
" which monthly strike aground on the Coasts of
" Spain, France, and Denmark, &c. and Ile re-
" sources from which they draw the means to main-
" tain such large Squadrons, begin to fail. Or 61101
'4 it be said,. that the above immense sum tan be
" supplied by the value of one or two Merchant
" Ships which they may pick. up. This vast naval
" force must, therefore, prove ruinous to the State,
" and wip soon render it incapable to ceotintie the
" warfare any length of time; for to meet an'ex-
""penditure so immense, they pssess no longer the
" revenue arising from the CustoMs, on account-of
" the stagnation of trade, nor the profits reartd,
" from manufaanres, and the circulation, joie....
" course, and commerce with every part of the
14 Continent."

There are other passages in' this Manifesto, tit
tending to the same purpose ; but it is impossible
that they should deceive the people of Portugal,
though they dare not avow their opinions, and must
submit implicitly to every imposition hat French craft
and falsehood may Im:dice on them. But.iu NOT, WhU
was a common soldier, and who knows nothing but
what relates, to his profession, bas falleu into,one
-blutider in. this Manifesto; at ANhich the Portugoest
Inigtit laugh, if unfortunately their condition did not
preclude every ipertive impulse, for after saying
that we have a million of people wholly destitute of
emplOyment, he proceeds to say, that our Agricul-
ture is in decay for want cf handi Ent he will pro-
bitbly soon get a new supply of Opposition Pape's,
and then lie will have ample materials for another
againit this Country, and for new predie-
lions of the ruin that hangs over us.
