A Ship called the It ildemaar is arrited at Ports-
mouth, in fifty-two days, from Rio Imeiro: Letters
by this conveyance state, that an arrangement had
taken place between the Portuguese Government and
the Governor of Buenos Ayres, by which the River
Plata was for the future to be tree to all British and
Portuguese ships.

The following is an extra& of a letter 'received by
HENRY O'SHEA, Esq. of Limerick, from his bro-
ther-in-law, Colonel RocfiE, dated Madrid, 06to-
ber 17

" The. enthusiasm of the people continues una-
bated, and the Government have ordered the armies.
to be completed to 600',000 men. As soon as I re-
turn to Madrid I shall write again, or if I have an
opportunity, I shall give you a line from Portugal
(for which place I set out to•morrow). The head-
quarters of the British will be for the present at Val.:
andlwill consist altogether of 40,000 men,
under Sir J. Moore."

The Ruok Sloop of War, from Jamaica to London,
with about 39,000 dollars on board, was attacked otf
St. Domingo by two French Privateers, who laid her
alongside, when a most desperate notion took place.
The enemy were much superior to the British Sloop,
with respctl to number of men, guns, and weight of
metal. Notwithstanding, she did not strike until
every man on board was killed or wounded, the
Lieutenant who commanded excepted.
The possession of Bilboa is regarded as of conse-
quence only because it would atibrd facilities to the
French fur conveying provisions and reinforcements
to their troops in the North of Spain, which they
could do from Bayonne. It is understood that, from
the nature of the intervening coast, small vessels
could sail from Bayonne to Bilboa without much, if
any, danger of interruption from our cruizers, even
though these cruizers should be stationed to watch
lhetn.

A melancholy accident happened to Mrs. Fjavant,
a widnw lady, in Tottenham COurt-road. On Mon-
day she had .b.zea at 'Drury-lane Theatre with a
party of fri,::nds; and on her return retired with her
grand-daughter to her bed-room, and whilst stand-
ing close to the tire, her clothescaught fire, and she
was 'instantly enveloped in flames. Assistance was
immediately afforded, but she was so" much burnt
that she ;s not expeaed to YOCPVC4%

TRIBUTE.—It will be recolleEled that a few : days
since, a brig, belonging to a democrat, arrid.: at
• ~
Baltimore from Rotterdam, with six pipes of gixi ion
board. It will also be recolleded that).stic,Was.
tamed in, the British Channel, and had,' apkliey of
eight-pence a gallon imposed upon the in by the
British Government. A little inquiry into the cir-
cumstances of the case may here be necessary.—
When the Sophia, the Vessel in question, sailed
from Rotterdam, the blockading Decrees of the Bri-
tish Government were fully known. The Master
and Merchant, who transacted the business of the
voyage, knew they were only permitted to.,come out
in ballast, and if they took in any gin,' t'Aveltildt rrn-
, • ,t
' der them liable to capture or detention in the British
Channel. But unwilling to lose the opportunity of
a trifling speculation, they shipped on board six
.pipes, which subjected them to the penalty of the
British laws. Let it be remembered the Sophia is
owned by a Democrat, and that Vessels owned by
Federalists have arrived from the same place in bal-
lasL Immediately on the arrival of the Vessel in
America, and on the eve of an important ele6tion, an
eleal. ioneering handle' was made of the circumstance,
and the hue and cry of Tribute resounded far and
near. The trick, in conjunction with ethers of the
most base and profligate nature, has succeeded in
the city of Baltimore, to the elevation of a crew of
Jacobins, whose aim is to palsy the energies of the
country, dry op our resources, batter down the con-
,
sti tution, and finally destroy the liberties of the Pro-
ple, by introducing French systems, qep.ce:politpcs,
and French Rulers. Now that they have isktcceeded
in Baltimore, they have determined to put a tail to
their kite by burning the six unfortunate pipes of
gin on Gallows Hill!
Gallows Hill is the place sele&ed by the Demo-
crats of Baltimore for burning six pipes of gin, tax-
ed by the British Government for a violation of
their blockading Decrees; and Gallows- Hill was
the very place scleEted by a distinguished Democrat
of New York to burn 'the Coref
country. 4 . ,

A Gentleman, a few days since, applied for per•
mission to clear out a vessel for one of the West-
India Islands, which was refused on two grounds—
the first was, the impropriety of violating their
previous resolution to close the granting of permits
after the stated period—the second and most cogent
was the procpe& of the speedy removal of the Em-
bargo.—(Balt. Amer.)

WASHINGTON, OCT. 3.--Yesterday tbePrcsidept
of the United States arrived from Monticello.
Mr. MADISON, Secretary of State, Mr."o-ALY.ITIN,
Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. SMITiI, Secre-
tary of the Navy, arrived last evening.
Mr. JEFFERSON says to the dissenters of Boston—
" The general capture of our Vessels would have
been war on one side, which reason and interest
would repel by war and reprisal on theother."
Now it is a notorious faat, that for a twelvemonth
past there has been " a general capture of our res-
sels" by France; which, according to Mr. JEFFER-
