:Capt. HEARNE, the Master, of one of the Post_
Office rackets, arrived in Town yebtetddy after,_
noon, after a very short passage from Cuxhaven to
Yarmouth. He brought dispatches for Government,

instance there has ever appeared any. econonly of
bloodshed on the part of the One and Indivisible
Republic.

Itiivery reasonable to imagine.that the Natives
of:Egypt will give all the assistance in. their power
to the British Forces in that country, in order to
complete the conquest over the Republican,JArMy.
They cannot but know that the English Govern.
ment .has no intention to obtain ans establishment
there, and only attempt to drive away the.Ftench
in order to assist an Ally, and avert all.poisibility
of clanger
~to our Eastern Territories. We may
therefore fairly presume that the French, though
they have taken the precaution to disarm the.inha-
bitints of those places which they immediately oC.:

bouring-Power; asAvell as to contend against Bri-

: An.idea prevails that the chief objea•of the In-
visfoi of "Portrtgol by the French is to destroy the
Vines, and thus force the English Nation to drink
French Wines. This is certainly a deep stroke of
poliCY, and what rather favours the opinion of its
probability is, that -the. Portuguese Government is

Private,Letters. from Spain, received by the last

and that it was in consequence of this that. Spain had
proposed an Araristice.to Portugal, in order that the
