LISBON, 'JULY 24

THE conditions of the Peace are. not

They say that they are disadvantageous to the
lisp, and disgraceful to the Pnrtuguese, but it
welt known that Portugal is not•h.
on .15/ar.. There is a report that hostilities will re..
.commence. - Several pieces of artillery and. a great.;
deal of ammunition have been taken from the ar-
senals. The Government have sent ,everal Mules
which have been taken from private persons, for the
purpose of serving in the artillery.. Nevertheless
the. Army still remains encamped near "Mrantes,
and the Auxiliary Artillery reMains in boats, not
having been yet disembarked,

On the 3oth of last month M. D'AR.e.kmio ar-
rived from the East ; he brings no other news, but
that the plenipotentiary Powers remaining at Rada-
joz, he was not enabled to treat. If upon this oc-
casion the French pass the limits of moderation to-
wards this Country, they will prove to the world
that though they are great Conquerors, yet they
are not skilful Politicians, because, if their ob-
jed is only conquest,
.they, will obtain possession
nominally, but they can derive no substantial ad-
vantage from it. If they shut the Ports against the
English,. it will be produdive of no advantage to
the French, and will completely ruin Portugal. But-
their partisans say,.•it is, the only means of making
it a Province of. Spain, and perhaps, will afford. an
opportunity .Of taking Gibrttliar. In the mean
time, the.Kt NG and QuE.E..ii of Spain are at Bada.
joz, some say on account, of the Marriage of the
young PRINcEss, others,, because the people of
Madrid are glad of the arrival Of the French, and
seem more disposed to cry-Lang live the Republic,
than Long live the Xing.. It is most probable,
that they will.neither leave Spain nor Portugal in
the condition they. found them. The plan upon
which
.they is, that ofproteeting, first covertly,
and then openly, the destruction of. every 3y.wcw, •
which differs from their own,

'YESTERDAY morning there was a Grand Review
- in Hyde. Park, of most of the Volunteer Corps in
. London. and its vicinity, before His Royall-lighness
the DUKE of Yotut, and several General Officers.
The. xrhole number of Volunteers amounted to about
four thousand five hundred. Considering the season
of the year, the necessary absence of a great num-
ber of Gentlemen from Town, and that some of the
• Volunteer Corps have already, parsed in review, it
• was extremely creditable that the number should
be large. There is no doubt but that the cir-
cumstances of the moment induced many to attend,
'Who would otherwise have.wished to decline the
fatigue of a review.
About twenty minutes past ten His Royal High..,
'tress the DUKE of Yoax, accompanied by the
FkiNcE of WALES: and attended by the Earl of'
- }JARRING:ON and the Staff, came upon the ground.
The general line was formed two deep at close
rankS.' There. was an intervirof five paces betwixt
each Corps, great and small, and each was formed at
clos'e.files,'according to His Majesty's Regulations,
twenty_two inches nearly being all Owed for each file..
The ranks were then opened, and- the Officers ad,
vanced in front. The . several small Corps, when
United,. were considered as a 13attalion, and had no
interval of distinetion between them.
&tell, Corps as had,,guns were allowed sufficient
ground for their standing on the right of each, in
.dditian so the common interval of five. paces.
A signal-gun, a zz.pounder, from -Woolwich,
was posted at a proper place for the advantage of the
whole. -•
On the firing of the first eannon, to norify,His.
Royal Highness's.approach;'the Whole shouldered in
lerfea order, and the guns of the Artillery Corps
"red a royal saluie of 2 r guns.: • .
When His Royal Highness arrived at a central'
Point in front of the line; a second cannon was fired,
and the whole line presented'arms,' Officers saluted;
the drums were beat and the music played God save
the King, once over.• • •
.
-At.- the third cannon,' the Corps shouldered by
Word of command, -supported antis, and remained
- te*V., •
!;, jiti-Royal Highhqss then proceeded to the right
Ift.he line, and passed along from right to left.
At the fourth cannon, the whole loaded, each
Corps by its own command; and each Corpi in the
same mannenclosed its ranks. .
, At the fifth cannon, the firing was commenced by
tne Royal Highland Association, who, occuffing
angle between the right and left wing, 'formed
the centre of the line. ' The vollies were continued
from the -centre- to the flanks of the line, and re-
peated at the 'sixth and seventh signals.
His Royal Highness remaining nearly on the same
ground, the:Line ipassed him in open columns of -
Companies or Divisions,
Thefollowing was the order in which the Corps
were arranged :
