WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1808.

The Phoebe Frigate arrived at Portsmouth yester-
day, with Sir HEW DAL.RYMPLE on board. Sir
Wm. SCOTT has also arrived ,at Portsmouth from
Lisbon : he came home in the Mote.

Private Letters from Lisbon, dated the sth inst.
which came by the Phcpbe, state, that when Gene-
ral lELLERMAN, who was on board the Africa*,
was relanded at that capital, he was recognized by
the people, who seized him, and though our
Officers effeaed hisrescue, he received se% cral wounds,
some of a dangerous nature, from the enraged Portu-
gue;e. KELL.CRUAN, apprehensive of such treatment,
camb on shore in plain cloaths, and
.mixed with our
officers in hopes of escaping deteaion. It is to be hoped
that this condua, on the part of a people who. had
been cruelly oppressed, will have some effect; upon
those Frenchmen who are to be forced into Spain
merely to gratify the ambition of a Tyrant.
,Our
Troops at .Lisbon had not =basked when the
•
Phcebe came away:

We trust the Friends of the Duke of NORFOLK
and Mr. GRATTAN will lose no time in stating ex-
plicitly to the Pabiic, the authority upon which they
made the proposition to Parliament respeaiing the
Roman Catholics. We cannot bring ourselves to
believe that the Nobleman and Gentleman alluded
to would intentionally endeavour. to mislead .Parlia7
men;, by making an unauthorised proposition ; and,
on the other hand, it is difficult to believe, that upon
,f,,0 important and delicate a subject, a mistake could be
made; we cannot suppose that the Duke of 7,‘TottFoLk
and Mr. GRATTAN would have made such an offer
on the part of the RoMan C:.:holics of Ireland,,,vith;
out a distinal written authority from the Repiesen-
tatives Of that Body. The Public have a right to'
see that written authority, if it exists, and to know
fro:n what gnat-ter it was received, because the pro-
position was solemnly and uney'livocallir made in
both Houses of Parliament, for the purpose of in-
,fluencing their determination upon :a 'question then
pending. The onus piolundi in, this case lies
upon
,the Duke of NonFoLx, Mr. GRATTAN,
and the friends of the . late Administration.—
Their credit is at stake, because the late Re-
solution of the Roman Catholic_ Bishops, in Dub-
lin, is direbly at variance with the proposition made
'in their n ime in the Houses of Lotds and Com-
mons. The Catholic Question seems to be in every
point of view fatal to the late Ministers, and it
Will be a singular circumstance if it should appear,
uPan investigation, that upon the same question
thy have endeavoured to mislead their Sovereign,
1. hese servants they were, and to misrepresent the
lt,iman Catholics, whose friends they professed lobe.

We have .given si few Extraas from some Charlestown
Papers which have reached town. The Embargo bee ins to
!lave produ;:ed considerable dissatisfaCtion in the Northern
--brutes of America, and the people of Boston have, petitioned
the I' resident tor- its repeal. We should think that the
events which have taken place in Spain, when they come 'to
be fully
_known, are likely to produce a change in• Mr. I E 1,-

country, and this must be mucli . more important and advan-
tz,g,!oris to America, than all the trade of France and her
Depenclancies, even though she were permitted.to carry it on
uninolested. —( Abrning Chronicle.)

This i 3 just what we expe6ted. A. 8., the confiden-
tial agent of JEFFER SO. N and his party in this country,
znd the ".excellent correspondent" of The Morning
Chronicle, who watched the public papers with the
ryes of a lynx, and the moment that any paragraph.
appeared expressive of the diScontent which was ra-
pidly rising in America, transmitted a daring and
unqualified denial of it, has now received a hint to
change hip note and, in the face of his former as-

sections, to aciint that " the embargo" (the wisdom
anci.efficacy of whip!), The Morning, Chronicle' has
teen eternally taught to celebrate) seems to have pro-
duced a considerable dissatisfaaion. the Northern
Stoles of America !

The facet is, that Mr. A. B. who, like the monster
Gorgon, is triple-headed—a riddle, which we throw

out to exercise the ingenuity of our readers, is grown
a little impatient at the present state of affairs ; and,
seeing-illat the embargo cannot iniurc-- England, as
he predicted,' and no doubt expearA, is mortified at
