,We are happy in being able to state, from the
information of an intelligent Officer, who' lately
served in Portugal, that-the Portuguese Army is
extremely- well appointed, .and that the Troops
are truly respeoable; while the Spanish' Army is
‘quite the reverse.
The Duke of Clarrace Packet is arrived in
twenty-four days from New York,- aild brings an
account that Mr. Jai,raasort ii.elefted President
of the United States of America. His -eledion
appears to have been contested with great ani-
mosity. The parties of BURR and JtarattsoN
struggled hard for the Presidency, which oc-
casioned some confusion., The balloting "watt
renewed thirty-one times during three successive
days, at the end of which it was found that the,
Candidates had an equal number of votes. The
thirty-second time, however, decided the contest
in, favour of Mr. JEFFERSON, same of Mr. Btraz's
friends having ‘ieen persuaded -to give way, to
preveni thc eleftion of a President pro iempore,
which at one time it was cxpeted would have
taken place.
After the EleEtion was' confirmed, A salute of
16 guns was fired on the occasion.
Yesterday a Court of Proprietors was held at
the. Bank, for the purpose ordeelaring the Half
Yearly Dividend.
That being done, Mr.TIIOIMTON addressed the,
Meeting, by obierving that there remained the
sum of 582,0001. Navy 5 per Cent. Stock, which
had been funded in the hands of ill,: Bank, Which
it was the intention of the DireClors, if agreeable
to the Proprietois, to divide with the Half-year!),
Dividend on the sat of May next ; this was una-
nimously agreed to The division will amount
to 51. of 5 per cent, Stock' on every ;.hundred
pounds Bank Stock. •
The West India Fleet, under,convoy of His
Majesty's Ship Encrald, sailed-from the-Cove of
