LONDON, SEPTEMBER 8, tBol.

THIS morning arrived a Mail from Jamaica,
brought to Falmouth by the Duke of York Packet,
in forty.six days ; and a Mail frOm the Leeward
Islands, by the Princes.: Charlotte Packet, in thirty..
four days.

• It was hardly through the channel of the I-Litnburgh

Mail that we had -expeCted to' receive the Treaty,
of Peace between Spain and Portugal, though it has
so happened. Although the Terms of this Treaty
were already known in part, and although it was
easy "to.foresee others, Yet, the `detail of it is never-

theless deserving of some attention. It had been
questioned, whether the expulsion of our Ships
from the Ports of Portugal, had been agreed upon
between that latter Power and Spain ; and it was
supposed, that it, was the Condition on which
France insisted, and which she made .the sine qua
won of her Ratification. It appears, however, 'that
the Cabinet of Madrid has not been less peremptory
in this particular than that of the Thuilleries, for
this is made the Second Article in the Treaty, and
is proposed without either limitation or restriecion
in the letter of it. Fads, however, speak more
loudly than words ; and although, the Treaty was
conciuded on the 6th of June, and ratified ten days
afterwards, /our Readers know, that dUring almost
the wiwie of .last month, our Ships were entering
and departing froin the Tagus at perfea liberty.—
As mach embarrassed by his success as his Adversary

by his reverses, the KING of SpAIN has reserved

tone of ail his Conquests, but the City and Terri-
', tory of Ulivenza, thus restoring all that his Troops
had taken possession of beyond the Guadiana, which
is henceforth to be the common boundary of the
two CountrieS. The dotarine of natural' limits has,
it seems, grown into fashion with the Spanish GO.
vernment, as well as with their Allies.
The Fifth Article will, we conceive, cost Portu-
gal dear, if indeed, she-be in a condition to accom-
plish it ; for it stipulates, that Portugal " shall
make good all damage or' injury which the Subjeas
of His Catholic Majesty may have sustained during
the Wen, from the Ships of Great Britain."---.
We suppose this condition must have undergone
. some modification, or been somehow explained ;
but it is not, however, the only respell in which
this %Vac will cost the conquered dearly, for by the

6th Arnele, t ey are bound to pay in three months
all 'that .shall remain due to Si/ain, 'of the advances
matte by Int latter in the common War, which they
carried on against- France in the years-i 793 and

1794, and which was much :more consistent with
the interests of both these COntraaing Powers, than
that which this Treaty_ has terminated, will be
found to have been with tiiose'of either .of them.

At a moment when •Admind TRUGUIT hqd re-
paired to Cadiz-, in. order to -take the. command of
the Ships belonging to the two -Wations',.=-, aethe
moment when the. French,. through the medium of
the Morning Chronicle, are threatening our Islands
;with attack, the
.'reinforcement brOught by Sir.
dHN BORLASE WARREN to Sir JANIE, SAVNI4RiZ,'.
'must be a satisfaeory circumstance,' It 'Must be
particularly. SO, to the Editor of the Paper to
whiCh we have just alluded ; for he must-see,; that
two months at least :before he suspected that the
rench could have any new designs on the-Ocean,
our.Ministers' had meditated the, prevention of them.'
.We hope that this. Journalist will. heneefOrth
trade his speculations on-the Public, and his Orders
upon Administration, less .despOtically. It is for-
tunate for us -their eyes have-been oPenetlbefore his,
and theii7prospea. is somewhat more extensive. -
While. we are on the iubjea of , this Writer-, we
cannot help, expressing our astonishment at theob-
stinacywith which he is perpetually_lso lately even
as yesterday), bringing forward his opinion respea-
ing the Invasion- with which the French are threaten.
ingfus, All the external demonstrations which they
are making, and the numerous accounts which reach
us on-the subjeft from the'Continent, leave us 'no
doubt-that the Chief Consul is seriously oFcppied
with. that design, the' difficulties and dangers of
which.he dOes not dissemble, but which he will
nevertheless probably attempt, at least partially, if
it be only not to be exposed tolhe charge of false..
hood. Immense preparations, are making in all tlje
Ports of France which are favourable to the design.
While, however, 'we ascribe this plan to.tha Con-

sular Cliserpment; it is at the sami:, tune foir tq

observe, that neither the Generals 110 i the Public
here have any very-good opinion of the attempt._
. Gener4l was lately a.skL at Ham
urgh what he thoasht on the subjed. His,ansvyer

was, that he would not attempt the landing with
less than zoo,ooo men. " I should lose 50,000.01
thein," said he, a but the other 50,000 would
perhaps arrive."--:What -are we to concludefroni
these fads and these opinions I That since our Ene.
roles appear cleterinined on this attempt, thotlgh at
the same time our great Military and Naval re.
sources render the execution of it so difficult, we
ought not to suffer ourselves to sink into that negli.
Bence which could alone give success to it. A want
of precaution on our part is the only chante. which
our. .Enemies have.. The Morning Cbronic4 pay
perhaps preach it up, but must never eipeti that-
'we should be guilty of it.

One HatnhuiTh Mail still remains due.
This being the Anniversary of THEia MAJ ES-
r rs' Nuptials, the ROYAL FAMILY would receive

brilliant displAy of elegance-and beauty.-

A few days ago Lord STAWELL called together
the Alton Troop of Gentlemen and Yeomanry, when
his Lordship asked them on parade, at Bentley,. how
far they would extend their services -in case of- an
Invasion, 'or of an Enemy being on our Coasts. ;--'

As it-''is impossible thiit the French Government
can make 'the People believe the account given in
The Moniteur 'of the last attack op Boulogne, in
opposition to the statement of Lord "Nrtsgpr, the
glaring'impudence and notorious falsehood of that
account can• only bring contempt upon the Govern-
menyhat authorize, its circulition.
' A letter from Frankfprt, of August 22, contains:
the following curious particulars :

("The brOther-in.lacm of the Russian Ambassa.,
dot:(iltlFfance, who left Paris very suddenly.; toy
the IStiiirt of Pctcrsburgh, passed through this pliwg
on hirk9hf and after taking a hasty dinner, im
mediatiir aotinued his journey with the utmost
speed.. -

" Two persons acsompani4d him, one of whom
is a German officer. From the, hints thrown out
privately by the, latter, it appears that the dis-
patches which Count KALXTSCHEFF sent oif, are of
such importance, that he would not entrust them to
any one of his suite, except his relation.

".,It is certain that a Convention between Russia
and France, for regulating: the interests of several
Princes and Sovereigns, especially the Elector BA
VARO-PALATINE, the Kings'of NAPLES and SAR..
DI N lA, Ate Duke of. WIRTEMB ERG, and the Mat..

ever since last Novembey ; and it 4-supposed that
the preliminaries of, this Convention have been at
last settled between M, DE KAL ITCH E FP and Citi-
zen TAkLEYRAND,, and sent to Petersburgh for the
approhation of ALEXANDER I." •
