In short, the whole is mystery, and it should be
so. Our management of Ausiia and Portugal are
most•diffioult points, and Ministers would be highly
blameable if, they sud'ered their arrangement to be
embarrassed by premature explanations.

We shall only add, .that to have prevented the
RUssian Fleet from entering the Tagus,; by Mama-
ing that River, was ierpossible;,,to have sent a &Juno.:
drop Into the Tagui would, have made it necessary
for the Prince at once to declare himself, and would
have endangered the Persons and Property of all
British Subjeetsin_Portugal, which have, under the-
measures pursued, been._ entirely preserved. This,
which was one grearobjea of a6y interference, has
CoMpletely been accomplished. The other
.ohjc6l,
that of preventing France from making use of the
Fleets' and Arsenals of Portugal, is as easy of ac-
comPlishtnent nt w, as it ,was , two, months ago.
The -same circumstait`ces, perhaps, which make a
blOckade impossible, make an attack easy..
This view of the subject considers the PRINCE
REGENT as hastily inclined towards us ; but some
persons have accused'Ministers of leaving a friend'
in the lurch: The Public may be assured, that our
not Interferingbetbre has been entirely conformable,
to the wishes of the Portuguese Government, , ,
It must ,be allowed that the PRINCI; REGENT has
had a most ditlieult.part toa6t,,expoSed as he is to at-
lacks by land and sea. He ought not hastily (6 be ac-
'cused of treachery. !The has hithei to been inclined to
consider France as a more.poWerful, protellor than
England, the declaration of BuowAPAiTE, lately in-
serted in the Moniteur, have very probably befotit ,
this time induced Linn to consider her ,also as
a more dangerous friend.

We have expressed our sentiments upon the whole
subjea with a considerable degree of doubt, because
We are not in the habit of forming strong opinions
without fags. We hope, however, that we shall,
soon be- able to communicate a more satisfaaory
statement.

A well•known native of Ireland,, whose name we
do not think it proper to. mention at present, who a
few years ago made a distinguished figure. in our
fashionable circles, particularly those ehietly occu-
pied in play, and who was among the prisoners
Verdun, contrived to obtain • leave to visit Paris,
where he has rendered himself so acceptable to the
French Goyernment, that it is said he has adually.
been sent upon a secret mission. to/ Vienna... It is.
confidently rumouied, thiit it ,is the intention of
BuoNAP.tIItE to coiled as many of the Irish together.
as he cm, who are spread over different parts 'attic
Continent, in -order to assist in :his.long-meditatal:
attack on Irelankand,i(is suspe6ted that the above:
nrtentionened person bas heen sent to 'Vienna to 'pro-
mote this design, 'particularly', as there are two or
three other Irishmen in that Capital who are not
unlikely to embark. in any desperate enterprie.

It seems to be.the inteittintt of -RUONAPAUTZ'ter
• L• •
excite the Roman Catlioll9sagainst .thtscountry,;.as
the French writers have lately,titieeted .to pity the
state of theii: Catholic Brethren IrclanA'and have'
declared,: that if we attempted to take the
the Catholics would rise in abhorrence against! us.-
As these references to the Roman Catholics are
doubtless intended to have a particubtr operation
upon the people.of Alta: persuasion in Ireland, it
would be right to remind them, that wh:;ri 131/ONS-
FARTd invaded Egypt, he assumed a Atilionietin)
additicolo his name, ,ausi etttleavOured to conciliate
the minds•of the Infidels by assuring them :that' ha
was net a: Christian, but had humbled 'the Head
of the Roman Cathelie Church. :The Catholics.
then may seriously relle6t what benefits they are
likely to derive fiom 'a man who made a merit of
having abjured their Religion, who obliged the hie
Head of their Church to leave the seat of his sacred
Government at an advanced age of life, to ti•aVel into
a foreign country, ' where he mitt expas4(f .tb the
grossest insults, and where he'died in poVerty and
afiliaion—ancl who compelled the preSent Pontiff
to make a journey toParis in order to Crown him,
to the exclusion of the rightful Heir'Of the French
Monarchy, and who will probably, in the end, de-
prive that Pontiff of all his dignities and *sessions, •
while he attefts tO consiler himai the laid of that
Church which it is his do.ty to obey with implicit
submission, if he has any 'belief in its doarines.—:
This subjeB is more worthy of notice than people
in general ire aware of, who do not study the cha-
raaer,' and attend to every measure of the present
Preach Ruler. ,

On Wednesday his Majesty was pleased to order
the Parliament to be further prorogued, from the
17th day of December to the 21st day of,January,
then to meet for the dispatch of business.
In consequence of the Hon. HENRY RIDER kissing
the King's hand, upon his being appointed to the
Office of Judge Advocate General, Lord HAWKES.
RUBY introduced him to the Privy Council, when
he was sworn in a Member, and took his seat at the
Honourable Board accordingly.

tioverntnent determined
yesterday upon the for.
tpittich of a new Board, or Committee, for the ma-
nagenient of maps, charts, and drawings of Islands,
Harbotirs, &c. comprising all necessary nautical and

and 'Navy. The tollowing Members constitute the

A Morning Paper speaks of certain changes in

not believe one syllable of the matter.
The Danish Islands in the West Indies were de-
clared in a state of blockade early in September. A

one of their Port's, was captured and carried into

The following Proclamation, has been issued by
Cimino/gm. It miens, we believe, more than the
President of Hayti
,was Justified in declaring. We
have no reason to suppose that our. government has
gone so far 'as to make a formal recognition of his
authority. So solemn an aa is not to be inferred from
the commercial intercourse which some adventurous,
individuals have established, and are labouring to ex-
tend, with the State of Hayti
