CASTLE OF ST. LEWIS.

QUEBEC, SEPT. 9, 1807.—The President and
Commander in Chief of the Province lining re-
ceived the Returns of the Militia who, have been
commanded, under the General Order of the 20th
August, to hold themselves in readiness for ath
service ; having also received from the Commanding.
Officers of Battalions in the, DistriAs of QU(;bec,
"Nlontreal, and Three-Rivers, a detailed Report of the
spirit ntri disposition manifested by their respeaive
Corps, feels, it incumbent on him, in the most pub-
lic manner, to express his perfect
.approbition of
Abe conduct of the whole of the ;Nlilitia on the pre-
sent occasion ; with the exception only of some few
individuals, who by their ill condua have rendered
themselves contemptible in the opinion of their fel-
low-subjf

The -President also feels himself justified in asr
shert,ing, thin a more ardent devotion to his.Majestysi
Person and Government has never been witness d.
in any part of the British Dominions and it' is !Mae-
tictdatly to,be remarked, that, the idea of defending.
theirown families and their own property, has ap-
pftte,l in a manner to have been absorbed in the
raibds of all descriptions of Subjeas in this Pro-
vince, by the more general sentiment of coming for-
ward in,the Cause of it justly beloved Sovereign, and
in stfpport Of a Form of Government .whisch hasp
.
been proved by experience to be the: bust; caleniated
for promoting the Happiness and securing the Li-
berties of Mankind.
Time AdjiitanttGeneral has it in command, to make
known to the Oilicers, Non-commissioned Otrfrers
and Privates of the Militia, the President's warmest

approbation al their condud ; and t'or this Purpose
be will transmit a Copy of ale present Getwral Or-
der to the several Cotnmanding Otlicers, who will
cause the same to be•publicly read to heir re,petlive
C,orps. They will at the same time make known
to them, that the. President will avail himself of the
earliest opportunity to trailSOlit at' account- of their
,condua to the Soca:raj), of State, fur the informa-
tion of their most gracious Sovereign, assuring,thein
moreover, that he will consider it as the highest hap-
piness of his life to have had such an opportunity of
doing justice tO the zeal,* loyalty, awl public, spirit
of His Majesty's aubjeets in this Province.

Tits 'affairs of Portugal continue in the same State !
of Uncertainty. We entreat our Relaters, before
they listen to the accusations of the Morning Papers
aniiinst our Minister :1 for not having, tune atro
sent a Fleet into the Tagus Co consider the situation
in which such a measure Wisold have placed the
English in Portugal. They have now (who
chose it) been able to bringioff theielatnilie3 and

property. • ' .
Ti)e jtmetion of, the Itussian and Portupese Pleet3
is by no means a cause of apprehension.: They are
neither of them in a state which Would' make, tht-ir
reaistance to an. English Squadron 3 inruter of inUch
importance.

The. Russian Fleet, too, is

British SubjeCt,,, Admiral Out' to, thy. Second in
Command .(Son oftl farno4 s'comin totter of th.it
'Dame), and most of the-Captains„ =are in, this situa-
tittn ; and we have-good reason to believe, :that the
tnu,"ol., they were to perceive the 'signal for batik
flying oo.boa.rd of a Briiidi Ship, they wookl retie e
to their cockpits, or deliver I heinselves op to. the
13ritish Admiral.

'We are convinced that those who'manarred the
Expeditiop to Copenhagen, with a -F,C creey, energy,
(and success, acknowledged by all parties, will h.ive
a vay good itcoLtut to give of our triniactinni
tiole Tagus. the Opposition Wriierci

martmuse thernselves with spetalationt, as to what
104 d GRENVALLIS aid Colleagues would base
done; they' may vow an.lprotet4,, and swear 'as'
much as they please, that the late Ministers
" would have made Foreikn Nations desirous- of
connection with Us," as, long as they acknowledge,
as they virtually do, that Lord GRENVILLE may
did none of these mighty deeds, we are quite satis-
fied:

But according to one of those‘Writers, all their
failtitt was owing to the ill' success of the Catholic
Bill! They have-wore than insinuated, that if the
KING had been empOwered to make a Roman Ca-
tholic Master-Gentral (lithe Ordhance, the Russian
Fleet would never have got into the Tagus. We have
read somewhere of a Butherint, who was per-
fealy satisfied that it At.t:>..‘Noi:tc the Glu had
never beaten .DARitis, she never would have been
called Bridsetina,—The cases are SOUIC what similar.

Ministers, for the perpose of es.pldining the incon;

Merchants, under,the late Orders of Council, and
to prayjor. relief. The subject was under discus-
sion for upwards of an hour, but was at length tenni-
nalediby a,Geutletnan, who observed, that Ministers
had already given every necessary attention to the,
subject, and had granted every reasonable indulgence
to the American Merchants; that he considered the
measure resorted to highly necessary at the present
crisis, and. solicited the Chair Man to. decide the (06-
tion by a shew of hands. The question was put,
and negatived ; only one solitary band being held up
for it. This event is alike creditable to the-good

as those driven from their Thrones by BLIONAPAnrs,
are the personages who realty constitute the proces-

on the subjea, earnestly requesting that nothing in-
dicative of the KING of PRUSSIA should appear itt ,
