dared war against this Country, she has prObai,!7
acted from that degree of tear which the
chardier of the grencli Ruler, )is vaq
strength, and the ileperlency ot 'most of the Con—,
tinental States on h‘s.. Must.rreterally have ex.
cited. All these dependent States, in case of a rapt;
lure between France and Austria, must of course
have been obliged 'to 061 against the latter,.and no-
'thing but her ruin could mine., That Austria en.
.
deavours to, cover the policy preduced by fear with a
pretended disaPprobathin' of the' conditet of Great
Britain, is to be eXpe&ad, for it cannot be' supposed
that she would unveil her real motives, and she
mast assign soma 'plea' for any hostile step, she'
may be obliged to. take against this Country.
In this unfortunate state of things she is to be pitied,
as she would doubtless be 'anxious to support her
connexions with tlifs ConntrY,, if she .cdnid do do
with:as. much -safety as. honour. Bin she sees ,tffe•
throne of Portugal on tbe,eve of snOversionandbps
reason to believe that a. similar event will soon fol- '

pelled to abet lite views of France to preserve. /-1W•

not be considered is any very weighty, *llion to the,
diffieulties
,with which we have,to contend.
The fate of Portug..al.has doubtless long been de:'
cidedby'France, but' the reason given by the French
Ruler f6r the detholition of its ancient Government
would.be absurd iideed, if: it was a,signed by any
body but a man :who, is totally regardless of the'
opinion -Of the world. 1311.0NAPART reason for
overturning the 'Royal 'HOuse. of BRAGANZ.I, is,
that the Engliish were 'suffered to':remove their
'property: front Portugal, though she was in al-
liance.. With Great Britain, and had experitmced
from' her every possible testimony of respect and
friendship. -that Spain will soon exhibit the saute
catastrophe it .would be,absurd .to doubt, after the
events which have recently occurred in that Country.
The charge against the -PR-IN:6E of ASTURIASiS eviL •
dently.the result of ti French plot, to bring ruin upon_..,
himself and his faintly... 'The probability, however,.,
'is that ,the. PEINCE 0( PEACE, who has been the •
chief engine of this plot, will not, eceive the reward:
of treachery 'which hiS arribition ma); 'expeel, but
that ,the Spanish Thump is reserved fersotne branch
of the Tingerial'House of Corsica.
In addition to this melan':!.oly account of the
'state Of affairs abroad, it is v.iih much satisfaffion
that, from accounts on wl. ch we can most confi-
dently .depend, our Countrymen,• amidst all the
,pressures arising from an inevitable War, arc to be
congratulated op their state, .compared Compared with the
Situation of the French People, amidst all her tri-
umphs?'..for:suCh is the reign of terror in France, as
we are assured by an . tuts lligeitt gentleman, upbn
whose veracity 'we can impliCitly rely, that nobody
in that,unhappy Cotintry dares preSunie to utter any,
sentiment respeEting political affairs, without being
-exposed to.the danger of being accused of holding
some connexion with this Country, of being seized
in-Consequence, and of 'never. being 'heard of any
more: The news of Or success at Copenhagen
threw BUONAPARTE into a state that . seemed to.-
be, absolutely madness, atia he burst, into the.
most frantic ,expressions of vengeance against this
Country, ' and every thing canna:led, with it. , It ,is
truly hiMentable that all Europe should be thus de-
pendent on the capriciOus will nottviolent temper, of
a single individual ; but it is hardly to be supposed
that this deplorable state of , things should continue
long, as.the people alt over the Continent lutist re-
fieg, though at present they dare not speak, and
therefore ,must be convinced that Great Britain only
aims at the preservation of herself, and the happi-
ness of the civilized' world, and that France is the
general disturber of mankind, and is obliged to at
from the mere,impulse of the aMbition and revenge
of anindividual. . . . -

The want of British shipping was, we understand,
much felt at Oporto previous to the sailing of the
Fleet under employ of the LaVinia. It was appre-
heuded that several hundred casks of wine, and a
quantity of other merchandize, would he left .be-
hind; but the Merchants fortunately were able to
hire .n 'number of Brazilquell, at front .81,, to 101.
per ton, so that there is not a cask left behind. The
Laviiiia spoke .several of the Lively's convoy (from
Lisbon) which had parted from that Ship, and been
33 days at sea. •

It is not generally known that gEBASTIANI,. the
Pencil Minister to the Ottoman. Porte, is a cousin
at BOONAPARTE, and therefore it is 'sotneWkit ex-
traordinary that, being nearly related bathe Imperial
Family in France, he slunild be suffered to remain
in a-state of diplomatic degradation, wlaeti he
`raiber be expe&ed to take his rank. among the new
