THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1812.

It now seems clear that the first, if not the only
.objet of the Orient squadron, was to interceptiome
of our outward or homeward bound fleets, because
_ .
they remained cruizing in nearly the same spot for
,several days. It appears, from the journal of the
Tremendous, that they were seen on the loth inst.
-ten or twelve leagues to the Westward of Ushant,
and on the 14th they were se-en by the /I,yaden
gate in very near the same lat. and long. under art
easy sail. We entertain, therefore, very sanguine
hopes, from the exertions which have been made to
intercept them, that we shall shortly hear a satis-
faitory account of them.

A letter from an Officer of the Northampton
East indiatnan, Eno bcciz kow►+, whieh
States, alit in the latitude and longitude in which
the Nyaden frigate, saw the aient squadron, and
,three Indiamen, they also saw a frigate firing guns
and making signals; it is therefore ascertained, that
tae Indiamen the French squadron were left in
sight of, were not those under convoy of the 'lnk-
lope, but the three homeward bound ships which
have all arrived, safe at Portsmouth, the .Nort4ampr
t)n hein'g one of them.

Government received Dispatches this day from
C2diz to the 22. d ult. but they contain nothing in-

terestiug.

We have this day made some further eitreis
from the Portuguese Papers which arrived yesterday.
They are not very important; but the intelligence
from that quarter will, we are convinced, soon be-
form, highly interesting. We hate reason to be-
lit've that we shall soon witness the-consequences of
;i.e change". n the Spanish Regency, in the cordial
co-everation of all the parts of the allied force.

The Party are now exerting their uttnost efforts
to induce the Piineess of IiVALEs to put herself at
the head of a Party in oiposition to the PRINCE RE-
CENT, and to enlist themselves under ,her banner.

\\re are quite sure, that at. any time, or under any
circumstances, the illustrious femlle to whoa) we
are alluding would receive advice or that kind with
ti e contempt•which it would deserve; but it would be
au insult to her understanding to suppose that she
could listen to any professions of friendship from the
Party : Credulity itself could not trust them. They
have shewn, that while they were overwhelming
and disgusting the P►•ince of WALES with adu.
lation, and arrogantly assuming to themselves the
delusive title of his" friends," they were looking
Witty to their ov. n interests, and colleding materials_
from the generous and unsuspeEting confidence of
liov al Highness to turn against him, if ever
he should presume to disappoint their ambitious
proje&s: Treachery and ingratitude to an old pa-
tron arc but poor recommendations to the esteem
mind confidence of a new one.
