MONDAY, JANUARY Zt, 1805 s

A Lisim Mail arrived in town this morning,
brought by the 'Diana Packet ; the 'Letters arc
dated the loth inst. The only inrtzesting
geno they contain is, that a Memorial had been
transmitted to the Court of Lisbon by the PRINCE
of PEACE, the objeCt of which was to ;miller that
Power to shut its Ports against the English. At
the date of these adttices no answer bad been re-
turned. It was expelled at Lisbon that the E►cpe.
aition preparing. in England was destined for the
rotation of Portugal. '

Tu FRS are now no leas than nine Han:burgh
Mail: due : we have, however, received the Dutch
Papers `to the t zth inst. but they are' now to com.
pletely under the influence, or rather the controul of
the French, that the intelligence they contain
must be received with considerable suspicion.
It it stated in a Letter from Frankfort, that
the French Minister, SAL I C STT 1, has, con.
eluded a Treaty, on the part of the Imperial
Republic,'with the Liguriau Independent Republic,
by which the latter ,voluntarily consents that all
her Porto, Arsenals, and Dock-yards, shall be put
in the disposal of France during the War, for the
purpose of constructing Ten Sail of the Line, and
also to furnish France with 6000 Seamen during
the same period. Vie dos not think it necessary
at present to occupy the time of our Readers
ith any speculation about the Ten Sail of the Line
which arc intended to be built ; big with reaped to
the six thousand Seamen, we believe the Ligurian
Republic will find it very difficult to .comply with
that part of the Treaty. It is very svcll.known
that great numbers of Gefloti,e Sailura were forced
into the service of France at the cortonencement of
the War, for the purpose (Smarming the Flotilla, and
the French Papers boasted very much of the advan.
tage that would he derived from the acknowledged
skill of the Genoese Sailors in the management of small
vessels. It is probable, however, that this Treaty
is not correaly stated in the Dutch Papers : we
ettapesft the Ligurian Republic has undertaken to
furnish the men 'when the Ship: are built. If this
be the case, the stipulation does' not appear so very
difficult to be executed on her part.
The accounts from Spain, which are evidently of
French fabrication, speak of the most Relive and for-
.
nibble preparations for carrying on the War with vi.
sour against this Country. Every effort is:making to
equip the Spanish Marine, which is now said to
consist of no less than SixoPur Sad of the Line.
Whether in this number arc included the Ships which
it may be in contemplation to build, we are not
told ; but we believe the Spanish Government will
find it very difficult to ,procure half that number in a
state fit for service. It is stated that an attempt
Was to be made by the Spaniards to carry Gib.
Sakai by a coup dr main. We should have been per.
ferny easy as to the result of such an attempt, even
if it had been made at the time when the contagion
was at the highest ; but now that we know the
malady has entirely ceased, and that General Fox
has arrived there with very large reinforcements,
there cannot he the slightest ground for uneasiness
respeaing that .valuable Possession.

We have received the .4"Ber;call taps*: to the
t sth alt. They contain nothing new, except a re.
port that. the French had evacuated the City of St.
Domingo, and had surrendered themselves to. the
British Squadron cruizing off the Island, Though
this circumstance is not stated very positively
in the American Ripers, yet we think h by no
meant improbable. The last accounts we received
from stated that the French force in the
city of St. Domingo was reduced to 6ao men, and
that DessAtty as proposed to attack it in the course
of the present month. Although the Fte4leil might
bi able to resin an assault, yet, without any chance
of reinforcements or supplies, they could not hope
to Maintain "a siege le r any length of time ; it is,
therefore, very probable that General yulthtalo has
followed the example of General Roettmapewtr,
acti surrendered to the British rather than run the
risk of falling into the h,lntis of the Blicks, from
wham they cool ~I z..4pe4t no mercy!
