Vont considerable anxiety has been for some
time past felt in this Country for the fate of .Pur.
fugal; and the last accounts received from that
Country do 'not much tend to relieve it.' They arc
itulied in some measure contradiaory, every person
writing as he is actuated by his personal feelings
and apprehensions, rather than from any authentic
information with respea to the designs of the Chief
Consul of France, or the determinations of the
Court of Madrid. Letters of very good authority
received in this Country,_ positively assert that
the Court of Madrid had peremptorilY- refused
to grant permission to a French Army to pass
through the Spanish Territory for the purpose of
invading Portugal ; and it was added, that the
French Troops assembled at Bayonne, and other
places contiguous to the Spanish Frontier, had ac.
tually.been withdraWn into the interior of France.
However this may be, we may conftlently reckon
that the refusal of the Spanish Government to per..
trait French Trobps , to enter Spain, will only he
persisted in while the Chief Consul does not press
it with vigour, which he will doubtless do the me.
went it suits his conveniency.

The following Letter is given as authentic, and it
certainly presents 4 gloomy pklure of the probable

" The Fox Cutter arrived here last Sunday„ and sails this
evening tor England. I avail mycelf of the oppottutkity to

by Ow A lerVand Packet, as I conceive this Country to be in
very great danger of French Invasion.
.Frepch Troops arc
ajr,,atly in Spain* and our 4mbassador, FR Et at Madrid, is
en)eded every day on
.his way to England. It seems the
Spaniards are determined to unite with France against this
Country, and the Prince,Of AZ! Lsis-atisolutel y fitting
out his Fleet, resolved to quit Europe for his Settlements in
South America. The greatest consternation prevails here,
I much fear the British Fattory will suffer considerably.
hiving few Ships here, and. not one of war to protea them."
'lt is now assetted here, that Ministers begin to
find out their mistake respe4ing Sfiaig, and that
they repent not having intercepted her Treasure
Ships from South America, To this measure we
have repeatedly urged them, as the best security
(Or the continuance of the Neutrality of Spain. The
Spanish Treasure should have been brought, in the
first instance, into British Harbours, and kept as
U.Seenrity for the rigid Neutrality of Spain, and to
be restored at the end of the War, in cane she reso.
lurcly maintained her Neutrality. The conse.
quenctm, Would have been highly favourable' to
Portugal, and the interests of this ciantry. If the
Freilch should have forcibly entered Spain for the
purpose of reaching Portugal, the Spanish Govern.
meat would have been hound to resist, and resent
that violation of her Neutrality ; and she must
either hive declared openly against France, or
hive forfeited the pawn which we held for her
conduft. If the French, fur the first time, afluated
by any thing like principles of justice and mode.
ration, fOrbore to violate the Neutrality of Spa;n,
Pormga/ would have been safe, and we should have
pursued our Trade with that Country uninterrupted;
but all these advantages are lost to us by the timid,
wavering, indecisive concluet, of our Ministers.—
They have, it is said, been Negotiating with Stain,
to know what part she means to aft, and in the mean
time they have permitted all her Treasure to reads
her Ports in safety, the only objr(t for which
she has probably been permitted to profess her
Neutrality so long. By the Treaties which
exist between lier and France, she must gu to
War with us, or what is an equal breach of her
affeeled NeutiAlity, she must furnish to the Chief
Consul the largest part, if not the whole of her
treasure, which our weak policy has put into her
han4l, The probability, however, appears to be,
that the Chief COnsul will be satisfied with nothing
short of the Invasion and Subjugation nf.fortuga/.
We arc hound to make some effort for its salvation,
od it is .itirinfseti that the Force, consisting of abOut
4000 Men, which has embarked under the commlott
of tviajor.Q:n. MOORF, is destined for this Service.
This SOppOSitiOo Solf not improbable, as we lee
tiro other quarter where su small 4 force could at;
with any, effeet. Some effort we couteive necgsary,
but under our present weak and Uraveriog Councils,
we hardly expeft one adequate tit the ohj,*CA. or one
that wLI give us a chance of elOrting ours.:dves with

is conjeEtured; but thorn this subjeft we think all
anticipation fruitless and 111. tinted.

No kind of satisfaCtion is yet given by Ministers
to the Volunteers, for the humiliating measure of
rejeding those services, the oar of which flowed
from the purest motives of patriotism, and which
'alone can place the.Countri in a state of complete
security against an invading Foe. We the more
wonder at the obstinate,silence of Ministers on this
head, as they surely must have had, what they at
least thought, a good reason for checking the Na.

so brightly, and was, impelling the whole Papa.
lation of the Country to take up Arms in its
• defence. The reason of Ministers may ben good
one, though no human lacing can divine it, and as
such, it will of course be satisfadory to the People
at large. But as we at present stand, it appears
as if Ministers had got' the National Ardour
excited (for they certainly, to do them justice,
had no hand in it themselves), for the sole purpose
of holding Englishmen up to the ridicule of the rest
of the World. The People of this Country are a
re4Solling, rational People,--before they art, they
think, and must be satisfied chat they ad upon just
and proper grounds. They became convinced tithe
dangers which threatened them from Invasion,
and they unanimously and manfully resolved to take
up
_Arms for the purpose of meeting that danger,
and of removing it far from their happy shores.—
While, however, they are so ardently engaged in
this laudable' purpose, they are cold that their ser-
vices cannot be received by their Government, but
they are not at the same time told that the danger
of Invasion is diminished—that the Enemy has.
abandoned his design-4r that the Country is
sufficiently secure against any. force which that
Enemy can send against it. Atly reasnn, whatever it
may be, would certainly be be'tter.than none. We
cannot.but think that Ministers are bound to give
a reason, and the Country certainly txpeds'it.

the line, and took their stand in centre; when the Re.
view commenced, the word of:ctimmand being given
by Colonel SN EY n. The Regiment, which is near
1100 strong, and not more than zoo of them of the
Ohl Militia, went through their diffetent evolutions
and firing with all the exaetness of veteran Troops,
and much to HIS MAI EsTY satisfattion. The
ground was kept by the 13th Light Dragoons; the
day was remarkably fine; the Terrace was lined
with the neighbouring Nobility and Gentry, and
the Park crowded with persons who flocked from
an quarters. The Review closed at twelve o'clock,
when the RoY At. FAMILY honoured the Earl of
UX B& i DGE with a visit, and partook of an elegant
breakfast.

The PaiNcess Amci.lA, attended by Lady C.

removed his HeA.quarteri from Chatham to' the
City of Canterbury.
The preparations at Chathamare going on with
the utmost' rapidity. All the Lighters there and at.
Sheerness,are titling up for the reception of carron.

It is expetted that the I'4rts of I! ol Ia n I will be
shortly declared in a state blockade : kor does a
wiser measure suggest itself to us, than to continue
the line of blockade to the utmost extent in our
power. Tie injurious consevences which Insist

FLOTILLA OFF BOULOGNE.

Aug:at 30.—The Enemy are so closely watched
by our Cruizers, and so much harrassed by our
frequent attacks, that they no docbt begin to be
heartily tired of our visits. Yesterday the Dir.
covery, Bloodhound, and ArCher began at eleven
o'clock, and kept up a continual tire with shot
and shells, till four in the afternoon : the Ene.
my at the same time, opened from 'all quarters,
throwing very heavy shells, and very long shot :
but thank God none of them did us any injury.:
One Brig at the end of Boulogne Pier, was set'
on fire by a shell from the Discovery, 'and a good
deal of other damage Was done by the bombardment.
Sept. 3, Eight o'clock.—We have just beat the re.
treat from a but Aaion.with the Batteries: shot and
shells have been flying about like hail for nearly
three hours ; but none of the Squadron, as far as I
could discover, has sustained any injury. Otll.
Vessel fired about thirty shot—our people work the
guns exceedingly well, and with great quickness.
Had not the wind been too mach to the North, we.
should have continued our Attack a little longer.
We have now hauled off' for the night ; burl itna.
'gine we shall be at it again in the morning.
