[The Times]
Letters from Lisbon announce, that a'privateer,
of 20 guns, was off the coast of Portugal, sup-
posed to be one of those ‘vhich have infested that
coast. The only British, ship of war in the
Tagus was the Leven frigate, which had arrived
there from Portsmouth, with dispatches for Mr.
Ward, the Charge-des-Atfaires. The arrival of
Lord BereSford at Lisbon, in the -Lids/ trigate,
vas anxiously ilooked for. The gallant General
sailed a'lew days since from Portsmouth, ticcOM-
panied by the Duke of Bucclench. - •

Advices have been received from Lima, by the

then proceeded to call his witnesses, and the
Court were occupied nearly the rest of tie day'

POOR LAWS,

must be fresh in the memory
of most of your Readers, that (krill:: the last Ses-
sion otVarliament an alteration in the Poor Laws
was art-Owed, and 'tfiat operations were 54) ra-
.,olly carried on, alul litll6noticecljty the Public,
that a BO! adveise to the opinions of the twijor;ty
of the nation had well nigh passed into a Law.—
It is to be hoped that the combined talents and
industry of the Committee now about to be ap-
pointed will produce some plan less exceptionable
than that alluded to; bui in the mean time let
me earnestly call upon the, country at large to
keep a watchful eye upon their proceedings. In the
present stage of the business, it would be sonic,
thing worse than superfluous Were I 'to introduce
any -arguments either pro or con; and I shall,
Therefore, content myself with pointing nut the
subject, hoping that all the Parishes in the King-
dom will provide themselves; as early a's possible,
with a copy of the 3ill, and ins-antiv call a Ves-
try to examine its bearings, and to fulfil their dory
to themselves and their country, by discussing its
merits, and afterwards 'acting with al.icrity, either'
in opposing or favouring it, as they shall, upon
deliberate and !nature consideration, deem proper

and expedient.
