lated to lie on the table of every Ftudious person, as a bo.:k at
constant reference. The retrenchment of many superilnous and
useless articles, having caused a considerable reductia .1 in size,

ARITHMETIC.
This day was published, closely printed, price Ss. Sd. boutid,

'THE ARITHMETIC of REAL LIFE and
BUSINESS, adapted to the practical USE of SCHOOLS,
including a complete reformation of ail the Tables of Weights and

Stocks, &c. &e.; and MORE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES under
every Rule than are to be found in any other Book of this Kind.
By the Rev. 1. JOYCE

Author of Scientific Dialogues, &c. &c.
Every man of business in the British Empire must recollect how
much he had to unlearn in the practice of Arithmetic, when
having left 4clioal he first entered into the commerce of life, and
also how little' he had iearnt which was strictly applicable to real
transactions. The present System of Arithmetic, ditle•barding the
' fetters of its predecessors, has consulted alone the actual and pre-
vailing occasions for the exercise of this useful Art. Every
branch of trade and manufacture has been sedulously consulted
in the new exemplification of the various Tables of Weights and
Measures; every thing obsolete or useless in other bucks of
Arithmetic has been expunged; and every thing has been intro.
duced that is essentially necessary.

DOWNINGSTREEr, SEPT. 16.
A Dispatch, of w!,irn the following is a copy, was received yes-
terday evening from Lieutenant Cfincr..l Sir 1-Vw Dalrymple,
Commanding his Majesty's troops in Portugal, addressed to
Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his Ma.ittsty's Principal So-
cretaries of State, and brought by Captain Dalrytnpl.;, Military
Secretary to Sir Hew Dalrymple.

Head Quarters, Cintra, September 3.
MY Loan—l have the honour to inform your Lord-
ship that I landed in Portugal, and took the com-
mand of the army on Monday the" tt2d of August,
the next day after the battle of Vimiera, and where
the enemy sustained a signal defeat, where the valour
and discipline of British troops, and the talents of
British Officers, were eminently displayed.
• A few hours after my arrival, General Kellermann
came in with a flag of truce from the French Gene.
ral in Chief, in order to propose an agreement for a
cessation of hostilities, for the purpose of concluding
a convention for the evacuation of Portugal by the
French troops. The inclosed contains the several ar-
ticles at first agreed upon and signed by Sir Arthur
Wellesley and General Kellerman; but as this was
done with a reference to the British Admiral, who,
. whop the agreement was communicated to him, ob-
jected to the 7th article, which had for its object the
disposal of the Russian fleet in the Tagus, it was ti- I
nally concluded that Lieutenant Colonel Murray,
Quarter Master General to the British army, and Ge-
neral Kellermann, should proceed to the discussion of
the remaining articles, and finally to conclude a con.
vention for the evacuation of Portugal, subject to the
ratification of the French General in Chief, and the
British Commanders by sea and land.
After considerable discussion and repeated refer-
ence to me, which rendered it necessary tbr me to
avail myself cf the limited period latterly prescribed
for the suspension of hostilities, in order to move the
army forwards, and to place the severalcolumns upon
the routes by.which they were to advance, the Con-
vention was signed, and the ratification exchanged
the 30th of last month.

That ao time might be lost in obtaining anchorage
for the traniports and other shipping, which had for
some days been, exposed to great peril on this dan.
gerous coast, and to insure the communication be-
tween the army% and the victuallers, which was cut
off by the badness of the weather and the surf upon
the shore, I sent orders to the Buffs and 42d regi-
ments, which were .on board of transports with Sir
Charles Cotton's fleet, to land and take possession of
the forts on the Tagus whenever the Admiral thought
it proper to do so. This was accordingly carried
into execution yesterday morning, when the forts of
Cascias, St. Julien and Bugio were evacuated by
the French troops, and taken possession of by ours.
As I landed in Portugal entirely unacquainted with
the actual state of the French army, and many cir-
cumstances of a local and incidental nature, which
doubtless had great weight in deciding the question ;
my own opinion in favour of the expediency of ex-
pelling the French army from Portugal (by means of
the Convention the late defeat had induced the French
General in Chief to solicit, instead of doing so by a
continuation of hostilities,) was principally founded on
the great importance of time, which the season of the
year rendered peculiarly valuable, and which the '
enemy could easily have consumed in the prcitracted 1
defence of the strong places they occupied, had terms
of Convention been refused them. •

When the suspension of arms was agreed upon, the
army under the command of Sir John Moore had not
arrived, and doubts were even entertained whether
so large a body of men could be landed on an open
and a dangerous beach ; and that being effected,
whether the supply of so large an army with provi-
sionsfrom the ships could be provided for, under all I
the disadvantages to which the shipping were ex-
posed. During the negotiation, the tormer difficulty
was overcome by the activity, zeal, and intelligence ,
of Captain Malcolm of the Donegal, and the officers
and men under his orders, but the possibility of the
latter seems to have been at an end, nearly at the mo-
ment when it was no longer necessary.
Captain Dalrymple, of the 18th Dragoons, my Mi-
litary Secretary, will have the honour of delivering to
your Lordship this dispatch. He is fully informed
of whatever has been done under my order, relative to
the service on which I have been employed, and can
give any explanation thereupon that may be required.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed)

DEFINITIVE CONVENTION FOR THE EVACUATION
OF PORTUGAL BY THE FRENCH ARMY.
The Generals commanding in Chief the British
and French armies in Portugal, having determined
to negociate and conclude a treaty for the evacuation
of Portugal by the French troops, on the basis of the
agreement entered into on the 22d instant, for a sus-
pension of hostilities, have appointed the undermen-
tioned officers to negociate the same in their names,
viz.—On the part of General in Chief of the Bri-
tish Army, Lieutenant-Coloael !qua Kay, Quarter-
Matter-General,. and on the part of the General in
Chief of the Frtncb Army, Monsieur KELLEBMANN,
General of Division, to whom they have given au-
thority to negotiate and conclude a convention to
that effect, subject to their ratification respectively,
and to that of the Admiral commanding the British
Fleet at the entrance of the Tagus.
Those two Officers, after exchanging their full
powers, have agreed upon the Articles which follow:
ART. I. All the places and forts in the kingdom of Portugal,
occupied by the French troops, shall be delivered up to the Bri-
tish army in the state in which they are at the period of the sig-
nature of the present convention.

dred, and the number embarked by the staff-shall not exceed two
hundred. At all events, every facility will be given to the French
army to dispose of the horses belonging to it, which cannot be

VII. In order to facilitate the embarkation, it shall take place
in three divisions, the last of which will be principally composed
of the garrisons of the places, of the cavalry, the artillery, the

every facility shall be given them to return to England, without
delay, and security against capture until thar arrival in a friendly
port.

- XL The French army shall be concentrated in Lisbon, and

Hew Dalrymple.
Hibernia, off the Tagus, Sept. 4.
Sir—Herewith I have the honour to inclose to you,
for the information of the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty, a copy of a Convention entered into
by me, with Vice Admiral Seniavin, commanding
the Russian fleet in the Tagus ; by which it will ap-
pear to their Lordships that such fleet has been surren-
dered to me, to be held by his Majesty as a deposit,
until six months after the conclusion of a peace be-
tween Russia and England.
I have charged Captain Halsted, First Captain of
the Hibernia, and Captain of the Fleet, with the de-
livery of this dispatch to their Lordships ; he was sent
by me to negociate the Convention with Vice Admi-
ral Seniavin, and will be able to explain every par-
ticular.

To Captairi Halsted I feel greatly indebted for his.
able advice and assistance upon all points of service ;
his zeril and diligence have been exemplary, and en-
title him to my highest commendation.
Rear Admiral Tyler has been directed to superin-
tend the first division of the Russian fleet, which I
purpose ordering under his protection immediately to
Spithead ; to him (since with me) I have been in-
debted. for every-assistance, and to the Captains, Offi-
cers and crews, of those ships, that have been employ-
ed throughout a tediously protracted blockade, (by
whom every exertion has been made with a degree of
cheerfulness doing them infinite honour). I. feel ex-
tremely grateful, and deem it my duty to offer every
possible testimony of my approbation in their favour.
I have the honour to be, &c.

Hon. W. W. Pole, &c. &c.

AU4UST, 'ON AN ARTICLE IN THE STAR OF
THE BTH ULT.

Monitior—u It is true that 40,000 men of die last constririoa
are going to Germany:"

Our statement in the STAR of August Bth, -is here I
admitted; but, if we may credit the French Editor,
they are only to replace veteran troops which have
been drawn off for Spain, and the grand army win
rather be diminished than increased : no symptom
this of hostile intentions—meaning towards Austria!
We repeat our assertion : the destruction of Austria
is determined on by France, and, when these troops
began their march for Germany, Napoleon had no
• idea, that 66 wtainta and want of courage" would, in
Spain, cause his armies-to be covered with disgrace.
This he has experienced—to this, and to this alone,
by the admission of the Afonitear, we are to attributc
the orders that have rinse been issued, for the march
of some of his veteran battalions, from the same
quarter to which he was sending his new
66 Had the French eagle" been permitted " to cover
Spain with her wings" we ask this plain question..
In what service were these battalions to have been
employed? We ask also—For what purpose was the
conscription of Rhenish Federation ordered to take
the fiehl ? These orders were issued before Napoleon
knew that any other battalions would be requiced to
Spain thin those that were already there.
Montour—"'The presence of the English Army in Sicily is tot
felt there experience will silty., whether it be able to (Weed
Sicily."

This is a stronger truth than the French Editor
intended to admit. We ask him to point out to us
any country in which a French army, of nearly twenty
thousand men, has resided, without their presence
being felt—severely felt, by the miserable inha-
bitants, as the most dreadful curse with which
any people can be visited ? Does he mean that the
Emperor's decree to dispossess the rightful sovereign,
has been carried into effect in Sicily ? The British
army went to prevent this, and ig experience will shew
whether it be able to defend Sicily."—Experience
will also shew whether it will not be necessary for
the French Emperor to march back his conscripts
from Germany for the defence of the kingdom of
Naples itself.

France and her Allies can at once make war against Austria its(
Spain, when, without Allies, she has conquered four coalition%

execution olany project hehad once formed ? We sar
issrpinti, for we know he has not abandoned his design;
against Austria. Unfortunately far Napoleon, it ii
not true that " France has conquered four coalitions
tea time more formidab&•.".. He knows that till now he
never met with a formidable enemy ! He knows this,
and hence the anxiety shewn in the Monieurto persuade
Francis that the march of troops into Germany was
no indication of hostile intentions towards Austria !
With whom had France to contend before ? With
Governments worn out with intrigues and cor-
ruption, with parade officers, the favourites or
Court Ladies, the bastards of degenerate Nobles,
whose parents had not honesty enough to provide for
their maintenance, ;rid therefore thrust them into the
army—With hireling soldiers who had nothing in
common with their fellow-subjects—who were mere
frequently employed to oppress than to protect them—
With an enslaved, insulted, depressed peasantry, to
whom no change could possibly happen, that could,
in their own estimation, place them in worse circum.
stances. Can any numerical force, guided by such
heads, and composed of such materials, be called for.
midable ! If to Austria another Austria were to be'
added, in a contest against the power of France, we
should much fear, notwithstanding the lessons which
Austria has had, that there is still so much left of the
old leaven, that the contest would not be an equal
one. But when a whole people is roused, when the
cause is their own ! the Power that ventured to'prbse.
cute a war agajot them cannot but view them as-L..
" ten times more formidable" than an ill-cemented
coalition, composed of jarring materials, and guided
by imbecility and folly. Napoleon knows. this well,
and hence the suspension of his projects against Au -
tria. What gave energy to France ? What created
and formed her armies ? The answer to this question
will show whether a whole people in arms, determin.
ed not to submit to an-invader, are a formidable,ene-
my to the man who is wicked enough to make the
'attempt to enslave them.
