The following letter has been received in town.—
The information it contains is principally important
asit evinces the continued harmony and co-operation
of the Governments of Great Britain and Portugal :
Fayal, Western Islands, Jan. 30.
14 l sm this moment to embark; permit me just to add, that the
gibish are in full possession of these Islands. A 74, the Eliza-
Captain Curzon, appeared off here about a week since, from
which ship a Mr. Purvis was put on shore with a letter from the
captain to the English Consul, and ether letters from the Gover-
ooze/atm] at Torceira, where she had previously stopped, to the
Gement of this place. The Consul, whose letter I saw, was re-
to deliver those addressed to the Gosernor without delay,
sTthey related to the conduct to be observed by the people of
thee wags towards the English, and their enemies, in conse-
..nct of a requisition made by Sir Sidney Smith, from whose
I;2dr,, ow 74 was dispatched. The Azores have always been
coerbled the granary, not only for Lisbon, but also for Madeira,
„ochierter place is already occupied by 2000 British trelspe. A
conratrahlt fleet has been frequently seen off the Island since the
vinbed, ree, from which there can be no doubttthat troops
ere meat to be landed here and on Torceira and St. Ilachnere,
&W it be fogad necessary. It is no secret that the English di-
rgt veoting, as the French and Spaniards are obliged to quit
the wand. The French and Spanish Consuls have given in their
reresiatins;indeed, the Governor has said to me, that a parties-
bruosiement, of which we had been speaking, wan forming by
the fiction of Sir Sidney Smith. Mr. Purvisa the English agent,
blow occupied in ascertaining (as there is no harbour here) if a
beee can be formed, without too muck expence."
The acquiescence or the Portuguese Government in
her occupation of the Azores, is a sufficient reply,
vet any necessary, to the idle and absurd declama-
tions of the Meniteur on cur having taken possession
of Madeira.

We understand, that the authority for the report
brought by the Rock schooner, of the Rochefort squa-
dron having reached Toulon, is an American vessel,
which was spoken by one of our frigates, and the fri-
gate communicated the intelligence to the Rock. The
American had recently left Rochelle, and the Captain
gated, that before he sailed from that port, an account
bad been received by telegraph of the an ival of the
Rochefort squadron. He farther stated, that it was
believed an army of 59,000 men had been assembled
m the neighbourhood of Toulon. We should not at-
tach much credit to this report, if we were not in-
formed that Sir RICHARD STRACHAN had sailed for
the Mediterranean in pursuit of the enemy. In fact,
it appears from intelligence brought to Plymouth by
the Cambrian frigate, the Hon. Captain PAGET, that'
the Yrenclt,squadron was seen passing the Streights
of Gibraltar on the 2fith or 27th of January: Admiral
Sir RICRAIU) STRACHAV, it is said, passed the Streights
on the 9th of last month. We trust, however, that
the report of the enemy having reached Torsion is not
correct, as Lord COLLINGWOOD, who is in that part of
the Mediterranean, may have a chance of falling in
with them.

We are sorry to state, that although Mr. Han Am.
HNC= is free from the dangerous consequences of his
gcidiat, it is necessary that he should, for some time,
abstain from his personal attendance in Parliarnent.—
The 'absence of men of his character and abilities, is at
all times to be lamented, but particularly in the present
most important discussions.
The vacancy in the Board of Aldermen of Dublin,
by the death of Alderman HUTTON, has been filled
by the election of JOHN CLAUDIUS BERESFORD, Esq.
• Thursday being the day appointed, in Dublin Cas-
tle, for the celebration of her MAJESTY'S Birth, the
same was observed with the usual demonstrations. ••

-----
Tuesday se'nnight the Rev. Pr: Hayes'ofiliggot-
tleeti Dublin, having dined in. company with a friend
at the Black Rock, onlis way home, unluckily took
2 fancy to the Strand as the course hy which to return.
Being dark at the time, the tide also coming. in, he
missed the usual route, and passed. over, swimming
his horse great part of the way, to the battery at the
Pigeon-house, where the Gentleman and horse be-
came victims to his imprudence.

The Captain of a vessel which has just arrived from
apoteh port, states the prevalence of a report through-
etrt the Continent, that BONAPARTE is about to attempt
the execution of his long promised project, for the
establishment of a King of Jerusalem, and that the
art of Constantinople will, according to appear-
ailees, acquiesce in the plan. Possibly the currency'

The Km:. of PRUSSIA has removed his _residence
from Memel to Konigsberg, where he lives in a state
of comparative obscurity. It doei not seem probable
that he will proceed to Berlin for some time—to re-
side in his splendid palaces, without means adequate
~t 0 support his former rank, cannot be grateful to his 1
feelings. Among those who surround his Majesty's
1
Person, arc to be found very few who were formerly
known at his Court. He has discarded the great, or
they have departed from him ; and he has elevated
jr, the hutnble, because among the latter he has, •in hig
adverse circumstances, found more fidelity.
