Another Mail arrived this morning, brought by
the Waltingham Packet, in eight days, to Falmouth.
Government received difpatches by this conveyance,
but their contents hive not tranfpired.—The letters
brought by the Mail were not delivered out when this
Paper was put to Preis, and we can therefore only
Rate fuch rumours at have reached us from Falmouth.
Our Readers have already been informed, that on
the 27th ult. the French 4.nd Spanith Ambaffadors,
at the Court of Lifbon, had demanded 'their pat.
ports, in'confequence of the Portuguefe Govert.
meat refuting to acquiefce in the re.quilitiou of NA.
'meow. It is now Rated, that both of thee At.
bafadors quitted Lisbon on the evening of the 4
int. and little hopes are therefore entertained tha:
Portugal, by any conceilion or arrangevacnt, cat
avert the vilitation of a French army. It is after.
tamed, frcm the Faris Papers, that a ronfiderable
force was collated at Bayonne, the middle of lak
month I and it is not improbable, by this time, that
it is far advanced within the Portuguefe frontier.
Various rumours are in circulation refpaling tit
expeaed haft' departure of the Portuguefe Govern
meet for the Brazils; but they are to contradictory,
that we (hall refrain from biting them till the letter:
be delivered from the Pon Office.

Twenty-three pairengers,, =llly Erglifh, have
arrived by the packet ; among others, the family of
one of the principal Britilh merchants, Mr. Bina,.
Lay. This (hews pretty dearly that nn hopes what.
ever were entertained of any arrangement taking
place beneficial to the Englith.

Mr. Gamma Rost, junior, is going on a fpecial
mil Eon to America, Mr. ERSKINE, our prefen' Mini.
fter in that country. being, as we have already gated,
recalled. Mr. Ross was prefented to his MAJESTY
yetterday in his charafter of Envoy to the United
States. This appointment, it is underliond, has bees
occafioned by the Rate of the difcuthons between the
two Governments, which had not terminated, as was
fuppofed, when the departure of Mr. MONROE was
announced.

The objet of Mr. MIRItY'S Million, which we now
under (land to be Sweden, is, as report farther (fates,
to found the inclinations of that Court, as to the fu-
sure occupancy of Zealand: whether his Swnine
MapsTr may to difpofed to defend, or ant in de-
fending it aping the French, during the turtling
winter.

The Pigott, COLLET (an American) detained by
one of our cruizers, is arrived in ten dais from St.
Peterfburgh. A paffenger who reached ti.wn
yefler-
day afternoon Rates, that the exchange in that city,
on his departure, was two per cent. better than it had
been, and that, from the app:arance of things, there
was not the flightell reafon to apprehend a rupture
with this country.
Yeflerday a Court of Directors was helds the Eaa
India Houle, when Capt.RAM,DEN w as Iworn into the

Letters were received yeflerday from Mr. blown,
a Britifh merchant, at Smyrna, which contain ionic
very important particulars relative to the Date cf
Egypt. The Mamelukes and the Arabs are deci& d-
ly in our favour, and it is Rated that the arriral.:ol
Soon Brains troops would induce them to declare
themfelver, and render us completely mattetb
of
Egypt.
There were various reports in circulatiln ye n.
day, relative to the intentions of the Cabinet St.
Peterfburgh. We are lorry to learn that it is a
prevailing opinion with perfons who have access
the belt information from Rullia, that the afcendancy
of French politics in the Government of that coun-
try can no longer be doubted. It is even reported
by an American veffel arrived in 15 days horn
Peterfburgh, that an embargo had been laid rm all
Britifh fhips in the Ruffian dominions. For the t. to
of intelligence c"ming through loch a citannel we
would by no means pledge nurfelves ; but it received
fome credit yetterday on 'Change.
