PORTUGAL.

On Monday Taft we informed our Readers that a ,
French Paper of the 16:h contained an article from
Bayonne, (Wing the departure of the Royal Family
of Portugal for the Brazils. This Teems to have been
incorrect. A veffel has arrived at Dover from Bay-
onne, which place The left on the tzthinftanr, when,
as the Captain reports, every thing remained quiet,
and there was no appearance of an invalion of Portu-
gal by the French troops at Bayonne. A mail from
Litbon may now be expeCted every hour.

La(! night we received tome more Altana Newf.
papers, but they limas little intelligence, not being
fa late as thole iteeived in the morning.
A Gottenburgh Mail alfo arrived laft night, but
not of fo late a date as the one that came to hand on
Tuefday.

The article from the Banks of the Danube, given
in another part of onr paper, is copied from a French
paper. It is a curious one, and throws tome light on
the fecret agreement, which we have more than once
infilled had been entered into by the. Courts of St.
Peterfburgh and St. Cloud, to make a partition of!
Turkey. The prefent Grand Seignior, it is Paid, is
to be the laft allowed to reign at the Porte . And
the unblufhing reafon affigned for this is, that he has
(hewn a difpofition to negotiate with England I. •
We know not in this partition of the Ottoman Em-
pire, whether the treaty is to be tripartite,and Auffria
is to come in for its fhire ; or whether the other two
Emperors are the tole devifers. We obferve that
Auliria is to lore the Intrfertal, a province which
renders Saltzburgh of fuch confequence to Vienna.
BONAPARTB makes all his L. :roachments by degrees.
We have no doubt but that the next Rep will be to
cut Au aria off entirely from every approach to Italy.
—The refult will be, that France will gain all the
immenfe fea frontier which the Emperor knew not
how to ufe, with its foreits, its &fin ics, and its means,

of hearing to him a formidably r.avy, by which he
may in future make all the Eall his own.

GENOA, SEPTEMBER 3.

VENICE, OCTOBER r.

The key of Egypt, Alexandria, is !till in poffelLon
of the Englifh, whofe agents with the Mamelukes in
Upper Egypt, are exerting all their influence to
bring them over to the Englifts intern, and induce
them to make a combined attack upon Cairo. All
the difpofeble troops at Malta, which were not able,.
lutely necciary for the defence of the fortrefs, have
failed for Alexandria, which at leaft proves that the
Englifts do not really intend to evacuate Egypt, as
the laft accounts from London might have led us to
believe.

The iflands in the Archipelago are in fo bad a Rate
of defence, that they mull necefarily become the
prey of the power who may &It attempt to conquer
them. The SCUP Mends are now entirely occupied
with French troops, whole number is daily aug-
mented, and who will make fuch preparations for
their defence as (ball effeltually (acute them againft
any attack of the Englifh. Sicily is without troops,
but there is little reafon to expea an expedition
againn that ifland from the Neapolitan territory, as
the French army there he: hitherto only abed on the
defenfive ; and, (Mould it undertake offenlive opera-
tions, tehy will be direrned towards the call ; fince
Sicily, as well as Sardinia, in the cafe of a maritime
peace, muff fall either to France or the Allies cf
France. The piratical Rates of Barbary continue
their &venation: undinurbed, but are careful not to
irritate France, or the countries under the imme-
diate proteCtion of France. With the Englifh cow.
menders in the Mediterranean they have frequent
conflias.

COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER tr.
The Eng Hilt general, Lord Cathcart, has muttered
all the Engli(h troops in the vicinity of the Capital,
from which it is concluded, as alfo from the expre .
(ions of many of the enemy's Officers, that every
thing is ready for their departure ; and kt is fetid their
embarkation will take place the beginning of oe;t
week.

Since the day before yeflerday the Englilk have
again blockaded the parage between the Ifland of
Zealand and the Viands Moen, Laland, and FaMen,
aid no more Chip's paffes will be given. This it is
fuppcfed is to prevent the defertion of the Hanove•
rians, between whom and the Englilk fo great an
enmity prevails, that there have been feveral bloody
afrays between them.
*thfiftianfand was fummoned by au Englifh fqua.
don in the beginning of September. The (ammo; a
however was rejefled, and the enemy, on attempting
an attack, bravely repulfed.
