PORTUGAL.

*The P.tcket mentioned yefierday in our Ship
News to have arrived in Cawfand Bay from Lab"
was the Piincefs Elizabeth. The Raven gun-brig,
from the fame port, has alto reached Plymouth, fo
that there have been no lefs than four arrivals from
I.ilbon within thefe two days.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, the late Englith Agent at the
Pon Office at Liffion, is arrived in the Walfingham
packet ; and it is faid, that he took with him from
Lifhon a bag of letters, which have been brought in
that vella ; but the Walfingham was not allowed to
ente: the Tagus, and the has brought back the Mails
of the 27th and 29th ult. which fhe toil out. Be-
tide* Mr. CHASID SLAIN, there are fevered other paf-
fengers, who are arrived at Falmouth in the Wal.
fingham, viz. Mcffrs. You►c, Assort, Hay.ars,
Scurr.vertnix a, BUIALMOREi DOWNING, MILLS,
TIiSRY, Mrs. TERRY, and two children.
The latea date of the letters delivered from the
Pon Office yenerday, are of the Bth inn. (the Wal-
fingham packet failed on the 12th.) By there it
does not appear, that any French troops had then
paged the frontiers of Portugal. The Prince Regent,
Royal Family, and Court, remained in the fame
hate of conflernation as when our lall accounts came
away. A fleet continued to be ready to convey them
to the Brazils, and it was believed by many, that
the determined hostility avowed by NA PO LEGS, would
induce the Court of Lifoon actually to car: y that
projea into execution.
Don LOREN ZO DE LIMA, the late Portuguefe Am.
baffador at Paris, had arrived f'om thence at Lifhon.
Immediately on his return, an order was iffued to
prevent the depa' cure of the remainder of the Britilll
fubjea,, or the removal of any more property which
might belong to them. The Engliflt had aio been
directed to proceed to the offices of Police, where
piper perfons had been r, evieuily appointed to make
a regillry of their names, places of abode, and their
property. Such part of their property as confined
of at tidies of pi( ‘Th,,ns had been lequenered, and
carefully depotiteu in the Gm:et:anent t epots, tor the
pu►pofe (as was inppoled) of viduallit,g :lie fleets.
This act we.!filiiiwcd by another, which had mote
the appeara:,ce ci. y. A merchant (hip, called
the Diana, tp.und fur England, will) 8o paffetigers,
was fired upon, brought to, and detained, on her
attempting to get out of the 'Pawls.
This condoo Items to maiden a hope, on the part
of the Prince Regent, that he might yet fucceed in
pacifying the French Emperor, And prevent the ne
ceffity of emigrating with the Court. Time will thew
hoar vain is his hope.
Provifions of ever y kind were very fcarce, but vet.-
fels laden with cargoes of fifh, &c. &c. were forbid
to enter.

According to appearances the Pottuguefe, as we
hAve. hated alvive, were preparing for hoftilit;es
againa this country, at the time the PRINCESi
ELIZABETH failed. Tilde, however, were not the
only fyrnptoms of bonny. They were fortifying
their batteries in the Itrongeft manner they could :
thefe, with block4hips fiatiuned in the Tagus, and
an army of moo° men then affembled at Lifboa,
were avowedly to he employed again 4 us, thould we
attempt any thing in that quarter.
It is partible, however, that the conduit of the
PRINCE REGENT might have been dictated by confide-
rations of temporary prudence—no Britifh force being
there to yield protettion to the Cows in any meafure
which, under other circumtlances, it.might have been
difpofed to adopt. Should this be the cafe, the Prince
has probably, before this time, been put more in the
situation of a free agent. We :whole to ruentien the

&flirtation of Sir Stoxinr S tit fr II while there was the I
Icaß poffibility of its publicity proving injurious to
the public fervice. We can now !late, with forge
degree of certainty, that his deflination was the l'a•
gus, where he has probably arrived before this time.
Indeed, fome accounts flare, that intelligence has been
received of his ailual arrival there ; but this, we fear,
a millake, founded on ths arrival of the Ruffian
thin as we ye(erday Rated.

Lord STR ANGFORD and Mr. GAMBLER, the Britith
Conful, continued at Lifbon fo late as the 15th inft.
—They were, it is Paid, to have come home in the
RAVEN, but being driven from off Lifbonl Bar in
a gale, file bore away for Oporto, and from thence
failed for England.
In the preceding column we have given feveral
fhort extrafts from private letters received from Lifuon.
T !icy wear generally but one complexion.
