LISBON MAIL.

The Auckland packet has arrived at Falmouth in
17 days, by which we have received the following
letter :

it OF? LISBON, DEC. 3.
“ A fcw days ago, five of the convoy from New.
foundland, which had failed under the JAMAICA, ar-
rived at this place. They report that they were fe-
parated five days after they left Newfoundland in a
gale of wind, and did not fall in together again.—
The JAMAICA, it is fuppored, is gone for the Mediter-
ranean. The French frigate la Topaze is fill here
refitting, but talks of failing very fuon. When the
does, the will, in all probability, be conveyed to nn
EnglA port, as feveral of our frigates are upon the
look gat for her. A few days ago fhe made a grand

difplay of a Sam atlion ; and, in the of the
imoke, let her yards and top mails come down, as if
they were (hoc away ; it certainly had a very good
effeet, and the was left in the Came fituation in which,
I have no doubt, the will be, the firlt time a Bridal
cruizer falls in with her. The row boats are very
thick upon the coal} between this arid Vigo, but have
not dome much miichiet lately.

" The Captain of la Topaze, the other day, (aid
in a public company that no one Englifh frigate than
prevent his failing as Coon as he is ready. The Po•
MONA ts appointed to this llation, narrowly watches
his motions, and will fail immediately after the To-
paze. The Frenchman knows that, but Pays he will
carry the POMONA into a French port.—We expelt a
very different refult, should there (nips fall in with
each other."

On Saturday evening the Patriotic Fund amount
