The intelligence which we announced yeflerday
of the French Ambaffador at Lam having de.
parted from that Court without taking leave,
caufed a very confiderable fenfation among the
monied men in the City, and its influence was
felt at the Stock Exchange. On this fobjell the
following article appeared in the Official Gazette
of Lillson, on the 14th

L;tbon, Auguft 14.

General LASSIES, Envoy Extraordinary and Minifter Pie&
potentiary of the French Republic, left this Court in the mor-
ning of the loth inftant, a meafure which he took from his own
proper will, and which Is the more unexpetied, as conitant and
repeated civilities and attentions have been paid to him by
this Court, in dn'nonftration of the fincere friendihip, perfed
harmony, and good underftanding fubfifting between this Mo-
narchy and the French Republic—as there does not exift any
actual objed of difeuffion between the two Governments which
can alter, in the flighteft degree, the happy relations of this
country with France, relations which this Court defires taco.
cioully to promote, and even to render more intimate.

A PRIVATE LETTER FROM LISBON STE,TES,
a It is laid that the deputure of General LASNRS Is groats!.

tacitly conceded on the concitsfioo of Peace, with the view, at
appears, of eluding them; which is proved by the fad, ince

morning. His wife was to fet off this day by the packet foi

LAINCS madea free eulogium on the P*nece REoENT WM.
PINTO DR VALSIMONT, Rating that the Prince was good for
nothing but (u very coarfe exprellion), and that his
Minthers knew it well, Owe every one of them was a defpot
that reigned for the foie purpofe of enriching himfelf and eon-
mining iniquities for which there was nobinly to call theot
account. This violent tirade thews the charadter of the Gene.
ral, who is a brave foidier, but no ftatefman. This tirade Ma
he actually pronounced with a loud voice, at the very time
when M. PINTO waited upon him to beg him to be quiet Lie
fume days; and when it was Rated to, him that hopes were en.
tertained of prevailing on the PRINCE REGeNT to agree totes
demand, An hour after, however, his palrporta were feat
him."

We have to add another report,that the ground
of difatisfadion conceived by General LASNES
was, the Revenue Officers having infified on exa-
mining tome baggage coming to the Ambaffador,
or under his proteaion and Lifeguard. He applied
for Luisfaaion, and inflfted on the difmiffal of tl,e
Prime Minifier, which being refuted he withdrew,
as we have Rated.

It is pot eafy with fo little information to align
to this tranfaaion its real charater, or to deduct
from it any lull inferences. The Portuguefe Go,
vcrnment aliens, that at the moment there "exile
no obje& of difctiflion which could affe& the good
undernanding," &c. This is ambiguous. Is it
meant that there was no ground of difctdon ati
all, or none which could diflnrb the good un•
derfianding between the two governments, becaufe
they were ready to give up Every thing demanded?
What is the nature of the demands ? The private
letter above quoted alludes to ("tat fatafatlioru.—
Does this allude to any fums of money privately
Dipulated, and which the Portuguefe Government
refutes or delays to make good. It feems, how-
ever, that nothing at:Nally demanded is refuted ;
and in the prefent Rate of things it is not eafy to
fee how the Portnguefe Government would give
any offence to the French Government, refufe any
kill claim, or procraflinate any ilipulated advan-
tage. At any rate it is not eafy to conceive how
they could refute any thing in to peremptory a way
as to induce the French Ambaffador to withdraw
in fo precipitate a manner.
Either this meafure is to be afcribed to the im.
petoofity and indifcretion of Lashes, or it is a
ground of quarrel purpofely fought by his Govern.
ment. Lams, it is well known, is a man of a
head-firong difpofition, of an uncultivated mind,
totally unfit for Courts or for Civil tranfaSions.
His fquabbles with the F►asr Coast;t. lafi winter
are well known ; and then, it is generally report-
ed, he difplayed an intemperance iocnnfittent
with what was due not merely to a fuperior, but to
an equal.—His embaffy, indeed, was conlidered
as a baniihment. He therefore may have been
violent and rafh likewife on this occafton ; for the
Portuguefe note fi aces in effett that whatever might
have been in dircuffion would not diaurb the good
underfianding of the two Governments ; that is—
every thing would be conceded. If this be the dif-
pofition of Portugal, the French Government
muff be overbearing and extravagant indeed, if
the quarrel be not amicably fettled I

Indeed we cannot fee what objed France could
gain by forcing a war with Portugal at prefent,
which might, nay, muft, be intended to force a
war with this country. Is it intended, however,
to extort from Portugal any commercial advan-
tages—any pecuniary contributions—any facrifices
at home or abroad? It is poffible that this may be
the objea. Unica, however, France be predeter-
mined to quarrel, (which in any general view ap-
pears not to be her policy), it appears that the
matter in difpute may with a moderate !hare of
prudence be adjufted.
