ments•have ,calved orders to proceed by forted
marches to the environs of Amberg ; and it is
added that their Conimander has received orders
to repel forte by force. It is obferved that in
the Upper Palatinate there are a great many Italian
fiefs.
Joey the news we received yefterday
from Augfburg and Triefte agree in Rating poll-
tively the news received by the way of Venice,
Naples and Leghorn, that Admiral GANTHEAUPIE
had landed ,at Derna, in the kingdom of Barca,
the eight thoufand men he had on board his fleet,
and that there troops immediately let off for Alex.
andria, from Which Derna is diftant only five days
journey.
We have received from Munich,•by letters of
the 6th July, the certain advice that five thou-
land Antbians, infantry and cavalry, had on the
loth ult. and a R of this month, entered the Upper
Palatinate, and that they liad attacked the Ba-
varian troops cantoned on the borders of Bohemia,
beaten them, and wounded their Commandant.
The fame day this unexpefted news Leached Mu-
nich, a 'Grand Council of State, at which the
ELECTOR prelided, was held; after which a corps
'of troops fufficiently ftrong to compel the Anflri-
ans to retreat was ordered to the Upper Palatinate,
a province belonging to the Et.acroa of Bavaria.
It is reported that this meafure arifes from certain
difficulties which exift between the courts of Vi-
enna and Munich relative to the fiefs which Auf-
ttia claims in the Upper Palatinate. The Aut.
trians have not yet paired Weydeu and Blitzfteirt.
The Et.acroa immediately fent couriers to Berlin
and Peterffinrgh, to demand the proteition of
Ruffia and Pruffia.

ANCoNA, jl.llll 22.—A very bloody fea fight
mull have taken place near Borletta. We yefter-
day heard a very heavy cannonade for eight hours,
and faw flames on the fkirts of the horizon, from
which we conclude that feveral (hips bad been
blown up. Of the details and the iffne of this en-
gagement we are ftill completely ignorant.
Fzozsaca, Jjuzy B.—Yefierday arrived here
two hundred Tufcan foldiers who ferved in the
Imperial army, but who return home by virtue of
the conditions of peace.

LEG Home, Jui. 2.--Several Eng Wit veffels
have appeared off Porto Ferrajo, which has re-
•ived the courage of the inhabitants. The place

that it will loon fusrmder.

Sire—lt is not yet fifty days !Ince I left your
Majefty to take the command of this army, def-
tined to compel Portugal to deliver herfeif from
the yoke of England, a power which, taking ad-
vantage of the harbours, and appropriating to it-
felf the riches of thii degraded Kingdom, waged
againfl us the molt difgraceful and ruinous war
by deftroying our commerce. Many years of war-
fare over every part of our dominions. an alarming
rife in the price of provifions, the infatiable ava-
rice of jobbers, bad barvefts, and other misfor-
tunes which it is unneceffary. to enumerate, had'
produced fuch an effect, that the, public treafure
was exhaufted, and credit undermined. The ne.
ceffary confequence was that the army was ill.
clothed, ill-fed, and ill-fupplied with ammunition
and accoutrements. But knowing their love and
veneration for thtir Sovereign, in their intrepidity
and their valour, I did notinefitate for a moment
to place implicit confidence in thefe charaifteri Ric
qualities of the Spanith foldier. As loon as I was
anted that the anfwers of the Portuguefe Mini-
fter tended to delay the fatisfadion we demanded,
refolved to treat no longer but fffint the mouth
of the cannon. Your Majefly's troops, by differ-
ent routes, penetrated into Alentejo, and by the
6th of June got poffeffion of all the fortified places
in that extenfive province. By their gallantry they
had taken Campo-Major, ftrongly garrifoned and
well,provided for a liege; they had routed the
enemy at Arrouches, and at Flora de Rota; they
had overrun the heft cultivated, richeil, and molt
populous part of the province; they had feized the
immenfe magazines which the enemy had formed:
they had.compelled their opponents to pals the
Tagus, not believing themfelves in fafety till this
great rivet fhould be between them and their pur.
fuers. The eleven ftandards I had the to
prefent to your Majefty by the officers who had
(hared in the glory of taking them, are a proof of
the triumph of your royal arms. Our enemies,
whom we rather call prejudiced fiends and rela-
tions, could hold out no longer, and on the fixth
of June I figned a Peace, re-ellablifhing a Rate of
things which your Majefty had fufpended with to
much regret. By the conditions of the Treaty the
' harbours of Portugal are Phut againi Englifh (hip.
ping of every defeription. The privateers of Eng.
land will thus no longer be able to interrupt our
commerce and to block up our ports, and the chief
caufe will be removed'which irritated the paternal
heart of your Majefty againft your natural friend
and ally. This advantage, though the principal,
is not the only one refulting from the Peace
great depots of contraband merchandife all along
the frontier of Portugal afforded an irrefiftible
temptation to the unprincipled to trangrefs the
Laws, and brought many to deftruelion. All thefe
have now been moved into the interior. The pro.
vine of Olivenza, one of the molt fertile in the
peoinfula, tosether with its formidable capital, be.
longs to your Majefty; thus Eftramadura is ren-
dered recurs, and Portugal is deprived of all means
of threatening us from behind.. To there advan.
tages it may -be added, that the effufion of the
blood of our Countrymen has been fpipied,tlt4t the
expence of the Expedition has 'men trifling, and
that we have never met with die [malign reverie I
I am far, Sire, from afcribing there events to my-
Paovint 'mai who knows the integrity of
heart and exemplary piety, of your Majefty, has
brought them about, making ufe, 9. means, of
the valour and felt-devotion of-yourtroops, worthy
in all refpeds of fuch a Sovereign. Neverthelefs
it is to me an extreme fatisfaftion, and a fingular
happinefs, to pretest to your Majefly the laurel
I and the olive which have crowned the malt dircQ.
