Conde of Eschusgo—Dublin on London t

This day arrived the Hamburgh mail due yell
terday. The accounts from the North are fuch
as might be expeded from the official documents,
which have already been made public. Every thing
wears a pacific appearance in that quarter, and
there Teems little doubt of our North Sea fleet be.
ing Coon at liberty to render new Cervices to it:
country, by meeting the French, &odd they peri,ft
in the attemptat invafion,whichtheynow meditate.
The Dana troops, it is believed, quitted Ham-
burgh on the ad of May, and the navigation of
the Elbe is now open, as was notified Tome days
ago by authority.
The letters from Conaantinople do not bring
the accounts refpeding Egypt down later than tita
t4th of March. We have, however, laid them
before our readers, to thew what was confidered
at Conftantineple as the Rate of fads at that tim:.
The French Journals, of which we this morn-
ing received complete Lets to the 4.th intl. inclufive,
give news from rgypt of a later date, but nct of.
ficial. If there be any truth in them at all, our
troops were not mafters of Alexandria fo late as
the t7th of April. We do not however think the
news entitled to much credit.

The Journalifts in Paris believe that Mr. AD-
DINGTON is in pofkffion of advices from Egypt,
ftating the defeat of our Army—exaaly as people
here were furmifing a few days ago refpeaing the
FIRST CONSUL ; that he knew well enough of the
vi Cory gained by General Alt RCROMBIL on the
sift of March, but had proud any notice of it
in the Journals ! !
Private letters received by the Lifbon Mail of
yefterday Rate that the Portnguefe Government is
much embarraffed by the threats of the Cabinets
of the Thuilleries and of Madrid. The Spaniards
having now yielded to the demands of France re.
fpeaing the paffage of an army, Portugal muft
either fubmit to the alternative of being over-ran
by a French and Spanifh force, or comply with the
terms offered by the enemy. Thole terms are ex-
travagant, and are chiefly direaed againft the in.
terefts of this country.
A letter, dated Lifbon, Apnl 8, from a perfon
in an official fitnation under the Portuguefe Go-
vernment, to his friend in London, Rates, "The
conditions upon which Portugal will be allowed
to purchafe the forbearance of France from the
meditated invafion, are laid to be, that Portugal
mall flint its ports againit England, fequeftrate
Britifh property, and cede to Spain fume part cf
the Brazils. As we have no force adequate to re-
fift an invading army, it is thought that the pre-
tenfions of France mull be granted. The Enid!'
Merchants therefore will Ihortly quit Portugal.
a It is reported, however, that the Trench will
keep up a body of troops in Spain, for the purpcfe
of watching the execution of the Treaty, and :f
Englifh (hips than receive any affiftance in our
ports, garnfous will be marched into our towns,
and a cordon drawn along the coaft.
" Count is fiiortly erpeaed from
London, with pacific afurances from the Cabinet
of Sr. James's, as England had the option of fend-
ing an army for our defence, or permitting ns to
make the bet terms which circumftances would

permit."

Whether the terms above Elated will be mod:-
rated on difeuEon, we cannot pretend to fay. They
amount to hofhlky on the part of Portugal again it
as, but a hollility, as it is involuntary, one which
we cannot relent upon the rr.ere inarnment, redo.
eed to the alternative by fidelity to this country.
In the prefent fituation of affairs, however, it 4
probable that the French Government will be in.
dined to exact from Portugal conditions the moa
bottle to the intereas of Great Britain. Portugal
is the only place through which they have at pre-
fcnt the means of doing us any important injury.
Some articles in the French Journals wear a 11-
milar complexion to the aboverefpeeting Portugal,
but they feem to doubt their truth. .
Another mail from Lilbon arrived this morning,
but none of the letters which we have yet fern,
throw any farther light upon this point.
