FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

LISBON, JAN. 4.

The Court of Madrid Teems determined, in
concert with France, to tile every means of per-
cualion, exhortation, and force, to detach Por-
tugal from its ancient ally. We expea here
foon an Arab:4l4(lor extraordinary from Madrid.
The palfports, demanded for him by the Court
of Spain, have been already granted.
JAN. 21.-By the death of Count LIMA, the
Prime Mininer of our Court, England has loft a
decided friend, exceedingly zealous for its inte-
rcils. The new Milliner does not entertain the
fame difpornions. It may readily be Torefeen that
Portugal will detach itfelf from England, if the
Court if Madrid, in concert with France, is de-
termined to employ force.

This was certainly, as Mr. PITT acknowledged,
under all the aukward circumfiances of the Coun-
try, a Nerd price. Before the terms of the Loan
reached the City, the Stocks had falltn, fo that
the -price ought in truth to be ellimated, taking
the Confols at 56, and the Reduced at 561. In

On the firff burg of the bargain, the Omnium
was fold at 3 per cent. premium : but it declined
to 11, and left off at a, notwithßanding a thou-
fand rumours of good news from Ruffia, Denmark,
and Sweden, and that the new Miniary wcre re-
folved to begin their career with a negociation.
The following are the offers :nude by the diffe-
rent parties :

Upon which the two latter Parties being equal
in their air, were declared the Contra/tors, and
they figned a memorandum accordingly.

Advices have been received from Liffion, of fo
late a date as the 6th inft. which is three days
poftcrior to the letters brought by the Mail Of
yeUerday. Thcfe Difpatches were brought to
Falmouth by the MILBROOK fchooner of 18 guns,
which was difpatched three days after the
failing of the Packet, to give information to our
Government of the French Squadron under Ad-
miral GATITHEALIME, having paired the Tagus on
the sth inft. bearing to the Southward. An Offi-
cer from on board this fquadron had been landed
at Lifbon ; and it was reported there, that the
French had been reinforced by three Spaniffi
men of war from Ferrol. The enemy's had
almoft all loft their top-malls. There fcarcely
exifts a doubt but that their deflination is for
Egypt.

The PHOENIX cutter, which had dogged the
French Squadron, Lad been fent to acquaint Sir
J. BORLASC WARREN, off Cadiz, of its being at fea.
This day we received Paris Journals to the i ath
infi. inclufivc. They contain nothing sfria/ re-
fpeeling the terms of the peace concluded with
Aufiria, but a number of rumours on the fubjea ;
as that Trance is to keep the left banks of the
Rhine, Belgium, and polfelTion of Egypt ; Aufria
to have the Bifhopt ics of Saltzbourg and Palau,
with Venice, and part of Bavaria ; the Porte to
have the Ex-Venetian Iflands ; PAUL to continue
Grand•Maßer, and to be put in peon if Maki,/
13; uffia to have Hanover ; and Poland to be re-
ellablilhed asst Kingdom, and given to the Arch-
duke JosePH.

The Captain of the Flag of Truce, which
brought over the papers, reports, that great re-
joicings had takcn place at Calais, en account of
the Peace concluded with Auftria. 'Whether the
event was announced there by the Telegraph, or
otherwife, our letters from Dover do not men-
tion.

Ou: late magnanimous ally, PAUL, is fending

an Embarty to Paris, furkilhed with extenfire
powers to accede to any thing that may tend to
humble Britain.

The other articles in thefe papers not require
particular notice.

An intereiling debate took place in the lionfe
of Commons hit night, from which our Readers
will be able to draw new light with regard to the
caufes, and perhaps confequcnces of the late
changes in adminittratioo. We have not room at
prefent to make any remarks on it, but it will ,nu
doubt be perufed with much attention.

On Saturday failed from Falmo:ith the l`•lAa,r
Packet, Capt. THOMSON, for America,
mails for New-York, of the firft Wedneiday
the prefent month. _ _

Ymetlerday Mr. SHARP, brother to Mr. STFPREN
SHARP, hisMajedy's Cole Conful at St. P.:tertSurdh,
arrived in town from Rutlia, and, a-. is belies'.
with Difpatches for Government. He was I.d,qy
appointed by the KING luperintencleht of pr
ners there; and whether he has been diipatchld
home by the capricious Emperor on ace( ant cf!ii
being intruded with this commitlion, and there.
fore an objed of jealoufy to his Imperial Majelt7,
or that he is the bearer of forre favourable propo.
fitions, we know not. The private letters throw
no light on the matter ; but they fay that a elhrige
has taken place in the Councils of the Emperor.
M. MARKOFF, who was Deputy Vice-Chancellor
of the Empire, under M. Woßoszow, has been
recalled from exile, and appointed Vicc-Cha::cd-
lor, a circumilance which would be interpreted
favourably for England; but that Madame Hens,
the beautiful French aelrefs, is his favourit,.

The private letters from Haniburghll;e, that
the Courts of Sweden and Denmark have taken no
Reps to impede the Commerce of the Englifh in
their ports. No embargo is laid on our veffels ;
but in thePruffian ports, the Swedes and Danes had
fold their !hips, fearing, that if his Prufrian Ma-
jefty fhould be brought into our views, the vet
fels of thefe Countries Might be Ropt there, as well
as in the ports of Great Britain.
On the loth inflant, the Prince Royal of Den-
mark palled through Hamburgh, on his way to
Berlin, with a view, as it is believed, of endeavour-
ing to procure the mediation of his Pruflian Ma-
jefty between them and the two Powers who equal-
ly threaten their independence, and trample on
their weak condition. The Prince's journey is a
proof at leaft that the Court of Berlin has not taken
a dccifive part in the conteft.
Laft night the New York Papers to the toth
January inclufive, arrived in town. There are
no communications in them upon the fubjeCt of
the eleftion of Meffis. JurEsson and BURR.
They contain fome important information upon
the Convention between France and the United
States. A letter from Walhington, dated the
3oth December, in the New York Riper of the gth
January fays-4, that the Convention with France
remains undecided in the Senate, and that ferious
°Nations have arifen to its unconditional ratifi-
cation. Several days, and perhaps weeks, will
elapfe before the ultimate decifion of the Seintte
will be promulgated." The New-York Paper of
the foal, extraCts the following paragraph front
the Bolton Ccntincl : ‘, By Thurfday's Mail, we
learn that the Senate of the United States has re-
jeeted the Treaty with France, as injurious to the-
American interefts and honour." Upon this para-
graph we are inclined not to place muck reliance.
It is certain, however, that obtiacles have been
thrown in the way of the ratification of the Treaty
JOHN Jay, Efq. has been appointed Chief
Juftice, in the room of OLIVER Lecswosm, Efq.
who has religned ; and SAMUEL DEXTER, Secre-
tary of the Treafary, in the room of Ouv ER Woe-
cor, Efq. refigned. Other changes have alto
taken place.
DUEL —On Saturday a meeting took place be-
tween Lieutenant MINSTER, of the Marines, be-
longing to his Majefty's fhip MONARCH, and Lieu-
tenant CHRISTIAN LAscHEN, of the LATONA fri-
gate, at Q2eenborough, near Sheernefs, when the
former was fhot dead through the head ; and the
latter through the body, with very little hopes of
his recovery. The Marine Officer lies dead at an
inn in Queenborough for the Coroner's Inqueft,
and the Lieutenant of the Navy is fent on board
the SPANKER hofpital fhip, at Sheernefs. They
were attended in this unfortunate bufinefs by a
Marine Officer and a Surgeon's Mate, as feconds,
both of whom have abfconded. The partiesfought
at twelve paces diftance, and fired at the fame in-
Rant. Both fell the firs Riot. _ _ .

The caufe of this unfortunate affair originated
a few months fence, when they both belonged to
the LATONA frigate, at Elfineur. Some words
paired between them when playing at cards, which
occafioned a blow; but Captain SOTHERON, of
that (hip, by his well timed authority prevented
the matter going farther, and made them promife
while in his (hip they would be quiet, and threaten-
ed to bring them both to a Court Martial if they
did not keep the peace. Since the arrival of the
LATONA at the Nore, the Marine Officer effeaed a
change with an Officer in the MONARCH, which
was no fooner done than he received and accepted
the Navy Lieutenant's challenge, which was at-
tended with the confevences already flared.
