Reports rays, 44 The Duke of PORTLAND refuted
to reign, unlefs the falary of the Prefident of the
Council, the Office to which he has been appoint-
ed, fhould be railed from aBOOl, to 60001." For
our parts we think the report mull be falfe. We
cannot believe that any part of the condua of fo
exalted a charaaer, can be influenced by interefied
motives! This would be paying himfelf amply
for the extra price he has paid for loaves. in con-
fequence of the alarming millake he fell into about
a year ago, when we were informed, that before
the prefent period fhould arrive, even with all the
aids that importation could afford, we fhould not
be able to procure a loaf to eat for any money,. I
If, however, it &mid turn out that his Grace
;dually higgled for the increafed falary, we
fhall Rill hope that felf-intereft was the fartheft
thought from his mind, and that the furplus
will be • employed in endeavouring to allevi-
ate tome of the diftreffes of his fellow-creatures,
occafioned by alarming falfehoods about fcarcity,
with which our ears have for many months been
Runned ; while with our eyes we have teen the
Bore-houtes of every defeription fo full, that there
is not a fufficiency of room to allow imported grain
-to be landed

Captain Nags, of bis Majefty's Hoop Fat-
eon, arrived at the Adnitalty this morning, with
&patches from the Mediterranean. They are re-
ported to be of a favourable nature, but their con-
• tents have not tranfpired.
We yeaerday Bated the return of Admiral NI 1.-
sow to the Downs. His Lordfhip had been to
Flailing, but thund the enemy in fuch a Date of
preparation that it was not thought advifable to
venture an attack with the force he hall with him.
By the attempts already made upon the arma-
ment in the French harbours, and the impedi-
ments attending other expeditions, it will appear
how difficult it is to make an impre&on upon the
*Rs of the enemy.; and the French people will
doubtlefs be convinced, that °hie& which. cannot
be achieved with all our maritime fuperiority, are
utterly defperate and irnpoffible when oppofed by it.
The fudden and extraordinarily rife of the French

funds, announced in the laft Paris papers, is Rated

by private letters to have been in confequence,of
• a declaration made by the Fissr Comsur., that
the money to be received from Portugal, as the
price of Peace, would be employed in paying
arrears of dividends.
This morning we received Paris Journals of the
asth and 26th init. by which we learn that Admi-
ral Waimea has taken a French frigate and three
of her convoy. The following are camas from
the Papers received :
Palls, Auourrias.—The Emperor ALixla.

Dill I. has been highly fatisfied with the miffion of
General firma moroirsx at Paris, and, as a proof
• of it, has given him the grand order of St. Alex-
ander Newiky ; by way of particular favour he re-
ceived alfo the decoration of it fet with diamonds;
all the officers who accompanied him have been
promoted to advantageous places, the greater part
•of them at Court.

Prince DoLowtowar let out For Paris on the Bth
of Anglin, on a fpecial miffion. M. MaaKOW, the
new Ambafrador to Paris, let out on the 29th of
July : his arrival is loon expeeed.
Prince CONSTANTINII, Colonel of a beautiful
regiment of Cuirafliers, has done Chef de Brigade
D nine the particular honour of caufing his regi•
meat to manceuvre before him. The efteem which
this young and excellent Prince entertains for the
French nation and army is returned by the French
troops: every foldicr remembers the humanity and
kindr.els which he alwtys manifefied towards the
wounded and the prifoners. This is the diftin-
guitbing Icatiire in the charairter of great minds—
brave and terrible in combat, they are mild and
humane in vietory.—iffenirevr.

A Ligurian veal, fitted out both for trade and
as a privateer, had an engagement on the 28th of
July, of fix hcar, with a privateer from Mahon,
in the neighbourhood of Civita-Vecchia, and forced
her to retreat, after killing feveral of her men, and
doing confiderable damage to her rigging. •
Two Englifls.Rags of trace, the Hope and the
Two Friends, Captains Psalms and Pa,oa, land-
ed A Cherbourg, on the 18th inft. 209 prifoners,
ill attacked by difeafes confidered as incurable,one
of theli unfortunate men died on the patfage ; they
were asmoft all people of colour.

A letter from Brea, dated AugntL 19, Pays—l
the night between the 15th and 16th, feveral
Englilh boats and fome frigates, Rationed from
the Ilk of Bus to the Portfal Rocks, attempted to
land in the creek of Goulvin, probably. with a view
of carrying off flune cattle, but the batteries of
Qernic and Porttdval,feconded by the inhabitants
of the coaft, were able to prevent their defign. On
the tuft alarm of this attack,more than rsoo troops
marched from Breit and the camp of St. Renan,
and at feven in the morning had advanced more
than half way, when the Commandant of the dif-
tria fent to inform them that the enemy had been
repulfed, and that it was not neceffary for them
to continue their march."

A letter from Munger, dated Auguft 17, Rates,
that as loon as the death of the EleCtor of Cologne
was announced, the Chapter proceeded to the elec-
tion of a Prince Bifhop. The meeting was held
with an appearance of fecrecy, yet it is believed
that Prince ANTHONY, the Emperor's brother,
has been unanimously eleEted. A Courier was im-
mediately difpatched to Vienna to announce this
intelligence to that Court.
AUGUST z6.—Letters from Portugal received
yeflerday, announce that peace has been concluded
between France and Portugal ; that it was retard-
ed on account of the convoy expedted from the In-
dies which has at length arrived, and that the Eng-
lifh feem to have flopped Tome American Seals.
BOULOGNE, AUGUST 31.—The enemy have at,
prefent off this place only two fhips of 64 guns,
and five or fix fmall veffels, feveral of which lag
night effeCted a landing at Cucq, fix leagues dif-
tant from this place, where they burnt about boo
tons of pitch and tar belonging to private indiv i•
duals. 'Thefe articles formed part of the cargo of
an American ship wrecked on the coaft, and had
been fold two days before. There were then only
a few labourers in the neighbourhood, who fled
on the approach of the enemy, and on a few bombs
being thrown. This day a detachment of troops
has been fent thither. In regard to the means taken
to give the enemy a good reception in cafe they
again appear in this neighbourhood, they are
great, and dire bed in fuch a manner as will make
them repent of their rafhnefs, if they should be fo
imprudent as to attack us.
NAPLES, Atzottrr t.—We learn from Otranto
that an Eaglifh privateer, of 18 guns, has entered
that port, where she. has been delivered up to the
French by the crew, in consequence of tome dif-
pute which they had with the Captain refpeeing
the aivifion of prise-money. The tailors had put
the Captain under an• arreft.
Gattoa, Avc. 17.—According to letters from
Tufcany, the KING of SARDINIA finding the party
of thole who with for a reform in the Governinent,
and for political changes, daily increases, in order
to extirpate that party, has refolved to reftore the
Jefuits as very proper to keep the people in tub-
jeCtion. ,For this purpofe, tome feudatories and
canons of Cagliari, calling themfelves reprefenta-
tires of the Sardinian Nation, have requefted from
the Pors the re-eftablifhment of the • Jefuits.
Pais VII. kindly contented, and by a bull has au-
thorifed the Jefuits now in Sardinia to unite them-
felves into a- society as before, and to eftablifh
themfelvesin the Colleges of•Cagliari and Saffari.
Thus, while the KING of S►AIM is expelling from
his territories there ambitious Monks, attempts are
made to renore them in other places.,
HAGUE, AUGUST iB.—A great number of
heavy artillery, from the Arfenal of Delft, paffed
through this place for different parts of the coall
molt threatened by the enemy..
Rorr stoats, A tiousr 19.—The gun-boats and
other armed 'rads deftined to defend the mouth
of the Meufe, and particularly the ifle of Goree
and the harbork of Helvoetflnys, are now sta-
tioned in thole Plcces molt favourable for repulf-
ing the enemy in cafe of attack. French and
Batavian troops are continually arriving at that
part of the coafts of Holland, where they will oc-
cupy feveral fmall camps, which are already traced
out. The fquadron of Admiral GRAVES confifts
of from fifteen to twenty (hips of war of all floes,
and according to the latell intelligence, is to re-
ceive reinforcements. On the other hand Admi-
ral de WiNrsa, Commander in Chief of the Dutch
fleet, has been informed that numerous armaments
are preparing at Margate, Harwich, and Yar-
mouth, which teems to announce that they are
deftined for tome of the ports of the Batavian re-
public. The fame meafures of precaution, how.
ever, bare been adopted at the mouths of the Zuy-
der-Zee,as well as.as at the entrance of the Texel.
