The terms of the treaty ofpeace between
Portugal and France and Spain have not
tranfplred. The rumours at Liibon are.
that the Notifications of E!vas ard Alme-
IDA, are. to be erafed, in order to render
Portugal, perpetually dependent upon
Spain-that the alliance with England is
TO be abandoned all the Portueuefe
ports are to be garrifoned by French and
SPsTlifh ps---thar 80 millions of liyres
are to be paid to France land the free ma
vigation of the Aamazon ard the Brazil
to be permitted.
Other accounts from Iiibon Fate, that
all Englifh veRels are to be excluded from
the ports of Portugal; that week is to-
be allowed. to the Britifh merchants to-
embark their effects; that Portugal is to-.
pay eight hundred thouland pounds for
the expences of the campaign; thar ihe
ihall have liberty to export merchandise
to England, but that all Engliih manufac-
lures ihall be prohibited. 1t is even ru-.
incurred, that the province of Alenteio
is TO be coded to Spain, and Goa to
France.

ter our conquea of Egypt, the French.
were TO make a new attempt to triumph
over us in that field where 70 much glory
has been gained, and 70 much blood defpe-

Is it not to be fairly inferred, from the
menaces of the preparations in the north

Buonaparte is inGncere in his oyertures
towards negotiation. No man in his
