FROM PORTUGAL.

Captain Paine, who arrived ON Saturday
from Lisbon, left that city on the'9th of May.
The French had not entered the Portuguese
Territory; and the inhabitants were in ex
cellent spirits, and sariguine in their expec
tations of not giving the grand king maker
the trouble OF appointing them MASTER
1 he Negency has adopted the best measures
tor organizing the whole population, as far
as practicable, in military bodies, fer the
detence OF their own country; and the PEG
pie cheersuliy CONFIRMED to the measures
adopted. The naive troops had become
very respectable for their numbers, appear
ance and discipline. In May, 900 British
troops marched from Lisbon to the frontiers
----many remained IN the city--and the
harbor was full of men OF war. Provisions
were scarce and high. and the markets APP.
peared to be still rising. An embargo had
been lad on Portuguese vessels, in conse -
quence of five AIgerine cruIzers coming out
of the Strairs. AT Cadiz, affairs remained
as atthe previous dates Markets for pro .
visions are also good there.

From The .pi,a f'7s.


There are three ways Of coming att
Firss, by contracting our expencss-Se.
eondly, by allowing a free commerce
Thirdly, by becoming stockholders. The
last is the poison Of the fair aud honest, and
the instrument of foul and knavish republic
ccanism. Such was Mr.. Jefferson's most
settled creed. If the two FIRST are reject
ed, the third is the last misersble refuge.
A refuge from true friends to an inveterate
enemy. To the same enemy MI. Adams
fed for help by his eight per centum loan
and expedited his ruin. VIII Mr.. Madi-
son who is regarded by his devotees, as the
cool, discerning, upright statesman be
goaded into this tract, by an unwary svel-
sight Had Mr.. Adams discovered his er.
rors and retraced his steps, the candour,
patriotism and integrity of self.condem-
nation, would have poured into his graua.
ry the harvest of popularity, which Mr..
Jefferson reaped. Mr.. Jefferson dimished
our taxes, and yet caused our treasury to
overflow by contracting our expences. 1t
is admitted that the present military ex-
pences are as great as Mr.. Adams's, and
that they press no harder upon England,
than his did upon France. But there is an
argument in their favor which we shall
make the subject of the next number.

that having lost all hopes OF having chill,

love of the French people.
IL must acknowledge these sentiments
in conserving to the dissolution OF a marr'-
aee which is henceforth an obstacle to the
welfare of France, which deprives her OF
the happiness of being one day governed by

The emperor will always have in me his

commanded by policy and so great inter-
ests, has rent asundcr his heart; but We
mutually glory in the sacrifice we make to
the good of the country.
Upon which their imperia! and royal ma

their respective declarations even as OF the

that their maiestiss give the effect Of their

as also of the power which their majesties
have conferred upon US, to pursue through

the following is the tenor:
His majesty the emperor and king con.
descended to address US in the following
words
My eoasin the prince arch.chancellor,
have forwarded you letter dated this
day, to order you to my chamber, in or.
der TO make known the resolution that I

ken. Irejoice that the kings, queens and
princesses, my brothers and sisters, my
bro,hers-in law and sisters.in.la nv step
daughter and step son by adoption, as we'll
as my mother, are present at what have
to make known to you.
"The policy Of the monarchy, the in.
terest and want of my people, which have
constantly guided all my actions will that I
leave my children, inhe ritors of nv love
for my people, the throne On which provi-
dsncs has seated me. For several years
have lost all hope of having children by
my marriage with my we'll beloved wife
the empress Josephine it is this which
has led me to sacrifice the sweetest affec.
lions of of my heart, to hearken to nothing
but the welfare Of the state and to a disco
luton of our marriage.
Arrived at the age of forty years, I
hope to live long enoug Oh to raise up in nv
spirit and character the children which it
may please providence to give me. God
knows how much this resolution has cost
my heart but there is no sacrifice which
is above my courage, when it is demon
strated to be useful to the welfare of France.

bent to praise the attachment and affection
of my we'll beloved vile she has embel-

brance of it will ever b: engraven in my
heart. She was crowned with my hands
I wish her to retain the rank and title of
empress but above all, that she will never
doubt my sentiments, and that she holds
me always her best and dearest friend"
