"With respect to the Portuguese troops
all win agree IN expressing their surprise at
the Improvement made IN their appearance,
between inc time we left their country and
our return to it. There are few bastalions
in this army, in point of outward show, SUI
perior to them, and they are daily improv-
ing. How far they can be brough mt to fight,
as they are naturally not over courageous,
remains to be seen. A battalion OF them is
added to two English ones in great num-
Der of our brigades.
sit has been thought by some wise peo-
pie that our difference ofreligion would be
the greatest bane to us here, and that we
should be every day more detested by this
bigotted people. Now it has turned out
quite the contrary. At first they were SAD
ly afraid of us, and used to run away from
US as from mad dogs, but latteriy they have
become quite reconciled, and look at the
ceremonies of our church, which by the
way arr not forced very intrusively upon
their notice, without curiosity and even sa-
tisfAction, at finding something like chris
tianity among the heathens. They are uni

met with in Spain, are grateful for the diff

Portuguese-in appearance wonderfully
superior; and if they had leader, equal
to any thing as soldiers. The very first

The brig Blaachy, capt. Cotton, which

American vessel at this place, was to have
departed for Baltimore about the middle OF

changed her destination, as she has been
chartered by the French vice consul, charge
d'affaires of France here, to carry him to
Marseiles, he having been ordered by the
Dey to quit the regency in "a hours, in
cons =quence of dispute between them re-
lative to a prize brought in by French prl-
vateer; aud as there was DO other vessel in
the por, ready to take him within so short a
period, col. Lear has consented to her 60
ing to France as cartel. This affair hap
pened the 3oth of March. The big sailed
with the consul on the first of Eprll, and
is to return here Immediately IN ballast,
and is now expected, and is to depart ior
the US. mme diately on her return.
$ The dey says this dispute is merely per-
sonal with his consul, and he has perinit-
ted several French vessels 70 depart since it
happened: But think it will be regarded
in different light in France.

The precarious state Of foreign commerce,
together with other considerations equally mpor
tant, renders it extremely desirable that proyisi-
on should be made for clothing The army of the
u S. from our own manufactures.
On the contracts for provisions made annually
by this department, and on other contracts re-
curing large capital, it has been customary to
make advances of money in order t, enable the
contractors to fulfil their engagements
An extension of this practice 70 supplies of
clothing, would enable the purveyor TO publish
proposals and make his contrscts in the same
manner as the provision contracts are made
From the encouragement which would thus
De gwen to the several manufactures, spirit Of
competition would be excited, improvements
would be made III the works and in the several
fabrics, and there can be 10 doubt that simple
supplies would be offered on terms equally ad.
vanta genus with those attending imported cloths,
while the necessity of having recourse to impor-
tations IN future, would be finally removed,
In order TO ensure success To this desirable OBJ.

f'r clothing should be made in the yea preceding
that IN which the clothing Is t. be Delivered.
