LATEST FROM LISBON.

Yesterday arrived here the schooner
Hahhy COuhis Captain Jc6cry, from Lisbon,
which she left the 18th Of December. By
this vessel we have received Lisbon pa
pers to the 18th of December. Their con-
tents are without mu; n interest. Nothing
new from the grand armies, who occupied
the same positions nearly, that they had
for some months past.
BY accounts received at Lisbon on the
18th December, it is stated, that Suthef
had retired from Saguntun, taking with
him the heavy artillery. The celebrated
partizan Nina had made $500 prisoners
in Daroca. The active and enterprising
Baiiasteros had advanced three times near
TO Seville, but 5000 men being sent from
that place against him. lie was obliged to
retire on the 30th of November to the VII
cinity OF Gibraltar. SonH was at Seville,
and inactive.
Adyices from Cadiz announced that
British squadron, cruising off the coast of
Catalonia, had captured French convoy
of % sail, bound from Toulon to Barcclona.
On the Sd of December, detachment Of
1000 men sailed from Cadiz to reinforce
General Ballasteros.

The rest of the Presidents Speech con-
si>ts it, urging the necessity Of putting tho
country III X corresponding ara0ar and at
titudc, OF increasing the work OF defence, X
the military nlea..s o. the State. The vas;
navy of the United States has received
the important addition of a fi.igatc to guard
the coast. Now the very circumstance of
tie COASTS and harbors of Power which
has 40 contemplate naval force being un-
molestcd by us. is proof that we have
used our naval superiority with exemplary
moderation and fprbearance.
1t has been remarked that tho present
Speech resemblesi- many pa.ts, the Speech
of last year, x that the politics .i America
are remarkably stationary. Every man
must bear witness to the truth OF this re-
mark. America huctuates- between her
mclinations and her apprehensions. She
seems always to stand trembling and hest
tatiEg Oh the slippery verge of war and
to be necessarily tossed about at the mer-
Icy of every event; a condition which, of
all others, most directly tends to palsy the
spirit and to destroy the confidence of a
Nation. Of NIL the evils which can befal
q people, the first is government without
any fixed principles or plan. No descrip-
ton of rulers can be as pernicious as that
tribe OF vulgar politicians. whose measures
are governed Or dictated by accident, whose
schemes are perpetually fuctuating and
who live from day to day, and from hour to
hour, agitatel by every blast of wind, and
borne away by every current.

LATEST FROM FRANCE.

The sch. Yalona, Cook, Al days from Boz
deaax, arrived at Annapolis, with. Brandy
& Dry Goods, to Isaac kim. Left the ri
yer the 22d. December.
BY this arrival, newspapers and letters to
the Goth Dec. have been received, for the
use of which the Editor of the Federal Ga
zette is indebted to the politeness Of several
| mercantile friends.
The French Editors published our Presi-
dents Message at full length, without COM
ment.
The arrival of such Minister as Joel Bar
low continued to afford pleasure in France
but we arc unable to discover that any thing
had been effected, or even limited at, in the
way of negotiation with him, since his fiat
tering reception.
No army news ofir portance. The French
claim some advantage from partial engage
ments, in the East of Spain, under Suchet,
subsequent to the fall of Sagunta. The Prus-
| sian army is reduced to the peace estab-
lishment. There continued suspension of
hostilities between the Turks and Russians;
but the latter demanded terms which the
Turks would not concetle, and active hosti-
lities were expected to recommence. Some
| failures IN Vienna are spoken of By the
French Journals as resulting from hazardous
speculations--but what in, they do not men
ton.
capt Cook, has dispatches.
Markets good. Flour (at SIS to so francs)
q Rice in demand. Public opinion, as far
as could be ascertained in France, favorable
to America.
The decree admitting the Valona (and
others) was obtained on the 28th November
Extract from letter, dated Bordeaux,
November 80.
Since our last adviCes there has been no
change affecting our commercial relations,
nor any material alteration in the market.
Notwithstanding the large quantities of SUI
gar and Coffee sold by government within
the last two months, these articles continue
in demand, and will no doubt command high
prices, as long as the present system is MAIN
tanned, and they import under imperial Ii
cences only. This government appears de-
sirous of encouraging the importation of Rice
and Flour, harvest being short in several
parts Of France. New Rice 60 fir. per 1OOlb
free of duty, which is reduced to S soils per
quintal. Flour worth 60 francs per barrel.
Hides, Potash and dried Goldfish meet rea-
dy sales. Fine Cottons daily becoming
more scarce and much demanded--inferior
qualities unsaleable, government had sold
large quantities at low prices.
