"You will oe informed of the effect pro-
duced on the inhabitants Of this populous
capital by the arrival of the shattered ex-
petition ofthe Azores. A very serious tu-
mutt was beginning at Belem,and elements
for very important movements are gather
ing around those that are the advisers oil
so many unjust and impoltic measures.
No doubt is now entertained about the eX-
stencs of a treaty between this Govern
ment and Spain. The stlpulatlons are OF
most secret nature, because they are IN
collision with the treaties between Great
Britain and Portugal. 4 commissioner
was sent, or to be sent TO London, in or
der TO amuse the British Cabinet with ap-
pearances Of reliance on the continuation
of British support, while the Spanish Min
ister is directed to give every explanation,
in order to delude the Ministry of Great
Britain. Spain is authorised by the treaty
10 enter Portugal, and the frontier towns
are to be delivered into the hands ofSpsn-
sh authorities, whenever an insurrection
may take place in Lisbon. This was con.
sidcred the only resource TO support the
usurpaton ;and the failure Of the expedi-
ton to Tcrceira,p planned by an old civilian
Conde Bastos, and commanded by fan
farron admiral,w where the flower Of fMguel's
army was exposed without calculation and
providence, urges the assistance Of Spain
Don Miguel is ready TO submit himself to
Spain, and even descend TO tho rank Of q
Duke Of Bragauza, and lose the regal ele-
yation OF his family, rather than witness
the result Of successful effort in favor OF
Donna Maria"
1t is stated in letter from Brazil by way
ofFrance, that the Portuguese squadron a,
Goa, had received orders from the captain
general, Don Manuel Portugal, TO proceed
to Rio Janciro or to Mozambique, for the
purpose Of taking the instructions Of the
Emperor relative TO the support Of Ter
ceira.
The King Of Spain has recovered from
his late illness.
The Morning Herald Of the 9Th of Oc-
tober contains letter from Lisbon, from
which tho following is an extract:
"John Bulls rival, Jonathan.Vis likely to
interfere by force Of arms-for the sea-
men ofthe American whuler, Gaatea, have
been treated with the greatest indignity.
When that ship was seized, sixty Portu-
gueso sailors, armed, Hnd prize master
wcro put on board-yet, under pretence
OF tho sailors having attempted TO take
the ship out of St. Nicholas,th the Portuguese
officer sent them, in irons, to the gaol Of
that islnnd. They were removed, in irons,
on board tho Diana frlgate-but when out
Of sight Of land, their irons were removed,
and they were forced to aid in working
that ship. On coming near Portugal they
wero again ironcd, and, after four days
detention on board, sent, under strong
escort, to tho filthy gaol ut Lisbon, and
thrown into the filthiost psrt OF it, among
robbers, murderers, sOdomIies, &c. One
Of them was obliged to be removed on q
pallet, from Illness and is now dying in the
hospital. The American Consul General,
Mr.. HutchosOn, by paying tor other accom-
modatious, has had them removed from
this place Of horEOrs--where, ns thcro is
TO prison allowance, they would bo forced
to live on the pittnnco Of charity. Al
his own expense, the American Con.
sui now supplies them with food and other
nccessaries. While John Bull has so
tamely put up with bad treatment, it is not
likely Jonathan will"

IN Acknowledgements Of ms former ser
vices, presents spectacle no less novel
than cngs ging and delightful. OF all the
events of this age so fertile in singular Q.
vents, none perhaps is more singular than
this. 1t is at the same time an honor to
France; for in the person of one of her
most ilustrious citizens, she is amply re.
warded for the generous part which she
took in the achieyment Of American liberty.
On these two accounts, few works can be
entitled to a more attentive perusal than q
faithful narrative Of NJ. La Fayette's tour.
This narrative is from ts nature very inter.

statistical description of soun-

its independence, and a view Of its present
civilization. In the space Of one year, La
