Advices have been received at the Admiralty from Sir John B. Warren of the French meditating adefeent upon tiie coast of Cornwall. Overtures have been made from the Court of Spain to this country for a renewal of amity, with a view to the re commencement of hoftiiities with France! The Sing of Pruflia is collecting a large army, and will soon be lubfi dized by England with the fame vie w. Tlie last difpatcbes from Admiral Earl St. Vincent Rate, ■'that the Spaniards vvq-e laying up all their fliips at Cadiz for the winter. Urn cirtumßance induced his Lordfl.ip to return to the Tagus, having left a squadron to watch the enemy. Lord St. Vincent has difeovered that the Tagus is na vigable for veflels of 300 tons at leaß 12 leagues higher than it has ever been imagined by the Portugueie that even a small boat could venture. It was the watering party of the fleet that made this difeovery; they found, where the natives thought the navigation impracticable, four fathoms of water and good anchorage. Accounts’ received yefforday from the coaß of France contradict tbofe on the authority of which it was feme fince Rated, that the fleet at Brest was dismantling; on the contrary, it is now said great exertions are making to fit cut a Rrong squadron for iea ; the general idea pre vailing is, that during tlie winter months anew attempt will be made againß Ireland, which country, in France, is confide red in a Rate of actual rebellion* November 15. ►lt is certain that the laR letters from Li lb on declare in the moft decided terms that the Spanish Court hive fig lifted to the PortugueL (government that it would not fuffer French troops to march through Spain to • attack Portugal. It is e r en intimate linlo ne letters that the Court of Madrid was about to make a leparate peace with this country. Nautical Intelligence. Very far from tlie Republic of France having given up tlie idea of any future efforts by sea, we are enabled to Rate from undoubted authority, that it lias 24 Riips of the line at present- building, 9 cf them firß rates; and the ex ertions ufld to complete them are unequalled in the history of that or any other nation. Every person who can use the ax or adze, and can be pro ured, though altogether unacquainted with Riip building, is employed in the Inte rior, under proper directors, in cutting out, boiling, and lhaping the rimber, and the whole is conveyed to the dock yards entirely ready for the various uses leqnired. As the timlrer made life ofy however, is by no means properly seasoned, t! e duration of their fliips muR be ftioit, and it appears improbable that they can man them ; but that they aie determined either to try their strength again on the ccejn, or to attempt femb expedition of the greateß con sequence, is ail and übi. I’he Admiralty have received certain advice that the Toulon fleet is arrive lat Breß. We have pot learnt the irumber-of ships- t-,at Hale round and evaded the vigilance of our fleets; but the rumor is that they are fi : ships of the line.’ This mu ft be that part of their fleet therefore which was left at Toulon when the expedition was made to the Adriatic Sea ; and the filin'; of that squadron are not included in the fleet tint his come round to Brtß. This measure fi'-ms- to indicate a ferions design of anew arma ment at Bo.R. Accordingly, if we rrfiy give credit to rumor, the ships which had gone into the inner road have come again into the outer, where they are now lying at anchor, 17 foil in number. In adli don to the above intelligence relative to the naval preparations making by the French we Rate, from the beR authority, tint the Spaniards have 33 or 34 fliips of the line at Cadiz, equipped and ready for foa, betides 3 ships of the line equally equipped lying in Algefiris Bay, near Gibraltar, ani a pretty Rrong fleet fitted at Carthagena. A bill is to be brought into the House for the protection 6f the Underwriters, to oblige a’l trading vessels to fail •with convoy, anl not to leave it for the fake of gaining tlie firß of a market. This is to he done by making it ioi pofiiblc for them to break bulk after they arrive in the port rs their dtftination until the convoy with which tliey failed shall ?!{’<> arrive. November 20. -Letters from Madrid, received by the Lifbcn mail of Saturday, appear to confirm the statement, that the Court of Spain refules to admit of tlie French troops marching across that country to attack the frontier of Portugal. 1 here are no longer any warlike preparations making in the Spanish ports; the troops are moreover withdrawing from the Portuguese frontier and the camp of St. Roche, i lie Spanish Minißry has undergone a confi derahle change, of which tlie Prince of Peace is no longer a member. Ihe exchange of couriers between the two Courts of Madrid and Lisbon, during tlie laR month, has been more frequent than at any perioi during tne war. Ail the accounts, both public and private, Rate, that the utmoß harmony continues between the allied Courts of Spain and Portugal* Edinburgh, November 2. Yesterday the Magistrates and Council ordered the freedom of the city to be prelented to Lord Vifoount Djncan in a gold box, value iccguineas. The Town Os Dundee has voted a piece of plate, value 100 guineas, to Admiral Lord Duncan, as a grand tefti inony of t’ e sense they entertain of bis Lordibip’s highly important services. •*~*~***——■— l >"■ ■ J!l * g, BPßßTff^***** lM * Ml * , **^ M ” “ 11 ... * B'j'STON, December 20.
