(trillion of his vi&i.ns. How is the ‘
King of pruffia'to raifo upwards of
( million ftcrHtrg ? The revenues of the
I wiferab'e remnant of !v; former douji
k nions of which he is in poflertion, would
m not amount to so much in ten years, j
~ The narrow (I rip of laud at the other
fide of the NJiemen, is the only part of
his territory where his authority can
be said to be fairly ellablifhed. The
relt is as much under the control of
France as it was the day the peace o’
Tilfit was (juried. As to occupying the
PtuHian fortielfes, there was no occa
sion for a formal application for that
purpose. There is nothing to prevent
rhe troops of Fratice from marching
into them.
It is probable S r )ohn Moore, with
a confiderafcle military force, has reach
ed the Tagus ere now. Orders, we
underfland , were sent to this general,
that on the arrival of the rroops from
Alexandria, he should proceed with
one half or the Britilh army in Sicily
to Gibraltar* where he would receive
further inst? uttions. Now as that gar-
Tifon Hands in no need of reinforce
ments, it is inferred, that he has been
called from the Mediterranean to pro
left the government of Portugal, and
enable the Pi ince Regent to suppress
any opposition which the emissaries of
France might endeavor to excite a

’ December 6.
Advices reached town yesterday from
Madeira of the 4th ult. which entirely
agree with those pre doutly received,
that every exertion was making there
by the new Governor, to place the isl
and in a refpefci-ible Hate of defence,
which he found extremely difficult,
from the ruinous fbuation in which the
works were. At rhe date of these ad
vices, it was apprehended by the’ go.
veinment, that a British squadron
would loon arrive to attack {he I (land.
On the other hand, it was eatneHly
hoped by the people at large, that a
lirjiifli force would make its appear
ance, for to this nation only they look
ed for feemi y and protection. At the
time, no doubt, that the Portuguese
Packet failed with the new Governor
from Lisbon, it was the intention of the
government to attempt a reconciliation
with France, by laying an embargo
upon Biitifh vcflT Is, aid seizing their
property; but finee it has appealed,
that Bonaparte will not relax fiom his
determination “ that the Prince Regent
loles his throne,” there is hardly a cioubi
that he will unite with the people in
placing Madeira in the hands of Eng
land.
Some difference of opinion on the
fubjeti of the late expedition to the Bal
tic, is reported to prevail in the Cabi
nfctj anditis ad led, that two of the
Secretaries of Start, have ceased to
hold intercourse with each other, ex
celling on official lubjetls. A dislo
cation of (everai of the Members oft 1 e
Cabinet will probably take place pre
vious to the meeting of Parliament.

// lew days previous to the id, a FreOrlt
frigate, of 36 guns, provisioned for a voy.
age ol seven months, proceeded frdm
Cherburgh ro Brest. There was in the
former pnrt a French corvette, carrying
16 guns, lately returned from a cruise.
She had been to sea for some weeks, and
during her cruise fell in with the home
ward bound Fast India fleet. It was this
corvette that boarded the Lord Eldon In.
dla man, in Portland roads, and was so
gallantly repulsed; she was commanded
by the nephew ol General Moreau, who
lost his life at the wheel of the Lord EL
don, by a sabre blow from Capt. Young,
which severed his head from his bod\.
Ihe American ship Victory had been
seized at Cherburgh, on account of the
captain having made a false declaration,
and not as has been reported lor having
ruin on board. It was necessary before
is inward clearance could be effected At
lle Uutuom H juse there, that be should
piove he had no goods of British manti-
Incline on board ; mat he had not touched
at a British port, and that he had.noi
becu detained by a British cruiser. The
captain acknowledged his detention for
live hours by an English cruiser-, and this
was deemed suiueieot to seal, his con
dcmnaiion.—. Such are the statements of
the American captain.
