(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 gairnt his withdrawing to the Brazils. ’ 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.

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. ffccoiding to information received yes- ! terday from Plymouth, through a vessel which has just arrived there from St. An des, the prohibitory deoees of Buona parie against our commerce are in future to c eit oiced in ihe Spanish ports with the utmost rigour.— An order had been received at St. ffnderc, just before, this i vessel sailed, enjoining that no Wool should be exported to any port ot the B,\. tish Empire, as woo! is the principal ar ttrfe ot Spanish produce imported into the United Kingdom, one n.av infer from this order the total prohibition of any com merce with Spain, as far as the otders of the government can be effective.
