Several colums of French and Italian troops are at his moment traversing the Tyrol, to proceed through the kingdur of Bavaria to their ulterior destination. These troops are ac companied by some regimens of cavalry, remarkable for their fine appearance and the beauty of their horses. We shortly expect in this town a corps of Neapolitan troops, proceeding from Italy for the Grand Army. The Tyrol enjoys the greatest tranquillity, and the inhabitants manifest a sincere devotion to the King. Accounts from Italy inform us, that the Army of Observation, which was formed there, is now encamped between the Piave and Adige, and that this army is daily reinforced by new regiments, which cross the Adige. We know, that several corps of infantry and cavalry are still in march to proceed thither. His Serene Highness the Prince Viceroy has his head quarters at Verona.

Jones, No. 5, Newgate-Street> THE hope that the late Armistice and intended Congress would lead to the establishment of a general and a lasting Peace, has at length been set at rest, and War, in all its exterminating horrors, is again about to burst forth and overspread the hapless plains of Germany.It had been strongly asserted that the weakness of France had not only instigated the cessation of hostilities, but would be a powerful incentive to temper her demands in the general conference: so far, however, from such proving to be the case, it is now declared to be the haughty and inadmissible demands of the French Emperor that have occasioned the abrupt termination of that conference and the unlooked-for accession of AUSTRIA to the cause of the Allies. Thus are we completely borne out in our uniform conjectures and opinion, that France was still possessed of power, notwithstanding her recent losses, sufficient to assert her haughty pretensions, and to maintain them against all hazard. -It never was a question with us, that the French Emperor would agree to concession; he knew his own strength too well; and it will remain to be seen if he have over-rated it.-He now, as is expected, will have to contend against a combination of more formidable appearance than ever yet offered itself to oppose him. Russia, Prussia, Sweden, Austria, Spain, Portugal, and the British Empire; in fact, all Europe seems risen in arms to brave him, to brave that Power, which, but a few months since, was said to be annihilated, and yet is still found to defy them all!-But what becomes now of the position, that Russia and Prussia alone were able to dispute the palm, and liberate the reputed slaves of Germany -The accession of Austria, (if indeed she really VOL, III, the rebuke which was received, let who will have been the man, de serves to be recorded as a noble instance of genuine valour and virtu ous pride:-" Go, (said the Admiral,) before you demand the honour"able satisfaction of a soldier, go meet your country; and, when you "have settled your account there, and can meet me as a man of ho "nour, I shall be found to do you justice likewise; at present we are "not on equal terms." WAR IN AMERICA. There have been no particular arrivals since our last.-The American Army still retains possession of a portion of the British territory in Canada. Not that their progress is any detraction from the merits of the British Soldier, but is a living proof of the insufficiency of our Rulers for the multifarious business of the war, which their own folly has created. To use a homely phrase, they have too many irons in the fire, each of which is one too many.-The success in Spain has given them confidence, but to which success they have been driven more from necessity for their own immediate protection than from any principle of genuine ability and exertion. - There has been another instance of British gallantry displayed in the capture of the Argus, American ves sel, by the Pelican, after a short but severe action. These instances of bravery and national superiority tend to revive the national feeling, and stimulate to farther efforts; and thus is evinced the inference, that, not to the declining spirit of our brave seamen, but to the inadequacy of their means, is to be attributed the recent disgrace entailed upon the British arms. We have now nearly balanced our account with the enemy; we have nearly taken ship for ship, with no inferiority in style gallantry; and, no doubt, will quickly take the lead. Their puny Navy must not, dare not, keep the seas for a much longer time; not that the nagnanimous Warren can be expected to contribute much to wards riding us of such a rival; but there is a spirit existing among us, which even the niggardly cold-blooded efforts of a blockading Admiral cannot wholly discourage or extinguish. The American Navy must be swept from the ocean; it is incompatible with the maritime honour and character of England to endure its existence; it is a libel on her greatness, a blight upon her honour and independence; and its annihilation has become of treble importance in the present stage of circumstances, when our maritime supremacy has been made the theme of jealousy and dissension, and placed in the great scale of con troversy among the Nations; which, if it be our determination to up hold, let us at least evince the ability to maintain it inviolate.

In the name of God, gracious and merciful! Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the High and Mighty Prince, the Frince Regent of Portugal, and of the Algarves, &c. and the Right Hon. and Noble Sid Hage Aly, Bashaw of Algiers, agreed upon between the said Bashaw, with his Divan and the chief men of his States, and Jose Joaquim da Rosa Coelho, Captain in the Royal Navy, and Fr. Jose de Santo Antonio Moura, Interpreter of Arabick; and belonging to the office of Secretary of State for the Affairs of Marine, duly authorised to conclude the said Treaty, in which His Britannic Majesty interposed as mediator, and for that purpose Mr. Wm. A'Court, Envoy Extraordinary from the Court of London, presented himself with the necessary powers. Art. I. There shall be firm, stable, and perpetual peace, between the two High contracting Parties, and their respective subjects; and all vessels, whether of war, or commerce, may freely navigate, and with full security, according to their convenience, carrying with them for that purpose the necessary passports. II. All ships and subjects of Portugal may enter, depart, remain, trade, and provide themselves with every necessary in the dominions of Algiers, without being placed under any embarrassment, or having any violence done them.-The subjects and vessels of Algiers shall be treated in the same manner in the dominions of Portugal. III. The ships of war belonging to the Crown of Portugal may provide themselves with stores, or any thing they stand in need of, in the ports of Algiers, and at the current price, without being obliged to pay any thing additional for that privilege. IV. No Algerine corsair shall cruize within the distance of six miles from the coast of Portugal, and its isles, or remain VOL. IN. in those waters, for the purpose of giving chase to, or visiting Portuguese ships, or those of any other nation, the enemy of Algiers, visiting the said ports for commercial purposes. Portuguese ships of war on the Algerine coast shall follow the same regulation. V. When any Portuguese merchant vessel is met by an Algerine corsair, and the latter demands to visit her, he may do so; but not more than two persons are to go on board the said vessel, to examine her papers and passports. VI. Foreigners of any nation, and merchandise of foreign owership found on board any Portuguese vessel, even though belonging to a nation hostile to the Regency of Algiers, shall not be seized under any pretext whatever. The same rule shall be observed by the Portuguese, in regard to property found by them on board any Algerine vessel. In like manner the subjects and goods belonging to either of the contracting parties, found on board the vessel of an enemy of either of the said parties, shall be respected and set at liberty by both. But they are not to commence their voyage without a proper passport; and if that should happen to be mislaid, such persons shall not on that be accounted slaves; but on the contrary, upon its being certified that they are subjects of the contracting parties, they shall be immediately set at liberty. VII. Should any Portuguese vessel, chased by an enemy, take refuge in any port of the dominons of Algiers, or under its fortifications, the inhabitants shall defend the said vessel, and shall not assent to its receiving any damage. In like manner should any Portuguese vessel fall in with an enemy's ship in a port of Algiers, and wish to depart on her destination, her enemy shall not be permitted to sail from the port till twenty-four hours after her departure. The same shall take place with regard to Algerine vessels in the harbours of Portugal. VIII. Should any Portuguese vessel be shipwrecked or stranded on the Alger XX : coast, the Governor and inhabitants of the district shall treat the crew with due humanity, doing them no harm, nor permitting them to be robbed on the contrary they shall afford them all possible assistance in saving the said ship and cargo; the crew not being bound to pay any thing to such salvors but their salary or day's wages. The same shall hold with regard to any Algerine vessel wrecked on the Portuguese coast. IX. The subjects of Portugal may trade in the Algerine ports in the same manner, paying the same duties, and enjoying the same privileges as those stipulated for the English. Algerine subjects shall pay in Portugal the same duties as those paid by the English. X. The Portuguese Consul, established in the dominions of Algiers, shall be accounted and treated like the British Consul; and he, as well as his servants, and all others who may wish to practice it, shall enjoy the free exercise of his religion in his own house. The same Consul may decide all controversies and disputes arising among Portuguese subjects, without The Judges of the country, or any other authority, being entitled to interfere except where a controversy arises between a Portuguese and a Moor, in which case the Governor of the country may decide it, in the presence of the said Consul. XI. The said Consul and his agents shall not be bound to pay any debt contracted by Portuguese subjects, unless where he has bound himself by writing under his hand and seal. XI. When any Portuguese dies in the dominions of Algiers, all his property shall be delivered to the Portuguese Consul, in order to be remitted to the heirs of the deceased. XIII. Should there happen any, infraction of the present treaty on the part of the subjects of Portugal, or those of Algiers, it shall not on that account be censidered as dissolved; but the origin of such circumstance shall be examined into, and proper satisfaction given to the injured party. XIV. In case of war being declared between the two high contracting parties (which God avert), hostilities shall not be committed on either side till the expira tion of six months after the said declara-' tion. During that interval the Portuguese Consul, and all the subjects of that king doin, may retire with all their property, without receiving the least hindrance; and Algerine subjects in Portugal shall do the same. XV. Whatever is not specified in the above articles shall be regulated by the articles of Peace established between His Britannic Majesty and the Regency of Algiers. XVI. And that this Treaty may be firm and durable, the two high contracting parties accept as Mediator and Guarantee of its observance, the King of Great Bri. tain in testimony of which this Treaty is signed by Mr. A'Court, Envoy Extraordinary from the Court of London, jointly with the above mentioned Envoys of Portugal; and two copies of the same shall be extracted, one for the Sovereign of Portugal, and the other to remain in the possession of the resident Consul at Algiers.

ANTONIO MOURA [Here follows the ratification of the above Treaty by the Lords Governors of Portugal.] SWEDISH REPLY To an Article in The Moniteur of June 21. and, Moniteur-" In the year 1811, Sweden. made known at Paris the desires he had of uniting Norway to Sweden, demanded the assistance of France. She was answered that, whatever wish France had to do an agreeable thing to Sweden, a treaty of alliance baving been concluded with Denmark, guaranteeing the integrity of that power, His Majesty could not give his consent to the dismemberment of the territory of his ally." Swedish Reply. France proposed to Sweden to make part of a Confederacy of the North, about to be formed between Denmark and the Dutchy of Warsaw.Sweden replied that the politics of France having lost Finland to Sweden, the latter would never confide in any Power but one that should enable her to acquire Norway. France wishing to join Sweden to the fedral system, was not satisfied with this reply. Moniteur-"From this moment Sweden detached herself from France, and entered into negociations with her ene mies." Swedish Reply. This is not' true.Sweden did not detach herself from France till France bad invaded Pomerania in violation of the faith of treaties." This unjust invasion, gave rise to reflections which shewed the extent of the designs of France, designs tending to destroy the |
