Extract of a letter dated "Lisbon, June 26th, 1801."

"The peace between this country Spain, and France, was concluded about the 8th or 9th instant, and ratified by the two former immediately: The conditions have not been made public; however, it is said great sacrifices were made in money and diamonds, besides giving up territory in this Kingdom, Brazils, and India: and regarding Great Britain, the ports to be completely shut to all ships of war and commerce. We have felt very unpleasant sensations ever since this treaty has been concluded--not knowing precisely our own situation but having seen the effects of every similar peace concluded by the French, when it suited their interest to overleap the terms, we have judged it a matter of prudence to place our property, as quickly as possible, out of their reach, and we hope, by the end of this month, that all of it will be shipped, and the vessels all ready to sail with the first convoy that offers. Within these few days a new alarm has taken place: It is said to be a very doubtful case whether the First Consul will ratify this peace or not; in fact, 'tis suspected he will not, and his brother, Lucien Bonaparte, who concluded it at Badajoz, with Mr. Pinto, and the Prince of Peace, declared, on the receipt of dispatches, that he much doubted it, and had the Courier arrived before he had signed it, it would have been broken off;--it is likewise said, that he has forbidden the court of Spain to publish it. The Spaniards are not less alarmed than the Portuguese, from the great bodies of troops that the French are pouring into Spain: some people suspect it is to revolutionize Spain, &c. others to make embarkments of troops for Ireland or Italy be it as it may, it places us again in a very unpleasant situation, and makes every person think very seriously of quitting the country, at least every one that can remove his property;--such as have debts owing them, must remain or give them up."
