Last evening arrived the brig Little Maria, capt. Thompson, in 56 days from Lisbon. Captain T. informs that a few days previous to his leaving Lisbon, the Court of Portugal received a formal demand from Buonaparte, for the sum of Eight Millions Crowns, to remain neutral, and to permit the French vessels free entry in the ports of Portugal-That if this was refused, he would immediately send an army of sixty thousand men under the command of General Brune who was waiting with an army of twenty five thousand men at Dijon, in readiness to march at a moment's warning ;and that Spain had given consent to their marching through her territory-That this information had delayed the sailing of the British Packet, and that the Court of Portugal it was generally believed were about returning a categorical answer.
