Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Aug. 10, to a respectable gentleman in Marblehead.
"As to politics, it is thought the general Peace of Europe is remote; the Court of Spain has concluded to dispatch a squadron of 16 men of war from Cadiz, (their destination a secret;) but to sail in company with Richery's squadron, of 7 sail of the line and 3 frigates: and openly give out, that they mean to protect them, in consequence of which the British Admiral Mann, who was cruising off Cadiz with 5 sail of the line and 3 frigates, prudently retreated to Gibraltar. The result of this business, it is strongly suspected, will be a rupture between England and Spain."
