Immense contributions will be imposed ' as the price of liberty ; public arid private property will be plundered, and all young ' men forced to enhft or fly, that in the latter ' cafe their eflateS may be confifcated. Buona parte, at the time he signed a treaty of peace ' with the pope, invited againil his holiness the duchy of Urbino, wffich has lately been revolutionized. After having induced the grand dukfe of Tufcany to pay four millions ps livres on condition of the French garrison being withdrawn from Leghorn, he has ordered it to be again occupied a •whole division. The very moment the llate of Genoa had ransomed itfelf, all its fubjefts who poflefs any property in the Imperial Fiefs, were crulhed with taxes. Prince • Doria has-paid 150,000 b'vres ; and the Fiefques, the Balbis, and others, have been saddled with enormous sums. Biwnaparte has extorted from Lom bardy 130 millions in money and merchan dize* without taking into the account the spoliations of churches, the pillage of pri vate property, and the robberies committed ' with arms in hand. Three lours were fuf ficient for general Maffena to seize 011 the Mount of Piety and Milan, containing pre cious effefts to the amount of *IJ millions of livres, and on the chests of the. hospitals, communities, &c. The fame line of con was obfervediy the French generals at .Bologna, Modcna, and Ferrara. All the .'.furniture of the archduke Ferdinand, at Monza, has-been pillaged. This prince had removed a considerable part of his effefts to Bergamo, a neutral totvn ; but Buonaparte ordered them to be carried off by force, and a piece of furniture worth 583,000 livres, with which the late queen of France had presented the archduchess, has fallen to the lot ps his wife. " Salicetti has by these means raised a fortune of four millions; Buonaparte, a still greater ; and all the other generals and com initfaries hive coUes uear Botzcil is ccmputed at 14,000 men.

Agreed. The . iioufe again refolded itfelf into a i Committee of the Whole on the fubjeft of fortifications, when Mr. Allen moved to add a clause* to the bill, to the following efleft, viz. "to em power the President of the United to authorize the Governor of the State of New 7ork. to expend a certain sum, not exceeding for the purpose of fortify ing the ports and harbours of the State of New 2'ork, provided the sum so expended be placed to the credit of the said State, on •account of the balance found due from,that State to the United States, and provided that that State cede the right of jurifdic : tiori of the places Upon which such Fortifi ' cations (hall be erefted, to the United States." " Mr, Brookes opposed the motion, as be ing particularly pointed at the State of New 7ork. Mr. Havens proposed an amendment to at, which was to make it apply generally to all the debtor States, instead of confining it to the State of New 7~ork alone. Mr. Harper seconded the motion, and Mr. Allen conferited to have it incorporated in his proportion. Mr. Skinner advocated the motion, and denied that it operated in a particular man- ■ ner upon the State of New Tork. Mr. S. Smith was in favour of the mo tion. He wilhed the business of fortifica tion to be gone into effectually, by securing, every principal port in the Union, and not that final! sums- (hould be (pent here and there which could produce no good effeft. If he were Secretary of War, therefore, he (hould think it bed to expend the whole 75,000 now proposed to Ve appropriated, on the' fortifications on Mucf-Ifland, as he did not think any particular exigency at present called for partial measures. Mr. Williams agreed with the gentleman last up, that attention ought to be paid to -all the. fnportant ports in the United States ; of course he (hould be in favour of the amendment ; and he did not doubt but, rather than be continually stigmatized with being debtors, the State of New 2vrk would consent to lay out the a (Turned debt at the Narrows, thu' he believed, they would not like the way in which the business had been done. Mr. Brookes was opposed to the motion, as the debtor States would be deprived of , all advantage from the 75,000 dollars ap propriated ; he also infilled that the debt said to be due from the State ps N- T'ork . to the United States, ought riot to be drawn into the prefeut discussion, but if it were to j be considered, it \vould be proper to let the . fubje£l (land alone.

I have therefore the honor to acquaint you, that no neutral vessel (hall hereafter be jv fuffered to enter or leave the port of Cadiz, without having obtained my permission or that of the Commander in Chief of the ' Britilh Fleet—that from this moment Cadiz y is to be considered as a Blockaded port. ■, a I have the honor to be, &c._ - T HORATIO K^LfeONv To the D?ni(h Consul, '- , .

Capt- Baxter informs us, that the Spaniards were fitting out in that harbour, a fleet of 33 fail of the line, besides 15 frigates, and 7 fire-lhips, with the greatest expedition, • insomuch that the workmen in the" nayal ■yards and on board the (hipping were work ing double tides—that the newly appcinred admiral Don' Mafferado, was a great favor ite with the crews, to whom he had been p peculiarly kind, in recommending an entire ' n new dock of provisions, &c f and an advance of 30 dollars per month, which the Gov. 1 ! erpment complied with—that .this Fleet was ,to be joined by 7 French and 7 Spaniih-fhips of the line from Cartliagcna, and that when this jupftion was. made, they were determi ned to attack admiral Jervis, and drive him from the Mediterranean, or perish in the at- "c tempt. It is said that the King of Spain I is so highly incensed against a number of the 1 J officers of the late fleet defeated by admiral ( Jervis, that he is determined to puni(h them < 1 severely. The Santiflima Trinidada v/as ' nearly ready for sea, and is to make one. of i [ the above fleet. It was said thewhole would ' fail from Cadiz in 20 days. ' On the 26th April, capt.
