Unavoidable circumstance oblige us to defer the remainder of Zelot's No. 8; - but it will be attended to in our next.

The first January Mail, which we mentioned in our last, as having arrived in Barbados, reached here on Tuesday last. Its contents were in part anticipated, but the Barbados Mercury mentions that London Papers have been received there three days later than by the Mail.

Government has received the Official Dispatches from Sir Sidney Smith, respecting the Abdication of the Throne of Portugal by the Family of Braganza, and of their departure for the Brazils, where, it will be seen by our extracts of to-day, that the Trade is open with Great Britain, and it is said Lord Strangford is appointed as our Minister.

On Sunday Morning last the Orion, Captain Ross, arrived in the River, but we cannot learn that he brings any news, 'tho he had but a short passage.

Yesterday the Phillis, of London, via Madeira, arrived here, she reports that Sir T. Duckworth arrived at Madeira in quest of the Rochefort Squadron, which had escaped his Vigilance, he was but one week from the Channel, and concluded he overshot them and immediately went after them. Strong apprehensions were entertained in Madeira for the safety of the Cork Fleet, as the Enemy is reported to have steered nearly in the same direction with it. T. Delisle, Esq. came Passenger in the Phillis.

On Tuesday Morning at 7 o'clock the whole of the Convoy from hence, sailed from the Bar, under the escort of His Majesty's Brig Julia, it consisted of nine Ships, one Brig, and a Schooner.

FROM THE LONDON PAPERS. [heading]

- JAN. 5. - [heading]

From a Letter addressed to the American Consul at Marseilles, there is every reason to believe that the Algerines have declared war against America.

A Note in the Moniteur, upon an article in an English Paper, relative to America, convinces us more and more that Bonaparte is using every effort to induce the United States to make common cause with him against this Country.

- JAN. 6. - [heading]

The want of colonial produce, tobacco, of drugs, of sugar, materials for dyeing, is severely felt in every part of the Continent. Our readers may judge how severely they must be felt when the Moniteur even ventures to confess it in the following article from Lower Saxony of the 9th ultimo.
"Tobacco becomes scarcer every day, and no hopes is left of procuring any - cottons are scarce, and in great demand - indigo the same - cochineal is not to be had - materials for dyeing are in great request, particularly Pernambuco wood."

Private advices from Paris of the 24th ult. state - "No arrivals from America can now take place, for all vessels that have touched in England, even by force, will, on their arrival in France be condemned, together with their cargoes. If they arrive in France without having touched in England, the cargoes and certificates are to undergo the strictest examination, and if admitted to an entry, bonds are to be given to export the amount in French manufactures."

Bonaparte's Decree of the 23d of November has been rigidly enforce at Hamburgh. An American vessel, on her voyage to that place, touched at Falmouth, and on her arrival in the Elbe, the Captain and Crew were examined under the strict letter of the Decree. It being discovered that the vessel had touched at Falmouth, the ship was seized, and the Captain and Crew imprisoned until the fine of 6000 marks should be paid by the Captain, and 500 by each of the sailors. The ship and cargo were, in the first instance, placed under the care of the military, and soon after confiscated. The Mate of the ship contrived to effect his escape, and is arrived in town he left Hamburgh about ten days ago.

Intelligence has been received in the City, that an American vessel was not long since condemned at Velencia [sic], upon detecting that she had touched at Cork.

Bonaparte may be compared to a master-taylor. He has cut down the King of Prussia's great coat to a spencer, he has added a skirt to the Duke of Wirtemberg's jacket, and a cape to the Elector of Saxony's morning gouwn, but he has take cane to put them all in livery.
