M Ilt , PORTUGAL. ,_, . , ,~ I• ~ .. LISBON, JUNE is. The Port' uguefe Government has, till the pre fent moment, negleaed all the - meansof defence which the Country afforded. It never gave any credit to ihethieatsonliain, becaufe, to exclude the baglifh from the ports of Portugal, would be to invite them to leek for the Indeuuuties which die Foreign Po/fauns of the two Powers would obviouily prefent to them. It thought *that its f)tlitm of policy was full more juftified by the eie' cumftance, that even France was much interefiecf in preventing the execution of there threats. There eaufes led to the furprize -of the country. . In the firft fortnight of hoftilities,.the Provinces of-Alentejo bas been conquered. On the Bth of June, the Spaniards, eu,ooo ftrong, bad already Yeachtd Gavioa, boar. leagues from Abrantcs.— There were no fortified plecestoimpede their pro. , grels to Lifbon ; and there were tippofed fo them only 15,000 men at the uttnoft, commanded too by the Duke of Foalisa, who was conftantly re treating before them.' Several final! pofts have forrenifereti withont'any refillance, among others Xeriunenka. The Commander of this place, who very prudently flipulated in his capitulation, that he fhould not terve for four,years, has been ex -1 tremely ill-received here. It-has been Paid, how ever, that he was obliged to as as he did by his Officers, who were influenced by the defpair dif played by the foldien. The cafe has been' very different with the brave Commander of .Campo Maggiore, who did not furrender till the Sth of June, all his warlike Wires and provifions being then exhaufted. Lieutenant-General Faasza, ac:. cording to report, propofed to the Duke to make on attack with the Englifh troops, in order to Omni fuccours into the place, but this offer was rejeifted. • • It is true that ts,ooo men have been affembled , in the neighbourhood of Portalegne, but without any means being provided for their fubfiftence,'and *Mont magazines or warlike fibres. It could tearcely -have been expeaed that the auxiliary troops, accafionied as they have been for morel than four years to receive regularly a large allow mice provifions, fhould fubniit with equal refig nation to a [late qf viant:bordering on famine, the' rico of an-ammunition foal being five (billings, and that of a bottle of water one !billing.

After the Royal Anent had been duly declared to all the Bills earned in the Commiftion, the Loan Cuaneastoa, by Command, and in the name of his MAJESTY, addreffed the following Speech to both Houfes of Parliament : " My Lord: good Gooktarro, " We have it in Command from His Majefty to acquaint you, that on account of the advanced Period of the Seafon, and the State of Public flu finefs, he is induced to relieve you from a longer attendance in Parliament. " His Majefty highly commends the Wifdom, Temper, and Diligence, nohich have marked all your Proceedings; and particularly acknowledges the Atliduity td Zeal with which you have pur fued the Inv igation of the important Subjeds brought under your Confideration, in confequence of the revere Preffure occafioned by the high Price of Corn.
