a Prince, and influenced by a factious and perfidious minority, was soon roused fiercely enough to render vain all attempts which the better class of the Portuguese society, and the great majority of the enlightened part of the nation, tried to employ, to maintain their rights, to fulfil their oaths, and to defend themselves against the domestic robber, who was legally invested with all the official powers, To maintain, therefore, that the whole of the Portu guese nation has been and is still favourable to Don MI GULL'S views, would be a paradox ; as it would be equally unfair, on the other hand, to deny that he is upheld by a wow faction of privileged people, and by a fanatical rabble. It is true that the dissolution of the party which hoisted at Oporto Queen Donna MARIA'S flag, wee, in great measure, operated by the numerical supe riority of the armed assemblage of the inhabitants of the two Northern Provinces ; but it is not less true, that besides the faults, which we will not defend, of a great part of the leaders of that insurrection, that event was the consequence of the military organisation, so well known to the British officers, of the Portuguese popu lation, which being all constituted into regiments of militias and onlenancas, affords always to the existing Government the easy means of bringing a large nume rical force into the field, when orders are issued for it through an official channel. But the best proof that there exists in Portugal a con siderable dissenting party from the actual Government, will be found in the subsequent events, if you consider the large number of Portuguese emigrants who since that time have abandoned their country, their families, I their property, and who are still pouring out from Portu gal, not only to avoid persecution, but to testify their loyalty, and to wait fur chances of asserting their rights.
