A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, hat been this day received from Lord Viscount Strang ford, His Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Courtot Lisbon, by the Right Honourable George Canning, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Mfaus. His Majesty's ship Hibernia, .' the Tape, NorembAr 29, 1607. Si have the honour of announcing to you, that the Prince Regent of Portugal has effened the wise and magnanimous purpose of retiring from a kingdom which he could no longer retain, except as the vassal cf France; and that His Royal Highness and family, accompanied by most of his ships of war, and by a mukitude of his faithful subjeas and adherents, have this day departed from L:sbon, and are now on their way to the Brazils, under the escort of a British Sect. ilk grand and memorable event is not to be ate Vs - bated only to the sudden alarm excited by the ap pearance of a French army within the frontiers of Portugal. It has been the genuine result of the system of persevering confidence and moderation adopted by His Majesty towards that country ; for the ultimate success of which I had in a manner rendered myself responsible ; at,4 which, in obeli .nee to your instruMinns, I had uniformly continued to support, even under apfearanccs of the most din. 1 couraging nature. I had frequently and distinntly stated to the Ca. binet of Lisbon, that in agreeing not to resent the exclusion of Btitish commerce from the ports of Portugal, His Majesty had exhausted the means of forbearance ; that in making that concession to the peculiar circumstances of the Prince Regent's situation, His Majesty had done all that friendship and the remembr nice of ancient alliance could justly require; but that a single step beyond the line of modified hostility, thus most reluelautly consented to, must necessarily lead to the extremity of aiflual war. The Prince Regent, however, suffered himself for a moment to forget that, in the present state of Ee. rope, no country could be permittelto be an enemy to England with impunity, and that however much His Majesty might be disposed to make allowance for the deficiency of the means possessed by Form gal of resistance to the power of France, neither his own dignity, nor the interests of his people, wotdd permit tilts Majesty to accept that excuse for a efm pliance with the full extent of her unprincipleVde mends, On the nth instant, his Royal Highness was jadaced to sign an order for the detemice of the few British subjefts, and of the inzonsiderable portico of British property, which yet remained at i t .lehon. Os das-publication of this ;sealer I ceased the Arms of England to he removed front the gates of my resilience, demanded my passports, presented a filial remonstrance against the teem conduit of the Court of Lisbon, and proceeded to the smnicfron commanded by Sir Sidney Smith, which arrived ISr 1 the coast of Portugal some days after I had received my passports, and which I joined on the 17th inst. I immediately suggested to Sir Sidetn Smith the expediency of establishing the moat rigorous block ade at the mouth of the Tagas ; and I had the high satistaaion of afterwards findiog, that I had thus anticipated the intentions of His Majesty ; your dispatches (which 1 received by the Messenger Bylvester,on the I 3,1) direning me to authorise that Measure, ie case the Portuguese Government should pass the bounds which His Majeny had thought fit to set to his forbearance, and attempt to take any farther step injurious to the honour or interests of Great Btitain. .~ Those Dispatches wet, drawn up under the idea that I was still resident at Lisbon, and though I did not receive them until I bad aetually taken :Ty departure from that Court, still upon a careful:con. sideration of the tenor of your instruCtioos, I thru i .l t that it would be right in adt as if that case had r, t occurred. I resolved, therefore, to proceed f 'rt/ - with to ascertain the tffeEt produced by the blocl.- ade of Lisbon, and to propose to the Portogue , e Government, as the only condition upon which the t blockade could cease, the alternative, stated by you, either of surrendering the &et to His Majesty, or of immediately employing it to remove the Print* Regent and his family to the Brazils. I took upon myself this responsibi,ity in mussing negotiations after my puhlic Nations bad aaually ceased, con vinced that, although it was the fixed efneriumatioa of His Majesty not to suffer the fleet of Portugal to fall into the possession of his enemies, still His Ma jesty's first nbjt continued to be the application of that fleet to the on purpose, of saving the Royal Family of Bragatiza froas the tyranny of France. . I I accordingly requested an audience of the Prince Regent, together with due assurances ot protean a and security ; and upon receiving His Royal . ness's answer, I proceeded to Lisbon on the 27th, His Majesty's snip Conaance, bearing a Bag cf truce. I had immediately most intetestiog com munications with the Court of Lisbon, the parti culars of which shall be fully detailed in a loupe Dispatch. It suffices to mention in this place, that the Prince Regent wisely dire led all his apprehet. *ions to a French army, and all his hopes to tot English fleet; that he received the sr eiplici! as• suratices from me that His Majesty would gene'. ously ovesionk those ads of unwilling and mime!. tary hostility to which His Royal Highness's en' . sent hid been extorted; and that I promised to H Royal Highness, on the faith ot my Sovereign,thi 2 the British squadron before the Tagus ' , tmid been . played to prittea his retreat from Lisbon, and his voyage to the Brazils. A Decree was published yesterday, in wlticti the Prince Regent announced his insention of retiring to the city ot Rio de Janeiro untll4lllWsion of a general peace. and of apkt-•- taanaaß the Admiaiatratian elf"- I . 1 lacy to Lit• A LBION" FIRE and LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, 'CIiAMVE-ALLEY, COHNHILL ; EMPOWERED .
