This measure was necessary, fwor it as iinpossible to anticipate whether the Congress would he able again to asseinble, and it was expedient to leave to the. nation and to posterity an authentic document of the reasons which had influenced their conduct. The declaration and protest are in serted in the bid rio di Governo of the :id of June, and in the Amine it is seen that the Sitting was attended by 77 Members, and out of these, to the honour of the places which elected them, the names of 61 are affixed to the instrument in guts- . ___ METROPOLITAN LAW SOCIETY, For promoting fait add honoitrable Practice„ . and preventing Abuses in the Profession of the Law. rrIIE ANNIVERSARY DINNER of this -1 " Society will be held at the ALBION TAVERN, ALDERSGATE-STREET, on SATURDAY, the sth day of July, 1823, NATHANIEL ATCHESON, tog. in the Chair.

Durin' the sitting In Deputies withdrew, .among whom were some who supported and voted for the motion. One of the Deputies who covered himself with shame, was General Silveiro Pinto de Foneera, who left his post of honour and went off to the King, and from him received a military . command. In this same Hittingg, it was even proposed to nominate a Re gency, as, the King had absented himself I inn strong measures of this kind were now too late, and, without producing any good, might have brought' serious calamities on the country. The proposal was consequently rejected, and, instead of it, thanks were voted to the Constitutional Municipality of the City, the Commercial 'Volunteers, National Guards, Militia,anti People of Lisboni!for the firm and steady conduct they had evinced The lid OtJtme was passed- in a species of apathy bordering en disgust and despair, and in the evening it was known with certainty that on the following morning the troops would re.. enter the city. In the morningof the 4th, they entered with' all the insolence pf rebel soldiers who had gained a signal triumph. In no place, however, did they anew' to much inso. lence as in. the Castle, .when they went to relieve the Com. menial Volunteers, who were doing duty,. which they hail abandoned. They insultingly tore from diem the national cockade, and made them file off before them, as if they had been prisoners marching out of a place taken by assault. The rebel soldiers entered with olive branches on their caps ; but they belied the sentiments of Ewe which they announced, by the arrogance of their words and gestures ' crying out like can tuba's. " Death to the Constitution".-"‘ Long live . the Abso lute Xing !" They were seconded only by the rabble for this purpose hired and paid but on the countenances of all the honourable citizens they found only the expression of horror and contempt. The night which followed this fatal day was dreadfill, for although no blood was spilt, there was a horrid yelling on the part of the drulten soldiers, who were allowed to parade the street'. In the morning of the sth the King entered with the re hunder of the troop* surrounded by a licentious soldiery, and all the h' het and lower marline of Lisbon, and, like a Sovereign of barbarians, he was conducted to the Cathedral to return thanks to God for having broken his own oaths. In order to crown this barbarous triumph,. the King's carriage was drawn through the streets !by dicers of the army and a few nobles. I do not rel ember whether the stupid Cli u bus ever entered Rome, drawn by the military centurions or tribunes;. but here the whole city of I..ishon beheld the triumphant car of John VI., drawn by officers of the Portuguese army. The In fante lion Miguel, named Generalissimo, had a party of almost naked and barefonted countrymen for his etitird of honour, tout in the midst of this barbarous squad, I. litliotved the carriage of his hither. The nights of the 4th,- .Sth, .Bth, and 7th of „Tune, in widen the inhabitants of LiSbon, In order toescape the iosulta of an unbridled soldiery, Were Obliged. to illarninste their houses, were tntnithuotts, yet, veVertheless, passed on without any re. markable accident. l'ew respectable people appeared in the streets, and all the noise and cenfusion that oezurred wait OCca. sioned by the soldiers, and the rabble who accompanied, them. These nocturnal featieities, in fact, rather reseinbled the orgies Of Bachrinallans, than a public and national rejoicing ;. for the Whole interval was ascent of deep regret to every reflecting - roan.. The soldiers and rabble were the only persons who applenden,, end this was particularly visible on the day of the procession,. when the King entered- l'he inhabitants were dumb spectators. Such wattle disgraceful catestrophe that deprived Portugal of her Constitution and if I were asked, what seas the cause ; of this fatal event, I should newer—two miserable factions . . one of which had the whole of it; p-, p inct r nee in the Ali: nistry, and the other in the Cortes. They at least prepared the way for the ruin of the best of causes ; anti it was natural 'enouglethat the enemies of the Constitution eltould avail them. selves of an opportunity for which they were anxiously wait. fug. It' I were further asked, whether the new order of things will be lasting, I should answer-aahat its duration will be in proportion to the good sense anti moral conduct of the new agents of power, for the immorality, bad faith, and want of judgment on the part of the agents of the Constitutional sys. aem,.were the real causer of the loss the nation pax sustained, and must deplore. Nevertheless, if I can judge of the feelings and sentinients of the inhabitants of the whole kingdom, by .what I have seen anti still see in the honourable inhabitants Lisbon, and at the same time reflect on the line of conduct the King and his new Ministers are pursuing, I feel inclined to haz:,rd an opinion that the counter-revolutionary =ty st cm will nut last long. The loyal and high.ininded people of Lisbon will never be 3. satisfied with a system which they know was forcibly este- . bliehed by one of the most black perfidies ever before perpe trend. he total desertion of tile troops, and ;afterwards the flight of the King, suddenly abandoning every thing to anarchy and the fury ,of the passions, was an atrocious anti barbarous plan, caleulated to involve the capital in all kinds of horrors and confusion. The counter.revolutionista expected that the. people of Lisbon, thus left to themselves, would rush into a horrid labyrinth of crimes and disorders, when amidst this political , dissolution they would be called in to re.eatabltals order and public security, AS angels of peace and saviours of the city. So deeply had this pzoject been formed, that when any one joined the rebel* at Villa Franca, the first question asked of him was, whether Lisbon was quiet, and, whether they were nut fighting among themselves ? Such were the ap prehensions the counter-revolutionists haul of the good sense, firmness, and loyalty of the inhabitants of the city, that they did not dare to effect the counter-revolution within its precincts. Hence they went to a distance, and carried with them the best instrument—the King. If, therefore, the whole of Portugal were as well convinced of theperfidious manner in which the. * counter-revolution was brought about as those of the Capital axe, this new state of things most assuredly would not last long.—. This, however, is not the time for prophecies. One of the moat essential instruments of the counter-revolution has been Sepul veda, one of the regenerators of Oporto, Ex-Deputy of the Constituent Cortes, who signed and swore to the Constitution, anti at the same time Governor of time Province of Estretnadura, and Commander of all the forces stationed in the Capital. To this perjured traitor it is that the Constitutionalists owe. the de sertion of the troops; but, he itas alrtamdy begup .to . receive the reward of his crime*, for after narrowly escaping being killed in Santarem, by the soldiers; after seing badly received by the Prince—he hits been, ordered to withdraw. to Peniche o Berlin gas.
