LONDON. THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1821.

We understand that it has been determined by his Ma-
i jesty's Government to accede to the request of the King
of Portugal, for military aid during the disbanthncnt of
the licentious army, by which the tranquillity of Portugal
has been so often disturbed. Several transports have been
actually engaged for the conveyance of the troops. and the
expectation that others will be required has caused an ad
ranee of the taws of register. It appears that this course;
will be taken with the entire approbation of the Allied Go-
VClTlments on the Continent. We shall, therefore, run no
risk of embroiling ourselves in any quarrel in consequence
of this measure, which our interests, not less than the ex-
igeocies of our ancient Ally, require. The condition of
his Most Faithful _Majesty for many months has been most
perilous. The intrigues of the Queen, and the ungover- I
nable violence of Don Miguel, each prompted by a party
who aim at rendering Portugal what that country was a!
century ago, have left the King no alternative but that of
calling upon the British Government for their assistance,
while lie can reorganise the political system of his king-
dein. We have already remarked the wide difference be-,
titeen this interfesenee on our part, and the invasions of
Spain and Naples by the Allies. Every case of this kind
resist be derided by its own rcculior welts. If John Vk

I were resisting the demands of his rtople for such ame-
lioratiolis of the Govemmeut of Portugal as the state
of pablic opinion and the circumstances of the country 11
called for, we should most unhesitatingly condemn any
interference ; or if, contrary to the general sense and 11
feeling of the age, he was endeavouring to force changes
which were repugnant to the common welfare of cis
vilised Europe, we should equally feel disinclined to
favour his designs. But the conduct of the Portuguese
Monarch, throughout the political revolutions which
have agitated his kingdom, has manifested a sincere
disposition to consult the interests and follow the wishes of
the great hotly of his most intelligent subjects. If he is
thwarted in this beneve.!ent purpose by an abandoned
soldiery, who, on every alteration of their fickle humours,
will snatch the sceptre from his hands, and menace his
personal safety by the assassination of his private friends
(the Marquis de Loulle, for example.)—if, surrounded by a
new set of Pretorian bamls, be finds neither his throne nor
his life secure, and is driven to ask for that assistance
from without which his people cannot, however willing,
give him from within, what opinion would he form of our
friendship, if, under pretence that our conduct would be
liable to misconstruction, we should refuse to grant him
the aid he solicits ? But supposing every generous sen-
timent extinct on the part of the British Govern-
ment, would not obvions motives of policy induce us
to accede to the request ? The applications of his
most Faithful Majesty have been 'repeated, each in-
creasing in urgency, and the last intimating that if we
declined to comply with-them another Power would readily
furnish the assistance required. it, ifrould be useless to at-
tempt to disguise the fact, that this other Power is France.
She is already in military occupation of Spain. Shall she
have the whole Peninsula? Shall Lisbon fall into her
possession, because we will not enable the King of Portugal
to suppress the stratocracy which one day dictates to him a
Constitution anti the next a despotism ? If we had refused
aid ourselves, could we have objected to the King's obtain-
ing it elsewhere? The only course that remained for us
was to consent, and in that act to show the world that in
moments of distress and danger we were not disposed to
shelter ourselves under a selfish policy, and shrink from the
hazard of succouring an ally who was constant and unfail-
ing through all the vicissitudes of the we: • Let us in a
more enlarged view, as well-wishers 10 the human race,
consider for what purposes this aid is to be given. The
King of Portugal is now controlled and embarrassed by a
military force which overawes his authority. This
force has instituted and subverted a Constitutional Go-
vernment, and at present appears to direct its views without
any veil to the absolute possession of all the powers of
government. The people bare dared to take no part in
the mutinous proceedings of this body. All Is in sub-
jection to it, excepting only in so far as it is influenced by
the apprehension it feels for the general judgment of the
European Cabinets, the firmness of whose representatives
alone very lately rescued the King from its treasonable
hands. If no foreign government were to interfere, the
Portuguese army would soon degenerate into a military
faction, resembling the Turkish Janissaries. Every at-
tempt on the part of either the King or people would be
ineffectual to withdraw from their yoke. The state of
Portugal cannot settle into peace; nor can the institutions
suitable to the wants of the people be established, until
this hydra be destroyed. The blessings of future genera-
tions of the Portuguese, more happy, we trust, than their
ancestors, will follow the politic and humane decision of
his Majesty's Milliners.

The advice" from yadrid, trio Bayonne, received last
night, are interesting. The recent disasters in Peru are
ikarown at Cadiz, and have,,as we apprehended, Inspired
afresh the hopes of subjugating the Colonies. The object
of the Great Council of Ministers and Ambassadors is
, stated to have been to discuss the political state of Portu-
gal. Ferdinand is reported to have declared that he never
would recognise the Portuguese Cones ; and that if the
Allies required him to follow the example of the King of
Portugal, he would renounce his crown, and retire to an
asylum in France as a private imlividual. He found it
Ignite practicable to live under the Constitutional system,
and wrote letters with his own hand to attest the satisfaction
he felt in having his prerogative limited. The
therefore, if they were inclined to insist on the restoration
of the Spanish Cortes, need not despair that Ferdinand
would, upon trial, reconcile himself to the unpleasant
check, as he did to his prison at Va!rneey, from which he'
refused to escape when invited by Baron Kolli, whom he
betrayed to Bonaparte for his pains. It is observed in
these advice', that Sir William A'Court was not present at
the Council, and that the reports gain ground that the Holy
Alliance has hostile intentions towards England. Tnar
they are much dissatisfied with us for avoiding to entangle
ourselves in thcir continental disputes, we have no doubt;
but we have many reasoits fbi disbelieving that their feel-
ings will be manifested in any overt act of a hostile
nature.

BAYONNE, JUNE 29.

We have letters from Madrid of the 24th June. The Minister
of Pistiee has communicated to the Royal Council the King's
Decree, which contains the regulations by which passports can-
not, in any case, be refused to persons included in the amnesty,
unless it be for Madrid or the Royal residence ; for In this case
a special permission from his 3litjesty is necessary.
A long article, dated from Cadiz, gives details respecting the
present situation of affairs in Peru. If these accounts are true,
they are very satisfactory fnr the Mother Country, but many per-
sons suspect their authenticity.

The French Garden du Corps, who, it seems, will finally depart
on the 29th, paraded on the rwil.btfore the ling and Court.
Some persons that tbd scan Council, Id on Sunday, the
21st, was to discuss the affairs of Portugal, and that the King for-
' mally declared that he never would recognite the Cortes, which
have just been re-established in Portugal. That, for his part,
he would either be an absolute Sortreign, or a mere private in.
dividu.l. That if the Holy Alliance required him to follow the
example of the King of Portugal, he would resign the crown, and
come and auk an asylum in France. Other persons say, that the
object of the Council was, to acquaint the Foreign Ambusad)rs
with the despetate situation of America.
The reports that the Holy Alliance has hostile intentions to-
wards I:ngland gain ground.
Sir William A'Court was not present at the lut Council. As
for the Ambass..dor of the United States, he has long since cooed
to take sny pan in the deliberations of the Ambassador's! the
Iloly Alliance.
The. Apostolic Junta is more active than ever.

Our letters say rc,thing of the eon piracy which was reported to
have been ilkcovered and prevented by the French. It seams to
have been an unfounded rumour.

By the following extracts from the Atl4-aneine Zeiting, it
will be seen that, as we suspected. the Viceroy of Egypt
has withheld his contingent of troops from the Porte, and
it is not expreted that he will send any force to act against
the Greeks. The reliance of the Divan is, therefore, now
,thrown entirely upon the expedition of the Capitan Pacha,
which was to be reinfereed by several bodies horn diTercnt
quarters. Many of these barbarians have made a vow to
spare the life of no Ortek. The military pn•paratioos of
