(No. 2.)
The undersigned Seeretnry to the Regency of the Kingdom
for the Feereige Affairs, has made known to the said Re.
gooey Chevalier Luthario de Berk's. note, lorersng date of yea-
terday. The object of it caused the greatest grief to the
Regency, spot only on nrcnout of the disagreeable event itself,
but because of the light in which Mr de Reek■ wishes to
cementer as so hook, expressly directed to his.., what was 144.
mere erect of popular consasolino. *floe complaint of a want
of motel:lion un she part of the public authorities to have doe
respect paid to the habitation of Mr. de B. rks appears Not
to be well fousieled, some she Regency, anxioudy wishing to
maintain the public 'celerity, and to prevent any thing that
might cause elseeoulest to the agents of foreign emboss by
providing against the possibility of some popular act that
might perturb it, not only ordered she police to double its
vi g Ocoee on these evenings, bet ordered beside., that f ontieg
the halsitatiou of every foreign agent a strong patrol shoed.' be
mooted, specially chaegml with keeping t►e said habstheteseon
free from inns'', which had the denied effect as to the bolsi.
ta !ion+ of the other foreign agents: for none of them so ffesed
the least instill, and only that of Mr. de Reeks suffered don
amens of the commander of the patrol misunderstanding
the meter; for, instead of remaining stationed at that post, he
thonght it his duly to patrol all the street, and fur that
reason, when be was at the 'airmail, contrary no that in
whirls is the dwelling of Mr. de Berko, that disagreeable
event look place. The orders were giver—the commander
of the police exeented them, as Is is proved by kis order of
she 28th, already known 1.. Mr. de Redo; for be 'hewed it
to him on the morning of the 295 h, going epusitansonsly to
give him satirfaction for what had happened. as well as to
declare to him that the said cominauder of the patrol was
already arrested, in order tu be punished as he deserved for
his waist of care; by which it is perceived that the only per.
son guilty was the said command. -r, and that all the other
asithorities performed what the undersigned bad promised
to Mr. de Berke on behalf of the Regency in his note of the
31st March.
Besiii a, it is not Derange that on an WeCagioll ago general
and joist delight tone. Portuguese nation, aa their Mouarch's
armsueseenee in the cause of the same nation, the people
►leossld wish to see all the buildings illuminated, and Best
moue usiqesiet ;midis, exalted by the very satisfactions, should
fall itiso excess. es it happened not only wills respert to the
habitation of Mr. de Herbs, lout also by the breaking of the
windows of other house►, whether on arrouut of their toot be-
ing illuminated, or by reason of being only partially so: seen
the windows of the house inhabited by one of the Members
of the Regency were broken, un account of a window being
accidentally left without illuminstiou. Now as it is evident,
Thal the mob did not iotend to insult that mens. rof the
Recency, who the very same slay received equal applauars:
with the others ; and that the insult was offered at the
house not illmnitieted, without knowiseg who lived in i 1 ; it
is moonily clear that it was nut Mr. de Berk, personally
whom the people intended to lomat, as se prio ate imelovidual,
■od moth has a. (wrist* emit, for she repiel. tire of Mr de
Berk. could not be ihstineindied from that of another, not
haring on the outside arms to make it known as the resin
desire of n foreign agent.
Aft. r .11 this related, the undersigned expects that Mr. de
Rerka will agree that the Regency 1111 their side have done all
!tint was possible to give oafish...tons to Mr. de Berke, mid to
dissipate his resentment; sod, therefore, that Mr. de Berk.
will coneider this disagreeable evelit only as the effect of
popular enthusiasm, of which there are continued examples
in other countries, psrticnlarly in England, where on less
critical occasions, and for less reasons, the people commit
offeuees, without the foreigners, that accidentally
