I.MION, SEPT. 24
Considering that Ili disposed persons have latterly endeavoured
to d slarb the tranqui.lity of the capital, and grossly to deceive the

accounts which they spread :Mead, by means of blind persons and
born. who go about the streets selling. periodicals and printed
papers, whom they cause to cry what is intact suitable to their
wit k d intentions, and to announce false and alarming tuns, which
ars nOt to be found in the printed papers which they. sell. carrying
their bolting= to the criminal excess of spreading in this manner
the n ost ate&cious calumnies against persons of the highest rank,
to whom they attribute acts and documents contrary to the fidelity
erli'cis we all owe to oar legitimate King, my august brother, Pon
Pedro IV., and still more contrary to the pure sentiment of honour
a al probity which always animated all the august members of the
Royal Family of Portugal, to put a stop at once to such serious evils.
rodto prevent the responsibility of the editors, authors. printers, and
✓ets of such printed papers from being in this manner evaded, I
vssisiorially miler, in the King's name, as follows :
i. persons shall cry newspapers, periodicals, or any oilier
..::e3 papers, of any kind whatsoever, in tire squares, streets, or
ay.? ether public places, without a license given to Lisbon by the
Intendant• General of the Police. and in the zest of the kingdom by
his delegates.

Wty, psmiessing real property or some commercial or manufacturing
estai,lishment of their own.

S. Those who shall he found crying printed papers, &c., in
die streets, &e., without the license mentioned in Article I, shall
be arre,ted, tried, and punished, as disturbers of the public tran.
qudlitv.
•. Those who hate such a license, but who shall abuse it. to
anrounce alarming news, proclaim seditious papers, or publish
caiumnies, or to give notices any way criminal, shall be arrested
and kept in prison till it is seen that what they proclaim is con-
fr.-usable to the contents of the papers which they cry, and till the
author or editor of the paper is given up, that he may answer for it.
'llse officers of justice and military patioles are ordered to arrest all
those whom they find openly trangressing the regulations of this
Decree.
