PROCLAMATION.

" 'Portitgneee t The terrible crinee of rebellion against the
rower and legitimate authority of our *menet Sovereign the
1i414 our Master, has just been committed in the et!), of
Oporto. A few ill-intentioned individuate, deceiving the
ofreers of the corps of troops in that city, were unhappily
n'ale to induce them, covering themselves with opprobrium,
to violate, on the Roth of this month, the oath of fidelity to
t:,eir King, tool to their colonels; and to dare to constitute,
or their own authority in that city, a Government, to which.
t.:zy gave the name of the Supreme Government of the
bregetem.
" The wretches who contrived this c tnspiracy well knew
thautlify could not mislead Portuguese hearts, but by con.
1 crating from them, under the appearance clan illusory oath
of love awl fidelity to the Sovereign, the tremendous step
wheels they made them take towsrds the abyss of revolution,
one coneetrtnees of which may be the subversion of the
Iteurerchy, and the puttied ion of a tiliiill3, always jealous of
iudeptodence, to the ignomy of a foreign yoke.
" Do not theu he deluded, faithful and valiant Pothe-
r-ewe, Ly such appearances; it is an evkitent contradiction
'.en the revolted, protesting obedience to the King our
sovereign, while they withdraw themselves from the autlio•
r :y of the Government lawfully established by his Majesty,
propose, as the intruders (feesueos) dectare, to constitute
steernselres milky the title of Super me Government of the
k. ogdum, to coaroke Cortes, whirls would be always illegal if
out called by the Sovereign, and announce changes arid
inierations which they ought to--content themselves with
soli( iting, beceast they cannot emanate in a legitimate and
perr anent manner except by the Royal consent.

tstions, the object •f which is the good and the prosperity of

We hove received accounts from the Barbary
coast of the 10th July, which state that a taro-t
dreadful insurrection had broke out in the sit* of
the Emperor of Morocco, and that one of the regi-
meats of the Guards having received order, to escort
that Sovereign from Ruhat to Morocco refused to
obey,and,roarching to Fen, committed there the
greatest excesses. plundering and murdering all
the inhabitants, especially the Jeers. They after-
wards marched against Tetuan, bat the inhabitants
being informed of their improirth prepared to defend
themselves, and compelled them to retreat. The
Emperor arrived at Morracco with the few troops
who remained faithful •to him. but he had not taken
any measure whatever to reduce the rebels to obi:.
thence.
These Recounts had thrown the whole country
into consternation. and entirely prohibited com-
merce of every kind. The Patriotic Society of.
Oviedo have received. from one of its members at
Liabor4 a communication containing the names of
the members of the Apostolic Junta, established at
Fauna de Minn, under the direction of General
Wilson, ordered to be taken by the Portuguese
Government, in consequence of the disproitiona of
the Spani►h Government. They are—
Don Manuel Chanire, Caecia of Santiago, Director of
the Hospital; a Dominican Friar; a Franciscan Friar; bon
Santiago Gramia Blanco, Canon hector of the Uoiverelty
of flaistiago; the Vicar of St. Giffin* de Beeler; Don
Manuel Maria Aballe de Fig; Don Roque Maria llowittere;
the Wiese of San %/leant. de Beyer; the Physieiaa Don
Joan Ramos Semis (called Dann of San Townie); Dos
Tames !Memo Cicero'', Captain of Militia at Tay.
This appears to be the fist which eirculltes at
Lisbon. A proposition has been presented to the
Cortes, by Senor Moreno Guerra, to change the
inscription on the current coin of the kingdom, and
to place on it the mine of the constitutionlL King,
Fernandus VII. 'lei Gratiu d Constitutione
Monarchic !" and on the reverse, •• Hispoaiarxar
Net." The Committee for the Affairs relative to
the War Department announced to the Cdrtei
that in the memorial presented by the Minister of
War, there was no mention whatever Of the thiee
regiments of Swiss which form a part of the armed
force of the kingdom, and that supposing this
may be in consequence of some operations carrying
on in that department for the organisation of the
army. the Committee is of opinion the Cortes
should be requested to communicate them to the
Committee, that it may complete its information
on the subject. Approved—(ii Miscellimea,4ll.

The House of Lords adjourned on Saturday until
Tuesday, the 3d of October. Mr. Baouattsw
will then enter upon the case for her MsaitsTY's
defence.
It will be remembered that on Friday last the
House of Lords refused to accede to the requests
which Mr. BROUGHAM successively made; that he
slimed be allowed to make his statement for the de-
fruit., and not be under the necessity of imme-
diately calling his witnesses, or that he should be
allowed to continent upon the endence adduced for
the prosecution. without touching upon the evi-
dence which he might subseqiiently think proper to
bring forward. These prOpo,itions being severally
considered sod rejected, the House adjourned On
Friday, With the understanding that on the following
rooming the Counsel for the QUERN would submit
for the consideration of their Lo•dahips some further
suggestion relative to the mode of conducting the
d.fence. Mr. BaounsAm had in the meats time

the Flouse that he should proceed to the defence
within the shortest possible space of time, fur that
