THE BRIT t ciff PR SS•

We can assure the public that the sacred cause for
which we have declared has hero geneeally embraced
with rnthnsia•tn and unparalleled joy in the northern
Pun 'limes. In that of Minh° they have not pro-
claimed Don Jt;lin VI. King of Portugal by the
Constitution of the Cortes, but the whole military
force is atteady regulated and organized with Por-
tuguese Officers. Generals Blunt and Wilson have
conductud thenrselves with that circumspection
which ups to be t spectra from their principles,
tin it education, and their circumstances.

•rmy in the province of Minho is com-
manded by nojor-General Gaspar Tenure.
The brigade 9 and 11, and chasseurs 12, is com-
manded liy Antonio Lolw.
Joaquitet Tears Junta° commands the brigade
3 15 end rheiserurs .6, and the whole divis.ion is
under Major-General Antonio de Lacetdo Pinto da
Fonseca.

Dispatches received by the Supreme Junta con-
firm the above.

The first dispatch is from Aut. de 13arros, dated
from Ponto de Lints, 26111 August, and states that
the Constitution was proclaimed on the .oth with
great joy, in presence of the civil authorities, &e. but
that the ecclesiastical authorities declined attend-
ing, as they had 110 orders mull the Archbishop, but
they dill not make any opposition, all was done .in
the brst'order, and due respect paid to the foreign
officers,

The fecoatl dispech from Viana, 9.7 th August,
is of similar tenor. General Wilson retains his sett.
tine's, tie. The same respeet is shertu to General
llhint.

.........
The third dispatch from Braga. 20th August,
where the Proclamation appears to have been pro-
d:n:lßA with more solemnity, the authorities having
been called togtther by Vie Archbishop. Tran-
quillity every where prevails.
At Oporto, u piece suitable to the occasion was
ha►tily got up, and loudly applauded by the nu-
iiirraus spectator.. At the recital of seine verses
the *hole audience rove arid cried out, Long live
the immortal Spaniards, our iieit-.;hbours, who set
an example to us and to the whole world !"
The President of the Sup; eine Government raised
his voice sod announced the following virus:—
The King ! the Portuguese ! the Citizens of
Oporto! the Garrison of Oporto ! the generous
English Nation, from whom we have received bene-
fits deserving of gratitude, and which we will
punctually repay when required !
No language can expre:s the pleasure of the Por-
tuguese on this enchanting sight. Tears flowed front
every eye. Such is the public spirit of a city which
was always distinguished by its patriotism and its
loyalty.—(Uia►io Nacional. No. 11. ',opts, 28.)
At Oporto, on the 91st or August, the discount
on paper money bad Pullen to 24 per cent. The
Junta of the Supreme Provisional Government of
the kingdom had addressed the British Consul in
Oporto to assure him British subj,•cts and property
would be respected.

LONDON,
THURSDAY. SEPTENSIM 14, 1820.

We have Oporto Parrs of the 28th of August,
and letters from the same place dined the 91st.
The triumph of the Revolution was then complete
throughout the northern provinces, but no intelli-
gence had reached Oporto respecting the state of
affairs in Lisbon. It cannot be doubted that the
spirit of the army is decidedly favourable to the
net Constitution, for it seems that the Regency,
when apprised of the events which occurred in,
Oporto on the 24th, commanded Marshal Pan-
PLoNA to march against that city with a large body
of troops ; but the soldiers, on learning what load
happened, deserted their General, and many of
theta hastened to Oporto, where they joined the
standard of the Revolution. The troops stationed
in Tres los Monte., under the Conde de An ARANTE,
also declared for the Constitution, without the con-
currence of the General. They decided, it is said,
while he was deliberating.
In our extracts from the Oporto Papers will be
f dan official note, addressed by the President
of the Junta of Government to the Commander of

the armed force of the division of Oporto, express•
in terms the mart complimentary, the high
sense entertained by the 'Junta of the eminent ser-
vices rendered by the English Officers to Portugal,
and directing him to apprise them that they are to
hold then honour!, privileges, and distinctions., as well
as their pay, until the installation of the Cortes, and
that the gratitude of the country will then supply
theta with the means of residing in Portugal
with decency and convenience, if they should choose
to accept it. Besides this honourable testimony of
esteem and gratitude to the English Officers, the
President of the Government took occasion, in the
theatre of Oporto, publicly to proclaim the benefits
derived by Portugal from the exertions of Great
Britain, and the determination of the Portuguese
to repay them, if an opportunity should offer.
These circumstances evjaacc the anxiety of the con-
stitutional party to conciliate the kindly disposition
• of this country, and must at the same time relieve
the friends and relatives of the British Officers in
the service of Portugal from much anxiety respect•
ing their treatment.

_ Extract from a letter from Oporto, dated Au-
gust 31 :—" Hitherto we have not heard of the
slightest riot or confusion, and the people here at
least are as quiet as ever. The Conde DE ASiht
RANTE, inTros los !Moues, has not decided with the
party here, though it it said that some of his troops
have. The Provisional Government have laid
of all the pnblic money here, and the coffers are
said to have been very well supplied. No cmitribti-
tions have been talked of, or any expected to be
demanded. An older of the Government was mis-
understood, and an embargo was laid on all
slnpping ; it was, however, immediately taken oti:
The Government have written to the different Con-
suls, assuring them of the observance of existing,
Treaties, and that the change of Government will
Lot eau. any alterations in foreign relations ; we
therefore feel easy as to safety of property."

Paris Papers of 'Sunday last have arrived at our
office. Tlwy are silent respecting the recent revo-
lution in Portugal, although it is certain from pri-
vate letters which have readied town, that the event
was known in Paris on Sunday. It is possible that
the first intelligence of the declaration of the troops
at Oporto might •be considered in Paris as untrue,
and the Journals be in consequence prohibitid from
taking notice of the event, until the arrival of some
official intelligence.
The private examination of the persons implicated
in the conspiracy lately discovered in Paris still
continues. We hear of no Nailer arrests. An
angry and dangerous spirit, we fear, presails in the
capital, for we occasionally see accounts of quarrels
between private irttlividusls and the soldiers of the
KING'. guards, originating apparently in feelings of
political hostility. A lancer of the guards was, on
Friday last, se4ed suddenly by some persons whets
in the act of passing over one of the bridges, and
flung over the bodement into the Seine. The man
happily was saved.

breaits of Ministers, they cannot contemplate

Ofiowever deplorable the effect, it would be formate
'for the country were it confinid to our own shores.
This, however, is not the case ; the country is faller►
in the ►stimation of foreign nations. To her moral
character England owed her elevation, more !wt..
haps than to the energy of her acms. In France
' we are assured the preiteeding against the QUEEN
INN node a great sensation. In that country the
Bs►glirl► have been always considered a grave, se-
date, prudent, and reflecting people; but the
French can trace no pntdenee nor discretion in is
measure so eminently calculated to degrade Rey-
shy, at the very moment when the revolutionary.
'spirit is in full activity abroad, and the rliange of
' Governments proceeds with unexampled velocity.
At such a moment the throne esnisot divest_ifvelc
of the veneration of the subject with impunity, non
can its lustre be ta►nished without irnpairing its'
strength. Yet this is the moment chosen► by Mil
nesters to blazon the frailties of the Court, and de.
grade the Crown of England in the eyes of foreign
nations.

It will be teen that the proceedings which were
commenced at York sg,ainst several persons for
high treason have beet; suddenly mid unexpected-
ly closed, and that all the prisoners have pleadrd
upon the understanding that their lives
should be !pared, under the condition, we presume,
of perpetual banishment. Enough of blood has
been already shed to stone for the late violation of
the laws, and for the momentary ili-Aurbatice of the
public peace : it was therefore as wise as it was
humane in his MAJESTIrs Government to with-

draw the uplifted ►word from the unfortunate pri-
soners at York, end wive the feelings of the public
from being shocked by any further exhibitions, such
as it has been our melancholy duty lately to record.
The prisoners at York, to whom the royal mercy
has bred extended, are of the working chow of
society. As the caw for the pro,.erution has not
been opened, we are not aware of the nature or extent
of their guilt, but from the readiness with which
they embraced the offer of mercy, we are to pre-
*time that they entertained no hope of being ru.
bled on trial to eubstentiate their scence. We
are equally unaware of the motives which inclined
the Government to exercise on this occasion the
noblest branch of the Royal Prerogative, but we
will presume that in the evidence against these
poor labourers there appeared nothing to mark
any peculiar atrocity in their actions, and that they
felt the absurdity, if tint the cruelty, of exciting
the whole terrors of the law of high treason to crush
o few clay-labourers for an act of momentary mad-
ness, to which it is probable they were driven by
hunger, and which no man of sense can sem iously
assert could he attend. d with any danger to the
security of the Government. But whatever may be
the cause, the public, we are convinced, will receive
this inatauce of the Royal clemency with sincere
pleasure. Never does the !limier( h of a great
nation apPear with such advantage as at the moment
when he displays his power in acts of mercy, and
stoops from the majesty of the throne to edininister
comfort to any, even the most erring of his people.
