tukeett' of every thing which has taken place between the Por-
tegueseend French Governments ; and as the Emperor of the
Freitag has sot only invaded Portugal, and laid that country un-
der the most dreadful, and almost incredible, contributions,. un-
der the cloak of friendship, hut has also long ago withdrawn his
Reshassy from his Royal Highness's Court, and even caused Por-
merchant ships to be seized which were io bit ports,
tsgeese any previous declaration of war, and contrary to an ex-
press article of the Treaty of Neutrality, front which he derived
the greatest advantages, and lastly declared war against hitu, ac-
cording to the report of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. His
Royal Highness after having resigned his cause into the hands of.
the Almighty, whom he has every right to invoke in so just a
cause, thinks it due to his rank, and to the dignity of his Crown,
to make the following declaration :-....
" His Royal Higitness breaks -off all communication !fit .1
. France, recalls all the Members of his Embassy, if any s 1

land against the subjects of the Emperor of the French. H
Royal Highness declares null and void all the treaties which the
Emperor of the French has compelled him to conclude, and. in
particular those of Badajoz and Madrid in 1801, and that neu-
trality in 1404, because she has violated and Dever respected
them: hit Ft(k3i highness will not lay dawn his arms unless 14
