The object of the Proprietors is to put the British Commu-
nity in possession of faithful Portraits and Characters of the
principal l't•rronages of the. ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE OF
BRUNSWICK ; but as their 103-al intentions cannot be accom-
plished with their confined resonrces, they have resolved, though
still abandoning all idea of profit, to charge Sixpence for each
impression, to those who become Subscribers or purchase the
National Register. Immediate orders should be sent to the
Office, No. 11, Catherine-stre:q, Strand, or given to the News-
men, Booksellers, or Clerks of the Roads, so that the Proprietors
may he able to estimate the number of impressious likely to be
wanted.

This Series will form a Set of Pictures of the Illustrious
House of Brunswick, worthy the Drawing Room or the Ca-
binet, and will render the National Register particularly va-
luable, as presenting the only complete and authen;i:: Collection
of Portraits of the Royal Family extant, the Original Paintings
having been lent by some of the Princesses to the Proprietors for
their use alone. A few proof imprevvions on India paper may he

POLITIC4L EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

We received yesterday Lisbon Papers to the 29tfi
ultimo. Their contents arc interesting. The retreat of
the British and Spanish armies was known there; 'and an
invasion from the French was consequently expected ; but
the inhabitants appear to be animated with a firm resolu-
tion to oppose the most vigorous resistance. AU the pro-
vinces were arming for that purpose; and the enthusiasm
of the inhabitants was so great, that the single province of
Beisa had already collected an armed force of more than
70,000 men: viz. 30,975 fusiieers ; 39,803 pikemen, and
118 cavalry. The fortified places on the frontiers were
put in a respectable state of defence, and were amply sup-
plied with warlike stores and provisions. This generoul
resolution of defending their country is not confined to any
particular district; but appears to be adopted by the whole
nation. The cities of Oporto and Lisbon give a praise-
worthy example to the rest of the kingdom, and every
effort was made to render the positions in the neighbour-
hood of the capital as formidable as possible; for which
purpose 70 pieces of cannon had been taken from the
arsenal, to be mounted on the most important points of
defence. No mention is made of the British fume under
Sir JoaN CRADDOCK ; but we trust our troops will not
abandon the country as long as the Portuguese manifest a
resolution of defending themselves.

The Regency have published a most animated proclama-
tion addressed to the Portuguese people. They do not
conceal the dangers to which the
.country is exposed, nor
the talents, vigour, and rapidity of the enemy. This spi-
rited appeal to the feelings and honour of the nation Thus
concludes:—Portuguese be soldiers, " repulse the Satei-
•' lites of the tyrant, who, in common with the tyg-er, can
never be satiated with blood and courage. Be deaf to the
" intimations of corrupt emissaries, who endeavovred,to
" unnerve your energy, and diffuse terr.;r_ and distrust.
6 4 Valour and fidelity form the distinctive character of the
"Portuguese. Dy your fidelity you have preserved, since the
