positive 111/1111Cf, that in one oldie Sitting* of die Coum;il held
to.day in tile piesente of the King, the Conti: des Areas spoke in
favour of the new order of things in Portugal. and expressed his
opinion wit,. great ii•mness. He said it was 'ii4hly important.
and at the sante time conformable with the dignity of hie cowls
to adopt the constitutional system, not only for Portugal but also
fur Brazils, where the spirit a liberty was making a raptd
progress.
" The Ministers, Villa Novo and Targini, replied to the
Count, and endeavoured to prove that the ptineitnes which he
had just laid down, were very contrary to the true principles of
Monarchy. They say. that tlie mesons adduced by the l mat
des Areas in favour u. the constitutional system, made a great
imiiresslon on the mind of the Kong, whose gootmelia and love of
justice ate wall knot% uto 41 his subject.. It is affirmed. that
