Government have received accounts from Portu-
gal, which direalicontradiet the Reports which have
been so industriously circulated in this Country, of
dlfferences subsisting between the different Pro.
vinces, and of disturbances in that Country. 'We
can assure our Readers that the most perfea tran-
quility prevails in Portugal, and that . the utmost
h4rrnony exists between the Portuguese Govern-
ment and the British Commanders.

THE Public Prints which took so a&ive a part in
discussing the policy Of the Convention of Cintra,
or rather in condemning it in the bitterest terms,
bcfore it was possible to form any judgment on the
sebjea, are now as a6live in throwing upon each
other the odium of having attacked the persons who
were concerned in framing that Convention. For
• this purpose, some of these Prints are taking ex-
tra&s from others; in order to demonstrate the gross
i 'justice and rancorous personality of their competi-
tom It is, however, very probable that the Public
Prints, thus condemned by their own words, might
retort the charge with equal truth, and cite passages
from their respective opponents, fully as strong as
those which have been revived against themselves.
We o,all leave the several combatants to fight their
own battles, and persevere in the course which we
have uniformly adopted, of wai'titig the result of that
Inquiry which has been committed to men fully
competent to decide, and whose determination must
necessarily be characterized by the most scrupulous
regard to justice and to truth. We maybe assured
that no unnecessary- delay -will take place in thein-
vestigation ; and howevar disappointed the hopes
and expeaations of the people may have been, no
man who has the least regard to justice and to,
truth, and who has a - due sense of the na-
tional charaaer, would wish to precipitate mea-
sures. As .to the competency of the Tribunal
which has been instituted .for. this examination,
Snd which has given so much occasion for the
c:linnors of party, we believe it can only be doubt-
ed by those who are apprehensive of the event.
We have before observed, that a Court of Inquiry
has a greater latitede than a Court Martial, and it,
under the comprehensive range'of the former, any
'circumstances should appear that will warrant a
Court-Martial, the Piaklic know that a Court-
Martial will be the inevitable result. We are
the more, disposed to approve of the previous
investigation of the Court of Inquiry, because
there will be nothing concealed. Sir HEW DAL-
LYmPLE expressly said, that he was glad his condua
would be tried by such a Court, because he was sure
that he should have an ample opportunity of bring-
ing forward every thing that might be necessary to
stew his condua in 'the fullesi light. We shall,
therefore, maintain the same spirit of candour and
consistency which we have before adopted, and
whic!) we have abundant reason to believe has been
s iisfaaory to our Readers, in attending patiently
the progress of Inquiry, and not giving way to cen-
mtt till we can do so upon the clearest, fullest, and
most substantial grounds, Such conduEt is diaated
by reason, and by every feeling honourable to the
human heart. A condua of a different kind must
proceed from some narrow, selfish, personal conside-
rations, or must be direaed by that party-spirit which
has unhappily been too manifest in all the discus-
&aim which have hitherto taken place on this inte-
r-sting subject, which obviously accompanies the !
progress of the investigation, and which is likely
to attend the result, however satisfaCtory that result
may be to the ends Qf justice, and conformable to
the opinion of all honest and impartial men.

Dr. Mit.Nea has.at length published his eiplana,
tion respeaing the proposition made in the name
of the C3tholics, in the last Session of Parliament.
We shall take the earliest opportuOity of submitting
to our Readers son observations,npon it.
