vernrnent. The British Army had relieved the
(ountry from rapacity, oppression, and every spe-
cies of despotic arrogance ang cruelty. To the Bri-
tish, thereldre, the Portdguese had reason to look
with admiration and gratitude. The Proclamation
previously issued by,Sir Haw DALRYMPLE, import-
ed, that' measures were then in agitation for com-
pletely restoring those .persons. to the Govern-'
meat of Portugal to whom the Prince Regent
had delegated his powers, when, under the pro-
te6ljon of this Country, he flew from a horde of.
French miscreants, the instruments -of a Tyrant
who had told the world that " the House of BRA-
GAI,I4S. hud ceased to reign." But till the Portu-
guese Government was fully reinstated, it wag neces-
sary to suppress all popular excesses, and to put an
end.to those notiurnal. murders, which were dis-
graceful to a people, and tended to reduce them to
the same state of brutality with the monsters from
whom, they bad been rescued. Such were the
reasons upon which the Proclamation of Gene-
ral HOPE was founded—a ProclaMation which
we repeat that we have the strongest grounds, for
believing-was adopted ,with the concurrence, if npt
expressly at the desire, of the persons to whom
the PRINCE REGENT had consigned the Government
of the Country. But the Opposition Print returns
to the charge this day, and says, that it should have
been left " to the injured, indignant, and loyal. G-
eneral FREIRE D'ANDRADE," to secure the peace of
the Capital, if the Civil Power had been inade-
quate. To which we answer, that there can
be no doubt, except in those•besotted with party
spirit, that " the injured, indignant, and loyal
FREIRE D'ANDRALIE," was one of the-
very per-
sons who advised the Proclamation in question, and
that he manifested his right to the last epithet by his
willingness to let that Power which had effe&ed the
deliverance of Portugal, preserve its tranquillity, till
the regular Governinent itionld be restored, and ren-
dered capable of maintaining itself. The Paper we
allude to, concludes its libel upon out troops in Lis-
bon and General HoFE, by asking " who it is that
most endeavours to alienate the minds, and inflame
the passions of the Portuguese ?" A .question very
soon answered :—Why, the discontented and fadious
men in this COuntrY, who misrepresnt the conduct
of those, British troops who, by their valour, have
released a loyal people from -the most rapacious and
cruel monsters that ever disturbed the earth, and
who, while the Portuguese themselves are fully sen-
sible of the blessings which they have received troll)
our Army, tell tile Portuguese chat we insult
crather
than protect them and who every day endeavour
to convert their gratitude into hostility. Such are
the men who "'most endeavour to alienate the Minds
and inflame the passions of the Portuguese ;" and
we are shocked that such men can be round among
the natives of this Coontry.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Av-
Gy STA and AMELIA, accompanied by Lord WAL-
SINIGHAM, Lady G. _MURRAY, COMM MUNSTER, Ge-
n:ral FlTzttoy, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in Wind-
sor Park, and returned to the Palace at noon.

A letter from Trinidad, dated Auguit '2, states,
is a great alteration in the ounnunicatioas,
awitht theretie
adjacent Continent. The Spanish was
tl
cowing' in, and taking away goods. The ves-
sels brought ovef provisions, cattle, and mules, in
exchange.

The Wins from Malta and Gibraltar mention,
that.gre4 discontents eNist in Italy, and that Sir
JOHN STUART was preparing to embark on an .ex-
pdition
.with 10,000 troops, destined, it is supposed,
to mike a descent on the coast of Naples. Most of
the French corps which were in that country have
'been Matched to Spain, and the present crisis cer-
tainly affords a favourable opportunity for the deli-
verance of the Neapolitans from the odious yoke
which has been impysed upon them.
The Garrisons of IVlalta and Gibraltar were well
and in high spirits, at the end of last mouth.
Private letters from Lisbon, dated the Ist instant,
state, that transpoits had been cotleded in the
Tagus, capable of containing 20,000 British troops,
the embarkation of whom was proceeding with me
greatest activity. It is reported that this force is to
land in the neighbourhood of Barcelona.
