110LI14-QUIS AICtKY IALSUM'AUDIAT?

LONDON,

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1804.

A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, by which we
have received Pcirtagoese; Papers to the t with inst.
The following is the ,only article of importance which
they bring

.:ThsßoN, Pa .1.4„--:,tfuq. Government issuei on
the'.fth inst...The.following Proclamation :
," Just representationi have been made of an insult.
.offered int.-11461).4a' to , the Officers of the Navy
and -Army of his Britannic Majesty (to the Gover-
nors of the Kingdom), and ' tip individuals attached
,and belonging to the British Embassy in Portugal.

" The Governors of the. Kingdom ate perfeetly
aware that those scandalous ads proceed troth the
perfidious
_suggestions of the. enethies of. this Icing-
onyinced
.that the power and itrngtli
6f such a generous usefitl .Ally • oppose an
. . •
invincible •-•:,6l4tAcle to the alp:feint-it's project of
subduing .thg peninsulA, eudeavOur A.:Means
• their power to. destroy .the 'harmony = which so
for,turiately -subsists between Poriugat 'and Great"
Britain : they therefore ,think it right to
coua-
teraet' the tliabolical fIIC3BIIIS3 of.. -that •- heinous
plot, and accordingly declare,. the name of:
.•
his Royal. Highness the Prince' Ikcgent, our Lord, 1
that, they are•detenmined to punish, as di-sturbers ul.
the public peace, and enemies of the State, all such
person,s`as shall offer any °insult to ipctividuals be-
Jonging to the British Army;- who may he easily
.dis!.
tinguished by their Military uniform,- ofigfp.tfie'Ci-:
,vil Officers of the same army anti navy, or. fO--per_
sons attached to the said British Embassy, who, shalt,
be furnished with proper certificates; which. Will
ptove the service and emplyy they hold. ' •
• i•
The Governors of the kindzdom -are perrcaly:,
satisfied that all. true. Porttiguese area sensible' .iiov,;•
much- it is their duty to contribute to the preserva..
tion of the harmony which so'. Happily, subSists
between the two Powers, and that it' is only by
the union of their forces;• and by the 'poWerful'asli"
siihince of the British Ar,
pendence can, be asserted. They therefore hope that,;
they; on their- part,- will heartily coircur'itistafilnea.;' • i.
surd aS 't6nd to prei/ent *the ill-iriforrried, or seduced,,
from insulting: the: subjetas-of his Britannic Majesty-ii

firmness and wisdom has diSconcerted the plat)* of
the Tyrant of Europe,, and whol'lv 'means :91 his •
• ).
generous assistance, restored Us.to independence, -
saorificing'hisgallant troops in onr'cause. .

. .
" It is mean to' forget favour's'to. requite them
with insults ,is an atrocious Crime. He who Coln--
Mits them against an allied nation, offends against
public peaceendangers the public 'safety, and re-
%/Iles the national Charaoler ; a crime so heinous shall
not rennin unpunished ; the law and the Matis-
trates skill justly andseverely punish the ofii:nders.
"JUNO ANTONIO SATTER DE MENDOZA."

The DireCtor-General of the Police of Lisbon
jutted a' Decree, 911 the 6th inst. ordering allTrench-
'men, not naturalized, nor confined in prison on.ac-
corint of criminal offences, to quit that Capital in
-eight days. . •

j The substance of the information brought by the
Commerce from Villaviciosa we have already. stated.
The Dispatches to Government came from a Colo
Clatiot., who has'addressed -a 'spirited and impres-
sive Proclamation to the Asturians, but it is too long
for insertion. It says, •however; what must be.
Nighly gratifying to all whO take 'an inter9st • •,in the,
cause of. Spain, that he observed the zeal of the peo
r'ple in support of their; indepenciFnce, was prc.vilent•
alike " in lOfty palac'es and humble cottages----that
n•
L.DUO NA PA (ITS'S prDie6t conquering Spain is 4` no
less QuixottiC than unjust," and after expresiliog
his indignation against the French InVader,.becheera
Asturians twit li the hope that other countries will
throw off the yoke of hit tyranny, and assures them
that if they persevere, they will secure their own
freedom' and,rescue gurope from', his grasp. .

Another Vess'el has arrived at Greenock- from New
York, having broken the embargo.
,It was yesterday very currently reported, that In-
