our Government will, if possible, remain neutral;

as a measure of precaution,
will be promPtlY

(Supplement to the Diario do Governg, of Feb. 28.)
A second supplement to the same number, givei various
communications from Braga, %lane, Oporto, &c. containing
proclamations and Orders of the civil ana military authorities,
and statements affirming the affair to be of no importance, and
the inhabitants of Oporto, and the rest of the country to be per-
fectly devoted to the Constitution.
LISBON, FEB. 28.--official information having reached the
Government, which gave reason to apprehend what has since
happened, orders were sent to the judicial authorities at
Oporto to take the most energetic measures against any
who should disturb public tranquillity, and propagate doctrines
contrary to the Constitutional system.
Since the event is known, more particular and pressing in-
structiuns have been sent to the military and civil authorities.

lEztractif a Letter from the Agents'to Lloyds', at Marseille:,
dated March 4.]

".The Junon French frigate, of 44 guns, ar-
rived here yesterday. from Toulon, for the purpose of conveying
the French trade through the Straits, and sailed this morning
with the following vessels, viz.: Trois Cousins, Jean Baptiste,
and Victorie, for Martinique; Minerve, for Bayonne; Eugene,
for Brest; Airnable, and Adelaide, for St. Valery ; Achille, for
Dunkirk; and Neptune, for Orandeville."

FIRE AT CANTON.—We are sorry to state
thit intelligence was received at the East India
House this day of an immense destruction by fire,
in which some thousands of houses were con-
sumed, and property belonging to the Honour.
able East India Company to the supposed
amount of at least half a million sterling.
The above intelligence was brought by the'
Company's chip Berwickshire. The whole of the
Company's Factory, it appears, is destroyed, but
whether by design or accident is not stated.

Tt has become in some degree necessary to the

Public interests to state, that a respectable Even-

ing Paper, which has been considered as demi-
, official, does not speak the sentiments of Ministers
on the Spanish question. Tho politics Eof the
Journal in question are so entirely French, and
are so utterly at variance with the best under-
stood interests of Great Britain, and with the
Avowed policy of Ministers, that it would be
more reasonable to regard it as the organ of the
French Ultras, 'than as being in any way con-
nected with the English Cabinet, some of the
Members of which we are assured; are them.:
selves surprised at the line of conduct which the
Journal in question has recently pursued.

'Fire K ING.—( Brighton, March 11.)—We are
rvjoiced to state that the favourable symptoms,
which we yesterday particularized, were in no
wise deceptive, and that they have been amply
confirmed to-clay. The KING passed a quiet and
(refreshing night, and the pain in, the affected
hand and wrist has subsided. His MAJESTY has
continued easy ail day; and his geneal health,
with excellent spirits, is every way good.

Tuesday the Duke of YORK held his first Mili-
tary Levee since his long and severe indisposi-
tion, at the Commander-in-Cider's Office which

,It was yesterday afternoon confidently stated
in, the House of Lords, that a Government ex-
Press had arrived, bringing intelligence from
Paris of a very alarming nature. We are, +ow-
ever, enabled to state, not only . that no such
exPreSS was received, but that no intelligence
whatever from France reached Government in
the course of-yesterday.--(liforning Post.)
Yesterday the Rake of YORK received a visit
