SOLEM QUIS DICERE F.ILSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1823.

The arrival of the Lisbon Mails at length en-
ables us to lay before our Readers details to the
10th instant, of the progress of the counter-revo-
lution in. Portugal, or rather of the consummation
of that important event, as far as respects the
complete subversion of the Constitution of 18".
What will be the system of Government which
is to be founded on its ruins is still matter of
conjecture. The general opinion seems to be, that
the KING will continue to reject absolute power,
and that he will give the Nation a Charter or
Constitution on the basis of a limited Monarchy
with the Legislative Chambers. But the Portu-
guese appear to be so eager to`place the yoke of
despotism on their own necks, that for our part
we think the KING will be rendered absolute in
spite of his own wishes (if his professions of mo-
deration be really sincere,) or at any rate
that Abe Constitution which may emanate from
him and his present Councillors will give to the
nation nothing more than the semblance of freedom.
In a short time this interesting problem must
be solved. We shall see whether the new Por-
tuguese code will permit the liberty of the press,
—in what manner and by whom it will direct
the Representative branch of the Legislature to
be elected,—and what functions it will assign to
that body. These will form the tests by which
alone it can be determined whether the Portu-
guese and

the sudden but not unexpected
change which has been effected by the trea-
cherous revolt of a corrupt soldiery, and the
base acquiescence of an ignorant people.

Letters were received yesterday from Oporto,
dated the sth instant, from which it appears that
intelligence having arrived there of the recent
proceedings in Lisbon,a similar scene took place
in Oporto, under the auspices of the armed
force, and the Constitutional Authoritie's were
removed. The following Act was then promul-
gated by the Council of the city of Oporto, de-
siring that a public thanksgiving and illumina-
tion should take place in consequence-id" the
Counter-Revolution :---

" The Judges and Members of the Council of the Most flue-
trios Municipality of the City of Oporto, on the part of his
Sovereign Majesty, whom God protect, Bz.e. &c.
" We make known to all the respected inhabitants of this
city, that in consequence of the happy (and by them anxiously
desired) event of the re-establishment of the happy Government
of our Lord the King, and the restoration_pf his sovereign
authority, and of those legitimate rights of which he and iiis
august and virtuous consort had been perfidiously despoiled,
we have determined to render the Almighty those thanks which
are due to him for this incomparable blessing, on the evening
of Sunday the Bth of the present month, in the Holy Cathedral
of this city.
" And this Illustrious Municipality, desiring at the same
time that this Act should be solemnized,with all possible pomp,
and with every demonstration of public rejoicing, requests that
the inhabitants of the city will assist at the solemnity, and that
on the nights of the sth,_ Gth, ith, and ;WI, they will cause their
houses to be illuminated.
" This Illustrious Municipality, greatly delighted at this
occasion of addressing the loyal inhabitants of the heroic city
of Oporto, offers them its most cordial congratulations on the
present happy event.

The annexed oath was afterwards administered
to those who attended the assembly at which
this resolution passed :
" I swesr to defend, and cause to be defended, the rights of
our Absolute King, those of our Lady the Queen, and the
whole dynasty of the Royal !louse of Braganza. '

We have inserted, under the usual head, 6X...
tracts from the Paris Papers of Friday, and some
further articles from those of Thursday. The
accounts which they contain from Spain, state tint
the deposed King slept on the 12th (the first
night of his journey), at Utreva,—on the 13th at
Xeres,—and that he arrived early on the 14th ►t
Cadiz, which is said to contain a garrison of
fif-
teen thousand men. General BOURDESOULT, Wit/
was on his march for Seville, changed his rouie
immediately on learning the forcible removal of
the King, and directing his march upon Cadiz, and
arrived at Port St. Marys, within two leagues

of that city, on the 21st.
The following account of a demonstration
made by the garrison of St. Sebastian, is ex-
trated from the Quotidienne
