The proposal was consequently rejected, and, instead of it,
thanks were voted to the Constitutional Municipality of the
City, the Commercial 'Volunteers, National Guards, Militia,anti People of Lisboni!for the firm and steady conduct they had
evinced
The lid OtJtme was passed- in a species of apathy bordering
en disgust and despair, and in the evening it was known with
certainty that on the following morning the troops would re..
enter the city. In the morningof the 4th, they entered with'
all the insolence pf rebel soldiers who had gained a signal
triumph. In no place, however, did they anew' to much inso.
lence as in. the Castle, .when they went to relieve the Com.
menial Volunteers, who were doing duty,. which they hail
abandoned. They insultingly tore from diem the national
cockade, and made them file off before them, as if they had
been prisoners marching out of a place taken by assault. The
rebel soldiers entered with olive branches on their caps ; but
they belied the sentiments of Ewe which they announced, by
the arrogance of their words and gestures' crying out like can-
tuba's. " Death to the Constitution".-"‘ Long live . the Abso-
lute Xing !" They were seconded only by the rabble for this
purpose hired and paid but on the countenances of all the
honourable citizens they found only the expression of horror
and contempt. The night which followed this fatal day was
dreadfill, for although no blood was spilt, there was a horrid
yelling on the part of the drulten soldiers, who were allowed to
parade the street'.
In the morning of the sth the King entered with the re-
hunder of the troop* surrounded by a licentious soldiery,
and all the h' het and lower marline of Lisbon, and, like a
Sovereign of barbarians, he was conducted to the Cathedral to
return thanks to God for having broken his own oaths. In
order to crown this barbarous triumph,. the King's carriage
was drawn through the streets !by dicers of the army and a
few nobles. I do not rel ember whether the stupid Cli u bus ever
entered Rome, drawn by the military centurions or tribunes;.
but here the whole city of I..ishon beheld the triumphant car of
John VI., drawn by officers of the Portuguese army. The In-
fante lion Miguel, named Generalissimo, had a party of almost
naked and barefonted countrymen for his etitird of honour, tout
in the midst of this barbarous squad, I. litliotved the carriage
of his hither.

Such wattle disgraceful catestrophe that deprived Portugal
of her Constitution and if I were asked, what seas the cause;
of this fatal event, I should newer—two miserable factions..
one of which had the whole of it; p-, p inct r nee in the Ali:

way for the ruin of the best of causes ; anti it was natural

fug. It' I were further asked, whether the new order of things
will be lasting, I should answer-aahat its duration will be in
proportion to the good sense anti moral conduct of the new
agents of power, for the immorality, bad faith, and want of
judgment on the part of the agents of the Constitutional sys.
aem,.were the real causer of the loss the nation pax sustained,
and must deplore. Nevertheless, if I can judge of the feelings
and sentinients of the inhabitants of the whole kingdom, by
.what I have seen anti still see in the honourable inhabitants
Lisbon, and at the same time reflect on the line of conduct the
King and his new Ministers are pursuing, I feel inclined to
haz:,rd an opinion that the counter-revolutionary =ty st cm will
nut last long.
The loyal and high.ininded people of Lisbon will never be 3.
satisfied with a system which they know was forcibly este- .
bliehed by one of the most black perfidies ever before perpe-
trend. he total desertion of tile troops, and ;afterwards the
flight of the King, suddenly abandoning every thing to anarchy
and the fury ,of the passions, was an atrocious anti barbarous
plan, caleulated to involve the capital in all kinds of horrors
and confusion. The counter.revolutionista expected that the.
people of Lisbon, thus left to themselves, would rush into
a horrid labyrinth of crimes and disorders, when amidst this
political, dissolution they would be called in to re.eatabltals
order and public security, AS angels of peace and saviours of
the city. So deeply had this pzoject been formed, that when
any one joined the rebel* at Villa Franca, the first question
asked of him was, whether Lisbon was quiet, and, whether
they were nut fighting among themselves ? Such were the ap-
prehensions the counter-revolutionists haul of the good sense,
firmness, and loyalty of the inhabitants of the city, that they
did not dare to effect the counter-revolution within its precincts.
Hence they went to a distance, and carried with them the best
instrument—the King. If, therefore, the whole of Portugal
were as well convinced of theperfidious manner in which the.*
counter-revolution was brought about as those of the Capital axe,
this new state of things most assuredly would not last long.—.
This, however, is not the time for prophecies. One of the moat
essential instruments of the counter-revolution has been Sepul-
veda, one of the regenerators of Oporto, Ex-Deputy of the
Constituent Cortes, who signed and swore to the Constitution,
anti at the same time Governor of time Province of Estretnadura,
and Commander of all the forces stationed in the Capital. To
this perjured traitor it is that the Constitutionalists owe. the de-
sertion of the troops; but, he itas alrtamdy begup .to . receive the
reward of his crime*, for after narrowly escaping being killed
in Santarem, by the soldiers; after seing badly received by the
Prince—he hits been, ordered to withdraw. to Peniche o Berlin-
gas. When men of' this class betray their trust, whatr humeri
foresight can prevent treasons ,
