that as the given of Porival had off red those condi-
tions in accordance with the afhieo of her allies, he was

the aptdivati,,n which her Most Fatthful Majesty had
previously made to thos( the22d of
of her allies
A 183411111 ,beert
for
parties to the, treaty .
ee to enable for to eff -et the fincii,:ation of her
d.uninions.

Tin, Baron Moncr'rvo further stated that the condi-
tions which had thus ben c.)rnmohicat. d to the Junta of
Oporto by her Most Faithful Majesty's authority,
were :

Ist. A full and general amnesty for all political
offences committed since the beginning of Octob r last,
and an immediate reed of -ll persons who, since that
time, have been sent out of P..r!ugal for political reasons.
2d. An immediate revocation of all the decrees which

tions, which are to take place without delay, shall have

The British Plenipotentiary confirmed the statement
of Baron de Moncorvo, and said that the British Go-
vernment had also received this morning from Colonel
Wyl4, dispatches reporting the failure of the mission
upon which he end the Marquis d'Espana had been em-
ployed, and the refuel of the Junta either to put an end
to the civil war upon the terms proposed to them by her
Most Faithful Majesty, or to consent even to a tempo-
rary suspension of arms.
The Plenipotentiaries of Spain, France, and Great
Britain, having taken these matters into their serious
consideration, and bearing in mind the deep interest
which their respective Governments take in the welfare
of the kingdom of Portugal, and the anxious desires
which those Governments feel that the civil war which
now desolates that country should be brought to an end,
upon conditions which should on the ono hand be founded
upon a due regard to the dignity and constitutional rights
of the Crown, and should on the other hand afford a just
security for the liberties of the people; and being more-
over of opinion that the arrangements proposed by her
Most Faithful Majesty were well calculated to attain
these ends, agree that a case has now presented itself
in which their respective Governments may, in full ac-
cordance with the principles by which they are guided,
comply with the application for assistance addressed to
them by the Queen of Portugal.
The Plenipotentiary of Portugal, after expressing the
satisfaction with which he received this declaration on
the part of the Plenipotentiaries of the three Powers,
impressed upon them the urgent necessity that imme-
diate measures should be taken to carry those declara-
tions into effect, and represented that in the present
state of affairs in Portugal delay must lead too aeeby
renewal
of bloothhed, and an aggravation of the calamities
which Portugal is now afflicted.
