Present—The Plenipotentiaries of Spain, of France, of
Great Britain, and of Portugal.
The Plenipotentiaries of Spain, of France, of Great
Britain, and of Portugal, having met in conference on
the invitation of the Plenipotentiary of Portugal,
The Portuguese Plenipotentiary stated that he had
learnt by ad vices which he had this day received from
his Government, that the efforts made at Oporto by
Colonel Wylde and the Marquis d'Espana, to put an end
to the civil war in Portugal, upon the conditions which
those officers were authorised by the Queen of Portugal
to make known to the Junta had failed; and he added,
that as the Queen of Portugal had offered those condi-
...

Lions in accordance with the advice of her allies, he was
now commanded by her Most Faithful Majesty to renew
the application which her Most Faithful Majesty bad
previously made to those of her allies who had been
parties to the treaty of the 22d of April, 1534, for
assistance to enable her to effect the pacification of her
dominions.

The Baron Moneorvo further stated that the condi-
tions which had thus been c,rrimunicatcd 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 October last,
and an immediate recal of all persons who, since that
time, have been sent out of Portugal for political reasons.
ql An immediate revocation of all the decrees which
have been issued since the beginning of October last,
and which infringe upon or conflict with the established
laws and constitution of the kingdom.
3d. A Convocation of the Cortes so soon as the elec-
tions, which are to take place without delay, shall have
been completed.

4th. The immediate appointment of an administration
composed of men not belonging to the party of the Ca-
heals, nor being members of th Oporto Junta.
The British Plenipotentiary confirmed the statement
of Baron de Moneurvo, and said that the British Go-
vernment bad also received this morning from Colonel
\Vylde, dispatches reporting the failure of the mission
upon which he and the Marquis d'Espana had been en -
ployed, and the refuel of the Junta either to put an end
to the civl 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 broughtto,un
anedned

a end,
upon conditions which should on the one hand be f,
of the Crown, am should
ty for the I:l3,J.ties of the people; an,' b, mug more-

riof opinion that the arrangements proposed by her
Most Faithful Majcs!y were eel' 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 rerresented that in the present
state of affairs in Portugal delay must lead to a a renewal
of bloodshed, and an aggravation of the calamities by
which Portugal is now afflicted.
