SIR: ROBERT WILSON TO THE PORTUGUESE

NATION.
" Portuguese !—I entered your country as an affectionate
friend and an ancient companion of your arms. I entered it
with the conviction that I had founded indisputable titles to
your esteem, and that no individual in your nation could ever
charge me with having done him an injury or unkind action.
" I was on my way to your Government with propositions
of import for your safety and honour, connected as I believed
that safety and honour to be with the cause of independence in
Spain. And I will not deny that I did entertain some au.
thorized hopes of renewing relations which could have per-
mitted me to participate in the assured glory of your achiae- ,
naents.
" Checked in my progress by the transactions which occurred
at Lisbon, and disappointed in every hope by the Royal De.
claration.that the- counter-revolution would be the guarantee of
ueacebetween Portugal and the invaders, I gave my word cif
honour to the new government of Oporto not to interfere with
the internal affairs of Portugal during my residence in their
country, and I sought immediately to regain the Spanish ter-
ritory, without a thought hostile to the right of Portugal to
alter and construct her own fortis of Government, at her own
will and pleasure, however I might regret the exercise d'f that
right in the present instance, and particularly in the present

moment. •
" A frenzied populaCe at Braga, instigated by a few indivi'
duals, who, I hope, only assumed the habit they wore, ass
sembled to assassinate me and my unoffending companions ;
and in the absence of military force sufficient to prevent the
violation of municipal as well as public law, prevailed so far as
to detain us two ilays.in their city.
" Released from this confinement, • and opposed at every
Point in our progress, the. Government at Oporto denied us
moment's refitge and repose ; and the clovernorrcarrying into
execution the orders of the Junta, not only arrested and dis-
armed us, but presumed -to treat me with all • tlle insolence of
office, and the vulgar feelings of a man who was conscious that
he could abuse his power with impunity.
" Portuguese ! although thus outraged, wronged, and in-
sulted by a faction and its directors, believe me, I can never
forget the friendly kindness and devotional zeal of all classes,
civil and military, by which I had been previously honoured
and protected. Believe me, that, in defiance of every calumny,
wherever I may be, and under whatever circumstances you.
tray find me, you will always be the objects of my 'sincerest
and most cordial regard. .

"'The uniformly hostile and perfidious conduct of the Cabi-

blishment of her Constitutional Government, Is notorious to all
the world. The clumsy veil with which that Cabinet for some
time covered its numerous perfidies, was at length, to the shame
of morality and public honour, openly torn by the French Mi-
nisters, in the midst of a legislative assembly ; and indignant
posterity will learn, even from the confession of the criminals
themselves. that the. Government of a Monarch who is called
the Most Christian,: cast upon a pacific nation, a neighbour, a
friend, and an ally, the brands of civil discord ; created inter-
nal factions; and gave protection to assassins anti traitors, in
violation of the faith of treaties.
" That Cabinet has perverted the most legitimate and spot-
less political revolettion which the annals of nations exhi-
bit, from its originally tranquil course, by hiring base wri-
ters to bring virtue into discredit, to sow distrust, and to foment
amenity.
" It has calumniated the cause of liberty, by adducing ag&nst
that cause those Very.excesses and convulsions which he own

" Europe, the witness of these horrors, is silent and assent-
ing. The weak Powers are overawed, and those called great
either favour the views of the French Cabinet, because they an-
pmve its pernicious doctrines, or rely on the greatness of their
own strength for keeping them out of the reach of die danger.
But power is not eternal; and the nation which at one tune
dictates laws to others, is at another the object of their contempt.
Perhaps some who now condemn in theory the unjust inexiins
of public law which are pretended to be introduced, hut who •
abstain from opposing their dangerous eplication, will here-
after dearly repent sn serious an error. The successful repeti-
tion of such acts of superior force will give them a sanction
under the name of Justice; the feebli barriers which have
hitherto protected die independence of States, and defended the r
balance of power, will be broken down ; all just notions of pubs
lie morality will lie obliterated, and the light of civilization.
be extinguished by the breath of barbarism.
