to be driven to the vicinity of the fortified places,
and to 'be-kept, as 'much as possible, under
the protection of their cannon. The same ar-

accomplished before the 26th of April, so that
additional time would be allowed for the, Spa-

The, Emperor of all the Russias has no 'doubt

enough of the el celeras of civilization and re-

out of which they came, and to which they, with
some sulkiness, returned. The Russian bear is a

[MORNING CHRONICLE...I
Whilst the grand drama is preparing in which
the Duke D'Angouleme it to take so leading n
part, we will, for a moment, turn to the at-
tempted Portuguese revolutiou, one of its prin-
cipal underplots. if any thing can be considered
really wicked and abominable, it is that system
of exciting 'and promoting anarchy and civil
dissentious in Spain and Portugal, by the
most base and corrupt means, to which the
French have so unhlosilieg resorted within',
the lust eighteen months, as a preparation for
their intended attack on the Peninsula. Availing
themselves of the freedom of the press allow ed
in both countries, they brought up the few pub-
lic writers who were base or ignorant enough to
sell their services, and who fastened on several
of the Articles of the two Constitutions, which
they condemned at first" with some reserve, but
afterwards were boldly throwing out the most
insidious insinuations anti imputations against
the men in power; attempts were made to
inhume the passions of the people ; clergy-
men were hired to raise, secretly,, prejudices
in their Minds ; in short, there are 110 private or
public menus which the numerout French agents
have left untried', to corrupt, divide, and ensnare
the people, in both 'Spain and Portugal, with a
view to set them at variance 'with their, respea-
live Governments. These neents have been pro,
vided with travelling credits from Paris, and SQ
barefaced has been the plan in Lisbon, that a
French vessel actually arrived there with specie to
supply them. Of these agents a Sarazin was a
principal one, and .they were all instructed to
follow the plans confided to them by a secret
Portuguese Regency formed in Paris. They
were supplied with lists of persons who would
favour their projects, as well as with cyphers,
and all the other requisites for secret correspon-
dence and machinations.
