DOM MIGUEL, KING OF PORTUGAL.

(From the Westminster Gazette.)
A tourist in Western Germany, passing through
Heidelberg or Wurzburg, can easily make an
interesting excursion to a charming wooded valley
hidden deep in the solitude of an old German
forest, where Dora Miguel, King of Portugal,
found a hospitable reception while awaiting the
close of a life full of vicissitudes. At Bischofs-
heim, lately devastated by the Prussians, the
Wurzburgh and Heidelberg railway meets a lovely
little river, the Tauber, and the traveller on de-
scending the valley of the river (a branch railway
is now in course of construction there) will soon
reach the ancient Cistercian abbey of Bronnbach,
a town in which he will find a comfortable inn.
It is four English miles above Wertheim, where
the Tauber falls into the Main. The abbey came
into the possession of its recent proprietor, Prince
Charles von Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, in
consequence of political changes, and with the
Papal sanction ; he resides himself on the lovely
banks of the Main, at Henbach, near Aschaffen-
burg, and his now widowed sister, who was mar-
, ried to Dom. Miguel, at the old abbey of Bronn-
bach. The abbey is but little changed, and the
interior arrangements that meet the eye of the
stranger remind him more forcibly of the monas-
tery than of the Prince's palace. Here the illus-
trious pair dwelled long together with their many
children, and with but few attendants. They
were distinguished in the eyes of the world only
by their piety, their charity, and their affability
to all. Dora Miguel especially was remarkable for
an almost excessive goodness of heart, at all times
and under all circumstances, and to such a degree
that his political adversaries were quite at a loss
to reconcile his life and character, as manifested
here during a long course of years with the preva-
lent myths of his government in Portugal. They
unreservedly declare that, according to all human
experience, it .is quite impossible that such a
public character could ever turn out such a private
character. " Who can believe," say they, " that
this noble, modest, conscientious, and amiable
man who has been living among us for years, and
whose private life and character every one is forced
to honour, should be the sanguinary despot of
Portugal ?" The explanation is simple enough,
and to the unprejudiced inquirer has long
ceased to be an enigma. The works of political
partisans honoured with the title Of historical
annals are worthless productions, through which
party prejudice succeeded formerly in England,
and still more in Germany, in confusing and mis-
leading the public opinion of the day. Even now,
when death has overtaken the aged but still hale
and active prince, while engaged in manly field
sports in the forest of the Spessart,—even at such
a moment, when a sudden death (though, God be
praised, not an unprovided one—for he never let
the highest, the last ends of his life out of view)—
had just released their noble victim from his
earthly banishment, some harsh voices are raised
to re-echo the old cry about the Portuguese tyrant.
But the people here are still too uncorrupt, possess
too much good and honest feeling, not to be
stirred with the deepest indignation, at hearing
such demoniacal outcries of party hate and party
prejudice. Our simple-hearted townsfolk, though
conscious of not being able to see their way
through the mazes of politics, are not less in-
dignant at the impiety, as well as the indelicacy,
at the present moment of such unworthy attacks
on the deceased Prince. " What do we know,"
do they exclaim to one another, " about revolu-
tionary struggles in a foreign country, where one
party has succeeded in driving out the other ?
Those who abuse the loudest have generally the
worst conscience. As soon as the Prussians
drove out the King of Hanover, see how the
Prussian papers were filled with abuse of him.
To us Dom Miguel came as a stranger, robbed of
his kingdom and of his property ; where is there
an individual in the country who can accuse him
of ever having in the least injured or offended
him? Who can say that Dorn Miguel ever let an
opportunity of doing good pass by unnoticed ?
How many have to thank him for benefits
received, although he was far from wealthy ; in
the late devastating war no poor wounded soldier
lay in the neighbourhood of Bronnbach without
receiving from thence help and comfort for soul
and body !"
This is the kind of dirge which our honest towns-
folk and country people sing in honour of the
exiled Sovereign. And I believe that every right-
minded man, whether political adversary or not,
must join in the simple expression of popular
feeling. I am myself no political adversary of
Dom Miguel, but am a friend of unprejudiced
historical inquiry, and I believe that to such of
your readers as have failed to obtain an exact
and strictly historical account of the revolu-
tion, to which Dorn Miguel fell a victim, a
few words of explanation will be useful. Those,
to whom this history is not new, will pardon me
for bringing forward facts, with which they are
as well, if not better, acquainted than myself ; they
know how difficult it is in these days for truth to
withstand the flood of falsehood that pours down
upon it on all sides from a thousand sources.
True it was a party struggle to which Dom
Miguel fell a victim. But we owe it to him above
all to have these parties placed in their true light—
to show that the parties engaged in this struggle
were no other than that of right and of injustice,
of legitimacy and of revolution, of Catholicism and
of freemasonry, of national independence and of
foreign intervention and preponderance.
Dorn Miguel, the second son of Dorn John
VI., was neither ignorant of nor disputed the ori-
ginal claims of his brother to the throne of Por-
tugal ; he only erred in having, through ignorance
of his own rights, acknowledged the claims of his
brother Dora Pedro when those claims no longer
existed. According to an undisputed law of the
kingdom of Portugal, the elder brother, in the year
1825, forfeited his right of inheritance to the
kingdom of Portugal. Dorn Pedro had rebelled
against his father in Brazil, but on the 15th of
October, 1825, concluded a treaty with him, by
virtue of which Brazil 'ceased to be united with
Portugal, and became an entirely independent
kingdom ; it was agreed upon that after the death
of Dom John VI., Dom Pedro should ascend the
throne of Brazil as Emperor. From this moment
Dom Pedro ceased to have any right of inheritance
in Portugal, by a fundamental law of the country
when a King of Portugal dies leaving sons behind
him, and bequeathing an independent Crown as an
inheritance in the family, the Crown of Portugal
falls to the second son, and he alone, as legitimate
heir to the throne of Portugal, is entitled to claim
an oath of allegiance. In March, 1826, King
John died. But no one was less acquainted with
what passed in Portugal and Brazil thanrt Dorn
pointment is not to be wondered the confident
an was
rendered all the more bitter by
assurance with which they had awaited the suc-
cess of their fine-spun machinations. A prince,
who in service of the revolution is willing to cast
off the holiest obligations, and to tread under foot
the faith of treaties, such a prince may, indeed,
gather around him from all sides a crowd of par-
tizans, praising and exalting him, the idol of the
day, because, rising superior to prejudice, he has
discerned his historic mission, and made the true
welfare of the nation, the development of civiliza-
tion and political progrefo, the oole rule and guide
