REIGN AFFAIRS.
Senhora,—When in the discharge of my duty, some
days since, I communicated to your Majesty an official
note addressed to me from Genoa, under the date of
the Ist of August, by the Commendador Francisco
Jose Rodrigues, in which that diploicatie agent of
your Majesty informs the Secretary of State for Pg.
reign Affairs of the abrupt verbal intimation he had
received from the Government of the King of Sardinia
to depart the States of that kingdom within 24 hours, I did not hesitate to declare to your Majesty, that 4 proceeding as unlooked for as it was contrary to the
usages established amongst civilized nations deserted
to be resented in a formal and declared manner },y the
Government of your Majesty, as soon as it
'Should be
ascertained with certainty that it had n'ot been pro-
ar
Yoked by any offensive act on the
d'Affaires of Portugal, or that that Charge agent, deporting
himself with the decorum and prudence which had
been recommended to him in his instructions, had fur-
nished no plausible pretext for withholding that consi-
deration from him which all Governments are accus-
tomed to observe towards diplomatic agents.
In truth, the occurrence which has taken place,
seemed to be not only without example, but even with-
out object ; for no previous circumstance could have
induced the suspicion that such a resolution would
have been adopted.
But as there was reason to suppose that the Sardi-
nia' n Government would, if not directly, at leastindi-
reetl
to ustif
y, assign the
' the Inotives which had appeared suffi-
cient jJae adoption of so violent a course, your
Majest Cabinet judged it proper to suspend -their
oPm.:ton until they should receive the explanations
which might naturally have been expected.
.This reasonable expectation has, however, been
frustrated, and there now remains no doubt that the
offensive proceeding has been as gratuitous as unpro-
voked. The Government of your Majesty, therefore,
it called upon to meet that proceeding in the manner
its dignity requires.
Francisco Jose Rodrigues has resided at the Court
of Sardinia for nearly 15 years, in quality of Charge
d'Affaires, first of your Majesty's august granath
and latterly of your Majesty, whose legitimat dfe
ascen er,t
to the Throne of your ancestors, was formally acluiow
ledged by that Court,jas well as by all the other Courts
of Europe.
During the sinister epoch nf the usurpation of the
Portuguese Crown that pitiolic servant adopted with-
out hesitation the line of his duty, and persevered in
it with honour and the most laudable constancy, by
continuing to reside at the same Court, where until
the present moment he was always well treated, and
never received any official notification that his inission
might be considered as at an end.
In this interval various occasions have occurred of
directing diplomatic communications to the Sardinian
Ministry, and I now possess the official replies whit I have received from that Ministry.
Since the happy and glorious restoration of your
Majesty he has continued in his mission, discharging always with loyalty the duty which devolved upon him
of communicating to his Government intelligence re—
specting the conntry in which lie resides, and in which
circumstance:s caused the congregation of the greater
Part of t}.e Portuguese fugitives.. This he did, without
ever, curing the whole period of his official correspon-
dP:nce, overstepping the prudent discretion his position
pointed out to him, and without affording any just cause
for the displeasure of the Court at which he was residing:,
by his acts or expressions, which were uniformly mo-
derate, or by any attempt to establish private political
correspondence, which, however, would not have been
reprehensible in him, but in which he was altogether
unfurnished with the means of engaging ; for the
throne of your Majesty, based ups justice, consoli-
dated by victory, and secured by the constitutional
charter of the Portuguese nation, can never be shaken
,by the intrigues of a small band of traitors to their
country, whom your Majesty's Government has con-
signed to merited contempt, and who are unworthy to
occupy die at. o i •
S'enhora;— abinet of the ing of Sardinia,
like the cabinets of solve other European Powers,
whose diplomatic agents accredited to your Majesty
retired from Portugal at the time of the usurpation,
has since that period taken no steps to establish its
mission in Lisbon, but as the complete renewal of diplo-
matic relations between the two countries was not till
the present moment denied to the Government of your
Majesty, which, limiting itself to observing with regard
to all the Powers the obligations of the law of nations
and the duties of friendship, judged it unnecessary to:
solicit the adoption of measures that should result only
from a reciprocity of feeling, and from the demands of
common interest ; the silence hitherto maintained by
the Sardinian Government could 'not be considered in
the light of a rupture of the communications between
the two countries, and therefore the commercial rela-
tions, as free as they could exist, and as they always
had existed, between the two States, were maintained
without alteration, to the mutual advantage of both.
The Portuguese Government is not aware that it
has ever intermeddled with or expressed an opinion
upon the internal affairs of Piedmont, during the pe-
riod of the political dissensions which happened in that
kingdom, and consequently cannot believe that the
Sardinian Government should seek to manifest an opi-
nion with regard to the form of internal government
which happily prevails in Portugal.
Not, therefore, being able to comprehend the mo-
tive which has induced that Cabinet to depart from all
the forms observed with regard to diplomatic agents
(or even foreign residents not invested with the diplo-
matic character), in expelling from the Sardinian States,
by a mere verbal order, the Portuguese Charge d'Af-
faires, who, though in the present instance not treated
with the formality due to his'station, was certainly at
least acknowledged in that character by the Sardinian
Government, your Majesty's Ministers conceive them-
selves bound, in the rigorous discharge of their duty,
to recommend to your Majesty to vindicate; by some
public act, not of hostility, but of just retaliation, the
character of your Government, which otherwise would
be compromised.
The measures which your Majesty's Government
has the honour to propose consist in suspending from
their functions all the Consular agents of the Sardi-
nian Government in the Portuguese dominions, and in
prohibiting the entry of all vessels under the flag of
that country into the ports of this kingdom and of its
dominions.
Your Majesty's Council in proposing this determi-
nation, by them deemed indispensable, for your Majes-
ty's adoption, think at the same time that it would be
proper and consonant with the just and liberal princi-
ples which, animate your Majesty to propose that the
exclus'.on of the Sardinian flag, should not commence
till. two months after the date of your Majesty's decree,
In order that time may be allowed for the notification
of this resolution in Italy, and the prejudice which
commerce might suffer from ignorance if its ftistemee
be avoided.
Your Majesty's Government finally proposes that
the most positive orders may be addressed to all the
civil, fiscal, and military authorities, that the cargoes
of the vessels of the King of Sardinia may reli-
giously respected, and that their crews in this kingdom
and its dominions may be taken under the especial
protection of the said authorities, in order that no in-
jury to either may be sustained in consequence of their
being deprived of their Consuls.
By this measure not the slightest alteration will be
effected in the securities granted to mercantile deposit's,
and the 2d article of the decree of the-22d of Moak
1835, remain in full vigour as respects the Sardinian
States.

In conformity with the principles announced in this
report, I have therefore the honour to submit for your
Majesty's royal approval and signature the following
decree :

DIOREN.
" The Duke de Palmetto having taken into consideration
the Report of the Minister and Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, I-have thought fit to determine as follows :
" Ist. The exequatur or confirmation given by me, or in
my Royal name, to the Consuls, Vice-Consuls, or ConsulP.r
Agents of the Government of Sardinia, in the kingdom of
Portugal and its dominions, shall be suspended ; ar.d it
shall not be allowed to the said agents to exercise tile, func-
tions which in such character belonged to them% Orders
