cure, while MIGuEL, his Mothcr, and the rene-
,
gadces who joined the standard of usurpation,
will have ample reason to lament the foily of
their nefarious designs. The Times of this
morning has the following cheering paragraph,
announcing the return of the Constitutionalists
to their native country, where they will assert,
with their brethren in arms, the cause of free-
dom and of justice :

passengers will all be collected on Wednesday night, and

the Conde- VilJalor, the Conde de •Satnpayo, the-COlide

The abdication of the Crown of Portugal by
DOn PEDito may throw some obstacle in the
:way of the Constitutionalists with respect to
Don MIGUEL The Provisional Government
are now acting in the name of Don PEDRO, for
whose- 'rights they contend, while, at the
same, :time, Don PED no has relinquished
all claim to the Crown of Portugal. How then are
they to act ? It is clear that Don PEDRO, having
publicly decreed his abdication, can no longerin
terfere in the concerns of Portugal ; and the Provi-
sionall Government are at isL,.e with Don MIGUEL,
whe affects the title of KING, in direct viola-
lation of his oath, and his duty to the daughter of
Don PEDRO. The Provisional Government can-
not therefore wait for orders from a Prince
who has renounced all claim to the Kingdot,
for his orders would be deemed invalid by the
opposing party, rho would be justified, accord-
ing to law, in disobeying, or rather in contemning
them. No, they must act in the name, and for
the interest of DONNA MARIA, as a provisional
Government constituted by State necessity to
support the Crown and Constitution of the
Country—and as such denounce MIGUEL, and
all who advocate his cause, as traitors. Don PEDRO
cannot recal what he has given away—Portugal
owes hint no allegiance—but the Provisional
