THE AUSTRIAN EMBASSY AT LISBON.

VIENNA, SEPT. 25.—Baron 4Sturrner, Imperial
and Royal Envoy to the Court of Brazil, having
arrived at Lisbon-, renewed the steps vv.hich had
before been fruitlessly taken for obtaining satis-
faction for the insults which took, place in the
latter days of April, before the house of M. de
Berks, Consul-General, and then Charge d'Af-
faires from our Court. On the 13th of August
last he received from M. Pinheiro Ferreira, Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs to the King of Portugal,
a note which, far from giving or promising the
satisfaction which had been demanded, was con-
ceived in terms which induced the Baron de
Sturmer to ask his passports, rather than to make
any reply. The same request was made by Ge-
neral de Tuyll, the Russian Imperial Envoy,
who, on account of the principles put forth in
the- Note of the Portuguese. Minister, judged
that the continuance of his residence at Lisbon
was incompatible with the dignity of his Court.
The two Envoys embarked on the 22d of Au-
gust at Lisbon, with all the persons attached to
their suites, on board the English packet-boat
Sturmer, and arrived the 2d of the present mouth
at Falmouth.—The latest French acid English

in this document,that a false exposition of the a bove

it to believed that the Imperial Court could take
the accounts of foreign journals for the bases of
the instructions given to its diplomatic agents,
such a supposition would, in the present case, be
altogether arbitrary and destitute of foundation,
as the whole affair is sufficiently explained by
reports directly made by M. de Berks, and
founded on incontestable facts.—(Austriun Ob-

day the Charge d'Affaires of his Imperial and
Royal Majesty represented what had happened
to the Government, ,and demanded a suitable
satisfaction and the punishment of the guilty.
Batt-instead of fulfilling this. duty, the Govern-
ment replied by a declaratiOn which, taking it in
the most favourable sense, only proved its inabi-
lity to maintain public tranquillity. The Charge
d'Affaires reported the circumstances to his
Court.—Rigs Imperial Majesty 'never being ac-
customed to permit that those rules of th,' law of
nations, under the wgis of which the represent-
atives of other governments are placed in his
states, should be lost sight of in foreign countries,
and being by no means inclined to recognise the
weakness- of a government as a valid reason for
the_ breach of these rates, ordered M. de Berks
to present a note, and to insist upon a perfectly
satisfactory declaration ; am:, in case of refusal,
to demand his passports.:--In the meantime the
King arrived in Portugal. But the reply
pected, in consequence. of the step taken by the
Charge d'Affaires conformably to the order he
had received, was delayed from week to week.
—During this delay Baron Stunner, the Inr-
perial Envoy, being also arrived in Lisbon,
renewed the same complaint ; and finally there
appeared on the 13th of August a note from
the Portuguese Ministers for Foreign Affairs,
the contents of which determined Baron
Stunner to execute the instructions he had
ceived from his Court and to demand his.pass-
ports. On the lath General Tnyll, the Envoy
of the. Court of Rusia, also delivered to the
Portuguese Minister a note, in which he declared
that, .under, the present circumstances, and con-
sidering that by!the principles recently disclosed,
and the mettsures announced by the. Portpguese
Government, the dignity and authority of his
Court was exposed to the risk of offence, he be-
' lieved it necessary, la order to secure himself
agaipst every- responsibility, to suspend imme-
diaffly his .diplomatic functions,- to leave his Ma-
jesty the Kiwi- of Portugal's Court, and to await
the further orders' of his Imperial Majesty. The
.-twol;lnvoys accordingly. left Lisbon on the td,
with all their diplomatic suite, and landed on
the cid of September at Falmouth. The Envoy
of hiS Imperialand Royal Majesty has transferred
to M. Bore!, who remains at Lisbon in the
character of Consul-General of Russia, the
charge of all commercial affairs and other Matters
concerning Austrian subjects."
