their country, repelled the daring pretensions of theePhe-
iaieians, CatthaginiatNiTans, Servians, Vandals, and
several other people, _who at different epochs attempted to
subdue them. Observe that the alliance which binds Great
Britain to Portugal has no other foundation than a mer-
cantile speculation. Recollect the Treaty of Marriage of
the Infanta Donna Catharine.. Recollect the War of Suc-
cession to the Spanish Throne.
" Let it never be forgotten that, in the sanguinary con-
test which lately agitated all Europe, your property—
your blood--your lives, served for
,no other purpose than
the preservation, the glory, and the prosperity of England.
—lt is seen in the plan of operations carried on
lay Lord Wellington, who succeeded in defending
- Great Britain, and not . the Peninsula,. in the very
Peninsula. It is seen in the shameful Treaty of 1810, in
which the crafty and impudent. Lord Strangford, rejecting
all other treaties,' conquered Portugal, which had thrOwn
oil' the yoke of the tyrant of Eurqpe. It is seen in the
Congress of Vienna, to which your Ambassadors were not
admitted. It is seen in the spoils of the battle of Vittoria,
appropriated to herself by England alone.
4. But now has arrived the time of recovering your an-
cient glory and your ancient independence ! The restorer
- of the Portuguese monarchy is approaching towards you—
run forward to meet him, and with welcomes hail your
King. Allow not yourselves to be deceived by the pro-
mises which justice and reason disclaim—which are dic-
tated by Freemasons and spurious Portuguese, who are
basely sold to the Government of England, and are traitors
to their country ; but give now to the world an example of
a valiant nation, which, in the midst of its humiliation,
liberating itself by its own bravery from the chains of op•
pression, knows how to pledge the lives of its subjects for
the security of the honour inherited from their ancestors !
Viva the Holy Religiop of our fathers !.
ViVa the absolute King Don Miguel I. !
,* ,
Viva the august House of Braganza!
Viva the restored Monarchy of Portugal !"

DESPATCHES FROM LISBON.

Despatches were this morning received by Go-
vernment from Sir FREDERICK LAMB, our Ambas=
sador at Lisbon, as also from Sir Wu
TON, the Commander of the Forces, and from Vice-,
Admiral Lord AMELIUS BEAUCLERE, commanding
the British squadron in the Tagus.
The nature of these documents is of a similar ten-

dency to what will be found under the head of
" Lisbon Gazettes" and private correspondence from
• • that quarter. The situation of affairs was the most dis.
cordant imaginable—distrust and fear were pictured
on every countenance—even the minions of Don
. MtjtJEL, though perpetrating the most brutal deeds,
in his name, displayed strong symptoms of doubt
"1"' and alarm as to' the next freak of their Absolute
Master. The prOsehce of the British troopsis the
only guarantee or public safety, and it is deplorable
•to contemplate what ruin and havoc must ensue on
their departure. The conduct of Don MIGUEL has
been such that he ought at once 'to be denounced as
a traitor to his country, and banished to Vienna,
if not sent in chains to the Brazils, •in order
to be dealt with ai a traitor to his brother and law-

fail SOVEREIGN. It is the mere .mockery of for

bearance to hold any terms with a fellow so lost to all
honourable feeling--and so bigotted to prieitly
supremacy that he only performs the sacred duties

of taking an oath with,the,firrn intention of breaking
•it. With such a person, no compact can be held,

because' tiOHteriiis can be binding. His sole aim is to
...deceive that he may exult in the success. of, his in-
famous. designs. His late .conduct in. this country,
and his subsequent'behaviour in Portugal aire as dis-
tinct as light and darkness. Hypocrisy' has' never
had a more fiuished nor a more willing profesior than
Don' MlGUEL—always excepting FRDINANI3 of
Spain and METTERNICH of Austria.
The perusal of the information in another part 0r
our Paper will afford a striking . insight into
the duplicity, cowardice, and base ingratitude
of Don isiltatm. and his insatiate mother. But the•
wonder is how our Government can tolerate the
.continuance of such abominable conduct, after all
the expence to which we have .gone to support the.
Constitutional System. That the intentions of Mtn
GuEt, are pretty evident will be seen from a Proclama-
tion, which he, was to have' distributed immediately
on the departure of our troops. Nothing short
of 'absolute power will satisfy him. He must be
King. In that document he tells his real sentiments.
After- appealing to the pride and vanity of the Por-
tuguese, he ,recounts all the wonders which Por-
tugal had done in the three quarters of .the globe,
and considers how degrading it must be 'to
the Portuguese to be subject to Brazil—
ancient Colony ! But the most, -
- part is that where he says that he shall have no, more
• treaties with England, because they were all founded
i 9 a commercial speculation for the benefit of Eng-
land, as If Portugal had not a mutual interest in
them But it were idle to argue upon such a
barefaced rhodomontade of ingratitud6 and falsehood.
Should MIGUEL proceed in his present career, we
trust that he will speedily meet that fate which his
4",PilerY merits.
"Ile following is from our Correspondent in Lis-
bon, and
gives a pretty faithful picture of the real
state' of things iti that unfortunate capital :
:s',l4,ll‘laacit 22.—Since writing to you by last
rwaencet; matters have- been going on here from bad to
although not to•such a height of misery and disor-
der if the whole of our troops had left, as was intended ;
but if the
answer to Sir Frederick Lamb's despatch should
be an' order for their being. withdrawn, it would have been
}etter
f°l'' many that they had never been Bent at all.—
Their preseitee here now solely prevents the most bigotted
and cruel persecution from being carried to as great a
length as it :ever tad.been by the beloved Ferdinand, and
couwqueatly, the poor people, who cannot afford to leave
the country, look
to England as their only hope of
balration. This hope, .
oe probably, rather fear
