" Marian), •4s—l can essere you, that the uneasine,s' of
our Government on the aecouut of the invasion of Portugal is
veiy great, and that no• pains are spared to quiet Mr. Lamb,
whose mites become every day more menarine. With a view tci.
this object, the Minister of War has sent OrtiPt3 to ell the 'Cap-
4ins-General commanding the frontier provinces to this effect
" Every Constitutional Portuguese taken ps isoner in the in-
vasion of the Infautists, . who shall enter the Spanish territory,
shall be treated with the kindness awl shall receive the hos-
pitality which is due to the subject of a friendly and Allied
• Nation.' ••
•-•-" But the events ere rapid, and it is out or the power of the
(internment to stop not only tnose which are passing in the in.
tenor of Portugal, hut even those which may take place on the
Spanish territory ; for we are assured that the whule of the
Prince's regiment, tile officers excepted, has passed the frontiers.
If this fact he correct, as I believe it to be, there is no doubt that
this desertion is a reinforcement sent by our apostolies to the
brethren in' Portugal. •sa
" Yesterday the Portuguese Charge des Afraires communicated
to nut Government the resolution of the Portuguese Regency nu
longer to recognise M. de Casa-Flores, in quality of Ambassador
from Our Court. To this communication he joined the repot is
of our Governors of the Portuguese provinces, bordering on
Spain, announcing the invasion of the Portuguese rebels. The
Charge des Air:tires closes his letter by fresh complaints, and by
-demanding farther explanations ; hut instead of giving explans-
time, M. Salmon replied yesterday evening, that the functions OF
M. tie Casa-Floras having ceased at Lisbon, those of N. Poste de
'Lima, Charge this Affairee of Portugal at Madrid, had also ceased,
add that consequently, he was under the necessity of inter-
rupting his official relations with M. Ponto de Lima. The
hitter had eereivell his despatches by an extraordinary courier,.
sent to the French Ambassador at Madrid, by the French. Ambas-
sador at Lisbon.

" M. d'Almida, Minister for Foreign Mika to the Regen-
cy, in the
,despatches mentioned above, which are dated the
27th ultimo, informs M. Polite de Lima that new instruct
tions will he addressed to him next day, the 28th ; but we learn-
+A yesterday that. the Portuguese wbo was the bearer of those
instructions had been taken on his routs at Villa-Viciosa by the
Portuguese rebels ; so %vliat the new instructions contain is not
known.

" The letters by the post from Portugal, which arrived to.
Jay, have not been delivered; and we are completely ignorant ir
what hail been pasting hi the three provinces invaded by the Par•
tuguese rebels.

" We every day hear of game new excesses committed by the
rebels who entered Braganza. We at present are informed,- that
although they committed all sorts of crimee upon the inhabitants
Of that place generally, they sought chiefly after the English sub-
jects established at Braganca. One of them had the misfortune
to be taken, and was dragged alive through the streets, until he
irspirsd under the most cruel torments.

" Persons arriving from Old Castile announce, that the troops
which marched through Valladolid, with General Longa, are
cantormed in the villages in the neighbourhood of Benevento, on
the side towards Portugali
" The Court returrosf this morning from the liseuriul, and
since then the report of the dismissed of M. Coloinurde acquires
farther credit. goine ioay that he will be succeeded by the Count
D'Olfalia. Others say, that his successor will be M. Zea
Berinudez."

" PAM, DEc. 14.—1 n a representative Monarchy, every
thing is the work of the Ministry ; ordinances, laW projects, con-
ventions, treaties,
&C., and certaisly, if ever there was an occa-
,%iou for insisting upon this fundamental principle, 'it is with re.
sped to the last speech delivered from the throne. What true
Royalist, what faithful servant of the legitimate Monarch, Would
charge the Crown with the responsibility of a dnewwent so calcu-
lated to disturb public opinion, as well by what, it withholds as by
what it proclaims? This opinion, therefore, has hoe, 1111Mli mom,
and is shared even by those who sonic days before stilt disputed his
right of examination. Under these circumstances, the minioet
has at leak done this much good, that the question will not agar;„
be revived.

.4 It has been with ju.tiee remarked, that the phrases more par..
titularly attributed to M. de Welts have not has contributed to
the depression of the public funds than the news from England
Mut Portugal.
We have already explained ourselves on the affairs of Portu-
gal. It would be, nseless now to retuiu to the subject. Our wishes
ore for a rational liberty to all notions—a liberty confOrmable to
their genius and manners. We never can approve Of those armed
insurrections which take upon themselves the right of overthrow-
ing institutions, of dethroning and proclaiming kings. But
pass-
iog over for the present the Portuguese question, properly so
called, we ask whether France, under theserious circumstances in

which the policy of M. de Villele has placed her, is aboutt;act;
part suitable to her lutereata as well at her glory; 14;hother; iu

ranging ourselves on the side of Portuguese liberty, we occupy the
poet of honour ; and whether, having done nothing in Spain
during three years of the Dauphin's victories, we shall allow Eng•
land alone to teach us how to deliver a King by securing the liber-
ties of a people?

" All this is overwhelming fur M. de Villele. His deplorable
poliiy has calks' back the power of England on the Continent !
" Can we pretend to remain in Spain, with the small number
of troops we have there, while our. ally shall occupy Portugal
with an army supported by her innumerable ships of war? We
made this observation long ago, and our predictions were regarded
as proceeding from hatred and envy; such must be the conse-
quences of an administration conducted by a man, who never waft,
and never can be a statesman; by a Minister, who reads the des-
tittles of the world in the bulletin of his unfortunate three
_per
cents. ; by a President of the Council, who, possessing neither
the knowledge nor talents necessary to that first place, instead of
taking counsel from men well-informed in politics, has never
formed a judgment op the state of Europe and Amerira, except
from the ledgers of a banker.

" The 4;istarque of this morning says..., We are assured that
orders have been sent to the military divisions near Spain, to
march all their disposable troops on Bayonne. These troops are
destined to enter Spain immediately.'
