MURDER.—A murder was committed on Sawa-
day night in the neighbourhood of Cradoe. Two cousins, named
Roche and Jones, determined on robbing, on the evening we
mention, some nets east on Cratfel shore, in the Shannon. They
left the neighbourhood of the wood, accompanied 014 by en
prentice of Roche. a tailor, by trade. After effecting their impose,
and when dividing their spoil, a dispute arose between the parties ;
to such a pitch did their misunderstanding run, that Roche,
who alone of the party wa,
forgetful of those claims
which should interpose to
check murderous passion,
tired the contents of- a fowling-piece , through the body
of hia.consin. - The apprentice, who seems to have participated
in hin is aater's feeling and armed,
crime, directed him to reload, and
complete what be had begun, The, unrelenting villain obeyed,
unsatisfied by the that essay 0f his /maim), and unmoved by the
writhing victim before him, he again lodged the centents orbie
gun In
the body of his relative. Alarm, the'quick pursuer of guilt,
won seized the ruffians, and they absconded. Justice, however,
was active at their
—W
, -elts, and they were next day apprehended
up the country, by the Pollee. The Coroner'a Jury have given
their verdict according to the filets; and Roche and his apiiren-
ticenow await whatever their fate may be at the next Enni* Aw

. LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER-12, 1826,

We had.the gratification last evening to publish in
a considerable part of our impression hid MAJESTY'S
most gracious Message to both Houses of Parliament,
and it is reprinted this day in our Parliamentary pro-
ceedings for the information of those of our, readers
who had the first edition of our yesterday's Paper.
We are convinced that every man who has the
honour of Great Britain and the general interests of
Europe at heart, will applaud the firm and manly tont
which his MAJESTY has assumed on the unprincipled
aggression of Spain upon the territory of Portugal
and will cordially support his MAJESTY in his deter-
mination " to maintain the Faith of Treaties, and to
secure against FOreign Hostility the safety and inde-
pendence of the oldest Ally of Great Britain."
It is with feelings of pride that we recur to the lan-
guage
,which we have uniformly held relative to the
bonduct of Spain with reference to the affairs of Portri-
,gal, and the deserters from her Constitutional standard.
We have strewn, from the evidence of facts, that the
Court of Madrid had encouraged rebellion in the ranks
of the Portuguese army, by receiving and fostering the
discontented within the Spanish territory—that it had
sanctioned the. organization of those deserters by mili-
tary officers of high, rank,—and had undoubtedly con-
nived at, if it had not actually assisted in, the prepara-
tions which the forces so organized were making for
an invasion of the kingdom of Portugal ; and we
con-
clusively proved that the Court of Madrid was not
Sincere ir, the orders which it finally gave with regard
to these troops—orders which were not despatched
until after the invasion of the Portuguese territory had
actually taken place.. We constantly maintained also
that an explanation of the conduct of Spain ought to
be demanded, • and expressed our decided opinion
that his MAJESTY'S Ministers would demand such
an explanation without delay, and in a tone which
would shake to its foundation the Government
of Spain. We were not mistaken : the honour of
Great Britain was in the hands of men who would not
allow it to be tarnished, nor the faith of treaties, for
the security of an ancient ally, to be no longer re-
wired. His MAJESTY'S Ministers have nobly, fulfilled
the sacred trust with which they were invested, and
the unanimous voice of the .country will resound the
praises which their decided and proper conduct must
excite.

But the measures which his MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment have determined to adopt, were not resolved upon
until his MAJESTY had strenuously exerted himself,
in conjunction with his Ally tne :sang of FRANCE, to
,iittaotiery:

ration and temper have, therefore, guided his MA-
jEsTy's Councils on this momentous occasion, and
we have no doubt that the same wisdom in council,
and energy in action, which have so long pre-eminently
distinguished this country,m aongst the nations of the
world, will now shine, forth conspicuously.; and that
cheat Britain will again prove herself to be the faithful

friend of her allies, and the guardian of the rights and
liberties of mankind.
We shall abstain from any anticipation of the views
and intentions of the Crown, which will be fully ex-
plained by the KING'S AIiIIiSICIS this afternoon•

The following Regiments have received orders for
immediate embarkation for Portugal :
One Battalion Grenadier Guards.
One Battalion Third Guards.
Four Troops of 10th Hussars.
Do. do. 12th Lancers.
4th Foot.
Ist Battalion 60th Foot.
63d Foot.
Two Regiments from Ireland and a detachment of Artillery.

General Sir HENRY CLINTON, G.C.8.; with
Major
Generals Sir HENRY BOUVERIE, Sir THOS. AR'

The Cavalry to be commanded by Col. WYNDHAM.

MUSTER OF THE GUARDS FOR PORTUGAL.
This morning the 2d battalion of the 3d Regiment
of Foot Guards, under the command of Col. BOWATER,
were mustered in the Bird-cage Walk, St. Jantes'"
Park, for the purpose of proceeding on their rmite
for Portugal. The battalion will leave London to
morrow morning at 5 o'clock, and are expected to em-
bark at Portsmouth on • Friday next. The soldiers
appeared in high spirits on the occasion, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed amongst them.
The Ist battalion of the Ist regiment of Grenadiers
have also received orders to hold themselves in readi-
ness on Friday morning, for the same destination.
