3Qu0,,t,: The Editor of The ...taro do Lu:sitatiiii,
Paper of the 15th, says, t' It was oar intention not
staut ttte pages of. our Journal, which. is entirety de-stin-
kflp-fotn the politic opiitions, with an- ttect.ttnt of the itot-
ril4le events of the tills, which we consider as the termina•
Cron of the glorious. period of our COnStitiltiffil. lVe will
show, in the face of Europe,:and of the whole world, not only
our disapprobation, lint the illeeatity of all that has hero
dote; being certain that our sentiments are conformable to
thew of all the inhabitants of this 'capital—and with those of
WI the inhabitants of the provinces—when they shall learn
wPtat passed at Lisbon on the memorable day of the l lOC—
(This writer here observes, that as the letter of the Jud4e-to
the General appears tO have beetathe fitundatiatt of the affair,
it is better to ailairess his remonstrance to the said Judge,
which be noes at great length.). •
The- Editor of The Pertugwese Cons!itationel says—" That
as the Spanish Constitution is declare:l to be establishied in
Portugal, till Puringnese.liare now the liberty of writiug,
printing, and publishing their political ideas, withtiot any
provision, censorship, revisiou, or approbation; and he
accordingly proceeds to make rise of this liberty, by delrvel-
iog, an indignant and elegant protest ages nst these illegal and
dangerous pr ceedings.'t
7'he Constitutional Minerva expressed similar sentiments.
The li;ditoe of The ,-/sieu do Lisit,inia also addres•ed an
elegant and respectful letter on the subject to Gen. Textura.
All these, _doubtless, contributed to the counter-revolution,
as it tot, be called, which took place on the. tSt h. Oil that
day General Texeira wrote a letter to the Government,- in
which he says, the Officers of the GarrisM) and of the army
under his command had appointed him Commander inChief
of the arrived fOree against his will, and would not even let
him write a note to the. Sopreme Government; slating the
reason which obliged hint not to accept this nomination; he
therefore begs his Excellency, M. J. Dias AzetlO, to state to
the Supreme Government, that besides his want of aXperienee
for so hizli an office, he has such powerful motives to be ex-
coed, that he can by no me•rus accept and exercise this office.
He received fr eel y -flattering answer. t -
