lotte House, Surrey.—Messrs. COOPER and Co.

quest. 'Mr. Johnson, of the Borough, who had been

COUNTftTMEN:
" If, during the late alarming agitation which
roused the nations of Europe, and shook the
thrones of IVlonsaisehs, your army saved our
country an immortalized its name, this day it
has rendered itself still more deserving of public
esteem,. by raisiug us from the abyss into which
we had been plunged, and through which we had
nearly lost the name of a nation. . •
" An inconsiderate Administration, filled with
errors and vices, had brought upon us all kinds
of evils, by violating our privileges and rights,
by breakirig down our franchisee elapd liberties,
-and profauingethese praisewortlarcastorns'•which
distinauished us from the first establishment of
the Monarchy, and possibly were the most se-
cure pledges of our social virtues. • •
" The loVe of country, sacrificed to egotism,
was- no more than an. empty name in the mouths
of . those ambitious men, who. occupied the first
places in the nation, and who had no other ob-
ject in view than to .prosper amidst honour and
riches, as a reward for their crimes, and their
want of talent and experience with which they
directed the affairs of the State..
" Thus did ve unfortunately see our com-
merce disappear—our industry and agriculture
dwindle away—and' our",navy rot in our ports.
"Soon should we scarcely have• had a mer-
cantile vessel left; soon would all our navigation
have.been lost, for which we were so renowned
during the, time of our past glories, when we
visited the most remote seas, and brought back
to astonished Europe the riches of the east, as
well as those of the two worldS. •
• " The sources Of national prosperity being thus
Shut up, the ruin of . our most valuable concerns
became a necessary consequence, and 'to crown
the rest of our misfortunes, our adored Sovereign
ceased to live among us. Portuguese! From that
fatal day sve date our misfortunes ; then com-
menced our orphanage. ' Then it was we lost all,
and soon should we have lost our very name, once
so farnbus in the universe, had we not evinced
that we were still the same •by the constancy
with which we have endured so-many calamities
and miseries, and by the heroic resolution we
have this day taken.
" Our forefathers were happy, because they
lived in the glorious times when Portugal en-
joyed a Representative Government in the Cortes
of the nation, and they aclieved prodigies of va-
lour, as long as they were obedient to the laws
which the bater wisely instituted—laws which
were beneficial to all, because on• all they were
binding. Then it was they made Africa tremble,
conquered India, and astonished the Old World
by the acquisition of a new one, still mere to ex-
tend their fame. Never did religion, the throne,
and our country, before experience such impor,
tant services—never did they acquire more lustre
and solid greatness. ; but all these benefits; were
entirely derived from the Constitution ,of the
State, becaute it kept in just equilibrium and
perfeCt harinony the rights of the Sovereign and
his subjects, by converting the nation and its
chief into one family, in which all laboured for
the general felicity.
" Let us again enjoy this Constitution, a-ftal we
shall be again happy., Don Joisn VI. our adora-
ed Sovereign, boa not given it back to us, be-
cause he is ignorant of!our wishes ; but it is now
time to ask it, because the evils we endure, and
still more so those we have reason to expect, re-
'quire: a most prompt remedy.
`.` In imitation of our ancestors, let us convene
our Cortes, and expect from their wisdom and
firmness the' measures which alone can save us
from perdition, and secure our political exist-
ence. This is the will of the nation and of the
army ; thus expressed, and this expression aids
the attainment, already too long. delayed through
timidity or disunion among the lovers of their
country. On the glorious field of Qtirigne, the
Army raises its voice and a Monarchy appears.
This day, in the cradle of Portugal,. the Army
raises its voice, and saves from destruction and
ruin this precious deposit confided to its care,
and so long sustained by the valour of their invin-
cible arm..
" Portuguese ! The step yeti have just taken
towardi 'your fitture felicity was necessary and
even indispensable, and your unfortunate sitoa-
tion fully justifies your proceeding. Be-not, there-
fore, afraid, for most assuredly you -commit no trea-

ever made to last for ever, and the example of our
neighbours suffices to set your minds at 'are.
The world is well aware',that our alelibera-

against the august House of Braganzit: on the

Some persons have thought that the great and
glorious work of our restoration was caused by'
the influence of some passion or towards
the English Officers in the service of Portugal,
and Olaf. we have much to fear from the British
nation, offended at our proceedings—wt. ,ripply to
