11.11SST4ANCE OF:MR. CANNING'S ANSItyR.

" Mr. Consul-General, and Gentlemen, This unexpected
testimony of your goockVill k peculiarly gratifying to my
feelings; I 'had.hot presumed to flatter Myself that toy slvirt
residence at Lisbon, and the still shutter period during which
I have,..had adieial dutiei to discharge, Could bare enabled nisi
to entitle myself to the expression either of your regrets, or
of your npprobation.
" Undue any circumstances, Gentlemen, I runst have re-
visited England in the coulee of the itresent sot ing. the true
being arrived at wlkielt I engaged with. my Constituents to
resume that Parliamentary duty, front which their conside-
ratelindneschail allowed me a temporary release.
'' lint if 1 feel any concern that my official existence here
was not prolonged by the return of the Prince Regent of Per,
Inge!, it is mainly for the saki of your interests.
" It would, indeed, have been a great satisfaetion to me to
terminate, by direct eauminnivation with the Sorereion Air
thority satins Kingdom„those petty .but vexations questions
of which it is in vain to seek the adjustment either I in a
reference of thousatatil of miles, or by discussion with a dele-
gated Government.
4, Had that opportunity arisen, I should have been found by
you not unmindful of the assurance which I gave to you when
I had the honour of receiving you last year, that
male your tights and privileges the object of in.et serious
eunsideration. Neither will yon, lam sure,
been wanting to that consideration when I ,:it o
upon the best opinion which I have been to font,
upon a cetnplieated and difficult subject, regm.,l ini4st,ne had
in all such queStions to the circumstances Rini chArM;ter of this
times in which we live, as well as the times in .whith Oust
prieileges were granted...that jt wiauld be unwise (as well as
invidious) to insist in your behalf at the present day on any
thing which: is become obsolete and useless, while on the
,n'ther hand, no exertion should be 'emitted to Atein the con.
titillation to you of whatever is essentially just andlolidly
• 0‘ In this 'spirit it is that I haVe uniformly framed the re•.
monstrance* and representations which I have had occasion
to' make to the local Government, and I am• persuaded. (and
I have lost no. opportunity of inculcating that persuasion)
that after the return of the Prince Regent, all disputed points
may be set tit vel by an arrangement At once tcfcsintageoits to
British interests in Portugal, aud what is mist materiat tor
the permanency of any such arrangement, oenisietent with
the honour of the Portuguese with the protec-
tion of its fait commerce, and even with the improvement of
its legitimate revenue.
‘ll thank you, Gentlemen, for the good wishes both of st
pilhlic and private nature with which you are pleased to tics
company my return to England;—yon' may be assured th 4
you do are no more than Justice in believing, that in
tvtiui-
ever situltios, 1 shall always look back with regard Sr tbe
interest* of this community : the office that I have titled her*
Jetport* this upon me.atta a 'duty. which the rcurelion-Illi"
have experienced here will misit' must g„tatitful to me lit
