We have seldom seen indignation and sorrow
more strongly marked than it was to-day on the counte-
nances of the Portuguese merchants, in sneaking of the
tragic accounts received from Oporto. The catastrophe
itself, owing to the late symptoms of lenity shown by M-
auer., was wholly unexpected, and the victims being all of
a certain rank in life, as well as extensively connectel in
this country, there is scarcely one of our Portuguese I esi-
dents who has not to deplore in the event the loss of a
friend or a relation. The injustice in this case, t4ey re-
mark, is far greater than that :Mending. the executions at
Lisbon, for that the sufferers at Oporto had all committed
the acts for Which they have been put to death, while the
eonstitution, nominally at least, was still in existence, and
at a time when in fact they would more justly have de-
served punishment had they acted otherwise. Many of
the Portuguese actually shed tears in adverting to the un-
happy fate which has befallen their friends.
