Yesterday evening thel substance of the
gence brought by the Cosmorama gun-brig was cif_
culatcd among the friends of Adruinitration in the
following

sons in Lisbon, who had been taken up for having
betrayed a disposition to revolt against theAlociErines
of the French on their first entrance into Lisbot. The
Patriots, it is, said, had protested against the life of
LARCIADE being saved. BIIRDIARDINE FRIERS iS a Gent-
ral of most distinguished mtrit ; he served under Ge-
neral FOR= at Rossilon : on the entry of the French
he resigned his commission in the Portuguese army,
and refused to serve ih that of France. Every Patriot
in Portugal wears a cockade, which has this inscription
" F.7r D'Ar Prince Regent, and revenge against our enentiee;"
the women and children wear a black crape, on which
is the wcrd ngeance !" Those who refuse to wear
this insignia are considered traitors. Two hundred
thousand pounds, part of the exacted contribution
of the French, in Oporto, bad been discovered and
secured by the Provisional Government, in the house
of .10'.;E: DE 801:7..t HELLO. Other large sums had
been secured in two other houses, raised by similar
exactioas. .At St. Übe's, the Patriots had put to
ichavb upwards of 500 Frenchmen ; and they had
tdetermined not to le.tN e a Frenchman aliye in the
North of Portugal. A similar massacre is said to
have taken place at Algat-ve. At Sardao, a body of
Portuguese marched eleven leagues in one day, in
very hot weather, and through the worst of roads, to
attack 90P Frenchmen ; they fell in with them and
put nearly the whole to death.
,4 A plot had been discovered, in which many of the
,Frenchitied inhabitants of Oporto were concerned;
and the city would have been burnt to ashes, butfor
a seasonable detection of the diabolical design. The
Portuguese engaged in the plot had all been arrested,
and were expected to be tried and executed in a few
days.
The Monks in Oporto had become'soldiers. Up-
wards of 1500 of them took charge of the French
prisoners, and disaffected persons, who were in con-
finement, and performed their duty with zeal and

alacrity.
“ Several Proclamations had been issued, all tending
to inspirit the people, and exhorting them to extirpate
the enemy of the human race."

Two Delegates have arrived from Portugal by the
Angelica. They came for the same purpose which
brought the Spanish Deputies, and the same motives
urge, of course, an acquiescence in their wishes. The
Portugue e Deputies brought letters to Mr. WARR!,
. the late British Consul at Oporto, and to several re-
spectable mercantile houses, upon whom they bad
credit. They were introduced by Mr. WA.RRE to the

Foreign Office.
By this vessel printed Journals have been received
from Oporto. This is indeed a novelty. The first
newspaper ever printed there was that of the 6th inst.
from•which the following is a translation :

OPORTO, JULY 6.
By THZ AIITBORITT 01 COV..RNMETIT.
In the name of the Prince Regent.
The most important occurrence that could elevate the Nation
to glory and dignity was reserved for our days, which will servo
to transmit to posterity the illustrious name of the heroic Portu-
guese, and to note in the records of this fine and opulent city the
immortal epoch of its restoration, and that she gave the alarm to
the whole kingdom. The most cordial love to the best of Princes,
stimulated all hearts in Portugal, to oppose the most unjust and
most scandalous usurpation. The moat unlimited "oppressions,
the violation of all rights, and the absolute disrespect of die most
sacred duties, armed every inhabitant to shake off the tyrannic
yoke that oppressed them. But the Dispenser of Empires had
reserved to this City the prerogative of leading the way, and of sti-
mulating by its example every body to emancipate this Kingdom.
For this purpose he rallied amongst as persons of genius, resolu-
tion, and vigour, capable of achieving so illustrious a purpose.
The fatal day that deprived us of our awful Sovereign, whom the
Hand of the Omnipotent has preserved from the Wicked One,
who persecuted him, orened the way to the most disastrous
events, which, after having over-run the Continent with misery,
desolation, and death, were about to effect the complete destruc-
tion of our happy Peninsula, perfidy, simulation, and a combi-
nation of all artifices being the forerunners of this operation and
tyranny—violence and the most daring ambition, its followers
of that monstrous man, the. produce of the cruel revolutions,
which, for these nineteen ye:.rs, has upset so many thrones, and
ruined so many people ; who has made a traffic in kingdoms
i and in men; who has put on the mask of religion the more im-
pudently to profane it; who has displayed to advantage all sorts
of crimes, without being impeded by the least glimpse of mom-
! lity, or kept back by remorse ; that celebrated Napoleon, whom
vile flattery and its followers, or, with more propriety, whom
the fear of his tyrannies, has raised to the most elevated unmerited
titles; after having announced by his representative, Juoot, to
I our desolate nation, that he would protect us, dered to conceive
in his illusive ideas, end to utter without a blush " That the
House of Braganca had ceased to reign in Portugal." Unthinking
man ! What right, what convention authorises this iniquity and
usurpation I Who constituted Napoleon the Univeral Tutor of
Kings and of Nations ? Who devolved on him the succession of
Thrones wrested by his tyranny from their legitimate possessors?
Whe entrusted him with that extraordinary and famous Prow-
tion which authorises the spoliation of private property, and the
trampling under foot of all rights and privileges that destroys aid
confounds all order.? The most manifest hatred arose in the hearts
of the Nation, on Its observing the accumulation of injustice and
barbarity, with the most scandalous indecency; then began the
Ciliate of protection to dissolve 1 Forty million of cruzadoes were
.llavied en this unhappy country as an extraordinary contribution
sif war, a country which the absence of its beloved Prince, the
'invasion by numerous troops, the total stagnation of commerce,
and the discouragement of industry and arts, hid reduced to the
greatest distress: bet this is not all : those 40,000,000 were for
the redemption of all private property how had this been for-
feited ? Was it by pur unbounded patience in e: ffering their ex-
toe/ions ? By cbodoeility with which their It'arcl and oppressive
Itaise we borne t by the meekness with which we received our
tyrants Posterity --soU !pray believe their impudence, and that
