Iu the 'mearttlftle,•as independent States, the Allied Powers-
•may aivali-en, through their respective Missions at Nladtid, with
not less effect than would attend any joi"t ruprtsentatioo, a sa-
' lutary apprehension of the consequences that thi?.!ii be produced
by any violence offered to the King's prison or family, or by,
,bony hostile measures directed against the Portuguese dominions
in Europe, for the protection of which Great Britain is bound •
by specific treaty.
kln conveying any such intimation, however, the utmost deli-
cacy should he observed ; and though it is to he presumed that
~the views and wishes of all the Allied Powers must be essen-
the wile, and that the sentiments they are likely to ex-
press cannot materially differ, it does nut follow that t Ley should
speak either In their corporate character, or through any coin-
mon organ—hotlt which expedients would be calculated rather
to offend, than to conciliate or persuade.
'lhere can he no doubt of the general danger which menaces,
more or less, the staHlity of all existing Gorcrnmenis, front the
principles which are aft..,at, and from the circumstances that so
many States of Europe are now employed in the difficult task of
casting anew their Governments upon the representative princi-
ple; but the notion of revising, limiting, or regulating the course
of such experiments, either by foreign ct.tiecil or by foreign
force, would be as dialerous to avow, as it would he impossible
to ezetute) and the illusion too prevalent on this subject,
should not be encouraged in our intercourse with the Allies.=
That circumstances might arise out of such experiments in any
country direCtly menacing to the safety of other States, cannot
be denies], and against such a danger, well ascertained, the Al-
lies may. justifiably, and must. in all prudence, be on -their
guard; but such is not the present case. Fearful as is the ex-
ample which is furnished by Spain, of an army in revolt, and a
Monarch swearing to a Constitution which contains in its frame
hardly the semblance of a Monarchy, there is no ground for
apprehension that Europe is likely to be speedily endangered by
Spanish arms.

In this alliance, as in all other human arrangements, nothing
is more likely to impair, or even to destroy its real utility, than
any attempt to 'push iti duties and its obligations beyond the
sphere which its original ci.tiception and undcistond principles
will warrant. It was an union for the re-conquest and libera-
tion of a great proportion of the Continent of _Europe from the
military dominion of France; and having subdued the conqueror,
it took the state of possession, as established by the Peace, under
the protection of the Ailizece. It never was, however, intended
as an union for Coe government of the world, or for the super-
intendence of the internal affairs of other States.
• • •

We shall be found in our place when actual danger menaces the
system of Etirort.; but this country cannot, and wid not, act upon
abstract and slicculatiye principles of precaution. The alliance
which exists had no such purpose in view in its original formation.
ft was never so explained to Parliament ; if it had, most assuredly
the sanction of Parliament would never have been given to it;
and it would now be a breach of faith, were the Ministers of
the Crown to acquiesce in a construction being put upon it, or
were they to suffer themselves to be betrayed into a course of
measures, inconsistent with those principles which they avowed
at the time, and which they have- since uniformly maintained
both at home and abroad.

COQ MUNICATIR MT U. DE JAITAT TO ME. SECRE-

.TARP CANNING,IIN THE 18TH FEBRUARY, 1823.
It proofs of the mode'ration of Spain, and of the little foundation
with which she is accused of following the system of propagating
het political prineiplei be required, here are three undeniable facts.
—The Junta of Oporto applies; iu 1820, fur Spanish troops ;
refused.~•The Government of .Naples, in the beginning of 1821,
makqs the sane request ; refused..--In 18'22, on the application
of France. the :trench. liefogeetr,taPtain Nantil, &c. were made
to retire Atildtry leagfies into the country, whyst the Genertds
Foga, Abres,ittc. aodthe self-named Regency were organizing'
bands of the Faith at Bayonne and Perpignan..
In 1822 we decliped the services of three French Regiments
of the Army of ObseiVation. ljp to this day, no French soldier
or peasant can be cited whom we have seduced, armed, paid,
and thrust into the bosom of his country to devastate it. We have
nut raised the tri-calor tag ; we' have not refused to publish a
generous and salutary amnesty ; we have not invited to evening
assemblies of etiquette French outlaws and conspirators; we
have not tolerated that an individual at Madrid should invest
himself publicly with the tick. of Charge d'Affaires of
the. Regency of France, whilst his Excellency M. •de La-
garde was Ambassador of his Most Christian Majesty at
the Court of his Catholic Majesty. In fine, we hays done
nothing (for these negative proofs might form too diffuse a cata-
logne)—we have done not/sing against the French of those
things which the French (that is to say the French Government),
have done against us; and we have done for the Governments
which excommunicate us, what none of them have done for us.
If there be any question of verbal or written disavowals, Eng-
land has received the most solemn disavowals on the subject of
Portugal; Austria on the subject of Italy; and- Europe, espe-
cially in the memorable Sitting.of the llth January, 1823, has
heard the Representatives of Spain declare, in appealing for the
truth of it to the'history othrrhat passed from 18th8'tts 1814; and
front 1920 to 1823, both, Ist. Thar their Country wit' neverin-
wrier* with the internal affairs of other • Powers ;, and Sally.

it is wi►hed to impose upon- hci.

GUtSt CHARGE D.AFFAIRES AT PAXISw
(Communicated by the Vtscotnte de Alarcellus to Mr. Secretary
Canning, March 7, 1823).
(Extract).
The Portuguese Government thinks proper to &Ores( ig•iinst
the principle promulgated in the Speech delivered
jesty on the 28th or January, at the opening.of the_present Ses.
sion. The King of lfr dice has a right to hold to his Progethe
language which suits them ; and it would be difeult io
stand how the Portuguese Government can take umbras* a a
Speech addressed to the Deputies of France.
If the French army should be obliged to enter Spain, the
Portuguese Charge d'Affaires will be at perfect liberty to quit
the French tell ory; in conformity to the orders he has re-
ceived from his Court.
If the French Government is forced to declare war against
:be Spanish Government, it is not to support political theories,
•but beeatise her immediate safety and her essential interests are-
compromised by the internal transactions of Spain..
France, not being in the same situation With regard to Por-
tugal, sees no plausible motive to induce the Government of his
Most Faithful Majesty to renounce the relations of peace and
friendship. France hopes that she shall not have to repel an-
unprovoked aggression, nor to maintain a defensive war, which
would have no other foundation or pretext on the part of those
who should declare it than the promulgation of a principle on
•
which the political law of France is founded.

As to future arrangements respecting the residence of Con-
suls, the French Government sees no occasion to enter into any
amingement upon that subject, because it has never been the in-
tention of his Most Christian Majesty to recall either his Charge
d'Affaires or hib Consuls from Portugal.
He will in future adopt such measures as may be consistent
with his dignity.—The undersigned, &c.
