" Your Excellency—The situation of our long fron•
tier towards Portugal, which is immediately adjacent
to the theatre of the civiLdissensions which have unhap-
pily broken out in that vountrysincettho deutb of King
John-VL of repeatable and pacific memory,' has seri-
ously engaged the attention el d .Kiag out Sovereign.
His Msiyeary, firmly resolved to peewee, his !kingdom
(fermi, eve, thing Mitt. might mopes* tate, attliefik.••
piece in &roger. hie own sallnip. the dignity sad the
independence of his Crown,the fundamental 1104
timate order of his monarchy, and sully the *mak
honour, has thought proper to order the internal men'
sures• most proper-to attain so important an end, which
constitutes the great intent of his sovereignty in the
Government which Theme PaotrlDeNna hascommitted
to his paternal. care. Conformably to his sovereign in-
tentions, the principal military points of the frontier
have just been reinforced, by seeding to them the ne•
cessary garrisons, by organizing in e uniform matinee
every thing that is requisite for their defence, and by
giving to those garrisons the indispensable support of a
corps of observation, stationed on our internal line of
the, Tagus, and which, placed under the command in
chief of Lieutenant General Don Pedro Sarsfield, unites
is its ranks the military virtues of the recent campaigns
of fidelity, and those of the six years' war.
The. King. not contented with all these measures.
which are rieorously necessary, and purely preventive
and precatstionary, has thought fit in his august fore-
sight, that it was worthy of the frankness and- the probity
of the Spanish character, to order me to make knows
that part of the instructions given to the Generals comb
manding upon the frontiers, which may have reference
to objects of more general interest.
di They are literally Is follows : That, in consequence of
these important considerations—those which have been
mentioned above...his Majesty has the most lively desire
to maintain the relations of amity which unitebim with
his august Allies, and ensure their inviolability, by
-means calculated to secure reciprocal confidence. -
" That of all these means, none is more indispensable
than that of observing neutrality by abstaining from'
interfering in any hostile acts or co-operation against
Portugal, so as not to sonspromise himself either with
.at country or with its Ally, England ; that to suffer
any hostile force to remaioassmabled in arms on the
Spanish territory would be acting in.a manner contrary
to those principles, and consequently hazarding the
dignity and the constant and proverbial good faith el
the noble and elevated Spanish character, to Apron
and chastise every revolutionary act, every andogimis
attemptwhich should manifest itself upon our frontier;
to protect that frontier, and to observe the neighboariag
country; such is, in substance, the basis of the instrao.
tions communicated to the Generals who commanded
there. His Majesty, therefore, uniting his wishes to
those of his august Allies, is fully persuaded that the
best means of rendering the benefits of a long peace solid
and durable, consists precisely in the efficaciousness of
the measures of precaution, which secure for the future,
and will guarantee the tranquillity happily existing
in the interior of the kingdom, by preserving it from
all hostile contagion.
" His Majesty recollects, in fact, and he could not
forget, that in the same manner as the first idea that
we had in Spain of the establishment of a-new Govern-
ment in Portugal coincided almost sinsultaneously.wids
the numerous and daily emigration of Portuguese corps.
and of persons of different classes, who arrived by dif-
ferent points from that country, so as absolutely to ex-
dude the possibility of any provocation ea the part of'
Spain ; so the first signal.of the criminal attempts which
the innovations in Portugal excited in the minds of re-
bellious Spaniards, was the act by which two Officers
and some individuals induced 115 men of the 4th Re-
giment of Light Cavalry seditiously to desert with their
arms and horses to the Portuguese territory.
" The numerous documents collected in the office of
the department confided to me, and from which I have
drawn the narrative which his Majesty has ordered me
to make of these events, would furnish the more fully
convincing proof of the ardour and exalted sentiments of
the emigrated Portuguese soldiers, which equalled, if
ey did not surpass, those of their officers—undoubt.
edly an interesting situation, in which the fire of despair
might have been kindled by the very means that might
have been contrived to attain a contrary result.

(In
" His Majesty sees himself under the painful neces-
sity of ordering an active and strict surveillance in
homier provinces, where dangerous thoughts and coa
unications might be propagated, and foment projects
of revolt, and where, as in Estremadura and Anda-
lusia, stronger repressive measures must be employed,
because they are erposed to the double iniluenceef the
machinations which might be contrived, either in Por-
tugal or at Gibraltar, in which place were organized,
and from which issued, those bands of rebels who
were destroyed almost a.; soon as they landed, at Ta-
rift, Almeira, and Guadamar. '
" In consequence of these Circumstances, the kind of
I tendency to a state of moral -hostility which changes
effected in Portugal may have produced, seriously and
'constantly occupies the attention of his Majesty, with
the, view to labour to prevent consequences, the possi-
bility of which, perhaps, would not be sufficiently
averted by the occupation of some points of Portugal
by the English troops, by those troops which belong to
as magnanimous a t;overeign, and to a nation which,
et an epoch still recent, participated in the dangers and
glOry of the Spanish people, in combating a vio
butt and:silegitimate usurpation. His Majesty has also
foreseen the extraordinary expenses which such mea-
sures tender necessary at the moment when he is exert-1
ing I.i. chn't ;tit solicitude in the reduction of the public
Pexpendituee, and the improvement of the admiaisuasion.
But if he has thought at to .order that these expenses

d'Arband longues, and the Charge d'Affaires of Prance,
received by express dispatches froqt, their Governnrreni t
they contained an order for theStViss brigadit9 fesie

On the 10th, the Charge-d'Affaires and the oeneral
communicated the disputes they had receilid,One of
them to M. Salmon, the other to M. de Zambranb. The
two Minister) were at that moment attending the Coe-
cii, at which the Infant Don Carlos presided. Thby
proceeded in search of them thither. The Prince learning
tpeneture'of the communication. broke up the meeting.
liii Maks* *as immediately acquainted with the
approaching departure of the Swiss brigade.
In the afternoon of the same day the Ministers re-
assembled, and M. d'Offalia, who has not yet quitted,
was summoned to this Council.

It is affirmed that the following night his Majesty bad
a long conference with the French General, ih the pre-
segue of M. Salmon, at the close of which a courier was
dispatched to Paris.
The news of the departure of the Swiss has not pro-
duced any disagreeable sensation in Madrid; minds were
prepared for it there. It was known that, bince.the 24th
of last month, the order had arrived for the departure
of this brigade; and, if it had been suspended, it was
merely to wait the reply to a letter addressed by oar
Monarch to his uncle, the King of France. We place
much confidence here in the good intentions of his Most
Christian Majesty towards us; but it is presumed that
M. de Villele will so manage matters that the seep taken
_by our King will produce no effect. kis generally
believed at Madrid, that there exists an understanding
on the subject of Spain between the Prime Minister of
France and Mr. Canning, and that the French Ministers
en this point, fias no other will than that of the British
Minister.

In other respects the position of our Government in-
spires the Spanish nation with no uneasiness ; it knOws
that its Sovereign has acted, in whatsoever regards
Portugal, with frankness and honesty; and it is pie-
pared to second his energetic views. We wait the resblt
without any apprehension. General Cavajal repeated
yesterday, that at the first signal, 500,000 Royalists,
well armed, would flock to defend the interests of the
King, and the independence of the country. Every
mind swelled with indignation when it was known that
the British Cabinet had the audacity to demand tfiat
Badajon, Olivenza, Ciudad Rodrigo, Bantona, and other
places, should be delivered up to it as pledges of Our
future conduct. It is England, not Spain, that owes
guarantees to Europe for its present conduct, ancrits
ulterior projects.
It appears that the Swiss will quit Madrid only by
divisions: the first will commence its march to-day, and
the last will not leave till the 17th.

It is asserted with confidence, that Mr. Lamb waits
only the return of a courier be has dispatched to London
to demand his passports. The menacing tone of this
ambassador gave us reason to believe that he would
have quitted Madrid as soon as be was certified of the
disembarkation of the English troops in Portugal. Gen.
Clinton is at Lisbon, and Mr. Lamb is still at Madrid.
Why? Because his removal would be the signal for the
entry of our troops into Portugal:the expedition already
so weak, already surrounded by numerous enemies, and
possessing only the spot upon which they tread, would
be subjected to some other embarrassments, if 22,000
Spaniards marched against them. This is what detains
Mrs Lamb: be can see from Madrid what Mr. Canning
has nit perceived from London.
The day before yesterday, all the Inspectors General,
and Directors of the troops of all arms, were summoned
before the Minister of War, to arrange the necessary
means of putting in execution a royal decree for the
levy of 24,000 men. It was decided, that only 12,000
men should be raised at first. The Royalist volunteers' of
Madrid are about to be completely new clothed.
The English army disembarked at Lisbon has brought
out some Perkins's guns and some Congreve rockits.
The Portuguese Royalists do not possess, it is true,
similar means of destruction; but their bomber •is
60,000. Since the arrival of the English, Ilia regiments,

PARIS, J•■. al.

We stated some days since, that the various move-
Aleuts of the Constitutional troops of Portugal had for
their object the concentration of these troops on San-
tarem, where they would make a last effort to dispute
with the Royalists the approach so Lisbon. Our con-
jectures seem to be realized. At least we read what
fullows in the Eche du Midi:
According to a letter, of a very recent date, from
Ciudad Rodrigo, written by a well informed person, it
is reported that the Royalists have had a very smart
action with the Constitutional troops near San. a. em, of
which they are masters, having been completely vic-
torious. The same letter states, that after this victory,
which is regarded as important) the Royalist troops,
forming three divisions, were gradually advancing in
the country.
It is well known that Santarem is only fifteen leagues
from Lisbon, and that it is also the only military posi-
tion which is found in advance of that capital.

LISBON, Jaa. 6. 1
The grit sitting of the Chamber of Peers, was set
*part to the preparatory acts for holding the ordinary
Session *or the Cortes for the year 1827. The Mar-
quis de Palmella had written to the Chambers to ex-
press his regret that he could not assemble with his
colleagues, as he continued to exercise the functions of
Ambassedor inEngland. The first sitting of the Chamber
of Deputies was likewise set apart for preparatory ope-
rations. In the sitting of the 4th, the Chamber of De-
puties adopted definitively the projet of a law, in eight
articles, fixing the amount of the Civil List, and the
. appointment of the allowances for the Members of the
Royal Family. This project was pissed without any al-
teration, and the Chamber sanctioned the whole of the
proposal which had been made by the Special Finance
Committee upon the report of the Minister. The projet
gave rise to a very interesting discussion. Deputy Monies
barmento expressed an opinion that it was necessary to
postpone fixing the amount of the Civil List, until the
period when Donna Maria 11. should be de fado seated
on the throne of Portugal ; seeing that Don Pedro IV.
had not yet ceased to be King of the Portuguese, and
that, in fist, all their acts continued. and would con-
tinue, to go forth in his name, until all the conditions
which h:s Majesty had annexed to his eventual abdica-
cation had been fulfilled. Amongst these conditions,
• was the marriage (o ado do (=tomato), which was by
no me ins to be confounded with the betoothment (ocoa-
ilrado d esponsais) The orator insisted, taking up this
line of arguii.ent, that the existing Cortes had no power
to fix the amount of the Civil List of the Queen, and that
they would commit an act of usurpation upon the prero-
Rader, of the Chamber s,which were to be assembled after
het arrival in Europe, and after her being actually seated
on tie Throne of Poi tugal. This opinion was warmly
-sup,roi ted by the Deputies Maia, Cacaos), Alberto, Mo-
ved ), and Machado ; and was 'opposed by Baron de
Sobral, Herm.no, the Minister of Finance, and the
Deputies Mozinho, Soarers, Carvalho, Fortes, and Ma-
.gelhaes. The latter brought to the support of their
'opinions a very remarkable circumstance, that the
'payment of the allowance to tl.e Queen, according to
the fit st at title of the projer, was to date only from the
•doy of her arrival in the kingdom; and that the tax, in
'Otis point of view, was to be looked on as conditional,
as well as the abdication, although considerations of
spres.ing expzdiency did not admit of the adjournment
-of the miner. A great number of the Members of the
Chamber took the opportunity of the discussion of the
projet, to testify the national gratitude to the Princess
Regent.
A Decree of the Princess Regent notifies numerous
promotions amongst the superior officers of the army.—
The Marquis d'Angeji, Stubbs, the Viscount de Beira,
and Baron Albufeira, Major Generals, are raised to the
rank of Lieutenant Generals. Count Francisco de Bar-
bacena, the Marquis de Torres Novas, Count de Villa
Flor, who were Brigadiers, with the rank of Major
Generals, are raised to the rank of Major Generals.
Every day some large transports, loaded with English
troops of every description, whose disembarkation con-
tinues without interruption, enter our roads. Seventy-six
pieces of field artillery have been landed. The whole of
this assemblage of British forces, appears much too
great if it be only destined to act against the rebels under
the Marquis de Chaves. Our English allies continue to
receive, on their landing, the most encouraging and
fl .tterins reception from the inhabitants of the capital.
An English brigade is about to set out to occupy the
fortress of Elvas, on the frmtiers of Spain, and an Eng.
fish garrison has taken possession of the Castle of Fox,'
which commands the entrance into the harbour, and
the city of Oporto. For 'some days no bulletins have
been published concerning our military operations.—
Yesterday at mid-day, the English and Spanish Am-
bassadors had a long conversation at the Office for
Foreign Affairs, with the Minister Francisco D'Almeida.
* It appears that some newly discovered and very Seri-
, ous facts, more and more lay open the bad faith and du-
plicity of the Spanish Government, and it is evident that
things have come to such a point, that, without the inter.
vention of something like a miracle, a violent rupture is
• inevitable. A report is current that a part of the Eng-
• lish squadron is to leave the Tagus for the purpose of
cruising in the Mediterranean, off the Belearic isles. It
is supposed that if the war breaks out the English army
will occupy, as they did in the war of independence, that
point, so important in a military point of view, by the
facilities and connection which it gives to Corfu, Malta,
G hraltar, and Lisbon.
The English man of war, the Romney, Capt. Lock.
yet, the Pyramus frigate, Captain Sartorius, and the
seam vessel, the Duke of York, left this port on the 4th,
for Gibraltar. Two other English ships of the line set
sail yesterday in the same direction.
An English sloop of war has just arrived with troops
on board, and other vessels are telegraphed, which will
enter the Roads today or to•morrow..
This evening there will be an extraordinary represen-
tation at the lheatre St. Charles, to hail the arrival of
the Allied troops. At the end of the first act, a portrait
of Don Pedro IV. will be exhibited, and the Constitu-
tional Hymn will be sung. It has been remarked that
the military bands of the English troops play, by prefer-
ence, the tune of this Hymn for the march of the soldiers.

The Illvventent /Ovate departure of the Syria bri-
gade ramtnencal to-dey, and will be completed on the
14th.--The ordet foriemoving this brigade strived on'
the 9th, in the morning. it boon beeahle known, and
it would be impossible to describe the sensation it
caused. I shall only obserVe that the two parties
into which we are divided art *ell plearkl at the depar-
ture of the French troops; the Apostolicals, because
they believe they will nestbe able to crush the Liberals ;
and the Liberals, because dtsy reckon on soon settling
their account witlp the Royalists, when the latter are
no longer supporffid by trench bayoneti.
As to our Government, as soen as the French Charge
d'Affaires offieially notified the departure of the Sivas
troops, the Council of Ministers were immediately as-
sembled, as well as the Counsellors of State, tile Duke
of 'planted°, the Archbishop of Toledo, Gen. Castaaos,
and Count Benadito. Count d'Offelia was also sum-
monad to this meeting, which continued doting five
hours without interruption. The object was to endea•
your to stop the march of the Swiss brigade, and to
renew the negociations for retaining it ; but the orders
for the departure of the Swiss being quite positive, the
associations of M. d'Offalia, as well as the interview of
General d'Arband-Jouques with the King, who sent for
him several times, had no result.
The Regiments of the Guard which remained hereon
the 9th, and which were to have marched next day for
Talairera, had received orders to suspend their de-
parture; and the Court, which was to have gone the
day before yesterday to the Prado, is still in Madrid.
England complains that our Government does not
adhere to the promises recently made in its official
notes, and that on the Ist of January, the Governor of
Ciudad Rodrigo delivered to commissaries from the
Marquis de Chaves, tea pieces of cannon, with their
caisoons and ammunition.

The Portuguese Government appeals to direct a con.
siderable part of its force towards Spanish Estremadura.
Accordingly, it is the division advancing on that part of
our frontiers which marches the most rapidly, and all
the regiments composing it are already at their posts, or
on the point of taking up their positions. In general
everything here indicates war.
An extraordinary courier, arrived at the General In-
tendency of Police, announces that an old Constitutional
band has re-appeared stronger than ever, in the mown•
tains of Ronda, and that in the waters of Stepan and
Marvella several vessels have been seen, which appear
to intend to make debarkations.
