the characteristic of the subjects of his said Majesty,
conceived the detestable and horrible design of. a re.

of Regenerating annuli, furnishing themselves for this
purpose with diplomas on parchment, with the deno-

thod for the acquisition of associates, with printed
Proclamations, having the signature of Regenerating
auneil, full of infamous and seditious expressiods,
with some very little tables in Bvo. to note in them
the number of the persons convoked for this in-
famous conspiracy; as also with the donations which
they gave for this end, and with sheets of paper,
which were the models for the form of the correspon.

tion of the Emissaries, who were to be sent to the
Provinces for the engaging of associates, and which
were delivered to two Emissaries a little before the

OM I acquainted with it more or less circumstan-

lars, as is here below.specified in respect to each of
them. It appears in regar to the accused Jose Joa-
quim Pinto d Silva, in hisViterrogatories in the Ap-
pendix No. 7, chat he confesses in his answers to the
second interrogatory, and declares, under oath, the
existence of the Association of Conspirators, in the
following manner :That visiting Colonel Manoel
Monteiro de *Carvallio, when he was sick, he con-
versed on the plans and new regulations for the army;
the said deponent discoursing on the absurd policy of
the division of Portugal in three parts, and the in-
Buence of foreign nations and of the English in Lis-
bon, the said Munteiro declaring that it was neces-
sary to tn.lce opposition to this plan ; that the ac-
cused withdrawing, and retuining in a few days after
to the house of the said Colonel Monteiro, the latter
proposed to him that he should associate for th-e pro-
posed end, and that he should confer with Jose ltiberio
Pinto; that he accepted the association, and that he
made him acquainted with the associates, Jose Cam
pars de Miranda, the Major Jose Francisco das Neves,.
Antonio Cabral C ilheiros, and Henrique Jose Gar.
tie de Moraes, and that the said Colonel Monteno
and Jose Riberio Pinto declared to him that Comes
retire was at the head of the association ; that
he saw in the hotise of the said Henriqae Jose
Garcia printed proclamations similar to that which
was shewn him, and he confessed that lie was pre-
sent in the house of the said Henrique at the recep-
tion of two associates presented by the .aid Cabral,
with the assistance of the said Hentique and of
Jose Riberio Pinto ; that lie proposed to Colonel
Monteiro and Jose Riberio Pinto, for the Society,
Manoil de Jesus Munteiro, and that the latter agree-
ing, was by him presented in the house, No. .51,
of the Rua de Sso Binto, belonging to the said
He.irique, who, and also Jose Riberiu Pinto, were
present ; he the accused serving as secretary in the
act of administering the oath in which' Maniol de Je-
sus Monteiro offered his life to the association fur the
establishment of a Constitutional King, and not of
a Republic ; that he the accused knew for certain
that the following were members of the association :
Colonel Monteiro, Jose Riberio Pinto, Major Jose
Francisco das Neves, Jose Campello, Anttinio Ca-
bral Calheiros, Henriqne Jose. Garcia, Manoil de
Tents Monteiro, and two others; that hue begged
• Colonel Monteiro and Jose Ribero Pinto, that Le the
accused might be presented to Gumes Friere, but
that he never obtained this; he declares that the
printing press was bought by AritonioCabral Calhei-
ros, with money received from Jose Riberio Pinto,
and that the latter worked at it with the said Hen-
rique in the house of this last, No. 51, Rea de Sao
Binto; that he, the accused, saw more than a hun-
dred proclamations printed to be sent into the provin-
ces, to be distributed on the occasion of. the explo
sion; he declared further, that there were three
Commissioners—Antonio Cabral Calheiros for San-
, tarim ; another for the province of Beira; and Juse
Riberio Pinto for Oporto and its province; who told
t.s him the accused, that he was going to establish
new Commissions ; and in the third examination he
confessed that the MSS libels against the Marshal-
General, concerning which he was questioned, were
made by. Jose Riberio Pinto, and fixed up by Jose
Campello de Miranda, and one by him the accused,
in the Church of St. Paul ; and the accused. in his
answers to the fourth interrogatory, said, that the
Association had its commencement in the month of
February this year: and that he, the accused was in-
formed of it in the beginning of March.
It appears, in respect to the accused, Jose Cam-
pello de Miranda, that he confesses, in his answers
• to the•Bist examination, Appendix, No. 8, alter
havinrat fir.t denied, that on the Gth day of May
t its year, he was in the house of Jose ltiberio Pinto,
for the reception of two associates, which on this oc-
casion he verified ; and he declared upon oath. that
in Easter this year, be received a message from Co.l
Monteiro, delivered by Jose Joaquim Pinto da Silva,
Ensign of the Regiment of Infantry, No. 4 ; in con.'
• sequence of which, going to the house of Col. Mon-
. teiro, the conversation turned against the Marshal-
General, against the new military regulation ; the
said Colonel Monteiro concluding his usual absurd
declamations by saying, shat it was necessary to kill
and get rid of the said Marshal-General ; and that,
fur this purpose he formed an Association. of Friends
called the Provincial Council, which laboured with
the greatest efforts to that end, ilia that by his ef-
forts he counted with the troops (this sentence is to
me obscure, T.) and proposed to hirer, the accused,
to enter into the Association, refuting the objections
which the accused made; that he, the accused, went
another time to the house of the said Colonel Moo-
teiro, persuaded by Jose Riberio Pinto, and making
a third visit to the same house, there being present
the said Colonel Monteiro, Jose Riberio Pinto, and
Major Jose Francisco das Naves, he, the accused,
joined the Association, not binding himself by an
. oath, but promising secrecy, and to engage asp-
cities, and accepting the mission for his province;
'that
he did not invite any persod in this city, and he
declared to be Associates the. said Colonel Monteiro,
Jose Riberio Pinto, Major Neves, Jose Joaquim Pinto
da Silva, and Antonio Cabral Calfseiros. He decla-
• red in his answers to the second interrogatory, and
by hearsay to the points related in the first interroga-
tory, that the Architect and others, he knew were
Associates, but that he was ignorant who were the
members of the Regenerating Society: that be saw
-. in the hand of Jose Riberio Pinto the Proclaniation,
. and in that of Antonio Cabral various papers, and
that they received papers for Commissioners; that
they were printed Proclamations which be saw ; that
there was the press bought by the said Cabral and Ri-
berio Pinto: that they had no certain place of meet-
'..g, but that they usually met is the public walk and
in the square; that the objects of the Society were
the death of the Marshal-General, and the change of
the Government, to be effectect by falling in a•body
oes the said Marshal-General, the Governors of the
Kingdom, and the Constituted Authorities; that
colonel Monteiro told him that Spain would soon be
its revelation, that it waited for Portugal to declare
itself; but that he the accused did not know that
there was k correspondeace between Portugal and
bpainl that to command the troops after the death
of tOe Marshal-General, Gomez Friere was thought
of,; fhat his relation, Antonio Pinto da Fonseca Neves,
was not of this Association, but that be knew of it.
In kis muwers to the third ititerrogatory, thy auks.'

recognized the printed Proclamation.- by. haying seen
Another of the same in the hands of Antonia Cabral;
that he knew of the existence of the libels about
which he was questioned, made by Riberio Pinto.
which he, the accused, posted up in the square and
other places, in company with Jose Joaquiin Pinto da
Silva ; that he posted up one on the Church of St.
Paul's ; and he declared in his answers to the fourth
interrogatory, that the first person who spoke to him
in the Society was JoseJnaquim Pinto da Silva, whom
with Jose Riberio Pinto, and Colonel Monteiro, he
considered as the founders of it ; and that Jose Ribe-
rio Pinto told him that Gomez Friete desired'to figure
when they should go to seek him at his house, in
case the nation should be in danger.
It appears in respect to the accused Jose Ribeiro
Pinto, that he declares upon oath for what regards
the third point, and coniesses in his. answers to the
first interrogatory, Appendix No. 10, that he sus-
pected the cause of his imprisonment to be the Ma-
sonic Society into which he entered, and the other of
insurrection ; that this latter had its beginning in the
month of April this year, and that he Was installed
in it by Jose Joaquim Pinch da Silva, by Colonel
Motorola, and by Jose Campelle, to whom he after-
wards joined to promote the extension of the society,
Antonio Cabral Calsteiros, Major Jose Francisco das,
' Neves, Francisco Antonio, architect, Pedro Ricardo
de Fixueiro. Hennque J 'se Garcia, Manoel de Jesus
Monteiro, MA noel Ignacio de Figueiredo, and others;
that Antonio Pinto da Fonseca Neves knew of it,
but that lie was not associated; that the Members of
the Regenerating Council was a fiction of him, the
accused, of his cousin, Jose J ,Squint Pinto da Silva,
Culotta Moisten°, and Jose Campello, to give Mite
credit to the Socieiy, and to impose on those who en.
tried into it he, the accused, and the said Antonio
Cabral, fabitcating under the same fiction, and ac-
cording to the ideas of the aforesaiJ, the instructiens,
credentials, proclamations, and ail dial other papers
which they drew up relative to the said Society,
which reckoned upon (or agreed with) Gomee to
figure at his house who were acquainted with the
whole of it, and who they knew would appear at
their head when they had a great party, and they
went o seek him at his house; that the procl.ma.
thins were posited by him, the accused, and by Hen-
iique Jose Garcia, in the house of the I..ttei, in the
street of 8•41 Binto I that the press was bought by
him, the accused, and by Antonio Cabral, with
money given by him, the accused, and Major Jose
Fonseca das Ne/es. He declared and confessed ha-
she', in hie amt.. is to the-sec nd Interrogatory, that
he had two trite, views with Lieutenant General Go-
mez Friere, being presented the first time by Colone,
Monteiro, that on the second which took place in thel
presence of the said Colonel Monteiro and of Majoi '
Neve, they conversed on the object and purpose of
the ASSOCI4IIOII, there being not at that time the Pro-
clamation which wait since printed with some Altera.
Lions, and after it was read, the said Lieutenant-Ge-
neral assured them all, that only in case of a great I
party being formed, and their going to seek him at
his limo he would figure at the bead of the society,
of the existence of which he had been previously in-
formed by Colonel Monteiro, and he 'hewed himself
to all at- that moment, as one acquainted with it;
tnat no other person, besides those already named by
him, entered into the conspiracy ; the story of the re-
generating Council being a fiction. That he recog-
nised All the papers, which was presented to him,, and
referred to in the Act, as being identically the same,
and that the letter of credentials was his own hand.
writing purposely disguised, that the note 'of the re-
gister was not by Cabral, and that the rubies and
name which were found in it (the note), were apo-
cryi.hal ; that the ribbon owes bought by him, the ac-
cused, or by his comrade; and that a G, stitched
with blue, which was at the top of the said ribbon,
meant Government, and was also made by him, the
accused : as also there were cut by him, the accused,
on a piece of wood, three or four letters, which were
Ifound engraved on the seal of green wax, and which,
according to his recollection, were C. A. P. which
had no significatiou whatever, being only to indicate
that it was a particolar seal ; that the instructions'
were drawn up by him, the accused, by the said Ca-
bral, Colonel Monteiro, Major Neves, Jose Joaquira
Pinto die Silva, and Jour Campello, those which were
presented to him appearing to him to be of the writing
of Major Neves; that the printed Proclamations were
coincident in the form and context with thole which
he, the accused, primed with Henrique Garcia, being
all drawn up under the superintendence of all the
persons named ; that the little paper which was :hewn
him was made by him, the accused ; and that the
two forms of correspondence he recognised as being
written by the said Cabral with his own hand, and
the rest et the number of 180eir 280 printed Procla-
mations must be in the hand, and in the house of the
said Henrique Jose Garcia, where they were made,
none being taken from the number but those which
were delivered to the said Cabral and the others; that
he, the accused, never carried papers with him when
he went out of Lisbon, but that he settled with Ma-
jor Neves and Colonel Monteiro that they should send
him the Proclamations and other papers when he re-
quested them; that no day was fixed for posting up
the Proclamations, nor could it be so early, because
they wanted a sufficient number of associates for the
explosion of the conspiracy; that Antonio Pinto de
Fonseca Neves was not associated either by word At
by oath, but that he was acquainted with it.—ln an-
swer to the „third interrogatory he declared, that be
told the said Cabral, that Gomez Friere and Baron
Jibes entered into the society, and others, but that
this was to deceive the said Cabral, since be only
knew that Gomez Friere was an associate; since
others and the said Baron Eben were a fiction of the
accused, and that what the said Cabral said, was a'
calumny and false • that the said Cabral was he who
drew up. the Proclamation, which was afterwards
printed with some alterations made by him. the ac-
cused, in concert with Colonel Monteiro and Major
Neve; and that the said Proclamation award with
that which was shewn kin) in manuscript, which he,
the accused shelved to Gomez Treire ; that Major
Neves contributed to the expenses of printing; and
that the commissions Were only conferred on the said
Cabral and another. In his answers to the fourth inter-
rogatory relative to the answers of Cabral, in his in.
terrogatory, he declared, that the said Cabral tried to
confound the truth, by affirming things that were
false and calumnious, and perverting the truth ; that
the two instructions which were shewo him were sent
by Major Neves, but are of the writing of the ass°-
,

date Manoel Tgnatio de figneriedn. whn made three
copies at the request of thretcused, from an original
which be gave him for that purpose, the two which
were shewn him being the same that were made, he
the accused having destroyed the third as being im-
perfect; that the hoese of Henrique Jose Garcia
served as the dgpot for the oaths and other papers ;
and that he, tee accused, was the author of the five
or six libels which he caused to be posted up by Jose
Campello and Jose Joaquim Pinto da Silva, and rela-
ted the context of them.

In the Appendiz, No. 11, in the fifth interroga-
tory, and his answers, be declared that Baron Eben
never had any connection with the accused, nor with
any other of the Society, and that he could only ob.
rain information from Gomez Freire, that on the day
of the reception of Manoel Iguacio de Figueriedo,
another was admitted, who might be the one pointed
out to him, Maziminiano Din Ribeiro, but that this
might be declared by Colonel Monteiro and Major
Neves; that Antonio Panto Fonseca Neves only had
knowledge of the Society by a very vague communi-
cation made by him the accused, and by the said Ca-
bral having shown him some proclamations; that
those Walto had less influence, and who had co-ope-
rated but little, or not at all, were Francisco Antonio
Sousa, Architect, and Pedro Ricardo de Figueiro ;
and being confronted with the above-mentioned Ca-
bral, he remained firm in his answers, which was not
the case with the said Cabral in some things.

FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, OCTOBER 26.

From the dew lists of the preftnt strength of the
different corps of the French army which now lie in
garrison in Picardy, French Flanders, and Artois, it
appears that the requisite number of officers is com-
plete, and that there are even many a la suitt; but
thit of the men two-thirds are wanting, so that the
legrons which are least incomplete scocely have 500
men. The same is the case with the cavalry. The
artillery and the corps of uppers are the most com-
plete. The new instructions direct that the army
must be brought slowly to the footing fixed for tire
peace establishment...namely, every legion of infantry
to l'2oo men, and every regiment of cavalry to 600
men. Several old soldiers have lately offered them-
selves to be taken into the service again, but great
precautions are observed in the choice of them.

HAGUE, OCTOBER 29.
The squadron of the King of the Netherlands,
commanded by the Admiral Van Braam, cast anchor
on the Ist October in the harbour of Leghorn, in the
best condition. This little squadron will soon leave
that port again and go to AFgiers. The Amstel
frigate waegone to Gibraltar for necessary supplies.
