PARIS, Demme 13.
YAM( THE CONSTITUTIO/4rin
The last sentence of the King's speech has produced
upon the Exchange the most instantaneous effect,
Scarcely had it been pronounced at the Louvre, when
t was already explained, discussed, and commented
upon in the vicinity of the new Rue Vivienne ; and if not
the precise words, at least the meaning and import of
them were already known at two o'clock upon the Ex-
change. Every one drew more or less weighty con-
clusions from it. It was mentioned, and repeated, whe-
ther men were well informed, or whether they wished
to aggravate the importance of the matter only, that
this concluding sentence, or ministerial epilogue, had
been afresh discussed last Sunday in the Council,
which had been protracted till siz in the evening. The
names of those Mini tens were even mentioned who had
voted in favour of the phrase, namely,Messieurs de Cler-
mont Tonnerre,de Damas,de Doudeauville,and de Pey-
ronnet; from whence it follows, Messrs.deVillele,Cor biere,
d'Hermopolis, and Chabrol, had voted against it. By
applying these words, if Her success in peace (speaking
of France) will not shed less lustre than what her war-
like virtues will shed, if honour compelled her to display
thew," to the disturbances in the Peninsula, the real or
supposed disposition of England, the last news from
Portugal, announcing a landing of British troops at
Lisbon ;—in calculating the bearing of this phrase,
speculators have drawn such fine conclusions from
thence, that M. de Villele's S ter cents. have fallen 70
cents on the first course of exchange to day, and about
one franc in the course of yesterday.
110/4 THE SUOTIDIENNI.
The public having placed some confidence in our
news respecting Portugal, which, though precocious,
was true, we feel it a duty to add further information,
so as to enable them to understand the relative position
of the Itotali,ts and Constitutionalists in that kingdom.
Tie Royalist refugees, as has been seen, have entered
their country by four different points; but the divisions,
after quitting the Spanish territory, formed themselves
into two bodies; that of the North, which has taken I
Braganza. and that of the E rat, which occupies Villa-
Estremos, and, perhaps, Elvas, one of the
strongest places of Portugal. We left the army of the
North marching with rapid strides, under the command
of the Marquis of Chaves, to Oporto. It is not yet
known whether that important city has fallen into the
hands of this wing of the army. That of the East, as
we have already observed, is found much nearer Lis.
bon ; it has already passed through all the defiles of
the mountains without' any opposition. Separated from
the army of the N th by a great extent of territory,
and particularly by the Tagus, it seems destined to
operate by itself, and it is probable, that after it becomes
augmented by the Royalists from the provinces on
the right of the Tagus, it will attack the capital behind,
while the army under t'te Marquis of Chaves will me-
nace it on the side towards Coimbra.
According to the latest intelligence, this Royalist
army of the East has taken up a position at Evora-de-
Monte, which is two leagues beyond Estremos, on the
rcal Irom Ervas to Lisbon. The Constitutional troops
that bad been seut against this body, possessed at the
same period the city of Evora, teven leagues to the
south of Evora de Monte. It was no doubt this re'ative
position of both armies, that gave currency to the re-
port that they were in the pretence of each other: It
however appears that the Constitutional Generals hesi.
tate.' to approach the Ito) alists, on account of the
doubtful fidelity of the troops which ;hey have under
their command.
We h 11 soon know whether the Constitutional army
on the left hank of the Tagus has come to an engage-
ment with the Royal's' army opposed to it, or whether,
uniting with it, it will immediately march on the capi-
tal, and thus terminate the disasters 01 Portugal.
We have had no news at Paris from Madrid since the sth of De-
cember, but expect shortly to. herr of something decisive.
W? know that the Marquis de Moustier, our Ambas-
sador at Madrid, dem.-nJed his conge sonic time ago,
in consequence of the difficulty he felt in his perilous si-
tuation, when our Ministry abandoned him to his in-
stinct, in urder that, at a future period, they might
have a pretext for disavowing his p oceedings. The
urnals saw, lOr a long time, no Ming but a recall in
this cone, and continued under a deception until the
Ltoile announced, that by the consent of his Cabinet, he
was to take his seat in the Chamber. M. Moustier was
really recal:eJ on account of his not having faithfully
adhered to the instructions which he had received re-
specting the affair of the Peninsuli. Thus, that which
had been considered a favour, turns out to be a dis-
grace. We are assured that his recall was transmitted
by an English courier. For s-'me time past we have
corresponded with Madrid only through foreign op-
potturities, and surely Mr. Canning will not complain
/bat the portfolios of his diplomatists contain dis•
patches, the object of which is to malt the French Mi-
nisters who do nor submit to his policy.
