The intelligence whtut a—e-.ohtd town yesterday from
Rio de J inch.° leaves no doubt of the determination of
Dan Panno E.) enter into no compromise with Don
Muslim., whom he stiles the usurper of the Portuguese
Crown. His Imperial MAJEATT declared to the Portu-
guese Deputation which waited upon him, that he would
show to the whole world his determination to fight for
tl.e tights of his Daughter their Quail!. We may there.
lore expect that an attempt will be immediately made,
either by the Masilion Government themselves, or
through the means of their Aliies, to dislodge the
Usurper from the Thsobe which he has so basely
mounted, and so unworthily filed.
The felnin of our Ambassador, Lord STRANOVORD,
may be shortly expected, and Great Britain, France,
and Andria, will then probably njnintly assist in res-
cuing Portugal from the tyranny under which she now
groans.
