LISBON, Demount 22.
In pursuance of the notice of the -Consul Gen:rat
affixed yesterday at the E glish Church doll., a ronsi-
derable number rf the most respectable British suhiser,
in Lisbon attended at the Consulate. At twelve ri'ctuk
the Consu' General entered the room, and was respect-
fully received.
The Coxsut. GENZRAL having taken Vie Chair, ad-
dressed the Meeting in nearly the following wards—•
" Ott the 17th of N iv,iniber last, in conformity with
instiuctions received luso' • his Alai sty's Grivernmeot,
I demanded From the PortugueirGovernment the im-
mediate liberation of a Boitilt subject, by name Mai cus
Ascoli, who was arre,t, d at Belem, on going out rsf this
country with tegular passports, and snbseqiiently con•
fined by the Intendant Ge rotas of Police for several
days, i a dungeon, after the Intend int General had ae-
ceived orders from his G.sveimi.ient fru the tem•.v.iTaif
Mr. Alm), to another place of c•infinernent. In rosifor-
mity with the same instructions, 1 dananded that the
Government of Portugal-shrill:, within Ifni!), days
After the date of my c smmunication, visit with a public
mark of disa, prnbAti,n anti sfispleaAfie the Iniendai.t
Gent ral of Police, for his conduct totastris a Btiti•lt
subject; and I also, accord;ng to the orders received
horn his Majesty's Government, sated to it e Ali i Art
of the Portuguese Covet nment the h•-pes entertained by
hi, Maie.ry's rnment that the P.iituguese Gore. is-
ment Nould adopt a line of conduct more suitable to
the nature and tenor act the Treaties of alliance and
'friendship existing between the two countries. I
was also instructed, in case of the non-compliance of
the Portuguese Govetonient wth those stipulations,
to state the results to the Iltitish merchants and re-
sidents in Lisbin, in order t at they might he pie-
pared for whatever mea-ores his Alajeity's Govern-
ment might think proper to adopt. With regard. there-
lore, to the three. objects of th se communications, I
have to state, that the official orders pith-led mi. the
25th of last tn.siith, and on the 2.l.and 6th of the resent
mcv•th (ll..cemhe:), seem to me to• be indicat•ve of a
wish, on the fart of the Portuguese G:ivernniont, to
observe toWards theßritish subjects a line of conduct
more congenial to t' e spirit of the tie 'ties. But the case
of It. Ascoli I consider in a different light ; for- the
