HE CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD is a gentle
T stimulant and renovator of tke impaired functions of life,
and is therefore cakulated to afford decided relief to those who
by early indulgence have weakened the powers of their system,
and fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such 'persons the
appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life almost sub..
dued : they are wanting in that activity of mind and energy of
conduct which their affairs require, and partly from conscious
weakness, partly from excessive apprehensions' are liable to sink
despondently into a premature grave. It was for these that the
late Doctor Solomon particularly designed his Cordial Balm of
Gikad. The relief which great numbers have experienced from
its renovating eiScuy, warrants the strongest recommendation

of a recourse to it to those who are similarly affected.

" An inconsiderate Administration, filled with
errors and vices, had brought upon us all kinds of
evils, by violating our privileges and rights, by break-
ing down our franchises and.liberties, and profaning
those praiseworthy customs which distinguished us
from the first establishment of the Monarchy, and
possibly were the most secure pledges of our social
virtpes: The love of country, sacrificed to egotism,
was. no more than an empty name in the mouths of
those ambitious men who occupied the first places in
the nation, and who had no other object in view than
to prosper amidst honour and riches, as a reward for
their crimes, and their want of talent and experience,
with which they directed the affairs of the State.
66 Thus did we unfortunately see our Commerce
disappear—our industry and agriculture dwindle
away—and our Navy rot in our ports.
44 Soon should we scarcely have had a mercantile
vessel left; soon would all our navigation have been
lost, for which we were so renowned during the time
of our past glories, when we visited the most remote
seas, and brought back to astonished Europe the
riches of the east, as well as those of the two worlds.
The sources of national prosperity being thus
shut up, the ruin of our most valuable concerns be-
came a necessary consequence, and to crown the rest
of our misfortunes, our adored Sovereign ceased to
live among us.
" Portuguese ! From that fatal day we date our
misfortunes; then commenced our orphanage. Then
it was we lost all, and soon should we have lost our
very Name, once so famous in the universe, had we
not evinced that we were still the same by the con-
stancy with which we have endured so many cala-
mities and miseries, and by the heroic resolution we
have this day taken.
" Our Forefathers were happy, because they lived
in the glorious times when Portugal enjoyed a Re-
presentative Government in the Cones of the nation,
and they achieved prodigies of valour, as long as
they were obedient to the laws which the latter
wisely instituted ; laws which were beneficial to all,
because on all they were binding. Then it was they
made Africa tremble, conquered India, and asto-
nished the Old World by the atquisition of a new
one, still more to extend their fame. Never did Re-
ligion, the Throne, and our Country, before experi-
ence such important services ; never did they acquire
more lustre and solid greatness ; but all these bene-
fits were entirely derived from the Constitution of
the State, because it kept in just equilibrium and
perfect harmony the rights of the Sovereign and his
subjects, by converting the nation and its Chief into
one family, in which all laboured for the general fe-
licity. Let us again enjoy this Constitution, and we
shall be again happy. Don John VI. our adored
Sovereign, has not given it back to us, because he is
ignorant of our wishes; but it is no.v time to ask it,
because the evils we endure, and still more so those
we have reason to expect, require a prompt remedy.
" In imitation of our ancestors, let us convene our
Cortes, and expect from their wisdom and firmness
the measures which alone can save us from perdit
tion, and secure our political existence, This is the
will of the nation and of the army, thus expressed;
and this expression aids the attainment, already too
long delayed through timidity or disunion among
the lovers of their country. On the glorious field of
Ourique, the Army raises its voice and a Monarchy
appears. This day, in the cradle of •Portugal, the
Army raises its voice, and saves from destruction
and ruin this precious deposit confided to its care,
and so long sustained by the valour of their invin-
cible arm.

Portuguesel—The step you have just taken to-
o arts your future felicity was necessary, and even
indispensable, and your unfortunate situation fully
justifies your proceeding. Be not, therefore, afraid,
for most assuredly you commit no treason against
the former sentiments of your natural fidelity. No
law or human institution was ever made to last for
ever, and the example of our neighbours suffices to
set your minds at ease. The world is well aware,
that our deliberations are not the effect of any per-
sonal anger against the Government, or any disaffec-
tion against the august House of Braganza. On
the contrary, in this way shall we draw tighter those
bonds of love, respect, and allegiance' by which we
are happily bound to the dynasty of the_ immortal
John IV. and the virtues which adorn the heart of
the most beloved of his descendants. The change on
which we enter in no way attacks the stable parts of
the Monarchy ; the holy religion of our country will
acquire more brilliant splendour, and morals will
improve by the advantages of public instruction, at
I present unhappily abandoned; this will create
lour felicity and that of future ages. The laws of
the kingdom, religiously observed, will secure indi-
vidual property, and, the nation will uphold each one
in the peaceable•enjoyment of his rights, because its
object is not to destroy, but to preserve. The same
orders, the same places, the same officers, the priest-
hood and magistracy, will all be respected in the free
exercise of the authotities already deposited in their
hands. No one will be troubled on account of his
opinions or past conduct ; and the best combined the is
sures havialready been taken toguard against tumults,
or the indulgence of personal enmities and revenge.
46 POrtuguese!—Rely on the good wishes by which'
we are animated, De on your guard. and watch-
over the high destinies which.awitit you.— Locsk fur-
war d with confidence to ths day when you will be

" OFFICIAL NOTE.
MOST ILLUSTRIOUS SlR—The memorable cv,2ut
which restored to Portugal the rank among nations
which it justly claims, did not permit the Provi-
sional Junta, of the Supreme Government, in a
moment of such importance, and 'l% hich required the
most prompt and efficacious measures to express to
the English Officers who fill posts in the army, how
much it desires to shew the just and well-rnei ited
consideration, in which it holds their eminent ter-
-vices, and how happy it would think itself if it
judged itself authorised worthily to reward them.
—Under the impossibility, however, of so doing, it
feels it to be one of its first duties, in the exercise of
the authority which is confided to it, to desire, that
you, Sir, will declare to all the said Officers, and to
each of them in particular, that they are to retain
the honours, privileges, and distinctions, belonging
to their posts, as well as their pay, which than be punc-
tually paid them till the installation of the Cortes.
" The Junta desires also, that you will give them
to understand, that conformably to the general will
of the Portuguese nation, whose desires, regulated
by its generosity and gratitude, are without limit, it
will cause to be afforded to such of those Officers
who desire it, the means which are necessary for them
to remain with all decency and convenience in the
country, unless they should take the resolution to
remove to their own, or to some other.
os That the Junta, however, hopes they will con-
duct themselves, in the present circumstances, with
that delicacy and circumspection which beseem men,
who from education have learnt to appreciate the re-
spect due to the wish of a whole nation, which' has so
solemnly declared its firm resolution to maintain its
rights. Gorr preserve your Excellency

" To the most illustrious Sebastian Drago, Valente de Brito
Cabreira, Commander-in-Chief of the armed force of
this Division."

de We can assure the Public that the sacred cause
for which we have declared, has been generally em-
braced with enthusiasm and unparalleled joy in the
Northern Provinces. In that of Minho, they have
not proclaimed Don John VI. King of Portugal, by
the Constitution of the Cortes, but the whole mili-
tary force is already regulated and organised with
Portuguese OQ'ice:•s. Generals Blunt and Wilson
have conducted themselves with that circumspection
which was to be expected from their principles, their
education, and their circumstances.
" The Army in the province of •Minho is cri*
manded by Major. General Gasper Texeira.
" The Brigade 9th, 11th, and Chasseurs 12th, is
commanded by Antonio Lobo Texcira Ic Barros.
" Joaquim Telles Jordao commands the brigade
3d, 15th, and Chasseurs 6th, and the whole division
is under Major-General Antonio de Lacerda Pinto
da Fonseca.

" Dispatches received by the Supreme Govern-
ment confirm the above.

" The first dispatch is from M. Ant. de Barros,
dated from Foote de Lima, 26th August, and states
that the Constitution was proclaimed on the 26th
with great joy, in presence of the Civil Authorities.
&e. but that the Eiclesiastical Authoi ities declined
attending, as they had no orders from the Arch-
bishop ; but they did not make any opposition. All
was done in the best order, and due respect paid to
the Foreign Officers,
" The second dispatch from Vianna, 27th August, .
is of similar tenour. General Wilson retains his senti-
nels, and the same respect is shewn to General Blunt,
" The third dispatch is from Braga, 28th August,
where the Constitution appears to have been pre,
claimed with more solemnity. The Authorities hayr
ing been called together by the Archbishop, tran-
quillity everywhere prevails.
" At Oporto, a piece suitable to the occasion was
hastily got up, and loudly applauded by the nunie,
rous spectators.

At the recital of some verses, the whole audieneg
rose and cried out, g Long live the immortal Spar
niards, our neighbours, who set an example -to us
and to the whole world!' .
id The President of the Supreme Government raja-4
his voice, and announced the following vivas:--A
King !—The Portuguese!—The Citizens of Oporto !—.
The Garrison of Oporto !—The generous English N -
tion, from whom we have received benefits deserving
of gratitude, and which we will punctually repay.

" No language can express the pleasure of the Por-
tuguese on this enchanting night. Tears flowed frc in
every eye. Such is the. public spirit of a city whiLli
was always distinguished by its patriotism and

loyalty."--Diario Nacional, Au„,aust '2B.
The following is an extract Of a private letter from
Oporto, dated SI st August t--" Hitherto wehave net
heard of the slightest riot or confusion, and the peryle
here, at least, are as quiet as ever. The ConJe cc
Amaranthe, in Tros los Montes, has not decided•with
the party here, though it is said that some of his
troops have. The Provisional Government hare laid.
hold of all the public money here, and the coffers ale
said to have been very well supplied. No contribu-- •
tions have-been talked of, or any expected to be de-
manded. An, order of the Government was mis-,
understood, and an embargo was laid on all shipping;
it was,' however, immediately taken off. The Grovern. •
'vent have written to the different Consuls, assuring
them of the observance of existing treaties, and thc ,
the change of Government will not cause any altei a-
tion in foreign relations; we therefore feel easy as to.)
