The Kate's Message, which came down yesterday, having been
read by the Loan Cnascausia,
_ _

Earl BATHURST rose.—lt would be necessary, he
said, upon the consideration of his Majesty's most gra-
cious communicati nr, to enter into a statement of facts;
which be had no doubt would indocr their Lordshipi
w join most cordially in the Address he should have
the honour to propose. It would be proper on this
occasion to advert to the period when Sir Charles Swat t
proceeded froin Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon, by order of
the Emperor of Brazil, with the different Acts, by which
he gave up the Kingdom of Portugal to his brother;
Den Miguel, on condition that he married the daugh.
ter of the Emperor, and gave a Constitution founded
upon charter, to the kingdom of Portugal. It would
be of some importance that their Lordships should
know what was the situation of Sir Charles Stuart, at
the time he undertook this mission. Their Lord-
ships were aware that this country was engaged at the
time in a negociation between the Emperor of Brasil
and the Republic of Buenos Ayres fur the purpose of
putting an end to hostilities. That negociation was
brought to a conclusion at tie time Sir Chides
Stuart was employed on the mission to Portugal.—
Sir Charles Stuart went to Lisbon, and proposed to
the King of Portugal the object of his mission. The
change was to be effected by a Commission of Portu-
guese, or Sir Charles Stuart himself was to accept a
shire in that Commission. The King of Portugal
appointed Sir Charles Stuart to act, and be duly exe-
cuted his commission. Sir Charles Stuart brought the
matter to a conclusion, not as the Plenipotentiary of
England, but as Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of
Brazil to announce-the new Constitution. He had also
been deputed to negotiate a Treaty of Commerce with
Portugal andßrasil,and was engaged in that object when
news arrived of the death of the King of Portugal. On
that vent the Emperor of Brazil resolved to give the
kingdom to his daughter, and Sir Charles Stuart was
again the bearer of the Royal intention. Sir Charles
Stuart was unwilling to take the full responsibility
of the mission • but he was so pres(ed by the Emperor
that he was no longer at liberty to refuse. He accord-
hisly went upon the mission, but withcut any instruc-
tion on the part of the British Government. The Noble
Earl stated this, because it was desirable their Lordships ,
should understand that the British Government had no
participation or desire to interfere in the determination
of the Emperor of Brasil. On his arrival in Portugal;
he delivered the acts by which a Regency was appointed.
The Sister of the Emperor was appointed Regent. Her
Royal Highness saw that the New Constitution was
different from that of the Cortes, and that it was cal.
culated to make animosity subside. She was however
unaccustomed to Public Government, except Qat
she might have learned under her father's Govern-
ment but that did not discourage her from doing %that
she considered her duty. She was ably assisted, and
certainly with respect to the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, had one of the very best Counsellors.—
She proceeded to take the necessary steps for the estab-
lishment of the New Constitution, when unfortunately
a Proclamation was issued by her brother, which had the
appearance of giving a longer period to her Regency,
and to delay the establishment of tire Constitution. She
did every thing in her power to counteract the effect, •
but could not prevent many instances of revolt am9ng
the nobility in different parts of the kingdom. These
revolts were suppressed, but several regiments de-
setted to Spain. - The reception they met with encou-
raged other deserters, and in a short time they were
allowed to assemble on the frontier of Portugal. and
assume an appearance of force. The Purtuguese Go-
vernment had their choice of two alternatives, One

was to call on the Spanish Government to deliver tip
deserters according to a treaty between Spain and
Portugal, or they might have retaliated by giving en-
couragement to all deserters from Spain. They acted
with forbearance and wisdom, in the hope that the
Spanish Government would have altered its conduct.
A remonstrance was made to the Spanish Government,
and assurances were given that no orders had been given
to put in motion this force on the frontier. His Ma-
jesty's Ambassador was instructed to notify to the
Spanish Government, that unless they dipersed the
deserters on the frontiers of Portugal, England would
be obliged to support het Ally. A fortnight after, in-
formation was received that a considerable force had
marched from 0 d Castile to the frontiers of Portugal.
The Spanish Government, on being applied to, said it
was a movement of troops in contravention of their
instructions. The information of these hostile move-
menu was communicated by the French Ambassador ;
and three or foar days after the Portuguese Ambassador
delivered to the British Government a demand for as-
sistance from this country to repel aggression. At that
time the Portuguese Ambassador knew nothing of an ac-
tual aggression, and in that state of things his Majesty's.
Government thought it best to pause until they heard
from their own Minister. A few days after, dispatches
were received from Mr. Lamb, with information com-
municated by the French Minister. He bad been told
that hostile movements had taken place contrary to the
instructions of, the Spanish Government. Mr. Lamb
made strong remonstrances, and stated that unless mea-
sures were taken to remove from the frontiers of Portu-
gal the bodies of deserters, it would be considered an
act of hostility. The Spanish Government appealed so
agree to many of the propositions from the British Go-
vernment, but at that time no intelligence had been re-
ceived of an inroad having been made on Portugal.—
, Information, however, was soon after received, that Ms
