FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PORTUGAL,

PROCLAMATION OF DON MIGUEL TO HIS ARMY AND TO
THE PORTUGUESE NATION.

People and Soldiers of Pdrtugal—When I left the metropnlis
of the Portuguese monarchy in October of last year, my object
was to accompany you in the midst of the sacrifices which you
have made for the just cause which you defend.
1 was well convinced that your valour was sufficient to van-
quish the rebellious bands which lay within the walls of Oporto;
but I wished to prevent the effusion of blood, and presented
myself before that city, and in the exercise of the clemency
which is natural to me, offered at different times the pardon
which I was always inclined to grant, with the view of drawing
these my rebellious children to repentance, it being credible
that many of them who had been compelled in despite of their
wishes to follow the path of dishonour and impiety, would take
advantage of the proffered lro.nn.
Time has passed away without fulfilling the consoling expec-
tation I had entertained of being able to receive amongst the
members of my nation these ungrateful children who, instead
of returning to their duty, have had the audacity to attack the
peaceful anitfaithful people of the Algarves, whose coasts they
assailed and, whose habitations they have pillaged.
But they did not limit here their perverse conduct. The ef-,
forts of these agents always employed in projects of seduction
and venality, corrupted many of the officers and men of the
squadron which I sent into the waters of the Algarves, and by
that means they possessed themselves of it with the greatest
perfidy and without any effort of valour. Strengthened by
these means they were enabled to approach my capital with all
their forces without its being possible for the badly commanded
troops then on the south of the Tagus to offer any effectual
opposition. The same corrupt practices, as the rebels confess
in their chroniecu, were employed at the same time in the capi-
tal, and by this means some groups were formed and induced
to raise seditious cries, which were followed up by many evil
affected persons, who, by their proceeding in several quarters j
of the city, threw the inhabitants into great perturbation, with-
out, however, shaking the faith of the troops under the orders
of the Duc de Cadoval, who was unwilling to employ them
against the seditious, as they themselves desired, in ()icier not
to cause an effusion of blood in a contest between brothers,
relatives, and friends, especially as the rebel troops were com-
ing up, and their :quadron appearing off the mouth of the
Tagus.
In these critical circumstances, the Duc de Cadoval was
forced to adopt the prudent measure of withdrawing all the
forces in the capital, causing them to march into the neigh-
bouring country; they were followed by a great number of
employes, nobles, and proprietors of all classes, who were un-
willing to become the victims of oppression or the accomplices
of the horrible crime which those commit who follow a faction
whose special object is the destruction of the altar and the
throne. •

—Portuguese!!—Religion calls upon you, your native country
claims your efforts, and its cry is so powerful that it alone ought
to inspire you with courage and heroism. Fly all to arms in
this province—range yourselves under my standard—or under
that of the Duke Marshal of the army, or join any other faith-
ful chiefs on the points where they may be.
Let us show the world that a baud of disaffected and rebellious
men cannot stifle the sentiments of a whole nation, which loves,
as you have demonstrated, its King and its institutions. I shall
be found in the files of my brave and faithful army. I shall share
in all the dangers you may be exposed to, and tne glory which
1 may acquire will redound entirely to your honour—as the
common father of the Portuguese. i shall rejoice in seeing you
imitate the valorous actions which immortalized your ancestors
—their heroic deeds are celebrated in history, and admired by
mankind, and equal fame will attend your fighting for our God
and for your King, and for the constitution which you defended
with so much glory not lone since, and from which your fathers
derived so much happiness.
To arms then, brave and faithful army ! Valiant and intrepid
people, let us fight for our religion, for the salvation of our
native land, and let our watchword be VICTORY or DEATH.
THE KING.
From the Palace of Leza de Balio, 29th of July, 1833.

LONDON POLICE REPORT.

GUILDHALL.

On Tuesday a ladylike young woman, named Ann Esche,
was brought before Mr. Alderman Harmer, charged with de-
frauding the chief waiter or the Swan-with-Two-Necks Tavern
of 9s. 9d.
''`Tire- complainant stated that she -walked • into the.house on.
Monday afternoon, and inquired if she could be accommodated
with a very comfortable dinner in a private room. She was
shown up-stairs, and an excellent dinner provided. She called
for a pint of sherry, and said she should like a nice little des-
sert. These were accordingly furnished, and after sitting some
time she inquired if she could be accommodated with a bed.
On hearing this, the truth flashed on his mind that she was the
female cheat of whose doings he had read in the newspapers.
He presented his 141, and as usual he received a reference for
payment to the sthicitor of a gentleman on the continent,
named Meyer, with whom she had been living. The solicitor,
as usual, would not pay the account, and he therefore gave
her into custody, as she had no money.
She was brought to Guildhall a few weeks since for running
up a score at the Bull Inn, Holborn, which house she had ho-
noured with her company upon being prevailed on (by present-
ing her with a new bonnet) to quit the Bell and Crown adjoin-
ing, where her reckoning amounted to £9. She had dropped
in at the Blossoms Inn, Lawrence-lane, to breakfast on Sun-
day morning, and the emptiness of her purse was not ascer-
tained till her bill amounted to 3s. 10d. The waiter said the
loss of the money would fall entirely on him, which he could ill
spare, and he begged she might be punished as a common
cheat.

Prisoner said Mr. Meyer was in the habit of paying these
bills for her.
The waiter assured the alderman he had no such habit; it

was a gross delusion : and then she had such an appetite 'for
sumptuous !
Mr. Alderman Harmer agreed that her conduct was shame-
ful, and asked her how she obtained her living?
The prisoner replied frankly that she had no means.
Then, said the Alderman, as you have no means but that of
plundering individuals, 1 call on you for sureties for your fu-
ture good behaviour.
She was accordingly committed to the Compter as a person
living idly and faring well, and having no visible means to sup-
port herself.

The General Steam Navigation Company's mail-packet the
William doliffe, from Hamburgh, arrived oil the Custom-house
at eight o'clock on Nlonciay evening. The Princess Lieven and
suite came passengers therein.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING•—One of the most extra-
ordinary instances of adventurous spirit was exhibited this after-
noon in arrival of a small schooner-rigged boat, belonging
to his Majesty's ship Etna, from Gibraltar. Her crew consists
of four men, under the command of Mr. Moneypenny, a mate
of that ship, from which she parted company on the :ioth nit.
considerably to the south-eastward of Cape St. Vincent. This
little vessel, of less than five tons burden, has made her way
across the dreaded Bay of Biscay, passed about 30 leagues to
the westward of Ushant, and came into harbour in most gallant
style, about two o'clock, having seen nothing of the ship to
which she belonged, or received the slightest assistance from
any source in the course of her passage. The Etna may be
hourly expected.--P.S. Since writing the above, his Majesty's
ship Etna, Commander Belcher, has been reported in sight,
coming round St. Helen's.
