Extra6 Of a letter from Lifbm, dated Jan.
" In anfwer TO the many fal(e and in
famous paragraphs that have lately appeared
in the paper, concerning the Jafiifa6iOn de-
manded and received by the court of Grea,
Britain from that of Portuga,it may be fome
lafifat7iOn to the public to know how mat
tiers really fand in that refpea this 23d

"4,hly and laGly. From May 1870 till
this morning about eleven o'clock, we have
had no envoy at the court Of Ldbon : from
ali this it is evident, that ifthe Brltilh court
has received jati5faG7ioT from that Of Portu-
gal, JatiJfatsion, in the language of Princes,
does not always imply reGrGtj to their )ub-
ieas."

GEORGE, r.
His Majeay being defrous, from pa;ernal
affection to his own famiy,an anxious con-
Germ for the future welfare of his people and
the honour and dignity of his crown. that
the right of approving all marriages in the
Royal family (which ever has belonged to
the Kings of this realm, a: a matter of pub
lie concern) may be made efe6fual, recon-
menos to both Houfes of Parliament to take
into their ferrous confederation, whether it
may not be wife and expedient to fuppIy the
defect of the laws now in being, and by fone
new provifion more effectuully to guard the
defendants of his late Majefy King George
the Second tother than the ihue of Princehes
who have married or may hereafter marry
into foreign families from marrying with
out appreciation of his Majsfy his heirs, or
fucceG5rs firf had and obtained. q. R.
Reiolved, that an humble addrefs be pre-
tented to his MajeRy to return thanks of
this Houfe, for bis mof gracious mefage ;
to allure his Majefy, that his faithful Com
mons, impreHed with ju& fenie as well as
his Majeity's pAternal affection to his family
as his anxious concern for the future welfare
of his people, and the honour and dignity of
his crown, will not fail to take his Msjetty's
! meGsge into their moa ferious confederation.
