IL is universally acknowledged that the
Portuguese are loyalto their sovereign, obc-
dient to the lawful authorities who represent
him, and patient sufferers OF the privations
and incoAvenieucies which armies oil most
occasions experience: the patriotism. encr-
gy and enthusiasm, of which they have just
given the most striking proofs the glory
which they acquired in Roussillon !; the recent
successes on the northern and north eastern
frontiers--attest their resolution, valor and
intrepidity, qualities, which render them
worthyof their ancestors, and as famous as
they.
Therefore, Portuguese, there are none who
discoverbetter qualifications to become ex-
cellent troops, and convinced of this truth,
the marshal commander in chief finds him
self with the greatest pleasure identified
with the Portuguese nation he is a Portu-
guese officer, and to the Portuguese he Sc
curely confdes his honor and his reputation
The Marshal Commander in Chief judges
1t necessary to protest to you, that he will
always consider it as one of his most impor-
sant duties to reward merit, wheresoever it
may appear and that the only recommen-
dations to his favor, shall be zeal, intelli-
Sence, activity, bravery and patriotism qua
Iities, which shall always find in him decid-
cd and active protection.
The Marshal and Commander in Chief.
Calls the attention OF all ms general and
subaltern officers to the actual condition.
and to the Moderation of the army and be-
ing convinced that the best method of intro
ducng into our military corps, discipline,
and an exact observance of duty. is the ex-
ample of the officers, he hopes that they
Will not fail to impress upon their soldiers,
a lesson SO important and necessary.
The Marshal commanding awaits with
impatience the first opportunity of visiting
and inspecting, as we'll the different corps,
which are already in the field, as the rest
OF the army, and he will avail himself of all
occasions to promote the satisfaction, disci-
pine and advantage of the officers and SOL
oilers, with the command of whom he is in
trusted.

che Marquis de Romano, dated at Reaueiio
"a place in Gallicia to the northward of, and
not far from Braganza,) on the 18th instant,
by which it appears, that the French have
lost IN Gallicia, not less than 10000 men.
Killed and taken prisoners by the patriots of
that kingdom. The saidgeneral being posted
at that place, cuts off the communication
between the kingdom of Lem and that of
Gallicia.
r. The Portuguese who passed the Mimic,
on the 10th inst. and entered the town of
Guarda, were afterwards at Baisna from
whence they returned towards the interior.
and were on the 18th in Amorim, a place
near Tuy. 1t also appears that Vigo is now
in possession of the Spaniards, and three
English frigates have entered it's harbour.
which supplied the inhabitants with aramu-
milton.
There have arrived in this port, and are
now landing arms and clothing complete for
10000 men, very important aid, which the
J generous British nation sends to the Portu
3uese. BY this and by many other acts of
liberality, it may be seen with what earnest
desire and zeal the British government is ami
mated to defend the Peninsula, and partiou-
Alarly tbs ky o5d-n, its intimate and ancient
s.lly; and onr enemies may thence learn the
impossibility of conquering the three united
nations.

down his rage, the law TO enforce the en.
barge which was approved by the President
on the 9th inst.
We repeat what we have before said, and
what has been solemniy declared by the
soundest patriots In the senate and house of
presentatives, tEat this law is unconstitu-
tlonal, that it inlringes the dearest rights Of
freemen, subverts the whole civil jurisprl-
dence OF the country and prostrates the Ii
berries OF the nation. It is a law haught
with the most terrible and alarming corse-
quences, and We contemplate with horror
the mischief 1t Will carry in its train. None
deprecate more than we do the effects of ci.
vii discord and disunion. We are alarmed
and shudder at the idea of forciblc resist
ance to government. The fear of such an
event must fill every bosom with dismav.
but when combination of mad and enfuri-
ate demagogues goad on the people to a state
'ot phrenzy and despair, what but the most
disastrous consequences must ensue. The
desperate adherents of rulers drunk with
power have been solemnly warned, thew
have been lmplored not to pass law, which
freeIaen never would submit to, bat their
admonitlons were derided, their entreaties
spurned. They who when the last blow
was aimed at the liberties Of the nation da-
red to break its fall, they who at the awful
moment when the deed of our subiugation
was to be executed ventured to raise their
voices vi q C stion of the insulted MAORI
ty OF the people, have been scofcd at, abus-
ed h II feelings outraged by the charge Of
tcrylsm and treason to their country. tits
for the enlightened freemen of the country to
decide who Eavc acted the part of traitors,
who IN the hour OF trial have deserted their
country and enlis cd under the banners ola
faction which is driving the nation on to ru-
IL.

fatal attack upon the honour, the happiness
and liberty OF a free people.
