Citizens OF Oporto-Frankness is the first
OF the virtues OF just government you siall
know, therefore, all that we know, aud the
certainty OF which we guarantee to you.-
Those who were the governors of the kingdom
have proclaimed that very few men are con-

porting our cause. ii is inst il is also the
cause OF oureueigbors the Spaniards aud for

betty which we are going te enjoy; but the
enemies OF the nation even in this desire to
obscure the glory TO which il has so many III
lies. Citizens OF Oporto fear nothing. God
