fRents With yourselves, have aeqaiesced
IA your wishes and declare, 10 you, that
II do not acknowledge the Government
which tue GOrtes have established in AN
illegal manner; and that being resolved,
at the same tine, not 10 abandon these pro-
sinces 10 The fury of anarchy, preserve

these provinces, and your parents, your

are exposed. Your presence, in the ranks,

SIR KOBET WILSON'S LETTER
Vrso, June IL" Portuguese IL en-.
tered your country as IN affectionatc friend
and an ancient companion of your arms
entered it with the conviction that had
found indisputable titles TO your esteem,
that 40 individual in your nation could ever
charge me with having done him an injury
or unkInd action.
+" l Was on my way to your govern
ment with propositions Of import for your
safety and honor, connected as | be-
lieye that stfety aud honor, to be, with
the cause of independence in Spain
And | will not deny that l did enter
tain some authorized hopes of renewing
relations which could have permitted me
to participate 10 the assured glory of your
achievements. Checked in my progress
by the transactions which occurred II Lis
bon, and disappointed in every hope by the
Royal Declaration that the Counter reyu-
luton would be the guarantee of peace be-
tween Portugal and the invaders, gave my
word Of honor to the new Government of
Oporto, not to interfere with the internal
affairs of Portugal, during my residence in
the country; and sought Immediately to
regain the Spanish territory without tho't
hostile to the right of Portugal to alter and
construct her own form OF Government, at
her own will and pleasure, however might
regret the exercise OF that right In the pre-
sent instance aud particularly in the present
month.
"a phrenzied populacc nj Braga, nsti-
gated by few individuals who. hope on
~ assumed the habit they wore, assembled
to assassinate me and my unoiiending com
panions, and in the absence of military
force, sufficient to prevent violation of lnu-
nicipal as well as public law, prevailed as Far
as TO dctain us two days in their city
Released from the confinement, and oppo-
sed at every point in our progress, the
government of Oporto denied us a mo-
ments refuge and repose, aud the COVER
nor, carrying into execution the orders Of
the Junia, not only arrested and disarncd
IA, but presumed to treat me with all the
insolencr Of office, and the vulgar feelings
of a man who WIS conscious that he could
abuse his power with inpunity. Portu-
guese although thus outraged, wronged
and basely insulted by faction and d.
rectors, believe me that can never forget
the friendly kindness and devotional zeal Of
all classes, civil and military, by which
had been previously honored and protect
ed. Believe me, that in the defiance of e
very calumny, wherever | may be, and
under whatever circumstances you may
find me you will always be the objects Of
my sincerest and most cordial regard.
(Signed) ar. WILSON.
