From the preceding quotations, 1t
will sufficiently appear
That dancing was religious act,
both OF the true and also OF IDOL wor-
ship
That il was practised exclusively on
Joyous occasions, such as rational fes.
tIvals or great victories
That i was performed usually in
the day time, IN the open air, IN high
ways, fields, or groves
That men who perverted dancing
from sacred use 10 purposes OF
musement, were deemed Infamous.
That no instances of dancing ale
found upon record in the Bbe, in
which the two sexes united IN the ex
-rcise, either as an act OF worship or
amusement.
Tn &c is no instance upon record, Of
social dancing Tor amusement, excep
hat OF he vain fellows" devoid OF
shame; of the irrelig'ous families des
cribed by job, which produced in

Extract OF letter to The xdnar OF the Exeter
n u. paper, dated Madrid, August 10th.
since the Emperor of Brazil has
sent his constitution to Portugal. il
would seem that this country could
hardly remain quiet under an arbitrary
form. The manner in which that con-.
s.itution was given was The same which
the Holy Alliance formerly declared
they should not oppose, being given
voluntarily by The Sovereign; but they
would not suffer any changes to be-
forced upon the Sovereign by the ar
my or the people 1t would seem.

young daughter Of the Emperor. At
irmpis have been madeto create the i'm j
presslonihat there has been great troa-
bic andieppos ton in Portugal; hat from
the best Information, il appears that
the oath has been universally taken
without opposition, and the majority
with great satisfaction. A few officers
OF one regiment, on the borders Of
Spain, refused TO take il. and passed
over the line into this country; and
they have already been formally de-
manded Of this government On the
other hand, the Spanish officers are
going into Portugal in great numbers.
and, in the event of war, will proba-
bly, take very active part. TIL
King OF France, / am told, consents
that his troops should still remain here.
notwithstanding the efforts Of England
To have them withdrawn. On the
day when the oath to the constitution
was taken in Portugal, all the foreign
ministers were invited to splendid
entertainment & ball The English, A
merican, Dutch, and Swedish, accept
ed without hesitation; bot the others
declared they had received no instruc-
lions from their governments how to
conduct themselves upon the occasion,
and should consider their attendance
merely as an act Of personal respect to
the Princess. aud not as an approval OF
