UsWrpstion Of NJ The Lisbon
Gazettes, which are from the 24ih 10
the 18th June, inclusive confirms the re.
port which had appeared some days
since in the Paris papers. of the Cogtes
having declared Don Miguel King of
Portugal. One of bis first acts in this
capacity waste recaI Chaves and the
other Portuguese who had taken up
arms to put down the Constitutional
system. The Gazettes also contain the
substance of an official despatch from
the officer commanding the advanced
guns ofthe Royalists, in which be claims
a victory over the Constitutional troops,
aud as be dates his despatch from Coim-
bra, Lis claim can scarcely be disputed.
The only news in the Paris papers, re.

French trosps, which was to take place
as soon as the shipping should arrive
which was to convey them back to
France.
Dispatches had been received in
london from Sir F. Lamb, dated on the

These we presume will be the last
dispatches from Sir Frederick.

took the command of the Oporto.
We are sure that however indignant

The 2Sd, not to deliberate, but to receive
and obey the orders of their traitor
master As if to show his contempt Of
all religion, he obiiges a bishep to assert
what he knows to be utterly false, and
TO declare that the Crown belongs OF
right to the rebel. who swore, when he
took the oath as Regent, that the Crown
was not his, bat his brothers.. In per-
feet keeping with these reasonable pro-
ceedings was the first decree issued by
the traitor, for recalling all those who
had been pronounced rebels by this

There is no language sufficiently
strong NJ terms sufficiently expressive,
to convey all we feel and think with res
pect to tins Arch Traitor. His treason
has all the qualities o. baseness, of
meannes', of immortality and ir,eligion.
