LETTER FROM Don MIGUEL TO DON
PEDRO.
We stated in the Constitutional Of the 9th of
August, that letter had been written By Don Pc
cTo e his brcthor ordering him to embark on board
the john lN.to come TO London, and declaring, IN
case OF MS refusal, he should take his daughter to
Lisbon; and we have noticed that Don Pedro not
having taken advantage of the French fleet being
IN the Iagus, and executed his plans in favor OF
his daughter nt that period, it appears extreme
y difficult for him TO establish the rights of his
daughtcT-Ihc arrival OF Don Pedro, who has for
the present taken up his residence at the chateau
oil Mcudon, induces many to believe that his pro-
ect IN this particular has been deferred for the pre-
sent, and we know that plans deferred are always
without effect No have learnt at the same time
that Don Miguel has addressed letter to his bro
liner IN answer to the above referred to. Don Mi
gUels letter is written in very bold style and
VIC think right TO give the substance of the docu-.
mCnt itself.
Don Miguel in hisreply, declares that s.Don Pc
dro having taken the title Of Duke of Draganza
has by that step become his vassaI, and that as
such and ly writing the aforesaid letter he was
guilty OF want OF respect to his Sovereign, he
should be tried for his crime as also for havino as
suncd Il title to which he had no right as upon the
day OF his nbG!catIcn the title of Duke of Brur.n-
"a CcTOlFcU upon the hlngS son; That to the pre-
tensions OF legitimacy OF his daughter, such IDEAS
were now out of fashion; that even if Don Pedro
were ignorant that, according to the decisions of
the Cortcs Of Iamcgo, which dccrccd that in case
OF q division of the two crowns, upon the demise
oil the King, the largest state should belong to the
eldest CON- md the smallest TO the Youngest par
tiion which took place upon the death of John
", rs Don Pedro remained in the Brazils and as
Don NJ gUcl ought TO have had, and had Porturul
he ought to know that the Portuguese nation in
virtue Of his sovereignty, had proclaimed him King
snd on all occasions given him positive proofs Of
thcr attachment 70 his august person; for this ad
hcson was made quite apparent in the face Of the
frCuCh squadron in the TaruS; that every French
man IN the squadron could bear testimony TO the
affection of the Portuguese for his sacred person.
& that not ofthcn landed without being request
ed to cry out give Don Miguel" That Don Pc /
dro had become second MIno-a complete rebel /

position to liberal deas-that he had lost all the
