PoRruGAL May 4,h.-The relations between this
country and England have assumed an aspect which
causes much anxiety and alarm amongst the British re-
siden,s who fear that they may at very short notice
be laid under the alternative OF either packing up their
goods and chattes and decampng, or staying to brave
the risk Of assassination The Of the unexpected
rupture is the refusal Of the Portuguese government TO
admit to their fu! extent certain pecunary claims
which Lord Palmes,on has urged on behalf OF NUMBER
Of English subjects, and on the admission, 1t not the I'M

stopped and threatening the severcst punishment Ia

goods. This edict issued in consequence OF her

A remarkable edict had been issued from The Com.
missioner and Hoppe, who being disappointed at not
being likely to get any duties from three American
sbips which had entered the port empty, caused the
Hoppo 10 visit the ships in person, and finding that
though without cargo the ships had not brought funds
sufficient in dollars whercwitha to purchase home
cargo those dollars are be weighed by The Hoppe
