Opening of the Cortes-The King OF
Portugal Refers to the African Aspir.
aI10ns Of Great Britain.
LISBON, Jan. AT the opening of the
cortes the king announced that the foreign
relations of the kingdom were all that could
be desired. He reviewed the progress made
in the African colonies of Portugal.
Tho king said:
The patriotic aspirations of Great Britain
to extend her vast possessions in Africa have
been met at several points by tho fixed de-
sign of Portugal to maintain her authority
over those regions that Portuguese were the
first to discover and open to Christianity and
commerce. and where Portuguese authori-
ties have exercised Jurisdiction and influence
sufficient to indicate incontestihle possess
sion. This collision has provoked DIFF
ference of views and has led to a
diplomatic correspondence which is also
dealing with the difference of opinion re-
garding the conflict between the natives of
the Shire country and the Portuguese scien-
ti6c expedition. Supported by the two
chambers, my government will endeavor to
convince the British government of our right
to rule the territory north and south of the
Zambesi river, hoping to obtain an equitable
adjustment of all legitimate interests, which
may as desire promptly restore a perfect
accord between two nations that have been
united by bonds of friendship and tradition
for centuries
