Wle have omittetl to make mention of wilat took ptacein this city on thc night of the 2sth of this month, and which has given rise to a vatiety of contradictory reports, mang of thiem absurd, because we were unwilling-to teuch upon this subject till we were assured of the truth of what we should publish. Now that we have been able to cbtain accurate information, we can acquaint our readers, that the movement which took place that nighit was caused by the necessity under which the Government found itself, to give orders for the arrest of several individuals, who, deluded by a revolutionary frenzy, had fo,med intsigues of the riost criminal nature. We nay now be easy, since'their wicked machinations were happily discovered, and since those who were implicated in them are in prison, and to be tried without delay, when those who shall be proved guilty will receive the punishment they deserve. In the midst of the grief which we feel at seeing that there still exist among us some degenerate Portuguese, who think of disturbin- the pu4blic tranquillity, we have the consolation of being able to afrm, that the spirit of all the corps of the garrison of this city manifested itself, on this oscasion, to be such as may be expected rrom troops faithful to their King and countrv. All corps behaved in so worthy a manner, that thev merited thie expressions addressed to themn by his Ex- cellency'the Mlinister of War in the order of the day which we annex WVAR-OFFICE, Oct.26. His MIajesty the King our Sovereign commands the troops of aU arms of the garrispn of Lisbon, and the Royal Guard at the Palace, toibe infbrmed of his Royal satisfaction with th'e discipline which they showed In the meeting of the preceding night, as well as with the prompt execution of thie orders which they received from their officers, with the view to maintain the public tranquillity, which some individuals, unworthy of the uniform they had the honour to wear, were endeavouring to disturb, with a folly equal to their wick- edness, sstking themselves the instruments of ambitious mnen, who do not disdain to avail themselves of any means whicls might enable them to execute their weakdesigns. " His Majesty is well conivinced of the love and loyalty of' his anny, and of the sentiments 'of lhonour whicll animatc the officers ; and against these feelings, which are rooted in the hearts of the Portuguese, all the attempts of the factiouis will always fail, what. ever be the denominationi which they atlopt, and whatever snares they may miiake use of, sinc- nothing but opprobriuim is to be expected by those wvho, renouncing the first ani mnost cssential virtue of 8o noble a proftssion-that is, entirc and passive obedience-launch into intrigues, maliciously aflectinig respect for tde person of the Sovercigt, while tthey decry his governmuent andl conspire against his thrnne. The Sovereignty is indi'visible, and resides only in thc person of the King our Sovereign, from whon all the authori. ties emanate, and to whom all hissubjects, however high and distin- gzuislied be their rank, owe cqual obelience: every thing that deviates from this line of conduct is criminal rebellion, whichi manif'estly leads to the annihilation of the monarclhy. This is the doctrine whiCti the officers ought to inculcate inmo those under them, since thus oily they will fulfil their duties. H-is ilMajesty saw in the assem- bling of the troops. prootf of this conviction,; and though he does not dioubt, that, tinder sinilar Oicumstances, similar proof:s would bc given by all the troops of thc army stationed in different parts of' the kingdoom, he, however, desircs that the example given bv the garrison of l.isbon shoutld be known by all of themn, and being imi. tated, the patemal atlministration of lis Mlajesty will soon be con. solidated, who, in his Royal benevolence, has tio other care than the happiness of rlI the Portuguese.
