Ilis Holiness, granting to the rtost excellent and reverend Arch^ bishop of N-zisazo permission to accept and wear the insignis of the (xrant Cross of the Order of Nossa Senhora da Conceii3o of Villa Vicosa, whichl his Mlajesty conferred on hinm for his services on that occasion, was pleased also particulai l v to commend the conduct of the N'uncio, as his Excellency oficinaily intonnre thc Secretary o' btate for Foreign Affairs, in a note of the 23r1 instant. The AMinister for F'oreign AHlitirs of the King of Denmark, writ- ing to the Chargc d'Affaires of that Sovereign at this Court, rela- tive to the events that took place at Lisbon up to the 14tb of lay, says-.' The represe\xrati.eea ot he Sovereigns %ho'aeA 'xeir august character on this occatsion, they contributied t) thic triumph of tie principles which are tihc safeguard of legitimate power, and of piablic peace and tranlcqility. Your conduct and vour languaige on this oc- easion have merited the august approbation of hi-, M:.jesty." The same sentiments are so general ttiat even tilose Governments who liad no Representatives litre at t iat time hiave expressed their sentiments to his Mairtsty's Ministers at their Courts. Thus Clnunt Bernstorff, Mlinister for Foreign Aflairs to the King of Prussia, speaking to Count Oriulla on this subject, saidl to hin, " that he nmuch regretted there was no Aiplematic agelnt for Prussia _t Lisbon at that timte, as he would not have been behin(d the others in mani- festing to the King ot Portulgal the iaterest which Europe takes ir his auguat lperson." Reports h-ave been spread bv the English and F'rench journals, o0 the approaching arrival of a crps of Hanouverian troops in L'crtugal we ate authorized formally anti officially to contradict this state- ment; and in the same mnanner to give Lhe a,suranCe, Lhat no con. vention hIas been concluded on the subject; and e:cn thtt thlc full powers which would be necessarv to conclude such a convention havi :not been given. tAfler thic official statement, the elitor observes, howv necessary is to be circumspect iR listenillg tO rep lrr de'oid of -uth'or't yv at time whieni so many conflicting passions and interests are at Work. I it should ever be necessars, for thegood of theNstate, to asuit a bod) of troops of a friendly nation, or even of fbreignl hired troops, such at titanv of the great Powers of Eutrope have in their pay, to lessen thi numbner of hands taken froin agriculture, asit otiler important reasont which are no dishonour to those nations that make use of such as bistance, this would never affect the Plortuguese loyalty, which is ft above suclh pettv ronsidleratiolis. It is, however, useless to dwell oI rhe subject, as the report of the coming of foreign troops is false.] ltS18Ra-MA4IL. LISBION. Jmuwi 2W.
