These doouments serve to prove the lively interest which his Most Christian Majesty takes in the support givon to the royal authority of the King our sovereign, and the close union which unites all the Kings of Christendomn againstevery thing calculated to disturb publicorder, peace, and the triumph of those religious and monarchical principles which are the desirable and solid bases of the happin,ess and liberty of nations :_ NOTE OF TtE iARQUIS 5OF PALMELLA TO BAPtONe HYDE DE NEUVILLE. "The undersigned Councillorl Minister, and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has read with much satisfaction the despatch of Count de VilUele, which Baron Hyde de Neuville, Count of Bemnposta, his Most Christian Majesty's Ambassador, has had the goodness to communicate to him. - " he undersigned can assure his Excellency the Ambassador, thit the ng, his mraster, regards as a new proof of his Most Christian Majesty's friendship the authentic testimony which that august Sovereign has given his Excellency of his approbatien for the firm. ness wherewith his Excellency professed and maintained, on the 3Oth of April last, those true principles of Royalism which unite the cause of the throne of Portugal with that of'all ether thrones. " It appears extremely useful at the present moment that his Excellencv should anthorize the publication in the Gazette of an extract of the before-mentioned despatch, in order to give public proof of the opinion of his lost Christian lajesty, not onlyrespect- ing the conduct of his most mneritorioas Ambassador, but also re- specting the unhappy events which gave occasion to his displaying his zeat and leyalty. The undersigned seizes this ogportunity, &c. " Lisbon, June 28. '-"The Msarquis de PA IMELLA." "TO 1I2s EXCELLENCY THE MARQUIS DE PALMSELLA. "A. le Marquis,-Since you desire it, I do not hesitate a monment to send you an extract from the despatch which I had the honour of laying before his ALajesty through the medium of your ExceUency. In doing this I make a sacrifice to self-love, for I cannet deceive myself' as to the merit of my actions. On the 30th of April, I} like my bonourable colleagues only did my duty. 1 followed the beaten road, the only one which an honest man, who knows only God and his legitimate sovereign, could and ought to take. " I have net, therefore, merited all the marks of approbation with which His Mlost Faithful Majesty, and the King my august Alaster, have been pleased to honour mv zeal. But I feel with you, that it is proper and useful to put an en;d to the absurd and criminal reports which some obscure perturbators take a pleasure in spread- inF. It is above all proper, that wvorthy men, whose easy c.redulity might be taken advantage of, should be enlightened and informed under what point of viev the ofFence of the SOtl of Aprll is consi. dered in Europe. Mlorcover, Portugal can no longer be troubled; the army and the people acknowledge the King only; and if the 30th of Apnl be on one hand to be deplored, it may be said on the other, that it has proved a real triumph of public morality. It has shown that the genius of intrigue and revolt can number in this kingdom only a handful ot accomplices, and that smnaLl number of men could only obtain a momentary success, by basely deceiving a noble cou- rage, and cowardly abusing the love which the ration and the army hear to the King. Finally, it has been shown, and this grandlesson will perhaps serve both here and elsewhere to cuib the lovers of re- volutions, that Europe is closely unit whenever it is necessary to maintain and defend the power which comes from God. AcceptL &c. " July 2- " Baron H1YDE DE NEUVITLE." Extract from the despatch from his Excellency the Couant de Vil- lele to the French Ambassador at Lisbon:- " In the critical circumstances in which the Portuguese monarchy was placed, ou have worthily ftlfillcd the important mission wich vva conide lto you. You were sent to his Most Faithful Majesty, and after nobly supporting the royal authority, you have effi!aclously concurred in Inaintaining it when it appeared otn the brink of a pre- ipice. I have laid before the King the marks of approbation which his Most Faithful Mlajesty has bestowed on your condnct, and the distinctions which he has conferred on you ; and the King is pleased to authorize you to accept them, as well as the title of Count of Bem. posta.
