so soon as his Ambassador in Lisbon, the Count of Casa Flores, shall be restored to the exercise of his Functions, and to the rights belonging to his character. This deference which His Catholick Majesty shews to the wishes of His Britannick Majesty, expressed in your Note of the 16th Instant, together with the fresh assurance that the resolutions communicated by me to your Excellency, on the 28th November last, and which have again been ordered to be carried into effect, whilst measures of precaution are at the same time taking, calculated to insure their punctual fulfilment, are an additional proof of the sincere desire of the King, my Master, to preserve unimpaired the publick tranquillity happily enjoyed by Europe, and a solid guarantee of the pacifick intentions of His Catholick Majesty. In consequence of this assurance, the King, my Master. flatters Himself, that any occurrence which may unfortunately happen, and that might appear to be at variance with the principles He has manifested, and which coincide with what your Excellency has stated to me, by order of your Government, will be explained in a satisfactory manner; and he likewise hopes, that the frank, upright, and true exposition, which I have the honour to offer to you, of the sentiments which animate my August Master, will be productive of the happy result of removing any kind of apprehension which may have hitherto existed, and of securing, the no less important object, that the present Military state of the Peninsula be not altered in any respect. I with pleasure avail myself, &c. MANOEL GONSALVES SALMON. The Minister of His Britannick Majesty. No. 3.-The Conde de Casa Flores to Don Francisco de Almeida. MOST EXCELLENT SIR, (Translation) Lisbon, December 26, 1826. In consequence of what your Excellency is pleased to state to me in your Note of yesterday, I shall have the honour of presenting myself, with great pleasure, to-day, at half-past twelve o'clock, at the Palace of Nostra Senhora d'Ajuda, to pay my respects to Her Highness the Most Serene Infanta Regent. Having been reinstated by this Government in the rights and privileges which belong to me, as Ambassador from His Catholick Majesty to His Most Faithful Majesty, I shall have the satisfaction to treat with your Excellency upon the particular points to which you allude to in your Note, and also respecting whatever may appear proper to avoid every thing which might endanger the peace and harmony between the two Monarchies, which the King, my August Master, so much wishes to preserve. By an extraordinary Messenger, who arrived yesterday at noon, I received the Orders of my Government, as also a Copy of a Note which His Excellency Don M. Gonsalves Salmon, addressed, on the 18th Instant, to the Minister of His Britannick Majesty in Madrid, and which corresponds in every respect with that which your Excellency has been pleased to transmit to me, together with the Note to which I have herein replied. I avail myself of this opportunity, &c. H. E. Don Francisco de Almeida. CONDE DE CASA FLORES. 1157 INDEX. ACCOUNTS, Financial, Commercial, &c. "UNITED STATES," &c. A.
