Portuguese!—The Provisional Junta of tlu* Supreme Government now, more than ever, has occasion to address you with sincerity ai.d frankness. It would not be necessary in your eyes to justify I lie motives of the resolutions taken, and the assiduous labours it lias enthusiasti cally undertaken in your cause and the solvation of our beloved country.—The purity of its intentions, the regularity of its proceedings, its firmness in sustaining those promises given, and the unceasing watchfulness with which it has laboured to complete the grand edifice of Public Organization, must be already known to you The Lisbon Governors, as soon as in formed of the occurrences in III North* ern Provinces, and of the ardent eiitliu* Biasm so rapidly spreading, pondered on the state ot public opinion, and theettecls of our demands, and only when they learnt that the two Gem rais of Tras loti Montes and Beira, had mutually |Oine<l with a view to Mippress the national feel ing, to rivet the cliaius of the people, and retain them in the extreme ahj -elion amt misery in which they were already sunk, did they awaken Irotn their lethargy , and dar*d to proclaim that a million of Portuguese, who aimed al being ha<>pv, w rr rebels to then King; that a Junta which upheld »*u. ti incoiitesUhle rights, was minis ve ; that their useful and glo. rious labours were an overthrow of public order; that tbe Cortes could only be convened »»> the King, anil that the whole uatton ought in silence to await the meas ures so often' ines demanded aud promts «d, and as n|teu refused. We could uot lor a moment suppose that the Lisbon Governors expected by such absurd principles and captious phrases to disunite Portuguese, arm them against each other, and to our oin *r distresses add that ol a civil war.— They are men, and in ttie human breast such a vile project could not he harbored. Tins, however, would be the inevitable consequence of their rash plans, it in the minds ot Portuguese, the sacred ties of nature, religion, and of patriotism did not exercise all iheir influence. The Junta was not alarmed at these apecioqs measures of the Lisbon Govern ors, because it knows your hearts and is firm in its principles. Its members arc not rebels against their King, because they love linn, and have sworn to fix and maintain the independence and glory of his throne, which the governors ol ttie king loin had depreciated hy their inept administration, and allowed to be under wined by odious parties. Ii is not mtru sive, because it was established by the unanimous voice of a numerous people, who wished to escape from inevitable ruin. It does not subvert public order ; Ibis it rather restores. But, why seek to explain to you wlial you already know from your own obsei various i I he Junta will go oti firmly, and you have yourselves aiieady set u the happy efiecls ol ns con stancy .—'I tie brave troops ol lias Ids INI >ntes and Beua have successively J. M their gcneials, amt are already unit'd m tin cause we have sworn to defend. Gen eral Silveira hi hi sc 11 has taken the oa h to this same cause. The iiiliabilauls ot the three Northern Provinces have also been enabled to declare meir sentiments with out disguise, and are about to march to meet tlutr brethren, 'ho with rqual en thu»ia*i»i .'wail their coming. The Lisbon Governors are not iguo* rant of these last events, so contrary to tneir hope*, and mucli opposed to the re tention ol their power and administra tion. Now, how \er, they recur to a nother more insidious, though equally useless artifice in order to alienate your minds, and persuade you that through them y ou will find remedies for the pub lic misfortunes. They tell you they are about to couvehe the Cortes, by pailicu lar luatiuctions they have from the King on i l.oril tor iiru.iit Maik well, illustrious Portuguese ! On •he yilti* hi August, no one had tiie pow er to coiivi ke the Cortes but the King — The people who demanded them were rebels. Then there were hopes oi turn ing public opinion, ol suppressing the general fueling and ol sowing di-cord.— On the ‘2*1 ot Sept, the Lisbon Govern* on had received particular instructions to convene the Cortes in urgent cases.— Amt what greater urgency could ttier** be Hun public misfortune, so Jong felt and lamented ? What greater urgency (Iran llic demands of tlie nation, so often and in so many ways repealed, in private and in public ? Wlial greater urgency Him the fatal division oi Portuguese imb ibrer well known parties ami never suppicg.*ed by the Lisbon G ivernora ! \Vhat greater nrgency Ilian Hie cry of a whole province, that raises iiselt from the abyss into which it had been plunged? Vet tins province then was rebellious, because hopes were >tili entertained ot suppress, itig and devastating, f’lie general cry was then the voice ol insubordination, and as such was to be punished and supl pressed. The misfortunes ot the coun try did not touch llieir brans, because they were not h ard or felt in their stale ly and luxuriant palaces. N<>w, however, they themselves wish to convene the Cortes ; but in what man ner f lor wlial purpose? Willi wliat intentions ? Is if, perchance, to sev things regulated by justice, and const, qtienlly their power diminished ? Is it to remedy Hie malversation ot the admin istrators of tlie public revenue, sod to benefit national agriculture,industry ami commerce f I- n to revive our ruined navy ? Is It to establish j*,t laws, capa ble of maintaining peace among the peo« pi , and seeming their rights, such as will suppress anuses and crimes nearly naturalized among u* ; such as will reg ime public Older and establish our fell* city on fixed ami permanent hams ? Is it to dehne the sacred right* of the na lion, and trace onf the just limits of pow er ami obedience ? Is if, finally, in or der to give us a stable Constitution, such as we require, one that will be a rampart of public liberty, and the solid founda tion o' a just Throne ? Ah I no—do not deceive yourselves, Portuguese ! If these were the intention* of I lie Lisbon Governors, long ago they would have been perfoirned, for if i« long since our wants ’save reached their climax. They themselves now acknowledge llial the King’* instructions provided tor Ibis, in urgent cases. Dill not public misery siifFi<-e ? They tell us they are about to establish » Committee of chosen persons to consult I ou the method of convening and holding. | the Cortes* Persons chosen bv them, and possessing tbeir confidence ! Person* un der their influence ! Persons who cer tainly will spiu out their labours till the lime wheu the nation is involved in dis cord, when tbe public ardour mid enlliu* siasni are extinguished—when a foreign army possibly may have couie to subju gate us, aud reudcr our chains more hea vy ; till, finally, through measures of ri gor aud severity, the wishes ot the peo ple may he eluded, and the nation again plunged into a still deeper abyss. No, illustrious Portuguese !—No valiant national tro’-ps !—do uot suffer yourselves lo be deceived.—You already kuow what you have to expect fr«*ui tlie pompous promises ot the Lisbon Governors.— They who till now have been iuddleteat to your sutLriugs, will heu elorwards continue the same. They who till now broke their own promises, and destroyed onr hopes, will uot changv their system in three days. The tyrannic despotism that succeeds in suppressing or weaken, mg the first efloits of liberty, always he comes more heavy and more audacious. Firmness and constancy are the vir tues your country now require ot you. f mines* and constancy aie the virtues which will crown «>ur projects with suc cess ; and ot these the Junta will give you the most signal example, pledging to spill the Iasi dr p ot their blond m your service, and bury themselves under Ihe ru'iis ot puolic liberty, or succeed.

A tew years ago, a cargo of steam-engines ami other machinery was slopped tor Lima, for the put pose uf draining the mines of Pasco, til llie neighborhood of that city.

It will be recollected, that in the month of May last, Madeira, in connection with others, parsed off at several hanks in Philadel phia and two in this borough, cer'ain counterfeit Holes of the Bank ot (he Uni ted States tor f-Vto each; and (hat he aod * ^syny?nrmm~ on* of his confederates being pursued by two officer* of file Banks of this place, were overtaken at Havre de-Grace, and Madeira arrested, while hi* confederate escaped. The case was opened by the District Attorney, Mr. Head, and argued by Mr. Rodney for the United Slates, and Refer A. Brown of Philadelphia, for the criminal. In the evening, the ju y re tired, and after an absence of about two hours, returned with a verdict of not guilty— but upon being polled, it was 11 certained that lonr of the jurors dissent* ed from the verdict. The court thereup on directed them to retire and to agree upon a verdict. Tile jury remained in tlieir room all the next day, and until 12 o’clock the following night ; when, as fltey could not agree, they were discharg ed, and Ihe prisoner was bound in a rc cognizauctt to appear at the next Circuit Court, again to stand his trial. This is, in < fleet, a di* harge ; lor if is not likely that Madeira will voluutarilv run the risk of another trial. [ Watchman The L» gislatnre of Ri.otle I-land is in se-'ion. Jas.
