: The Frencu KING’s Declaration of againff Portugal, HE Kingand the Catholic King being obliged to fupport a War sgainft Eng- land, have entered into reciprocal En- gagements to curb the Ambition of that Crown, and the Dilpotilm * which it ~5CE énded 10 ufurp,’in every Ses, sand articularly in thie Eaft and Weft Indies, over the g"rm'md'Navigniqn of other Powers. Their Masjefties jddged 'that one proper Step for stiaining this End, would he to-invite the King of Portugal to'enter into their' Alliance. It was natural to think that the Propofals which were made to that Prince’on this Subjelt, in the Name of his Majelty and of his.Catholic Masjelty, would be readily sccept- ¢d. This Opiniofi was founded on 'the Confidefation of what the moft’ Faithful King owed to himfelf and to Kii Péople, who from the Beginhing of thé prefent” Century hidve groaned urider the imperions Yoke of the Eoglith, Befides, the Event hath bwt too clestly fhewn the Neceliity of the juft Mealures taken by Francé-and Spain with regard to a {ulpicious and dan- gerous Neurality that had all the inconveniences of & soncegled War. ; Fhe Memotiels prefented to xie Court’ of Lifbon on this fybject have been made public; all - Europe hath' féen the {olid Reafons of Jultice and Conveni- ency, which were the Foundation of the Demend on the.King of Pariugal ; to thefe weie added, -on the Parg. of Spain, Motives of the moft tender Friendfhip and Affinity, which ought to have made the ftrongeit d“molt fahutary Impreflion on the Mind of the moft sith(ul Kiag. - But the(e powerfol and jult Confiderstions were {o far trom determining that Prince to unite with his Mgjetty’and his Catholic Mijefty, that he ablolutely rejeCted their Offers, and chofe ¢o ficrifice their Alli- snce, his own Glory, and the Good of his.

That Prince, therefore, can only blame himfelf for the:Calamities of 8 War, which he ought, - on every account, o have avoided, and which he hath been the firft to declare, : His Offers to obferve an exe& Nentrality might have been liftenéd to by the King and ‘the Cathalie Kiug, it paft Experience hed not taught them 1o gagrd #gainft the IHaton and Danger of fuch Propofals. In the Beginning of tie prelent Century, the Cotirt of Lilbon was' very forward 1o’ acknowledge King:Philip V. of glorious Memory; and: contraited’ formal Engsgements with Frence and Spain : Peter I11. who at that Time filled the Throne of Portugal, » feemed to enter cordially into the Allisnce of the two Crowné : But after ‘diffembling his fecret Intentions for_three Years, he broke all his Promifes, and the Neutrality which he had sfterwards follicited, and which in & Letter of the United Provinces he had even ‘sdvifed her to embrace, and joined the Enemies of Rrance and ‘Spain. ‘The fame Confidence and the fame Security, oa the part of the two Crowm, in' the prefent State of Things, which undoubtedly have been followed by the like Defeétion of the Court of Lifbon. . » United to the Catholic King by indiffoluble Senti- ments of tender Friendfhip and common Interefts, the King hopes, that their_united Efforts will be fevour- ed by the God of Hoffs, and witl in the End' compel the King of Portugsl'to conduét' hiinfelf on'Principles more conformable t@. found Policy, the Good of hit Peomc,_md the Tieg of Blood which unite him to his Majeity, and his Catholic Majefty.
