Sraall'understood, how- ever, that they lelt Rio about the 25th December. On the subject o the political con- dltion of the country, Captain Small states, that great agitation had pre vailed at Rio de Janeiro a short time previous to, but had rather subsided at, the time of his sailing. The dis- quiet originated in consequence of an order from the King and Cortes at Lisbon to the Prince at Rio, instruC ting him to prepare to reiurn home in a ship which wxiu.d be sent for him. and to bring home also most of the menbf war which were then in depot. The inhabitants daily expecting a lajge reinforcement of troops from Portugal, and knowing that in the event of the navy beings withdrawn, their navy yaid and aisenal would be broke up, and they subjected to a sys tem of military 'government, sentjn a petition to the Prince, couched in a" very humble and respectful terms, re questing him to rerrfain with theni.--TJjey hesitated not to avow therr ap prehensions should the orders of the King and Cortes be observed, and went to shew the great probability of their being realized. The Prince (who etit;ers- ie ud i,, foVhe King and-C ortes the is. much beloved by the populace,) re- object of their wishes, and would re main until- an atiswer coul'd be re ceived, j v . The answer of 'the) Prince to the inhabitants was calculated by no means to meet .the approbation of ihe Com manding General of the troops, whose powers, had the Prince have left! Rio, would have been unlimited. But. am bitious men especially officers,) are not to be stopped in their march on the high road to distinction; the Com . manding General collected the Por tuguese officers and most of th1 troops, and after sta.ingjo them his object, which they acceded to they marched to Signal Hill on the night between the 13th and 14th January, and came to the derermination to adopt mea sures to force the Prince to proceed for Lisbon the troops embodied on the occasion amounted to about 1300. 1 he Prince, next morning, on hear ing of the conduct of the General and troops, expressed his astonishment, but declared in firm and spirited terras that he would head the native troops and the populace, and resist by force, of arms any plan that might be con certed by the government troops to prevent him from complying with his promise to the inhabitants. The General, on the morning af ter possessing himself of Signil Hill j could easily have destroyed the whole city in a little time; and the inhabi tants, who were much alarmed under an apprehension that such would be the case, kept their shops and offices closed the whole day no one was open. The streets were patroled by horsemen in full speed, calling upon the inhabitants to arm and join the Prince; and the inhabitants turning out and declaring that the Portuguese troops should go to Portugal instead of their Prince. Before 6 o?clock the Prince had col lected a force of native troops and in habitants of the town of from 6000 to 7000. The European Portuguese see ing such a formidable number and every minute augmenting, were cora peled to capitulate upon the following terms : i That they should march from Sig nal Hill, with all their arms, munitions of war of all kinds including their field :ind artillery pieces, whenever vessels r boats were ready to receive them and go over to Prior Grand,, (a small lown opposite Rio about a league cjis iainf,) and theie Wait uniil transports were reedy to transport iliem to Por tugal The next day, the article of capitulation was carried into effect, and tlie inhabitants greatly relieved from their troubles, notwithstanding they could perceive from their win dows that the cannon had been sodis- "posed by the General, in his new for tress across the.nvei, as .to point at ' their dwellings. Transports for con- j veying them to Portugal were getting ready, but the belief and report in Rio was that they would not embark un til other troops should arrive from Portugal to relieve'them. It was al so conjectured ty many that the tran sports which miht arrive with the re lief troops, would hot be permitted to enter the harbor ; but, alter furnish ing them with provisions &c. that they would be sent back to Portugal. The 21st of January was the birth day of the Princess, and of course a great Court day. Royal salutes were fired from alf the forts and from two English frigates, and also from "the Portuguese at Prior Crande. The officers from the latter went over ,to wait on the Princess. : and of course to offer her their conpratulations. but CV - 7 the Prince was so exasperated at them lor their late conduct, that he would not -suffer them to ener the palace.

In the reign of William the Xhird, the Earl of Bredalbane undertook to bribe over to the new Government, some Highland Chieftans who were still attached to King -James. For this purpose a sum of 15,000. was remitted from England. The Clans suspected the Earl intended to pocket the greatest share of the money, and made such demands as fustrated , his object. The Earl refunded the mo ney, resolving to he revenged onthos who had disaj pointed his expectations. Among these was M'Donald, of GJenL coe; against whom he is said to have entertained a private resentment, and to have watched an opportunity for his destruction. A party of; the M'Donj alds had plundeied the lands of Brer dalbane, on some customary expedi tion of forage; and the latter insisted on M'Donald's shate of the bribe he was employed to distribute, as an in demnificajion. The Chief refused to comply ; alleging the expedition had, only been in retaliation for similar depredations on his property by the vassals .of the Eail. In consequence of this, Bredalbane represented him at Court as an Incorrigible rebel, who I would never be obedient to the laws, ! or live peaceably; under any Sove rein; and proposed that the governs ment should sacrifice him to the quiet! of the kingdom ! This, our readers will remember, was the plea of R07 bespierre, for all his murders; and that it was also a proposal of the Min isterial Press, to sacrifice the late Queen, to the quiet of the country either a s a criminal or a martyr. The Reformers of Manchester were also slaughtered to maintain peace, and good order and the laws were broken to preserve them inviolate. A. proclamation had "been issued by William, ofiering indemnity to those who would submit to him, and take1 the oath of allegiance, &c.;and threat ening those with military executions who held out after the end of Dec. M'Donald long had refused to submit ; saying that he kept hi4 opinions to himself, without injury to any one; but as the day of grace was near ex piring, the lies of affection, and his fears for his wife, children and depen dants, overcame his indignation. On the last day of the month, he repaired to Foil William "to take the oajhs; but the officer not being vested with I civil authority declined to administer them. He iiext proceeded to Iverness, j and reached it thiough dreadful roads , and bad weather, only one day after j the term-had expired. The Sheriff, . in consequence of his disappointment at Fort William agreed to administer the oaths Jo him, and his adherents ; ; and they returned to Glehco, confi- ' ' dent oftbe protection of the govern- Hit-in, iu which iney so soiemniy sud mitted. In Consequence however, of Bredalbane's representations, the kin", this William of glorious memory, this "liberal Dutchman," as Lord Clon curry calls him, signed an ord.kr for PUTTING NE: AR TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE to death, without trial, without cer emony .without interference to aiiy le gal authority, and with as little'cer emony, observes the historian, as if ' it had been an order to .apprehend a smuggler Tor this act, did not Wil lia in the Third deserve the late of Charles the First? This roval warrant for murder having been transmitted to the Master nf Stair, Secretary of State fur Scotland, this minister sent direc.' lions to the t,fvingstoue, the comman der in chief, 'fro-put the inhabitants of Guncokjo the sword I He had particular instructions to take nopris oners, that the scene might be rendered as tei rible as possible, and " serve as an ! example; to refractory Clans. Eajly in the month of February, l69'l, Gil pt. Campbell of Glenlyon, . by 'vir tue of an order from Mijor Duncan son, marched into he valley of Glen coe, with a company of soldiers, on pretence of' "levying the arrears of hearth-money, and land-tax ; and when IlDonald inquired ifito their in tentions, the viJIains.answered-iT was friendly; and Capt. Campbell pro- -mised, upon his homrr, that neither McDonald nor his people, should suf fer heleast injury f Damnable E quivocation J While meditating mur der, he .might indeed say he did not . intend the least injury .' IN'othiig short of the greatest coujd satisfy the infer nal uiinion of royal vetryea nee - la consequence of Campbell's declara tion, lie afid his men were received with the most cordial hospitality ; and entertained ili the most friendly man- ner for , the space ot fifteen day 9 '. This islthe amning shade, that ex ceeds the infamy of Robespierre There was nor- villainous hypocrisy abput him. He did not hug his victims while he stabbed them ! At .jenpth the fatal period approached. : This villain Campbell and M'Donald, had spent the dayjogethcr ; and the eve ning v, is passed at Cards by Camp bell and some Of his officers,' with the Laird of Glencoe and his wife, as well es M'Donald of Achtrichtan, and some neighboring gentlemen, they parted early, with mutual promises of the warmest affections. ;Here we are almost tempted "to throw down' the pen with an; eternal curse pn the au thors, direct4nd indirect, of this bloo dy affair. We must however proceed. lYoung .M'Doriald, perceiving the guards doubled, and observing, some thing mysterious in the conduct of the troops, began to suspect some treacji erv, and communicated his suspicion to his? father; who had so much con- fidence in the honor of Campbell, that he treated thse susj itions with jocu larity. . The youth , and his brother, appioachiiig the guard under the cover of the night, heard a centinel tell his fellow his dislike to the business. He would have had no objection, he said. to have fought the M' Donalds of the Glen, fairly in the field ; but that he detested murdeiing thcin in cold blood. . " However' said he, "our officers are answerable' for the treachery. " Hearing this the young men. hastened back to their father's house,- to warn him of the dinger, but the bloody bu siness had begun ! They heard the report of fire arms, and the shrieks of despair, and being destitute ol wea pons they secured their own lives by flight. , The savage ministers of blood entered the old man's chamber; lie j started , jup and was instantly shot 1 through the head . He fell down deacl in the ; arms of his astonished wife, tcko died the next day, distract' ed by the horror of her husband'' fate! The Lord of Achtrichtan shared the same fate of hishost, though he had
