v The following translation from 4 Portuguese paper is given by the Lisbon correspondent of the Staudard, who does not, however, mention the name of the temperate journal : — «' War upon the Eugiishinan ! Wai , yes war, upou the gang of thieves, war without truce or quarter, war in every shape or form. Destroy Eug- I land's commerce, show 'up her dishonour. Let Europe know what cowardly rascals live in its midst — rascals who cringe to powerful Bis marck and to the United .-.'tates,- but are insolent when they can be so with impunity.. The English are a mean race, who have got on by deceit, embezzlement, villainy, robbery and corruption." Let feiery Portuguese who loves his country regard tfie^ name of England as "synonymous '"' with the vilest vices.' li.We call .upon , our countrymen, under pain of defilement to shake no Englishman's hand. If a Portuguese women Ij^teus to the addresses of an English thief -she will be dishonoured. It is our first duty to our children to teach them to hate the accui sed spaw n , of the Norman , and Saxon pirates, and .to> grow up to avenge ,the affront given to. tbe ; ir fathers. " Vllliaua ! Viilia'us, all! '"And, j if a squadron of theije wretches dare enter our Tagus to affront us for beihg poor in-warsbipSi/aMd threaten iis; with their guns, let 7 the r pebplfc'i with- 1 out hesitation, makev,p.rjsoners of- the whole English colony, sparing* neither Women nor! children/and tell the Admiral that!,' if one bombshell falls in Lisbon, everyone of these ' hostages will be put,to death without an; hour's delay. ;TheA.wretcheß,.ni a y .then, do their worst. ; Lisbon, will not bave died without wreaking vengeance." ....,
