BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS,
SUBSIDY TO PORTUGAL.
Lord Hawkesbury brought the following Message from his majesty:
G. R. His majesty taking into his most serious consideration the imminent danger with which the kingdom of Portugal, the ancient and faithful ally of his crown, is threatened by the power with whom he is at war, as well as the importance of preserving and maintaining the commercial relations which subsist between the two kingdoms, and relying on the zeal and affection of his faithful commons, recommends it to their consideration to grant him the means of affording such support, by way of subsidy, to her majesty the queen of Portugal, as may best enable her majesty to take such measures for the defence of her kingdom as the exigencies of affairs may require.
