a particular friend of mine, Mr Bowring,
whose high reputation can not be altogether
unknown to you, fell into conversation
with Mr Herrara, Editor of O Padre
Amaro. Dr Rocha being mentioned, "Rocha",
said he, "might have of our Government
"any thing he wished for: and he could not
"wish for any thing that he does not deserve".

words reported to me by Mr Bowring as
the equivalent of the Portugueze words

to Mr Bowring that I am indebted for my personal

I must confess, I can not look forward to the
event without fear and trembling. I can not
bring myself to conceive how it could have
come to pass that, if you had had a King
at Lisbon, you should be had a Constitutional
King anywhere. Oh! that I could but
condense, into the compass of this sheet,
