6774. PORTUGAL, Government of.—[continued].
During six and thirty
years that I have been in situations to attend
to the conduct and characters of foreign nations,
I have found the government of Portugal
the most just, inoffensive, and unambitious of
any one with which we had concern, without a
single exception. I am sure that this is the
character of ours also. Two such nations can
never wish to quarrel with each other.—
