Excellt-ta and Reverend the Bishop, President, and Governor.
" Camp at Ramah7l, Aug. 24.
" May it please your Excellency-1 have the honour to in-
form your Excellency. that the army under Ins' command de.
hated fieneral Laborde's division on the l'lth instant, and on
the ...!Ist inst:int the whole of the French arms united, twder the
command of I iencral Junot, at imlera. The loos of the enemy
in those actions was very considerable. Last night he sent fie.
twral Kellerman to confer with General Sir IL Dalrymple, is fin
concluded an agreement with the said General for a stispenston
of hostilities, until the conclusion of a Convention for the total
evacuation of Portugal by the Fretich troops. This agreement
contains nothing remarkable, with the exception of a provision
for soeuring the neutrality of the port of and the Russian
squadron. Permit me to congratulate your xcelleney on the
approaching conclusion of the misfortunes which have so much
afflieted country, sold to the recws e 1.% of s hie h your Excel-
lency s zeal and solicitude have so much contrifooed I hose
the honour to he, a ith the highest consideration and respect,
your Excellency's most humble and obedient Servant,
" AllTrfilt It EL:J.:W:I."
The follow log Protest is stated to have been made by Iler-
nardin Frei re de Andrade, General of the Portuguese troops :--
I protest, in general, on account of this Treaty being tehallv
void of that deference due to his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent, or the Government that represents him ; em account of
• whit may be hostile in it to the Sovereign authority and inde-
pendence of this Gosernment. and for all that may be at:oilm the
honour, seam , and interests of the nation; and, in particular, I
protest against ss hat is stipulated in the following Article,:
Article- I. IV. and XI I .—Bccause these Artldem determine
the surrender of Port itgueie fortified places. stoles, and ships to
the Luglish fences, w ithout solemnly decNring that this surren-
der is momentary, and that it is intended they should he imme-
diately restorril to the Prince Regent of Portugal, or the fa,-
vermomit that may represent him, to whom they belong, mid in
whine aid the forces came as auxiliaries.
Art. \ V I.—Because it permits the residence in Portugal of
the individuals mentioned in it.
Art. \% 1 I.—Becanse it attempts to tie down the govern-
ment of this kingdom. not to bring to ju•tice and condign puni.h.
moo those persons ss ho have been notoriously and scandalously
disloyal to the Prince and their Country, by joining. and serving
the French party. ; and, even if the protection of the Loglisli
army should be allowed to screen them ft con the punishment I twy
have deserved, still it should not prevent their exited-Mu,
whereby this country would uo longer base to feat' being ai„ain
betrayed les the same men.
First of the additional A rticles.—This Article ran by no
means bind the (4overument of the kingdom, as no reciprocal
conditions are stipulated.
I protest finally, on account of the wr.nt of attention to the
.afety of the inhabitants of the capital and it, ecu iron', nothing
having been stipulated in their favour to insole their not M•Mg
still sexed and oppressed by the French during their stay- not
evei an equivalent for w hat is established by Art. X's 1. and
\V I I. in favour of the French and their followers.
And to these heads I limit my protest, in order not In make
ton long a 114, passing oinr other objects of less importance,
such as the concession of 500 horses, which ss Os made uitboat
