1-We efforts 'of your admired 'heroism; and :yOurt
fidelity, they haye not tear one single moment ornit•
ted to appreciate the exertions 'made by your pa-
triotiSm to restore .our national 'independence.—
P‘rotl:i lour own irbpUlSe; you, Port uguese,colleed
in the North and South, and with the powerful and
-decisive assistance of tritish Armies, the lofty Ea_.
gleS of the Tyrant, who wished to impose on you
an iron yoke,- were fortAtyttely borne down to the
. .
ground. In vain his treacherous Generals had caused
the Portugutse Troops to, march to France, annihi
lated the Army, disarmed the Nation, gutted -the'
Public Chests, and Arsenals, and divided the For-
tunes of Private Individuals ;* all his perfidious de!.
Signs were of no avail ; your Ibve for your' Religion,
your Sovereign, and yonr.Country disconcerted them
-„ •
all. Yes, .Portuguese, you have immortalized your.
name; 'Spain and Portugal have ,known how to re-
sist the Tyrant, who has subdued the whole North
of Europe, and enchained the people of Italy. The
Peninsula was the rock where the forces of DUPONT
were shattered; who, in the deliriuth of his
.pride,
dared to Style himself the Arbiter of Nations and
Kings.,

•

" But, Portuguese, it is not enough to have con-
quered once, it is necessary, for the preservation of

liberty, to oppose an insurmountable barrier to, the
fresh exertions of the insatiable NAPOLEON. En-
couraged by his victories in Italy ands Germany,
and irritated by his defeats in Spain and Portugal,
he assembles his, armies and orders them to cross
the Pyrenees. He intends, like • a mountain-
torrent, to intindate with blood the provinces
of, Spain; the sole asylum of the liberty ,of the
Continent. He employs his whole force to
avenge hiS Generals and his beaten and dis-
persed armies, Put flight or taken prisoners. No-
thing obstructs the exertions of a tyrant ; to dispeople
France is of no moment to him, and he wantonly
sacrifices alliser youth to satisfy his ambition. ' Fired
cities, destroyed towns, neJcis
,covered With dead
bodies, are sights perfectly indifferent lo the feelings
of a Despot, who appreciates no other interests than
those of a desperate familY. Such, Portuguese, is.
the charaCter of bias:again:4 whom we must defend

ourselveS.
" What would beeothe of Portugal if the French
Arnjies, after the conquest of Spain, .should enter
our Provinces ? If a twelvemonth baCk, when they •
entered our', country as friends, they.marked their.,
steps with conflagrations, robberies, and crimes the:.
most atrocious; if after they had usurped the
preme power without opposition, they spoliate& the
sacred temples, imposed enormous. ontributiOns;
attacked the liberty, of individuals, sacked cities,
fired towns, and- committed atrocities which only.
belong to barbarous nations; what will not these
.devastating armies perpetrate in a country, the in
habitants of which gloriously declared, with one.
,voice, in favour of liberty incl independence,
To arms, Portuguese to arms! necessity elraas
the rising of the whole nation- in a mass; . arms in
the strong hand of a deferider of the country, are de-
cisiiie instruments of triumph. Government provides
for maintenance of the armies, and where the ordi-

quires, supply the idefipiency. . Shall it- perhaps -be -
