PROCI.AM ATION.

" PORTUGUESE !-By Heaven, and by JeSus
Christ 1, You have a Governor who loves you; whtir
is anxious for your happiness, and who will exert
himself to obtain it. What avail your turbulence,
your excesses, your want of that order 'and subor-
dination to which he would conduta you, anxious to
preserve your lives ? What opportunities have you.
not lost, of which you ought to have availed your-
selves against the Enemy, since you have negle&ed
your own resolirces! What signals do you not ex-
hibit to the Enemy, that he may entrap and surprise
you I—Portuguese ! Listen to one who loves you.
The French intend to strike a blow, fatal to you,
and you are lost if you are guilty of insubordina-
tion, or disregard to the Councils of your Governor.
Your firing, your beat of drum, your bcl3, give to
your enemies the knowledge or .where you are,
where your force, and where ,your weakness. From
your Enemy conceal gout power, that yoo may strike
the blow with more success; and thAt you may"- en-
counter him when he least expects your -approach.
By these means
,you may conquer Piro. Subjed
yourselves to 'your superiors in all and through all,'
if you ate desirous of viCtory ; otherwise be assured
you will meet only disgrace. From necessity, artei•
ibis manner, the !Eighty boll yields, to vigilance,
dexterity, and the little cloak. By whatever is sa-
cred in Heaven or in earth, by the sacred name of
Jesus Christ, the Governor implores you, that you
maintam subjection to your, Chiefs, conforming to
the 'regulations of your respe-til e companies, !I you
are ordered to a post, there you ought to remain un-
til the moment of combat and glory shall orrice. To
you who are in the van we first commit our cause,
and by valour diminish the number of our Eueinies.
You who are next in order, when your turn comes,
•.fulfil your duty by dealing d:.-structiou around you ;
and you who form the rear-guard, destroy the 'rest.
Your energy must be guided by intellietice—you
must be conducted. by wisdom in, order to be con-
querors.
Long live the Prince Regent c Long live Por-
tugal i Long. live the Portuguese
