Ithe well-being and handness of my subjects, and
'endeavouring to draw as closely as possible the
union and reciprocal interests of the United King-
dom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves, to
ithe which would conduce much ; the not only
onaking this city the entrepot of merchandise
which are exclusive of my Royal Treasury, but
the promoting of the consumption of our own
manufactures by such a preference as shall I),
compatible with our existing relations and treaties,
have been pleased to mdaM, that all articles of
the manufacture of Portugal which may be neces-
sary for the use of my Royal hotrsehild, and for
the army or navy, as well of this province of Rio
de Janeiro, as of the other provinces of the king-
dom of Brazil, shall be supplied in preference by
t
the Royal manufactory of silks, and the other ma-
nufactories of these kingdoms, through arrange-
ments that shall he made by the President of
lIIy Royal Treasury, to the Administrator-
!
Genet al of the same in these kingdoms, drawing

ICIRCULAR TO THE GENERAL OF THE TROOPS OF

THE CAPITAL, AND TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE
DIFFERENT CAPITANIAS.

" Illustrious and Most Excellent Sir,—lt being
determined in the 3d paragraph of the Royal Pro-
clamation, having the force of law, dated the 28th
of April, 1809, that all the furnishings of our
troops shall be supplied in preference from the
manufactories of this kingdom ; and that foreign
manufactures shall not be employed for that pur-
pose, except where it happens that the natives
eitlier of Portugal or Brazil cannot supply them;
and an object of so much consequence to the in-
;crease of the manufactures, the riches, and pro.:
isperity of the kingdom, not failing to merit the
attention of the King, his Majesty has been
`pleased, out of a desire that such wise and pater-
nal provisions may be to order that your
Excellency, taking steps without loss of time to
examine and calculate with regard to every one
of the regiments of the line, the quantity both of
woollen and linen cloth necessary for their equip-
,ment at the. established epochs, should transmit
[in exact and circumstantial account 'to the Office
lof the secretary of state, of the amiumt required
of these articles, that his Majesty may give orders
for their regular importation from the manufacto-
ries
lof Poi tugal ; the rule fur such supplies in
(that manner remaining confirmed.
