And shall there be found men wicked enongh
to assert, that these atrocities are a consequenceof

quantity of money which, it Was said, they.possess-
ed ? 01 all,these, however, 'and still More execrable
au-twines, examples were given in the-city of Conn-
bra alone.' ; and the same xv-as done in other dis-
trits, with little distinctiou, Let nut,- therefore,
strangers. wcinder,
_if tiie Portuguese, cannot tie it
\4llll kindue,s or urbanity the French soldiers ;
them not call the Spaniards,barbarous, the P.ortit—
gorse vindictive ; the fault is theirs who have ex-
cited eternal hatred between the t,Ao Lotions, au„
have raised an insurmountable wall of separatTou.
The feeling of vengeance is ,not, it is true, a ge:-
nerous feeling ; but'it cannot be condemned in na-
tions who have seen then.Selvs invaded without
reason, without motive, and in a way that shows
a -design rather to exterminate and •destroy than
meow:fuer or subdue them. Btionaparte and his sa-
tellites appear abortions of hell, meteors of death,
whose greatest pleasure is ruin, blood, and death :
the unhappy soldier is much less culpable ; he fol-
lows the example of his depraved chiets.
i‘ Let it not be imagined from • what we have
said, that we are of the opinion of these_ gloomy
persons who think these two provinces (Beira and •
Estrewadura) ruined fot many years, and that it
%% ill be difficult to restore them : such men have as
little courage as they are barren in resources and in -
understanding.

. " The riches of a nation, or of a province, may
be divided into population, buildings, movables,
money, and lands. • In •popalation our loss has
been'small ; in this respect .the-System -ofevacua7
,tion has had happy 'effects. In Coimbra and its
suburbs,-for example) 40 persons were assassinat-
ed ; but bad all - the inhabitants remained, the
slaOghter would probably. have exceeded three or
Our loss in population, :then, has been; but
trifling ; and the same may be said with regard to
buildings.
In movables, the loss of the inhabitancs has
been prodigious ; from the want of transpirrts and,
of time, it became necessary to leave alrr,ost.all the
furniture, and money and plate were scarcely sated;
even the:e valuables were lest in a few instances:
Ariicies of 'furniture in Wood, peptts'e tlity
,riot. be carried otf, were burnt Or destroyed by this
barbarous and exterminating race. - •
" Slush lorists.are certainly to. be lam:awed, but

!hey are not in general so great cs may at first sight'
.Ipix-..fir. These French left in many places the
plun,tt.r which they had made in others ; in this
w:iy some persons are totally destitute of effeets,
while others have got,more than they ever had be.
for‘p. In the rear of the, French armies it is always
usual to see some of the lowest class, who plunder
what is lett by the Fretich, Much of this property
...ill be restored-again to its owners by
_the exertions
,idle Magistrates, as happened list year at Oporto.
With regard to the loss of such furnittire as consist-
ed of aiticles of luxury, we may perhaps be per-
mitted to observe,, that much cannot be said in la-
,vour of luxury in a country where the national in-
dustry has hitherto been small, and where . all
such objeas are purcha.ed with ready money from
the foreign merchant. Tables anti chairs may be
always. procured of the ordinary or inferior-quality.
" The quantity of money. plundered by the
French is inconsiderable : it is true they found

many families in the woods, whom they robbed of
all they that they had ; but on the other 'band,
from the removal of the population, they could not
impose those pecuniary contributions which they
formerly levied in the North, and which they now
in Spain. ,
We now come to the great source of our
wealth—our territorial property.
• " In Beira they have not destroyed the vines and
olives; . but in Est remadura many olive grounds have
been ruined, and this loss will requite many years
to repair it. The harvest of this year has also been
lost in many distriCts of the two Provinces;
_but this
loss will not exceed that of some other years, if the
farmers have seed-corn, and cattle to continue the
cultivation of the scil. • It cannot be doubted that
the resources of many are small, that some are
wholly ruined -by the invasion, and that assistance
will be necessary to enable them to continue their
-labours, so important id the public good ; but we
. dobbt not that all diligence.. will be • used to supply
'such assistance. Upon the whole, it may be said,
that the injuries ot' this invasion, at least the greater
part orthem, pill-admit of being repaired in the
course of a. year..
On the oilier hand, let it be recolleEted that
almost all public evils bring with .them some bene-
fits.' The earthquake -of Lisbon
.was the cause of
that city being rebuilt in a manner more regular and
more perfeet. Our present situation, by increasing
our necessities, ,will better develope our industry;
'and perhaps the time may arrive when our proprie-
tors shall divest thernielves of those capricious and
ruinous wants' which consume so great a part of
their stock; and we, shall begin to pursue with
- efficacy the best means for augmenting the cultiva-
tam of corn in our eoun,ry, so as not to be indebted
• to foreign nations for that necessary.
" The whole nation has seen and estimated the
wise provisions of our Governmerkt. with regard to
the s .b.iistence of Lisbon. the,reliet of the
who refuge there, the public trait-
•rat.-real cares %% ill not be lesi
01 repairing, as much as
possible, the leSseS of 'he fitiners and proprietors of
that part of the kingdom which has suffered irons
the invasion of the enemy. It is ptobable, that by
means of subscriptions both within and without the
llingcloin, their unturtunate situation mn sy be in.part
assisted or relieved ; and we have in the inhabitants
Of the town of Cub.) and of Evora -a recent example
of what may be etlecti.:d by generous minds."
