imputed to Us faults which he himself had committed,
to depose him front the Adjutant-Generalship, causing
him to retire to
Then thi corn olving upon me, I resolved
tojnter into the province of Minho, and caused the
army to march to t left bank of the Tamega, near
arante, where, ing myself in contact with the
inifibitants It th- righ bank, I vas 'prepared for the
surprise of the enemy's troops on the day when new in-
trigues exciteJ at the headiusrters of the Marquis
obliged me to a sudden, nocturnal, and precipitate
march from thence to Larnegn, in the night between
the 17th and 18th of December.

Here the said Viscount de Canellas came again upon
the stage, and placing himself in contact with the Vis-
count de Varzea, whom he calls his son, because he is
married to his niece, the Viscount being his cousin, to
whom he gave a portion on her marriage, after at-
tempting in a manner, as perverse as efficacious, to de•
rive me of the command of the army, they succeeded,
by means of an insurrection of the troops, and this eon=
duct being punished by the Divine vengeance; they
ordered a march upon Vizeu, with the intent of uniting
with the divisions of Magessi and Tenet Jordao.
Having arrived at that city, they began to enlarge
their party, by inviting to joie it. Viscount de Molellos,
whom they commissioned to go and treat with the said
Magessi and Telles Jordao.
After this we set out on the toad to*Celorico, and
being in the village of Sampaio, on the 29th of the last
month, I set out on the same night to have a conference
at Celorico with all the said Generale. Then, the said
Viscount de Canellas returned to the exercise of the
Adjotant-Generalship. The two Viscounts de Varsea
and Molellos being appointed to form a plan for the
operations of the campaign, es if the Viscount de Ca-
melia, was not himself sufficient to paralyze us, or if
there weft not sufficient facts to save individuals from
conduct more or less suspected. Bet, Royal Madam,
that which I bold decided is, that we have consumed
time uselessly, and without gaining for ourselves any
ground to promote the sacred cause. In the meantime,
we are losing public opinion, and the adherence of the
people is weakened, or prepared for revolt.
These evils, which deserve the highest consideration
of your Majesty, derive their origin in a great part
from the forced inaction which the Viscount de Canel-
las has imposed upon the Supreme Provisional Go-
vetnment, which he not only disobeys, but which,
after having been installed in Braganza, sworn to
and recognized on the 28th of November, he, of his
own will and pleasure, declared dissolved. In this
manner this Viscount constitutes himself the irre•
sistible arbiter of the future fortune of the Royalist
army. The respectful love which I entertain
.to-
wards my legitimate Sovereign, to your Majesty,
and to my distracted country, having determined me
to save it, or die with it, in proportion as it thews
the purity of my zeal, convinces me of the necessity
of bringing to the knowledge of your Majesty these
truths, not remote from your high penetration and
wisdom, recalling to your Majesty the necessity for year
Royal care. Perhaps on the preservation of this
Government, installed and recognized in Braganza, de-
peeds the salvation of the cause in which we are en-
gaged, this Government being authetized by your Ma-
jesty not only for creating concert in future operaticuu,
and for providing subsistence for the troops, but like-
wise to carry on the war, and to remove intrigues.--
Your Imperial Majesty has only to command, in order
tube served.

May doe protect the We of your sacred Majesty for many years.

Senhor Derramado was against asking for the infer-
relation proposed to be demanded, and more particularly
against the production of the correspondence, on the
ground that it might contain secrets respecting the
operations of the enemy's army, which it would not be
convenient for the Government to disclose.
Senhor Magalhaes was of opinion, that the doubt
thrown out was not of much weight. If the Govern-
ment thought that the documents ought not to be pub-
lished, it would say so, but it did not become those
whose duty it was to ask for them to start such
objections.
Senhor Soares Franco said, that the documents should
be asked for under the condition that they contained
nothing which it would be improper for the Govern-
ment to make public.
Senhor Mcwaes Sarmento, in replying to the argu-
ments against the production of the documents,
exclaimed, with his usual enthusiasm and patrioti,
warmth, "It is necessary that the evil-doers should be
known, and th4t their names should be announced, in
order to their being devoted to public execration, now
that they hare escaped the punishment which they so
justly nselited."—(Cries of " Agreed, agreed.")
Senh,,r Serpa Machado observed, that the applica-
tion made for _the documents was vague and indeter•
minate. He was of opinion that the Chamber should
not call for any explanations beyond such as were
necessary to lay a foundation ler a legislative measure
—such measures being the proper business of the
Chamber. He insisted on the great advantage pos-
sessed by the Representative Governments in the sepa-
ration of powers. By this division, which was esta-
blished by the Charter, the Chamber was limited to the
making proposals of laws, deciding upon them, and
decreeing accusations, not against all public officers,
but solely against the great functionaries of the &ate.
To exceed those powers would be to overstep the bona.
