Wl:b regard to Francisco du Nitres, it Is prayed from his

plaer,be confessed dedming under oath that he bad allowed him-
self cal* /eluded by the picture which Colonel Monteire drew
of the state of the Natioo and the Govennueur. and that In con-
sequence of his persuasions be consented to attach himself to hr
party vildciralreedy existed. From the whale of the examinations
it is proved, by the strongest evidence, that the above-mentneted
prisoners were the iefluential promoters mid co operators of the
foolish and infamous took= or a wicked Insurrection, which
has been so happily discovered.
With respect to Francisco Antonio de Sousa, it appears that
while walking in his garden with Colonel Mootelro iu the end tit
February, the latter observe/ that It was now time to open their
eyes, amd invited him to enter iota the society : that the accused
asked the nature and objects otthe society. upon which Monteiro
said be could not tell :hese things until be became a tuenibe:; the
moaned replied, that he would not consent to johea sisciety whose
Objects be did not know; that :Wooten° therwards chewed him a
seditious proclamation In manuscript ; that he was introduced to
Wend* of Monteiro, whom he believed to be members ot ties so.
elety. Oa 3d June, Mootetro catered auto conversation with inns
a plan fur an insurrection. lir saw Moutriru deliver
papers to Cabral.
prisoner Pedro Ricer/ de Figueiro, after deniais on his first
rumination, confessed on the second interrogatories, that he
agreed to the proposal of Colonel Monteiro, who persua/ed hint
that the objec-• which the society had in view were legal and lau-.
stable; that he entered the society aln.ut the end of January, or
beginning of February.
Manuel de lents Monteiro confessed, that in the month of
May he accidentally became acquainted with Ensign Jose Jun.
quint Pinto da Silva, on the occasion of making tome observa-
tions on the Gazette. Ou the foW:wing day Pinto told hint that
he had many associates and irked*, and that he would introduce
him toe sociir y ; that some dais atter, Pinto gave him tote firs•
idea of the exietence of a plan for remedying certain public call-
, mines, which bad weir origin in the uabn.nided ialluence ot the
English user the nation, and 1.11.1 that the t ertons tegage.l in that
plan had an understanding with the Goverzrasnt, fur the purpose
of destroying that influence.
Mound Ignacio de Figueiredo stated, that he had been tedo:csi
to join the society by the observations of Jose Itlbeiru Pinto re-
&preens the state of public affairs, that be became the channel
for the curreepotideoce with A-rantes; that the object of the so-
ciety wet Said to be the regeneration of the country.
Maxiniano Dias Ribeira gated on his examination, that he
was lAILOSSAC with Colonel Mouteire. He was igzorant or the
aped of the society, but understood it to be more of the nature
at masonry than any think else.
Antonio Pinto da Fonseca Nives declared in his confession that
the first knowledge be had of the society in the Rock, was in
consequence of communications made to Irm by Antonio Cabral
in the presence of other persons, who sheaved hint two or th*e
seditious proclamatiuits IR a Mitre into winch they all went—
that

pooled hlm to Pinto's home, end left him there, being ignorant
as to what they were eager(' about.
He acknowledged chat Ise had done wrong in not denouncing
the papers which lie saw; that • Cabral told him that Gomez

Baron dltben Was also In It : being connected by frierdshlp sel!t!
Baron d'Ehen, !he accused then went to him, and asked him,
whether he knew of any consyiracy agaioct the Government, to
which the Karon replied in the a ga•iv.• ; accused then oh.

Friere were concerned in It. Ihe Baton de cared, !hz: a ifh
vett so bins the report was false; and that with respect :n Go!
mez Friere he would inquire into it: accordingly, on the follow
log day, the Baron told the accused that he had invited, avid
the whole was untrue. In the answers to the third interwato•
ries, he sad the Baton d'Ebeo hid told him that he received a
proclamation moiler a cover by the Lisbon courier, which procia
nia,:on the Baron chewed him, but he did not kow.v who be
sent it. He recollected that the same Baron told I,im, s',evrinr
bins the page of a paper which be had begun to write, twat he
vrsacompucinga letter to be directed to ?be Mershal.G-neral,, iii 4
order to intimidate him and make him set out for England. lr

news deserved credit. Meeting with Gom•z F:eire Cher. fore
and entering into conversation with him, he questioned ‘iro upon
the aullect, when the latter said, 'a My dear Baron, yon are • nix

eonv6.itlon, but that it came to his hand in the same %env nettle
Proclamation, and that he took a copy of it, sending the ortgloal
to England by tht packet to chew the state of puhiic opining in
Pottaga/. He declare' in his answers to the fourth inter-oea-
tory, that he sent the original to England, addreised to the Duke
of S.issex, and that he dfd tint place its receipt in his diary, be-
eau-e he was in the habit of not doing so with rimy letrers of a
similar deectiption. He had shewa both the Proclamatiota and
the other paper to Fonseca to see if he knew the hand.
It appears with respect to the accused Francisco Leite Satire&
Gana, that he declared u;:cto oath that he presumed that he was
apprehended on account of his hay s.g been for a few days h pos-
session of certain rapers delivered to him by his brother-1...1aw
Antonio Cabral Calheiros, who, after an absence t,f a year, vi.

With respect to the accused Verissimo Antonio rerreirs. tie

of Cabral which pretended that he (the accused) knew Any dung
about the society of conspirators.

It appears wial respect to the criminal Christovao da Costa,
that Ise declared, upon oath, that be did not kiiow of :he eats-
tence of the society, but only knew so watch, that on u e of the
three times that he Tart with Antonio Cabral Catheiros at Lisbon,
the latter invited him to Santarem to commusitcre certain busi-

length they finished the conversation by slgniiylng to the accused
that a party was formed, to which they perluaded hem tltat he
ought to join himself, and thus co-operate with their views; they
said that the chemical of the Marehtti G. neral and the
Officers was the wily mode cf gaining rank and tee power of ad-
vancing themselves: that the accused, being z.ntazed at such
proposal, and bring undecided v:-tut to answer, toll them that he
did not feel disposed mien) such a party. The accused concluded
by observing, that be had always ree.sted the suggestions made I
to host, and Jiould of himself have proceeded against Cabrayset
for a just fear of the law; and that if Cabral had communicated
these summations to him tete-a-tete, he would have made him
irepent of his rashness in spite of his own jut dread of the law.
