NOTES ON THE CONDUCT OP THE ENGLISH IN PORTUGAL.
. (Front the Moniteur.)
" The army of Portugal has encoOptered obstacles
in the conquest of that kingdom, which arise froth
the very nature of things, and are the necessary re-
sult of an inactive system of defence, which was pro-
foundly meditated, and has been executed without
restraint, with a singular barbarity unknown in our
Eurrwan wars, for the honour of States and men.
.4•Tlpi Portuguese do not love the English ; the
latter know it. They have taken possession of the
Portuguese army, by filling it with English Officers.
The Portuguese general officers are no longer em-
ployed, but ill the fortresses and with the militia. All
the brigadiers, one or two prircipal officers in each
_ .

regiment, and a great number of subalterns, are Eng-
lish: Part of the higher order of Portuguese Nobility
t ollowed the- Prince Regent to the Brazils ; there is
other .part in France—they have removed from
rlace the few that remain. This system has excited
great complaints. There have been, and still are, fre-
quent quarrels between the officers of the two nations.
44 The capture of Ciudad Reslrigo, and particu-
larly of Almeida, without any attempt having been.
inadetorelieve those two fortresses, gave great offence
to the Portuguese. nation. The Junta of Government
was dissatisfied. Lord "Wellington perceived that he
had not sufficient influence over its members ; it was
determined, that the English Ambassador at Lisbon
should become a Member of the Regency, and that'
no act of Government should be executed unless he
cemented to. it. Then appeared several Decrees
worthy of the time of-Robespierre. One prohibited
the Portuguese, under pain of death, to talk on mili-
laty ,subjects, or, to converse on any other news than
what ,was printed in the Lisbon Gazette ; another de-
eroverdered the inhabitants, under the same penalty,
Yo acti a t e the towns and villages which the English
should abandon, to carry with them their provisions
and their cattle, to burn or throw into the rivers what
they could not remove, to destroy the mills, the furni:
ture, tg burn the crops that were not cut down, and
tC). let the- wine run in the streets.
.;.!4 At the beginning of the month of September, the
Marshal Prince of Elating assembled his corps of the
army in the neighbourhood of Almeida. Lord Wel-
lington immediately evacuated thirty leagues of coun-
try. He took a 'position at Ponte Marcelia, near
Coimbra. This retrograde movement threw the Por-
tuguese into consternation. The Regency became
alarmed ; the Portuguese troops began to desert ; it
was a common repert in the ranks, that England in-
tended to embi,uk them, to waste them afterwards in
expeditions in the West Indies, and in India. Lord
Wellington removed the fears of the Regency, and
appeased the commencement of the insurrection.
44 The French army err ered Portugal i the orders
of Lord Wellington were executed. The peasants
who did not fly, and who were afterwards seized by
the-Eeglish, were either shot or transported. Their
very troops pillll7ed and burnt the villages, whose in-
habitants hesitated to destroy their provisions and
ftitlicart„ .The road from Almeida to Lisbon was
a complete desert. We did not meet 2,000 peasants
.distance.
" After the battle of Busaco, Wellington caused
Coimbra. et) be illuminated 'by the way of rejoicing
the lampi employed on that occasion were still burn-
ing when the English were already in full retreat.—
Their troops pillaged Coimbra, and committed the
greatest disorders before they withdrew. , In six days
Welliigton ran from the banks of the Mondego to his
entrMchments at Lisbon. By the rapidity of his
march, the districts of the valley of the Tagus escap-
ed the system of complete extermination. ' The die:.
content was extreme ; the people of Lisbon broke out
ihtd iniurrectiod ; they declared that they would pree
vent
,the English from embarking* in the ports of the
Tagus. Then'was imagined that absurd conspiracy
(.f 60 individuals, nobles, priests, judges, merchants,
former friends or enemies to the French, the greater
nuifsber unconnected, with political parties, whose
der aim was to-attribute to the English Machia.
'Wiwi !het ruin of their country, and to predict that
their infamous oppressors would finish by evacuating
') e 'country, exposed by its very defenders to _greater
Loteors than any people have yet experienced.
‘. The ravage of the Palatinate, for which Louimia
*Ts to much reproached, perpetrated by an enemy's
4my, was nothing equal to the ravage committed
among the Portuguese by their allies. Among these
pretended conspirators, those who had most influence
to account of their birth, their opulence, their talents,
yere miter.' up, and sent to London. Others were im-
prisoned, and afterwards transported to the Brazils. ,
44- The English send to South America the Porta-
guesefamilies who are disposed to embark. They do
every thing to prevail upon those who hesitate to quit
the cottntry. The more people quit Lisbon, the fewer
mouths will they have to feed. The situation of the
English is alarming ; they are only 30,000 at most,
rd by their side are 40,000 discontented Portuguese,
ield'ers. Behind these are 100,000 refugees in de-
syair, and the immense population of Lisbon. The
I nglish rule 'only by terror ; they treat the Nobility
end the public with the greatest contempt. Every
ght is signalised by arrests, by seizures; provisions.
:tie above all price ; it is only by enormous sacrifices'
4.1 money that they are able taprevent an insurrection.
64 The English soldier receives at this time a pound
cf salt meat, a half ration of biscuit, and a certain
quantity rf rum. The Portuguese soldier receives
bread ; but only half a pound of meat, and no rum.
his inequality of distribution is the cause of discord
Between the two armies.
" All the refugees who wish to go there, are trans-
netted to the Alentejo. The others are hutted and
bivouacked outside Lisbon. It is not possible to enter
that city without a card of safety. The Government
causes biscuit to be distributed to the refugees. The
occupation of the Alentejo will completely starve
Lisbon, and produce a crisis fatal to the English.
46 The enemy has a great many sick. They also
lose a -great deal more by desertion than in any for-
mer campaign, They desert to avoid corporal pu-
nishment.

K The French army is in good spirits ; it has con.
fidence in its Commander, We have had no deser-
tion from the national troops. The army has few
ieiklin battalions. We may be assured, whatever the
Baglzbh may say, that there are ho de4erters."
