Another letter from Liibon of the fame date,

A pretty ul idea of the ucces ct an invaion oil fot
tug.l, may be formed from the following extract oil
letter dated
.ss ~ Ljgon, June 1871 1893.
s I" have not doubt, from the authority
received the Intelligence, that the king OF
Spain had been obliged to fgn a Permifion tor
the French to march through his territory to
invade Portugal but the difficulty that would
attend fuch an enterprise, the unanimity among
the Portuguefe Convinced of The falfa liberty
held out by the directory and their generals
under that name to rob, plumber, afaiinate and
impoyerfh every country they enter made me
feel very eafy about them. From the natural
advantages of this country, very few well
diiciplined troops, of not more than 10000 men
will defend it for ever aglinit an army of three
times that number; and the Portuguele have
at leaf, an army of that number at preient
beiides not lefs than two hundred thoufand men
who have enrolled themielves in the different
provinces, and are exerciiing every week--and
more, at .lealt one hundred thoufand that can
be impyefed into the lervice at a ihort warning.
How is an army to fubiilf in this country I?
All the frontiers of both Spain and Portugal
are 70 barren and totally uncultvatcd, that the
inhabitants cannot raife NOR than from five to
Gx months proyiGons for themielves, and are
obliged to come to the fea ports for fuPplies,-
In The iunmer months, mott of the iprings dry
up, and in different diaras they arc obliged to
go two, three and four miles to get water for
themlelves and. cattle. The antipathy the
Spaniards mutt bear them, would !, naturally
throw every obaacle in their way /; and above
all, the great confidence have in the wife policy
of the government to prevent it,"
