Head Quarters, Cintra, Sent. S, 1903.
My LORD,
nave the honor to inform your Lordshp
that landed in Portugal, and took the com
mand of the army on Monday the 22d of Au-
gust, the next day after the battle Of Vimi-
era, and where the enemy sustained sig
nal defeat, where the valor and discipline of
British troops and the talents of British of.
icers were eminently displayed.
A few hours after my arrival, Gen. Kel-
herman came in with flag of truce from
the French general in chief, in order to pro.
pose an agreement for cessation of hostili-
lities. for the purpose of concluding a con-
vention for the evacuation of Portugal by the
French troops The inclosed contains the
several articles at first agreed upon and
signed by Sir Arthur Wellesley and general
kellerman; but as this was done with q
reference to the British Admiral who, when
the agreement was communicated to him,
objected to the 9TH article, which had for
its object the disposal of the Russian feet
III the Iagus, 1T was finally concluded that
Lieut.. Col. Murray, Quarter-master gene
raj to the British army, and gen Kelerman
should proceed to the discussion of the re-
manning articles, and finally to conclude
convention for the evacuation of Portugal,
subject to the ratification of the French &C.
neral in chief, and the British commanders
by sea and land.
After considerable discussion and repeat-
ed reference to me, which rendered it ne
cessary for me to avail myself OF the limited
period lately prescribed for the suspension
of hostiiites, III order to moe the army for
wards, and to place the several columns up
on the routes by which they were to advance,
the convention was signed, & notifications
exchanged on the S0th of last month
That no time might be lost in obtaining
for the transports and other ship
ping, which had for some days been expo
sed to great peril on this dangerous coast,
and to insure the communication between the
army and the victuaiiers, which was cut off
By the badness of the weather, and the surf
upon the shore | sent orders to the
'nH' and the 43d regiments which were on
