PROCLAMATION
BY LORD WkLLinGToN.

w d l. L.
Lord VisCount w llington, Marshal. CT enc.
eral, sc.
"The time which has elapsed during
which the enemy has remained on the
frontiers of Portugal, must have proved to
the Portuguese nation what they have to
expect from the French. The inhabitants
OF some villages have remained inlihem,
conhdiBg IN the promises OF this enemy,
and hoping that by treating with the enc
mics OF their country, they might conciliate
and mollIfy them, and inspire them with
humane sentiments, that their property
would be respected, their females presera
we'd from brutal violation, and their lives Sc.
cured.
Swain hopes! The inhabitants of these
submissive places have suffered all the e.
wills which cruel enemy could infl.ct-
their property has been plundered, their
habitatohs burnt, the women atrociously
violated, and those whose age and sex did
not provoke the brutal violence of the sol
diers, have fallen victims to the imprudent
confidence which they placed in promises
made only to be broken
the Portuguese mast now see that no
other means remain to avoid the evils with
which they are threatened, but deter
mined and vigorous resistance, ard firm
resolution to obstruct as much as possible
the advance of the enemy into the interior
of the kingdom, by removog out of hts
! reach all such things as may contribute to
his assistance, or facilitate his progress
This is the only and most CERTAIN means
to prevent the evils with which this coun-
try is threatened. The army under nv
command will protect as large portion
of The country as is possible, but it Is OBJ
vious that the people alone can deliver
themselves by a vigorous resistance, and
Ipreserye their goods by removing them out
of the reach OF the enemy. Inc duties
therefore that bind me to his royal high.
ness the prince regent Of Portugal, and
to the Portuguese nation, oblige me to
make use of the power aud authority with
which am furnished, and compel the
careless and the mdolent to make the ne
cessary efforts 10 preserve themselves from
the danger which threatens them, and to
save their Country,
s'In conformity with this, make known
and declare, that all magistrates and per.
sens in authority, who shall remain in the
villages or towns after having received or
ders from the military officers to remove
from them, and all persons, of whatever
class they may be, who shall maintain the
least communication with, or aid and as.
sst in any manner the enemy, shall be
considered as traitors to the state, and tri.
ed * punished as such an enormous crime
requires.
