1823. Carta de Joaquim Maria Torres, impressor, para um destinatário não identificado, membro do círculo de relações do Infante Dom Miguel.

Information letter from Joaquim Maria Torres, a printer, to a non identified individual who served as liaison officer to Prince Dom Miguel.

The author repeats all he has heard from a political conspirator, Cândido de Almeida Sandoval, and promises to continue his cooperation in stopping the planned treason.

These proceedings were opened in 1823 to punish a political conspiracy against the absolutist regime. Among the accused was Cândido de Almeida Sandoval, who had already been arrested by the former liberal regime for violating the Law of the Freedom of Press. Many of the accused were acquitted, but not Sandoval, who was exiled to Africa (first Mozambique and then Angola), where he kept ending up in jail and escaping from it. Even Jean Baptiste-Douiville (a French traveller who was in Central Africa between 1828 and 1830) met him and refers his activism in his diaries.
