[1827]. Carta de Pedro Nicanor González, secretario, para Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Author(s) Pedro Nicanor González      
Addressee(s) Manuel López      
In English

Letter from Pedro Nicanor González, a secretary, to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author informs Manuel López about the outbreak of a civil war in Portugal, and about the first movements of the English troops.

The General Police Administration was closely monitoring the activities of foreign citizens residing in Portugal, also controlling their communications, in collaboration with the superintendent of the Posts. This letter is part of this intercepted correspondence from those Spanish military and intellectuals who, fleeing the absolutist Spain, had taken refuge in Portugal and were suspected of harboring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.

This letters refers to the beginning of the Portuguese Civil War, a conflict between liberals and absolutists fought from 1827 to 1834, which involved also other countries, like England, France and Spain.

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
