[1826]. Carta de Carlos Puerto, pseudónimo de Juan Caldas Montes, para Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Carlos Puerto, pseudonym of Juan Caldas Montes, to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author informs Manuel López about certain intrigues and events occurred in Portugal, and requests him to do various things.

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.
