Brotherly Love. Don Miguel lately visited his army before Oporto, and at one time, in riding along the lines, was visible to his dear brother, Don Pedro—the two worthies, accounts state, simultaneously cocked their respective telescopes to their eyes, and viewed each other, "like two strange cats in a garret." On Pedro's putting down his glass, he remarked to Sir John Milly Doyle, "Hang me, if I see any alteration in the scamp;" and we have heard from Head Quarters that by a "curious coincidence," so closely did their fraternal knowledge and feelings assimilate, that Miguel, on finishing his examination of his brother's mug, exclaimed, "He has the same scheming vagabond countenance he always had."—English paper.

Event Details

Don Miguel visited his army before Oporto and was visible to Don Pedro, who was nearby. Both used telescopes to view each other like strange cats in a garret. Pedro remarked to Sir John Milly Doyle that Miguel looked unchanged as a scamp. By coincidence, Miguel similarly commented on Pedro's scheming vagabond countenance.
