PORTUGAL.
Lord Beresford, or in other words, "His Excellency the Marshal General, Marquis of Campo-Major," has sailed from Portugal for Rio de Janeiro. Previous to his departure, he addressed a general order to the army, announcing his determination to "present himself in the royal presence." From this order, we are led to believe that this visit to the Brazils, arises from the derangement of the kingless kingdom. One of his objects is "to make all possible exertions to ameliorate the state of pay and allowances, which unfortunate circumstances have caused to be so much in arrear, and by which delay of payment his Excellency knows and laments the privations which many excellent and deserving officers have suffered; and on this point he doubts not that his majesty, with his accustomed regard to his army, will make decisive arrangements."
"The supreme command of the army during the absence of his excellency, will be lodged with the most excellent lieutenant general Francisco de Paula Leite."
