In the interval between this recognition of my services and my return to Rio de Janeiro, an unfortunate change had taken place in the Councils of His Imperial Majesty, introductive of persons more favourable to the interests of Portugal than to furtherance of the judicious measures contemplated by His Majesty for the consolidation of the newly-constituted empire. keywords: 11th; 12th; 1st; 20th; 26th; 27th; 4th; able; absence; accomplished; account; acting; acts; additional; adjudication; administration; admiral; admiralty; advance; advice; affairs; anarchy; andrada; april; arms; army; arrival; assembly; attack; attempt; attention; august; authorities; authority; aware; ayres; bad; bahia; barbosa; barros; best; bills; blockade; board; body; bonifacio; brazilian; brazilian government; brazilian squadron; brig; british; bruce; buenos; captain; captors; capture; carvalho; cause; cearà; certain; chapter; character; charge; chase; chief; chili; chilian; circumstances; city; civil; claims; clear; cochrane; command; commander; commanding; commission; common; communication; compensation; condition; conduct; confidence; consequence; consideration; constitution; consul; continued; contos; contrary; convoy; copy; council; country; countrymen; course; court; crews; crosbie; danger; dans; day; days; de janeiro; december; declaration; decree; delay; demand; departure; des; desire; despatches; determined; different; difficulties; difficulty; distribution; disturbance; documents; dollars; don; double; doubt; duties; duty; effect; effective; efforts; emperor; empire; endeavour; enemy; engaged; england; english; envoy; equipment; essential; evils; excellency; exception; execution; exertions; expected; expedition; expense; express; expulsion; extent; extracts; extraordinary; faction; faith; false; favour; fazenda; february; finding; fireships; flagship; fleet; following; force; foreign; free; frigate; future; gameiro; general; giving; gloria; good; great; greater; grenfell; guns; half; hands; having; honour; hope; hostile; house; illustrious; immediate; imperial authority; imperial decree; imperial government; imperial majesty; imperial order; imperial service; important; independence; individuals; influence; information; inhabitants; instructions; intended; intention; interests; interim; josé; july; june; junta; justice; kind; knowledge; known; large; late; laws; leave; les; letter; liberty; lieutenant; limitation; line; lisbon; little; long; longer; lord; lordship; manner; maranham; march; maria; marine; marquis; matter; means; measures; military; milreis; mind; minister; ministerial; ministry; moment; money; months; moro; mother; motives; national; native; nature; naval; navy; necessary; necessity; new; nitherohy; northern; november; number; numerous; obedience; object; occasion; offer; officers; official; operations; opinion; opportunity; order; original; party; parà; patents; pay; payment; pedro; people; period; pernambuco; personal; persons; piranga; place; pleased; point; policy; portion; portugal; portuguese; portuguese admiral; portuguese faction; portuguese government; portuguese squadron; portuguese troops; position; possession; possible; power; presence; present; president; previous; primiero; private; prize; proceedings; proclamation; promises; proof; property; protection; province; provisions; public; purpose; pursuit; question; rank; readiness; ready; real; reason; receipt; regard; regret; remainder; reply; representations; request; respect; responsibility; result; return; revolt; revolutionary; right; rio de; river; said; sail; sailing; san; satisfaction; seamen; second; secretary; service; shepherd; shew; ships; shore; similar; sir; small; squadron; state; steps; stipulations; subject; subjoined; sufficient; sum; sums; superior; support; surrender; taking; terms; thanks; time; title; tranquillity; transports; treasury; tribunal; troops; value; vessels; view; visit; viz; vous; want; war; way; work; year cache: 14479.txt plain text: 14479.txt item: #2 of 6 id: 14914 author: Dundonald, Thomas Cochrane, Earl of title: Narrative of Services in the Liberation of Chili, Peru and Brazil, from Spanish and Portuguese Domination, Volume 1 date: None words: 85162 flesch: 48 summary: Of these the most unscrupulous was Zenteno, who, previous to the revolution, had been an attorney at Conception, and was a _protégé_ of General San Martin--carrying with him into State Administration the practical cunning of his profession, with more than its usual proportion of chicanery.
