Alliance among the Holy Roman Emperor, Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, and the Netherlandsthe number of foldiers already raifed, and to be raifed forth-
with; and as for that part of the million which is for the extraor-
dinary expences of the army when brought out of quarters, the
payment thereof fhall commence from the firft day that they
march out. Provided neverthelefs, that two months pay be
always ready at Lifbon, for the difcharge of the firft part of this
million; and as for the payment of the fecond part, as foon as
the army is brought out of quarters, two months pay fhall be
advanced beforehand, which fhall not be reckoned but in the
two laft months of the year.
VII. But if it happen that his facred royal majefty of Portugal
do not raife the whole number of 13000 foldiers aforefaid, fuch
part of the wages fhall be dedufted from the million of pata-
coons, as would be fufficient for the number of foldiers not
muftered.
VIII. Befides the faid million of patacoons which the confed-
erate powers ought to furnifh every year, for the pay of the
13000 Portuguefe foldiers, as is promifed, they fhall likewife be
obliged to furnifh 500000 patacoons for accoutring the army,
and other things that fhall be neceffary this firft year; and they
fhall deliver the faid fum of money at the time of the ratification
of this treaty.
IX. The confederate powers fhall furnifh, and always have
ready in this kingdom of Portugal, every year as long as the war
fhall laft, 12000 foreign veteran foldiers, viz. 10000 foot, 100
light horfe, and 1000 dragoons; which 12000 foldiers they fhall
furnifh not only henceforwards at their own expence, as far as is
neceffary, but fhall likewife arm and pay them their wages both
in quarters and in the field, and fhall furnifh the foldiers with
military bread, and the horfes with hay and barley ; which faid
bread, hay and barley fhall be afforded to them at the fame price
as they have been ufually, and are aftually afforded to his facred
royal majefty of Portugal’s own foldiers : and this fhall be taken
care of by his general receivers and officers. Provided never-
thelefs, that his facred royal majefty of Portugal fhall be at no
manner of expence for the faid foreign forces, befides providing
hofpitals and carriages, and every thing thereto belonging.
X. His facred royal majefty of Portugal fhall furnifh 2000
horfes in Portugal, to be bought with the money of the confed-
erate powers, for mounting their cavalry, at the rate of 40000
rees a horfe for every private man, and 60000 a horfe for the
officers: and at the fame rate they fhall be obliged to furnifh all
other horfes which the confederate powers fhall defire for aug-
menting their cavalry.
XI. Together with the above-mentioned 12000 veteran
foldiers, ten great brafs guns mounted on their carriages, and
equipped with all the other furniture neceffary for the ufe of an
army, except the mules to draw them, fhall be brought into the
field at the expence of the confederate powers.
XII. And with the arms for the 11000 Portuguefe, part of the
13000 which his facred royal majefty of Portugal is to furnifh,
there fhall be ten other brafs cannons from 12 to 24 pounders
mounted on their carriages, which guns, together with the arms
for the 11000 Portuguefe, fhall be the property of his facred
royal majefty of Portugal, fo that they fhall not be redemanded
of him, nor any price required for them.
XIII. The confederate powers fhall be immediately obliged to
bring into the field at their own expence 4000 quintals of gun-
powder, each quintal amounting to 128 pounds Portuguefe
weight, for the ufe of the expedition of this firft year; and they
fhall alfo take care to buy and bring into the field every follow-
ing year, as long as the war continues, 4ooo quintals more of
gun -powder, before the forces are brought out of their quarters.
XIV. The confederate powers fhall likewife fend immediately,
together with the foreign forces, two commanders or general
officers, who fhall have acquired the character of lieutenant
generals, of whom his majefty fhall be informed beforehand;
four ferjeant majors to mufter the army; four officers of horfe
who fhall difcharge the office of commiffaries ; two lieutenant
generals of the ordnance, 12 engineers, 40 gunners, 10 workers
in fire-works, 20 pioneers, all to be paid by the confederate
powers, in the fame manner as they are obliged to pay for the
12000 foreign foldiers.
XV. All the foreign forces which the confederate powers are
to fend to, and keep in Portugal, fhall not only be fubjeft to his
Portuguefe majefty ‘s command, but alfo to that of his gover-
nors, generals, and the officers who are fuperior by their pofts.
But for breach of commands and other wicked crimes, they
fhall be punifhed by the marfhals or generals and auditor gener-
als of the army, in the military way, as the Portuguefe themfelves
are or fhall be punifhed; especially for thofe things which relate
to the violation of religious concerns.
XVI. The confederate powers fhall give all aid and affiftance
to the king of Portugal’s undertakers, in exporting from their
lands all the gun-powder, arms, provifions, and all the other
inftruments and materials for war, whether by land or fea,
which they fhall defire, at the fame prices as the faid confederate
powers ufed to get them for their own ufe.
XVII. The maritime powers fhall be obliged to have and keep
a fufficient number of men of war on the feacoafts, and in the
harbours of Portugal, to proteft the faid coafts and harbours,
and the trade and merchant-fleets from hoftilities; fo that upon
notice that the faid harbours and fleets are likely to be attacked
with a fuperior force, the faid confederate powers fhall be
obliged before fuch cafe happens, to fend fuch a number of men
of war to Portugal as fhall be equal, and even fuperior to the
fhips and forces of the enemy, who fhall form a defign to attack
the faid harbours or fleets. And as fudden cafes may happen
upon the departure of the fhips of the faid confederate powers
from the coaft and harbours of Portugal, the faid confederate
powers fhall be obliged to let as many fhips remain in thofe feas
or harbours, as his facred royal majefty of Portugal fhall judge
neceffary.
XVIII. But if any powers make war upon the dominions and
territories of the Portuguefe beyond the feas; or if his facred
royal majefty of Portugal be informed that the enemies have
fuch a defign, the confederate powers fhall afford fuch a num-
ber of men of war to his facred royal majefty of Portugal, as
