To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sight of the news- paper was enough to confirm the prince in his resolution, and to persuade the council of state to let him go. So three days thereafter (27th November 1807) the royal family, and fifteen thousand Portuguese with them, took ship for Brazil, the regent leaving a decree for publication to the effect that, for the good of the kingdom, and until a general peace, he had resolved to establish himself at Rio de Janeiro.
CHAPTER IX. THE PENINSULAR WAR.
AS soon as the French governm...ent had been warned of the prince's intention to flee, Marshal Junot received orders to intercept the exodus, principally for the sake of preventing the removal of the wealth which was to be carried in the regent's fleet. Junot, by a forced march, which had thoroughly exhausted his men, entered Lisbon on November 29th, just a day or two late. The bird had flown. So he resolved to make the best of it by carrying out with what speed he might the rest of the emperor's arrangements. What these were, the people soon got to know, through the indiscretion of certain Spanish commandants in Portugal, who were proud to think and to tell that the country was to become a province of Spain.
