LUboD, 28th April, 1 809.
I have had the honor to receive the representation which you addressed to me yesterday, and I assure you that I am not insensible to the dangers which threaten the southern provinces of Spain and the Kingdom of Por- tugal.
With every disposition to meet and avert those dangers, I am concerned that I have it not in my power to do all that I wish ; and, particularly as the security of the Kingdom of Portugal being the principal object entrusted to me, I cannot divert fro...m it the forces which are necessary for the accom- plishment of all the other objects which you have recommended to my attention.
You must be aware that the forces of this Kingdom are but in their in- fancy in respect to organization, discipline, and equipment ; and it is not with troops in this state that any reasonable expectation can be formed of success against the veteran and disciplined troops of France, notwithstand- ing that I have every confidence in the valor, the zeal, and the loyalty of the troops of Portugal.
