| Nossa Senhora do Pilar. | Arthur Phillips. | This Officer is intelligent and active, and shews that he has been reared as a soldier; he is a little headstrong, but can easily be brought to reason. | Requires to be repaired and careened. | Joaquim de Almeida. | This Officer is very intelligent and has always served with much honour. | Ignacio José Peres, Lieutenant of the Infantry, and Estanislau de Almeida | The first is an old Lieutenant of the Regiment of Marines. He is fairly intelligent, and I have always seen him serve very honourably and obediently. My opinion is that he is deserving of promotion.
The second was a volunteer; he does his duty. | ||
