Lisbon News on Penafiel and Oporto Battles Revealed
From the Morning Post a Lisbon mail dated the 11th brings letters from Penafiel, head-quarters of General Santa Martha, dated the 4th, with insights into the fighting on the 22nd to 24th. The account suggests equal numbers faced by both sides, but notes shortages in ammunition for Santa Martha and describes strategic movements around Oporto and Penafiel as the defenders prepared for a renewed clash.
