Dismissing Portuguese officers of the navy in 1835

In the December 1835 edition of the The Sailors’ Magazine (p. 121) is a small account published what happened with Portuguese naval officers. In that period there was a civil war going on in Portugal with two crown pretenders. (1)b“No less than one admiral, fourteen captains, seventeen commanders, and forty-six lieutenants, have recently been dismissed from the Portuguese navy on account of their Miguelite opinions; and under the pretext of old age, three admirals, fifteen captain, seventeen commanders, and seven lieutenants, were placed on the retired list”.
