He rose from lieutenant in 1809 to captain,promoted for bravery during the battle of Pamplona in 1813. By 1820 he was a major. In 1828 he took part in the revolt against D. Miguel, commanding a battalion which was defeated, retreating to Galicia with his soldiers. Emigrating to England, he took part in the initial unsuccessful attempt to invade the Island of Terceira under general Saldanha, after which he sought refuge in France. For his part in the battle of Ponte Ferreira he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and decorated with the Order of the Torre-e-Espada. Shortly afterwards promoted to full colonel, he took part in the expedition under the Duque de Terceira which invaded the Algarve, marching on Lisbon from the South. He took part in the defense of Lisbon in July 1833, and fought under Marshall Saldanha in the battles of Pernes and Almoster. Already a general in 1835 he was governer of Elvas, later governor of arms for the Alentejo. See Nobreza de Portugal e do Brasil, II, 457.*** Innocêncio II, 246. Canto, Bibliotheca açoriana 709.
