Excerpt from The Freemasons' Monthly Magazine, 1846, Vol. 5
Junot marched Victoriously into the kingdom; the Regent escaped to the Bra zils, and Freemasonry received a powerful auxiliary in the French for a time; but, as it ma be supposed, with the downfal of the French, and the restitution of the old egime, came the former prejudices, doubts and jealousies, and the days of the Craft were numbered. 011 the 3oth March, 1818, King John the Sixth promulgated, from the Brazils, an edict against all secret societies, ih cluding Freemasonry; and again on the 20th June, 1823, a similar, though more stringent proclamation, appeared in Lisbon. The punishment of death therein awarded has been recently reduced to fine and transportation to Africa.
