Howard de Walden was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of Lisbon from 1833. ALS, 3 pages, bifolium, good condition. "Genl. [presumably 'General') Oribe - one of the Spanish Refugees - concerned in the late revolt in Spain [First Carlist War probably] is anxious to leave the country. His presence here is embarrassing to the Port[uduese] Govt, - & the [Present?] m[inister] of For[eign] aff[airs] as well as L[or]d Aberdeen. I have reason to believe would prefer his not remaining here - Under these circumstances altho I [underlined] do not give him a passport - perhaps you will be so good as to authorize the Commander of HMS Lynx to receive Him on board as a Passenger for England in case of his applying or he probably will do tonight for a passage - of course you will report to the Ad[mra]lty [?] having applied to you to do so - but confidetially [underlined] only as regards the wish of the Port[uguese] Govt as regards the wish of the Port[uguese] Govt [.]" Note: The only General Oribe mentioned (as far as I can see) on Google is Manuel Oribe, 2nd Constitutional president of Uruguay and founder of Uruguay's National Party. There is no information on Google indicating that he had a part in the Carlist Wars etc.
