Summary/Abstract: Portugal’s problems were on the margins of the main reports and analyses of this journal. As a result, the picture presented in it is not complete, although it did convey a lot of important information about Portuguese international and domestic politics. Reading this magazine, a picture of Portugal emerged as a very backward and poor country, which was the result of the lack of active state policy for its modernization. Only the peaceful policy of Portugal, which allowed it to remain neutral in the years 1782–1792, was positively assessed. These assessments of the state of Portugal and its policy were also to serve in order to point out the shortcomings and promote solutions that could be used in Poland.
