This decree announces the creation of the Military Divisions of the Royal Police Guards, and is followed by a plan of its organisation. This plan, with the title “Composição, E Regulação da Divizão Militar da Guarda Real da Policia do Rio da Janeiro” includes tables of salaries and 24 items of regulation. This gendarmerie was to be organised in the same manner as the military police force which the Prince Regent had organised in Lisbon. The force was to be drawn from Infantry and Cavalry Units.

Camargo describes the first edition as being 8pp. with small spelling differences, making this one of two later editions.
