Government, with Insatiable voi &city devoured the t,

that Brazil might clothe the Nakedness of her own chi'.

abject deprodamre on the mother coyote!, because they
joked it oecessary to the security of their dossi•iors that the

to rescue frum the waters the diamonds deposited in their
beds, they were quickly stopped by the agents of monopoly
sod punished by immovable laws. If the superfluity of her
productions limited and demanded their barter fur other fu
reign productioss, Brazil was shut out hum the gearing
market of mations, sod consequeutly from all commercial
competition; thus no other coseme was left than to coolies
her trade to the ports of the souther (mushy, sod thereby to
stimulate more powei fully the vapidity, soil add io the loarloo

the better ktiowledae of his rights and duties, to *lslam

qualities with which Providence has endowed his native laud,
he was obliged to to lit Portugal to beg what little scraps of
isformation were to he found there, sod from tan consuy
be was often not persisted to relent.

Such has been the fsleof Brasil fur 1011111 l three centuries—
each the wretched pokey by which Portugal, always unjust
la her views, always greedy arid tyrannical, esdesvuured to
confirm her dominion sad her factitious splendour. The
caisson's and the Indians, the conquerors and the conquered,
their children and their children's children, have all, without
distioctiou, bees made subject to one g I anathema.
Aid forasmuch as the aneli.tion of power and the thirst of
phi are always insatiable and unbridled, Portugal never
erased to seed hither merciless bashaws, corrupt maxistrates,
and swarms of fiscal agents of every deniiption„ who, in the
delirium of their passion and avarice, lore sunder all mural
tie., boils public and private; thus did they lacerate the
bowels of Booed, which napprened and talkiest thews, is
order that its people, reduced to the last state of deeperat our,
might, like submissive ussuhnany, snake pilgrialase to the
sew Mecca, to purchase, with rich gift. and °Ream's, ea

was indebted fur her success to her animated sad vieorune

grateful parents and brothers have spitefully opposed to her
growth and prosperity.
Brasil bring naturally good and generous, though still

shoulders ill the weight of the throne of say august father—
sbe preserved in spicadoar the diadem which encircled his

The continuation of old abuses sad ;be addii ion of new ours
intiodueed pertly by weakness, privily by immorality aad

reform of the G tment—a reform fully authorized by the
lacrosse of knowledge, the violated ',gbh, of a country which
forme the greater sad the richer portioa of the Portuguese
nation, which nature has pecu.iarly favouied by its geogra-

convert them joke so owns hostile republics! Brt little du
the Cortes regard the misfoi tsars of Brasil. It is sufficient
for them that uppori deities may mow for taking sdrantate
or the disasters they create. Like the savages of Louisiana,
they would cum down the tree in get at one, at the fruit, ra.
they Shan gather it regularly from the branches.

The represestattoms and tirtllt• of the governing Junta,
awl the Deputies of l`erasatbucti, to rid themselves of the
European bayonets, to which that promisee was indebted for
its melancholy intestiae dissentious, were unsealing. Meao-
while Maid began to tear aside lilt thick veil whirl, coveted
lore ems; she perceived the purpose for which these troops
were destined; she iimaired into the cantos of the reception
that had be.g given to the proposals of the few Deputies she
bed is Portugal, and was gratleally lesisg all ►ope of im-
provement and reform in the deliberations of she Congress,
aad she at kWh foetid that the jistice of bee claims, and
the patriotic voices of her Deputies, wear disregarded.
Bel this was not all. The Cortes of Portugal well know
that Brasil was oppressed by the enormous debt of the trea-

numberless families would be reduced to ruin sod tom! indi-
gence. This was a subject of the utmost fmpornanc►, yrt

to give it a filial blow, taking from Brasil the saiplo• of the
provincial revenues, whith ought to have been paid into her
public and central r ry: and t►ey even deprived the
Bank of the onsagement of the eon'tatis which the King
my august father had conceded to it for raorigaging that
debt.

it was always answered el her that they were contrary to the
