SINCE the reported proje& of the Portuguese Go-
vernment„to emigrate to its Transatlantic territories,
this country (of which the following is a compen-
dious and authentic account), has naturally excited
much curiosity respeeiing its climate, soil, Se. &c.
Brizil is in length near-250 miles; in breadth it
exceeds 700. It if? bounded on the North by the
Mouth of the great river Amazon and the 'Atlantic
Ocean; on the :east by the same ocean;- by the
h of the 'River Plata, south r and by a 'chain of
mountains which divide it from Paraguay,and Ama-
. zonia, on the west.

The name of Brazil was given to this country
because it was observed to abound with a wood of,
that name. It was discovered by chalice, in .1.500,
-by ALVAREZ CABRAL, a Portuguese, who was forced
upon it by a tempelt.. They did not, hoWever, be-
gln regularly to settle and plant .the country till
1549, when they fixed themselves' at the Bay ,o 1 All
'Saints. and tounded4the cityof St. Salvador, which
stil:_cominueS the capital. They met with some in
terruption at first. from the Court of Spin, who
considered the %,,,xliole Continent of
_South AMerica
as belonging to them. The affair was at length
made up by:treaty, and it was agreed that the Por-
-tuguese should possess. all the country lying within
a certain line between the two great Tivers Amazon
and La Plata, and which they still eojoy.
CLIMATR, the northward t he. ohm* of
Brazil, as lying almost. finder ~the Equator,: is
.hot,
bo;sterous,'amLunwholesomes.subjett to great rains
and variable winds, particularly in the months of.
Marchand September, when they have, such deluges
of rain, with storms and tornadoes, that the country.
13 often overflowed. But to theseruth ward, beyond
the:tropic of. Capricorn, there. is no part ,of the'
world that enjoys amore serene and„wholesome,
air, being refreshed with the soft breezes of the
. ocean on one hand, and the cool breath „of 'the
mountains. on the otliel%. The land near the cocht'
is in general low, but exceedingly pleasant, being
interspersed with meadows and woods; but all the
west, far up the country, are IDOL-11141415, whePat•
issue many noble streams which tAI into the great
rivers Amazon and La Plata ; others running across:
the country from west to east, fall into the Atlantic
Ocean, after meliorating the lands, which they an-
nually overflow, and in their course turning multi-
tudes of sugar-mills,
Sort --In general the 'soil is extremely fru;tful,
producing sugar, which being clayed, is whiter and,
finer than our Muscovado. Also tobacco,
indigo, ipecacuanha, copaibo, Brazil-wood, which
is of a red colour, and chiefly used for dying ; it
has likewise some reputation in medkine, The
Porttiguese had Ion?.
,been in possession of Brazil
before they. discovere'd the treasures of gold and dia,
ponds with which many parts of the country abound,
and which have since made it so considerable..

TRADE trade of Brazil is very great, and
has increased progressively. This may in,some de-
gree be accounted for, by considering the Opportuf,
nittes which the Portuguese have of supplying theth-
selves' with slaves for their several works at a much
cheaper rate than any'other European Power that
has Settlements. in America. Its export of sugar
has, increased prodigiously. Anciently, when they
were without rivakin:that branch of trade; it made
the whole of their exportable produce. Their to-
bacco is remarkahly good, though not raised in such
quantities as in North America. The'Northern and
Southern parts.of Brazil abound with bottled cattle;
these 'are hunted tor their hides only, of which 'no,
,fewer than 20,000 are, upon an average, sent an-4
nually to Earope Theexport fleets rendezvous in
.the Bay of All Saints,. to the amount of more than
:100 .Sail of large ships in the months of May or
Jane, and carry to the Old World a cargo' little

-GOVE3INMFINT.—BraziI is. divided into fifteen
Provinces, Which
rare called Governments, or Gip-
tainsh;ps. Eight of these are more particularly vest=
cd iii the. Crown ; in the remainder, a sort of feudal
property or government prevails--.,-by .eomoa6t with

pled and cultiVated. They are all, ho'wev'er,, under

with this harbour, nearly surrounds it: This situa=.

But what sounds strike my ear 0 God ! it is
