LETTSR WRITTEN WITH HIS OWN HAND SY: THE
ICING TO HIS SON, HICROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE
DAN ?EURO DE ALCANTARA.
My Son—h is.time to put as end to the fatal citssen -
tions which have disunite.' the two kingdoms of Pcrtugal
and Brazil, which have done considerablt injury to their
inhabitants, and deeply afflicted
.fir heart. The
great events whieb have recently occurred here, by re-
storing to me the Crown, surrounded by the same
splendour it fonnerlT had, have afforded me thehappy
opportunity of inviting 3 ou, with open arms, and,.of
bring ready to receive in my bosom the filial sentiments
with which lam convinced !ou are animated. - <
" I have already sent orders for the inittediate stts-
pension of hostilities in Bahia ; I have removed all the
obstacles which the Cortes had opposed to the recipro-
cal communication between the tsvo.kingdoms; I retain
the exclusive privileges in favour of the trade of Brazil,
and no alteration exists on my part which can produce
the smallest change in the former
.relations of the Por-
tuguese of both hemispheres. I therefore hope that you
will, on your part, contribute to their early re-establish-
ment on behalf of these good people, over whom you
are one day to reign, to whom we are so much indebted,
and whose prosperity ought to be the object of out wishes
and of our cares, and even of our sacrifices.
" I trust that you will correspond, with pleasure and
frankness, to these my sentiments, and that you will
comply ip everything that may be benefiCial to the two
kingdoms, and conformable to the dignity.of our per-
sons, of our house and family, and with the true inte-
rests of all Portuguese.
" Goo bless you, in order that you may continue to
merit the blessing which with pleasure I now bestow on
you, as a father who dearly loves you.
