and injurious change (for it is not less so to the Pr"iros'
than to the British Refiner,) is one with which Br°z:l joy
not permit us to grapple by similar means. France' 01

largely participates.
I now come to the strangling case, which Bra-dile:;

"all is vanity," if not " vexation of spirit be r *
to be aware, that such productions of the Unite" h
imported and admitted for consumption here, sticca the
rice, &c., are also admitted on the same terms fro
and carried on the same conditions in the shill"l1 ofr
country under the reciprocal system. But do ,ve of the
admit the sugar .of New Orleans as well as that °
and for the same reason, that we have enough nt.°l),:tbt
is not the case with the other articles brought fr% to

them from all countries. I ask, then, where is ,thheibt
between our trade with the Brazils and that vitt"tteo
States ? and may it not have turned out, that hY,,,°,

He next professes to lament the want of erol)l°Y-01

for Lisbon,) and they go there in ballast. Wh,i3i,p/I

would they not do so, if they did not find 01°1- "ifee

burgh, or even to Liverpool, at 2s. 6d. or 3s. Per li '
in my last letter, that foreigners were subjectilooliti
to the same charges that British ships were. I' r
as quoted by Braziliensis, to prove the contrary, °.e,erl9
