Portuguese government to emigrate to
Its Transatlantic territories, this coun-
try (oi which the following is compen-
dious ana authentic account) has natur
ally excited much curiosity respecting
its climate, soil, &c. &c.
Brazil is in length near $500 miles :;
IN breadth 1t exceeds 700. 1t is bound
Cd on the north by the river Amazon
and thc Atlantic ocean on the East by
the same ocean by the mouth of the
river Plata, South and by chain Of
,nOuntains which divide it from Para
quay and Amazonia, on the west.
The name Of Brazil was given to this
country, because it was observed to
abound with wood of that name. 1t
was discovered by chance, in 1900, by
Alvarez Cabral, Portuguese, who was
forced upon it by tempest. They
did not however begin regularly to set
they fixed themselves at the BAY of
All Saints, and founded the city OF St.
Salvador, which still continues the ca
pita,. They net with some interrupt
on at first from tao court Of Spain, who
considered the whole continent Of South
America as belonging to them. The
affair was at length made up by trea-
y, and it was agreed that the Portu-
Guose should possess all the country ly-
ing within Certain line between the
Two great rivers Amazon and La Plata,
and which they ssh enjoy.
