measure confined to The importation of
Eraz ilian products into the port OF Lis

entirely to the consumption Of Portugal
Asa corrective of this evil, he proposes
to establish free Porto favour the ex
portation of all Brazilian products for
Portugal in National Vessels, free of du-
ty, and the re-exportaSion to be subjected
to light duty--at the same time retain
