BrazH.--There is now but little doubt, that this
rich and magnificent country is lost to Portugal
forever. When the Braganza family fed 10 the
shores OF Brazil for refuge from the conqueror Of
Europe, it was generally remarked, that that coun.

the light OF colony. So il has p.sIved Don John

the banks OF the Tagus, and the palaces Of his
oreiathers; he has exchanged young and
tiourlshing empire for toltering throne, in the
poorest most Insignificant and most degraded coua
try in Europe.
There is every reason to believe that perfec!
understanding exists between the present govern
ment OF Brazil and the British ministry. The
monopoly OF the Brazilian commerce has been,

We cannot help thinking that our government has
