non commissioned officers * prvates who lay down

they had no right 10 interfere with the affairs OF
PortTgai-that Don Pero, having accepted the
crown OF Brazil cannot lay claim TO that OF POrtu-

who had none hinself-That the acknow ledg meut
of Foreign Powers is of no weight against iegiti-
macy, as proved by the case OF Philip w. OF Cas-
tile, and III. OF Portugal and by that of the Empe
