DEAR SENIOR BENNETT t.
The English language ~ not familiar enough 10
me 10 employ it with you, and perhaps mine own
Chat Is Portuguese is not easy enough TO you
50 shall give you in Frenche sketch OF the 'goings
on in this capital for / know you understand that
language as well as good Frenchman
And first, sir editor, must tell you that your valu-
able Journal which Is received here by the principal
Brazilian and foreign houses, is generally considered
as monopoizlng all the interesting news, both potl-
cal and commercial. As to our young Emperor, it
Is the only English paper he reads
For the last few days, nothing has been talked OF
bur the approaching marriage OF our Princess Donna
Jamaria with Prince .Adelbert, one Of the sons Of
William, the king of Prussia's uncle. This mar
rage has been concoctcd by the Austrian court The
Prince is expected here at the end of this month.
Our other beautiful Princess, Donna Francisco, is
betrothed TO the Prince de Joinville, who will soon
visit again our coasts.
The political horizon of the Brazilian and English
governments is lowering daily. Our treaty with that
nation has Just expired, and, thanks be to God
ministers and chambers, in accordance with the
wishes OF the whole nation, fully determined not
10 cede again TO England the immense privilege
she has enjoyed for the last fifteen years. The Eng
those privileges for three years more TO come: be-
cause, say they, our government did not give them
notice two years ago. The clause of the treaty on
which they rest their claim, runs thus:
60 This treaty will remain in force for the space of
fifteen years. CT was made in 1929 This time
may be prolonged. provided the two contracting par
ties agree tot. If one OF them wishes its recession,
itmus be minated two years in advance, so that the
contracting parties may be prepared for the change
However, this intimaon is not necessary If both
parties do not agree to prolong the time; the present
stipulation, that the treaty is TO last only for the def
Mite space OF fifteen years,s sufficient"
Like English politics, this is truly esuitcal
treaty. Therefore, to avoid every dispute our gov
Ouseley, the British Charge d'Affaires. This gen
tleman turned deaf ear and made no reply 10 the
communication.
Do You believe, Monsieur l'Editeur, that the En-
glish will content themselves with the right Of
search, and that Of poisoning the Chinese with
opium No, sir; being Englishmen, they wish TO
monopoize every power, and claim the right even
of imposing .reatles They require many other I'M
ust things OF us, which they hope may pass upper
cived, and thus continue to cucumber us with
their manufactured goods, amounting, in Rio ia
nero alone, TO. the enormous sum Of Ssl0Oc0,0o0
per annum whilst they take from us, return, but
a very small quantity of sugar and coffee. But sir,
we will endeavor henceforth to howl when others
yell.
What a favorable opportunity for treaty be-
tween our two governments Our intercourse is
increasing, vet it might be augmented considerably
Besides, we feel a sympathy, which is quite natura ,
for your nation; whether, because we consider
ourselves your coun,rymen, or because owe
our independence to the same means by which YOU
achieved your own.
We are very anxious TO know what reception
Lord Ashburton has met with from your govern
ment We suppose, however, that, as he is a
peaceable man, he was sent with an olive branch,
and will return to England without the right of
search.
