SIR
The last time ] wrote you, which was from this
place some three weeks since, made promise to
furnish you with description of all the doings upon
the occasion of the marriage of Don Pedro, Empe-
ror of the Brazis TO the Princess Theresa OF Naples
A few hours before sunset, on the evening OF
Sunday, Sept 4, a large and taunt Brazilian frigate

exception the best appointed vessel In their service)
bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Taylor, and con-
tanning the person of the future Empress entered
the harbor escorted by Brazilian frigste and cor
vette and Neapolltan line of battle ship two large
| fngatc5 and corvette.
| The squadron had been slgnaled in the morning
| and all hands inside Were accordingly on the alert
| and as soon the frgate, containing the empress
or princess let go her anchor, the vessels OF war
| in the harbor including the squadron Just arrived
and all the forts, blazed away IN perfect agony
| Such another din / never before heard neither do
| / expect to hear such again There were then ly-
ing in the harbor American line OF battle ship,
one American schooner OF war, one British frgate,
one sloop OF war, one steamer, two brlss, and one
| schooner of war, one Danish brig one Portuguese

peror was ahoat; about fifteen minutes afterwards,
| his barge came out of the Mercantile Harbor, and

of war in the outer harbor, pulling for the ship

The Emperor remained on board until late in

BIO tcade were IN notion. lhis was the signal tor
one round of blank cartridge from every Braziliero
in port. About half an hour afterwards the barges
made their appearance IN the man-ot-war harbor,
and must confess that it was the most brilliant dis
play of barges ever behed. First came asploneers,
| about twenty large Brazilian and Neapotan man
of-war boats, two abreast, each with appropriate
| ensign and pennant flying; next came new barge
built expressly for the purpose OF dlsembarking the
| Princess, and the most magnificent specimen OF a
boat you can imagine, pulling seventy-hve oars,
| each oarsman splenddly dressed IN fancy costume
| of coored satin. Next came the Emperor and his
| sister Januari, in his splendid barge, which had
been refirnished and decorated for the occasion,
pulling forty oars and seered as usual by Brazil

sion tailed off with innumerable Brazilian and Nea-
| politan boats of all sizes and shapes. The young
Duke of Tuscany, brother to the Princess Theresa,
and LIST Lieutenant OF the Neopotan seveny-four,
acted as Marshal. The ships OF war manned yards,
and saluted as a matter of course, upon the Empe-
| perors appearance among us The Emperor went
on board the frgate, handed his future wife and her
maids of honor into the appropriate barge, stepped
into his own and showed of for the shore.

war kept upa continual banging, barely giving them

diamonds upon his left breast The Empress was

and secured by single band of diamonds from
Brazilian mines.
The Emperor's sister and the Duke of Tuscany
were present; the latter in hls appropriate uniform
