Hon. r. r. Aeaa;e's Speech 10 tie En,pe-
ror Of Brazil, on tie 18th December, 1857.
SIREi:--I have the honor to present to
your Imperial Majesty my credentials as
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary at the Court Of Brazil.
In accrediting Minister to this Govern
ment, mine is not thereby merely discharg-
ing courteous duty to the greatest power
of the South American continent, but is
giving expression to its sincere desire to
unite with the Imperial Government of
Brazil in maintaining policy that shall
forever bind the two countries in bonds of
peace and friendship; give additional life
and energy to an already growing & pros
porous commerce, aud finally result in the
permanent wealth, prosperity and power Of
two great nations, in whose destinies are
wrapped up those Of two great continents
in which they respectively exist.
My Government is duly impressed with
the points ef resemblance and identity Of
interests which should make the ties be-
tween the two countries indissolull e,, and
direct the policy and aspirations of each.
An equal extent Of territory Of gigantic
dimensions, gives to each nation an assur-
ance of future power, that lifts it above the
reach Of uneasy apprehensions, and imparts
to its position dignity that belongs only
| to conscious merit.
Their approximation in many respects,
in their political, constitutional organiza-
ton, is well calculated to engender politi-
cal and social sympathios, promotive Of mu-
tual benefits and future commercial prog
ress while an institution common to both
countries, fixed and deeply rooted in their
soil with many hostile prejudices to en-
counter from withcut) does now establish
an affinity between them, and will insure
for mutual defence, a unity Of action and
feeling that will prove inyincble in the fu-
ture.
The President Of the United States, sire,
will at all times be happy to be assured of
the health and happiness Of your Majesty
and the Imperial family Of Brazil.
