avowed to the Emperor
To these advances his Imperial Majesty made reply
full Of that useful and characteristic prudence which d
tngushes Don Pedro H. He gently and inofcnsively
turned aside from the temptations and afluenehts of
American diplomacy; and, replying couitfously and
kifdlt to th. personal passage in MIR. Meads address
contcnted himself with acknowledging the duties imposed
Brazil by its position in South America, ard assured
the United States that the only desire Of his gov

From this reply may learn how easy would be in
government to place relations with Brazil on
and stable foundation The natural allies of that
empire to be found in Europe, not in the United
States and to to England all the advantages in
Brazil which its government has thrown away, IL only
requires much sense and regard for English
interests President Buchanan has in this instance,
shown he exercises ON behalf of the United States

destroyed the revivng liberty of my country and because
in the situation in which am placed death for me

Being near the close of my career WISH however to
make last effort to assist Italy, whose independence has
hitherto made me pass through 40 many pers and to
submit to many sacrifices She the constant object
of all my affections aud it is that idea which wish to

In order to maintain the balance OF power IN Europe,
it is necessary to render Italy independent ot 70 loosen
the chains by which Austria holds her in bondage Shall
ask that for her dcliveapcc the blood of Frenchmen
shall be shed for the Italians? No do not go far
that Italy demands that France shall not interfere
against her. and that France shall not allow Germany to
support AtEtria the struggles IN wnlcn she
bas be engaged This Is precisely what your Malcs

depends the welfare or the tsortune Of my country the
life or death OF natci TO which Eifope is iii great
measure indebted for her civilization.
Such is the prayer whlc from my cell, dare address
to your Majesty not despairing but that my feeble voice
may be heard beseech your Majesty, restore TO Italy
the independence which her children lost in ls49 through
the very fault of the French Let your Majesty call to
mind that The Italians anlons whom my father, joy

Majesty will only be vain Illusions
May your Majesty net reject the last prayer of patriot
