friendship, inspired by the enthusiastic ideas
of liberty, with reciprocal Interests ever in
creasing in the progressive march OF hui
mainly, two nations in the new world seem
destined by Providence to serve as sup

immense territory, where everything is
cast by nature IN gigantic mould, for the
countries OF Jose, Bonifacio, aud Franklin
has been reserved new and noble mis-
sion--that of freeing America, once for all,
from The repressiye and unhealthful inf1u-
ence of retrograde and senile Europe.
Possessing liberal monarchy, at whose
head is a patriotic and illustrious prince,
who, through the benefits he has conferred
on his country, has established the idea that
monarchy is not impossible in any quarter
OF the globe, once entrusted to man or his
genius aud his principles, with progress

ed place among cultivated nations, with adj
mirabfe institutions that honor their found

zi, hitherto monopolized by Europe, to the
rich and superabundant products OF the
United States, giving them in exchange for
their machines, their fabrics, their flour,
and other articles our coffee, rubber, sugar,
&c. to promote rapid means OF transport
and direct telegraphic communications. to
improve by mutual concessions our treaties,
adding provisions relative to the free entry
into Bra1ilian ports Of North American pro-
ducts, as nearly all Brazilian products enter
free of duty here, is to give the greatest
possible increase to our commerce with this

ment of the highly humanitarian and peliti-
cal idea of the independence OF continental
