After that Brasil the great colony of Portugal, and was subject to almost as many restrictions as Ja- pan. Foreign vessels hardly being allowed to refit there, and none to land. When the French descended upon Lisbon, the royal family on board aman cf war, and directed their course towards Brazi', and there they held their court for a lo: time. Then exolusiveness was thrown off, an to go; and finally, after an almost bloodless revolution, was placed on the throne as con- stitatioral emperor.

If the editors of the Organ will turn to the twenty-fourth page of Cutter’s Poems, they will acquaint themselves with the author of those verses, which so happily fill a space in their paper.
