equal to 1,800 reisj to be paid before
taken possession, or sold for terms of five
years, the emigrants paying sis per cent,
interest yearly, and receiving the title of
property only after having paid for the
land sold.
The laws in force grant many favors to
emigrants, such as exeinption from ini-qiori
duties on all objects of personal use,
implements of trade, and agricultural im-plements
and machinery.
Emigrants will enjoy under the Consti-tution
of the Empire all civil rights and
liberties which belong to native horn Bra
zilians.
They will enjoy liberty of conscience in
religious matter-, wiil uol be persecuted
lor motives of religion, but they must re-spect
the religion of the State*which is the
Catholic.
Emigrants may bteonie naturalized citi-zens
after two years" residence in the Em-pire.
and will be exempt from all military
duties except the National Guard (militia)
