ANOTHER REVOLUTION.

Information has been received since our last
publication, of Revolution in Brazil, so COM
plete and decisive as to have compelled the .4b-
dication of The Emperor! The particulars of this
important event will be found in the annexed let
tiers from mercantile houses in Rio Janero, pub
Iished in the New York Mercantile Advertiser
and Journal of Commerce:
"RIo JANEIRo, April 5th. 1881.
Since our last respects OF the sSth uit a
spirit OF discomfort against the Government, and
hatred towards the Portuguese, have br oxen out
here and in some OF the neighboring provinces. -
The Emperor, IN consequence, has changed his
Ministry, and we hope the measures taken by the
government will check the growing evil. But
such has been the want of confidence created by
the jealousy towards the European residents,
that business is completely at stand, and little
or nothing is doing even in articles OF the first
necessitv; to which may be added very great
scarcity of money, as many Of the Portuguese,
VINO were the principal purchasers, put of their
payments as long as they can, waiting to see how
matters will turn out. The Chambers meet on
the Sd of May, and it will then depend upon the
steps taken by them, whether they restore that
confidence which has been so much shaken by the
late important events. The stock of Flour con-
tnues SO heavy that we see no immediate pros
pect of Improvement; and as some OF it has been
here long time, it will have to be sold for hat
it will fetch. Itmay be quoted at Is to Sl6."
Another letter of the same date says:
1.-The disturbances originated from the differ
ent views of the Republican Party and those of
the Portuguese residents here, who are still long
ing for the old mother country. The Emperor
has changed his Ministry twice, without effect.
Since the l. th ult. We have lived IN continued
state of disturbance. Armed men run about the
streets in the night, and even in daytime; and
there is scarcely night passed without five or six
assassnations. To-day the Emperor has ap-
pointed new Ministers. It is reported that the
habeas corpus is suspended; and these groups OF
armed men have been gathering together in the
suburbs of the city. Troops parade through the
city, but they do not arrest any body. Commerce
is at stand nothing bought. nothing sold. The
shops in some of the streets are all shut up. We
do not know when the present squat will blow

The Emperor. it appears from other papers,

induced him to issue proclamations, betraying his
