with that regard for good ordertnd cleanliness

BILE The type and cases are execraoie-She
nyesses anti6uated and worn out hand machines
the pyinters wretched creatures-and the prices
,oi cents per LOCO ems l can hardly believe
that these people know there is such thing as
steAm press in existence and if Mr.. Hoe would
send out one of his presses think he would find
a purchaser for it. The leading daily papers are
the Mercur1o and the ImpresSarlO; the Govern
ment is interested in one or both of these papers,
and would, no doubt, buy press for them II
good opportunity offered. They have good CIR
culation, and are making money. Their printers,
however, do not understand the rights and the
dignity Of labor as they are understood IN the
United States.
THE FEVER AT RIO.
You have been fully advised Of the late dread
fol mortality in Rio Janeiro in consequence the
introduction there, by a SLAYER of kind Of fever
peculiar to the coast of Africa At the period of
nv departure from Rio, some three months ago,
the disease had partially subsidized but in conse-
ouence Of the near approach OF warm weather its
REMEMBRANCE in a more dreadful form, was daily
apprehended. / learned during my stay that so
profoundly impressed was the Government THE
necessity of doing something to prevent revival
Of the disease, that the Cabinet was discussing
sells from the coast Of Africa. Such measure
would seriously affect the slave trade, which, in
spite Of the laws Of Brazil and her treaty stipula-
tions, is still carried On.
TIE SLAVE TRADE
There are 10 the Brazilian Government other
conclusive reasons why an embargo should be
placed upon vessels from the ports Of Africa. One
which might be urged, was the prospect OF dltti'
culties between Brazil and England, arising from
the severe and active measures which the latter
country is taking against vessels engaged IN the
slave trade The English Government has signi-
fed, in various ways, its belief that the Govern
ment Of Brazil secretly encourages the slave trade.
Hence the ports Of Brazil are constantly block.
AIDED by English men ofwari and every vessel
entering or departing is boarded and searched,
if in the Judgment Of the English, there are good
reasons for suspecting that she is a SLAYER.
have already informed you that the American
steamer Confidence from New.YOrk, in which |
entered the harbor of Rio Janeiro. was boarded
off that port at 4 O'Clock, M by armed boat
from an English vessel of war. This incident is
conclusive proof of the accuracy OF the state
ment which l have just made respecting the
searching system
PARTIES IN BRAZIL
From the best intelligence which was enabled
to gather in Rio Jsnero during a very bret stay
in that city, was persuaded that there were
by the English in relation TO the supposed encour-
sgement given TO the Slave trade by the Brazilian
government There are in Brazil two distinctive
Observation-Disclosures and antagonstic, not IN poll
tcts alone but in Society, and in the various COM
mercial and financial enterprises in which that
country is so largely engaged. One OF these is
called the Portuguese party-the other the Bra
ziliNn party. Both are represented in ell the de-
partments of the governme MT tut their strength
is unequal; the Portuguese party is the strongest
not in blood and sinews, but in money and in In
teect. The Portuguese party is represented IN
the person of the Emperor, who is brother TO the
present Queen of Portugal. The influence OF the
Church, which in Catholic countries is always
overwhelming, is also enlisted on the side of the
Portuguese. They are in fact the great monetary
and monarchical power Of the country which the
Brazilians only half succeeded In throwing oft in
the late revolution. The Brazilian party is the
popular party-the strongest numerically but the
weakest in talent aud money. The animosity
subsisting between these parties is most lnvete-
rate and irreconcileable 1t is deep and impla-
cable hatred which can only be eradlcated by the
utter extinction Of one or the other. The identi
ty of these parties will be sufficiently indicated
when it is observed that one is the party OF the
people" and that the other is " the menarchical
party" The last is the party which it is univer-
sally conceded secretly encourages the slave
trade while the former discourages it by every
means in its power So far then as the Brazilian
popular party is responsible for the acts OF the
Portuguese, in their individual but not in their
public capacity, (for the Portuguese representa-
tives in the government profess to be warmly OPP
posed to the slave trade) so far they are amena-
bic to the charge which is made against ''the gov
eminent Of Brazil" of encouraging the slave trade
The truth is that the masses of Brazil are cruelty
oppressed by the lordly Portuguese and that II
thew must suffer the horrors OF war they will have
70 benr il as one of the train of evils which des
potism and misrule has brought upon them.
