The Foreign Indications.

So far as the markets and the price of stocks be
regarded in the light of political barometer the ndi
cations point to renewed confidence in the maintenance
of general peace-tha u.s. the avoidance of general

turn and advances. English and French funds go up,

The idea that the loss of confidence in the public sta
bty of Europe would tend to divert capital to Amer

not yet been realized. American stocks generally are
dull-Rairoad stocks particularly So
To be placed against these apparently certain ndica-
tons Of returning confidence in Europe we have the
sertion of New York and other papers, based as they
say upon advices from private but perfectly reliable
sources that Germany is about to join Austria in her
struggle with France. Germany" means Prussia,
Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover and few other States
of little or no influence or power. These States
have sort Of confederation, the Southern Catho-
lie portion of which is carried along by Austria-the
Northern, Protestant portion by Prussia The South

Upon the whole however, look upon the indications

South America.

From the Isthmus to the Straits of Magellan there is
but one government that lay claim to permanence
we alude to that of Brazil. To be sure little Para
quay did have sort of Chinese isolation and mmobi
ty which might be mistaken for permanence but besides
that Paraguay is too unimportant to amount to any
serious exception to the general rule, it is doubtful
whether such deathke torpor the tyranny Of Francia
imposed, can be called permanence.
The last accounts from the Pacific inform US that they
have just queed an insurrection in Chill hitherto the
most stable and prosperous of the republics which have
arisen in the former colonies of Spain The government
has triumphed but whether the government the in
surgents were right we cannot say.
Certain revolutonists, headed by one Col. Agreda,
have Just been driven from Bolivia and have taken
refuge in Peru. Echenique is said to have invaded
Peru with Bolivian army, and that President Castillo
of Peru has asked for loan of five Millions and author
ity to increase the army to 10000 men, There is also
trouble betWiXt Peru and New Grenada. In Ecuador
they have two sorts Of governments something like they
have in Mexico. We need not allude to the State Of
Mexico and the petty States of Central America
Why is it that Brazil is permanent and comparative
y prosperous, whilst Mexico with about the same po
puation, is going to the dogs fast as it can go?
1t will not do to refer to race religion going tc
create the difference neither will the chical nst
tutions of Brazil and the republican ones of Mexico
account for it. The Brazillians and Mexicans botl
ofshoos from the Spanish Peninsula for the Spanish
and Portuguese are essentially the one people. If any
thing the advantage Of race is with the Spanish. The
religion of both countries is the same and for mon
archy Or republicanism Mexico has tried both forms
several times The real cause of difference exists in thu
social institutions of the two countries In Brazil thu
races have their legal division and status and serve la
Dor is compusoryn fact slavery is there established
by law. In Mexico the attempt has been made to bu(

there is obligation ofabor-there is no permanent,
and no prosperity No country contained dssimi
lar races standing the same footing and fourshed
