The question at issue between the United States
and Brazil will IN few days, it is thought reach
satisfactory solution Our Minister TO Brazil in the
latter part of june requested Gen. Caxas the officer
commanding the allied forces to grant permission fer
Mr.. WaShburne. Minister to Paraguay to pass
the blockade of the Paraguay River, on his way to
Rio de Jeneiro to embark for the United States
This privilege was denied him by Gen. Caxias, but
was granted by the Brazilian Government. Mr.
Webb then demanded that the Commanding General
be censured for his refusal, and at the same time
asked the privilege OF ascending the Paraguay
River with the United States gunboat Wasp 10
bring Mr. WashbOurne to the coast. The Brazilian
government would not comply, whereupon Mr.. Webb
insisted, and threatened TO demand his passport. He
at once communicated with Secretary Seward, ask
ing for explicit instructions. The required insruc-
tiOns were accordingly despatched to Minister Webb
on Sunday last by the cable, and il is understood
that they fully support Mr. Webbs action and direct
him to insist on prompt compliance with his de-
mands, or failing, 10 withdraw his exequatur Min
lister Webb is acting entirely under instructions
from Washington. t.., 4
