BRAZIL.
Ex- Minister Webb held an interview
yesterday with Secretary Fish on the
Brazilian Government. He denounced
the authorities there and says they have
no more respect for the United States
than for Hayti. He thinks we ought to
give them 3 good thrashing in conse-
Quence. It is understood the President
fully endorses the course pursued by
Mr.. Webb. 1t appears he was simply
carrying ont the instruction given him
by Mr.. Seward. 1t is presumed that the
Brazilian Government will make ample
apology to our GoyerHment on the arriv-
al of Mr.. Blow, Mr.. Wsbb's successor.
