OUR DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
WITH BRAZIL.
Minister wObb's CorrespOndence.

Minister wobb's Correspondence.
-..-.- NEW York. June 81.
The following is condensed account
OF Minister Webb's correspondence
with the Brazilian Government:
In October, 1856, the American ship
Canada got ashore on the Garvls reefs,
near the mouth OF the Rio Grande Del
Norte. The Brazilian soldiers in spite
OF the remonstrances of the Captain
and crew, seized the vessel, and selling
her cargo, deposited the proceeds in the
Brazilian treasury. Reclamation was
made by our Government. The own
ers renewed their claims in 1864,
through Minister Webb. for damages
and interest to the amount OF S4OO,O ,OUO.
Finally Mr.. Webb was authorized to
compromise on the payment OF $40, GOO,
or one fifth the original amount. In
April last Baron De COlegepe, on be-
half of the Brazilian Government re-
iected this offer on the ground that the
Brazilian Minister at Washington had
not advised this Government that
he had been informed by Mr.. Seward
of his having issued renewed instruc-
tions to the minister in Brazil, ana
would wait until officially informed of
the fact through their own minister.
General Webb wrote to the Baron pro-
testing against his taking such absurd
ground, and declaring that If 1t was
port on the first OF May. Minister
Webb received Il note from the Brazil
liam Foreign Office, stating that no dis.
resnect whatever, was intended toward
him; but that the American Govern
ment not having announced to the
Brazilian minister In Washington, the
result of the promised reconsideration,
nor of the issue OF renewed and modt-
fed instructions to General Webb. He
keeps his government in the same state
of uncertainty that it was in before, and
from which 1t cannot depart, except in
such manner as shall have 1uIl con-
sideration for the respect due TO our
minister and from one government to
the other.
On receiving this note General Webb
replied in severe language; demanded
his passports and obtained them. AS
he was preparing to leave for home he
discharged farewell epistle at the Bra
lillian authorities, of which the follow
ing is a sample sentences: "1f in disre-
garding my rights and grossly insult
ing my government, the present reac-
tionary and pro-slavery government
OF Brazil has also violated the rights
which by courtesy belong to their col
leagues. They will doubtless collec-
lively or each for himself, do as have
done, do what is necessary IN tie
premises. Brazil has been admitted
into the family OF civilized nations, and
being within the pale she must be re-
quired to discharge the duties she has
Voluntarily assumed, and be taught TO
practice the international amenities OF
ths age.!.
This note appears to have brought
the Brazilians to their senses: The
Government at once yielded all that
Gen. Webb demanded, and diplomatic
relations were forthwith restored.

From an obituary In, the Tribune We
extract these paragraphs, the first H.
Illustrating Mr.. Raymond's skill as a
reporter:
Mr.. Raymond made a specially OF re-
porting, an art then In its infancy.
| Shorthand writing was new and rare
accomplishment, and he formed
short.long~hand OF his own invention,
| by which he was enabled to accomplish
what men then looked apon as "won-
ders." Mr.. Augustus Maverick, for a
long time a member of The Times staff,
uarrates an incident of his early repOr-
torial career. Soon after The Tribune
was started DR.. Dionysius Lsrdner,
then in the hight OF his celebrity as a
| scientific lecturer, commenced course
OF lectures in the old Broadway
Church, known as The "TAbernacle." !"
Mr.. Raymond reported these lectures
| for The Tribune, and in SO accurate a
manner that the Doctor subsequently
adopted them; and with slight revision
they were published in two large octave
vo volumes by Greeley q McElrath,
under the title of"Lectures, on Science
and Art"
Mr.. Raymond's activity here mani
tested itself in his zeal for exclusive
news, and in after life he often express
ed regret that railroads and tele2raphs
had SO reduced the opportunities OF
| gaining these victories. He often rela-
| led a "beat" he gained for the Tribune
| in his early days. He, with various
reporters OF rival journals, was sent to
Boston to report a speech OF Daniel
Webster. The other journals each sent
two shorthand reporters to work
against Raymond. He took his notes
In the method which he had invented,
and the company returned by the night
boat. But while the others were en-
Toying themselves Raymond was copy
| ing his notes in the back cabin, which
had been turned into a printing Office,
and when the boat reached the city the
whole speech, several columns long,
| WAS in type, ready to be transferred to
the pressed, and by six o'clock the
readers OF the Tribune had it before
their eyes. The other papers acknowl-
edged themselves beaten and never
used their shorthand reports.
And the following. showing his re-
sources as a writer:
A remarkable instance of Mr.. Ray
mond's working ability occurred on
Webster, u statesman for whom he had
the greatest admiration. The news of
Mr.. WIS death reached here on Satur
dav afternoon. Mr.. Raymond wrote an
admirable biography, which appeared
In Mondays paper, covering twenty
six columns OF The TImcS aud in all
dition he wrote three columns OF edt-
torial on the same subject. or this e1-
traordinary biography MIR. Raymond
wrote sixteen columns without stop
ping a moment for rest. AS feat of
editorial labor we doubt its ever having
been eqnaled.

THE PUBLIC FUNDS.
United States Bonds are, at the mo-
ment, steady, Notwithstanding the de-
preston in the general stock market.
Among the influences operating adj
versely upon the market have been the
activity OF money, which has held In
check the speculative demand usual in
June, in anticipation of the payment Of
the July interest; and the interruption
OF the foreign demand, consequent
upon the large supply recently sent to
Europe, and the disturbance of conf
dence In the foreign money markets
growing out of the result of the cleo
tions in France: For the last two days
the recovery of the tone of the London
and Paris markets has induced u par
tial revival OF purchases by the foreign
bankers, who appear confident that
Europe will continue to take liberal
amounts OF our bonds. The market has
been steadily sustained by the weekly
purchases OF 81, 900, 600 Ftve.twenties by
bonds have in this way been taken per-
manently off the market, absorbing
any supply that may have been drawn
out under the inducement Of compara-
| lively high prices and the adverse
| Influences above noted. The advanc-
eCl scale OF prices may be considered
now to have been fairly tested; and
| the fact that Europe has taken increas-
ed amounts at the higher figures and
that there has been no extensive
realizing by domestic holders, shows
| that the rise has been based upon
| valid grounds and may therefore be
expected to prove permanent. The
| fnture of the market must depend
yery much upon the course OF
money, the continuance of the Gov
erument purchases of bonds, and the
condition of the foreign demand. With
| a steady course of the money mar
| ket, il would seem almost lneYltable
that there should be considerable
speculative demand, In connection
With the payment of the July interest.
The total payable upon coupons and
registered stock is $3l $50, COO; and ex-
perience has shown that a large pro-
portion of these disbursements is usual
| iv reinvested in bonds. It is, in fact,
this habit of the bOndholders which,
perhaps more than any other cause,
has contributed to the steady advance
in bonds to figures which formerly
would have been deemed impossible.
The present supply of bonds upon the
market is quite moderate, and appears
to be about evenly distributed among
domestic dealers and foreign bankers
Under all the circumstances, therefore,
assuming a steady course of the other
markets, the probabilities appear 70
favor firmness in this class of secur1-
J ties.

were alarmed at the announcement
that the new Capt. General De ROdas,
would bring with him from two to four
thousand troops, and the consulting
