Montevideo is rapidly drifting into
its former condition of chronic insur-
rection and insecurity. Armed forces
are in insurrection in the north and
virtually possess the departments
north of the Rio Negro, and some
parties have invaded Florida. The
government is almost poWerless, but
General Castro has been appointed
COMMANDMENTS Chief. He is In camp
trying to collect men, and the Ma
tiOnal Guard is to be called out. What
will be the result it is difficult to sur
mise, but it is most probable that the
foreign powers will take measures to
prevent the city of Montevideo be-
coming the scene of armed conflict.
The Legislature sitting at Montevideo
has not come to a decision about the
question of how to pay off the bank
bills which the government under
took to redeem, and it has conse-
quently postponed the time for re-
deeming them for thirty days longer,
say to the 10th of April.
The news of Lopez's death arrived
here upon the 18th of March, st. Pat
rick's Day, and some maintain that
the soldier who killed Lopez is an
Irishman named Thomas o. Flanagan,
who enlisted inithe Brazilian cavalry,
and who, on account of his reckless
bravery, got the name among them
of Chico Diabo, that is to say, Devil
Frank. OF course the Brazilians don't
admit such asuppositiOn, and the Rio

lating each other and shaking hands
all over the town in ecstasy at the
killing of Lopez being effected by a
provincialist of theirs and the closing
of the wal effected by a Rio Grande
general and Rio Grande troops. This
brigadier general (Camara) has been
made Viscount of PelOtas, and has
been promoted to the rank of field
marshal, besides having a street in
Rio rechristened after him. As for
Chico Diabo, 1 hear a subscription has
been made, which will start him as a
flrst-class cavalier down South, with
gold in his pocket and ten pounds of
silver in his bride, saddle and spurs.
The rejoicings in the city have been
great. The EmperOr's face is radiant;
he talks no more of a%bdication, and
after a grand 4e peunl to-day he is
going up to rfgTrohimself in his sum-
mer palace at PetrOpOlis, from which
he had exiled himself during the
whole of the war. The Princess I'M
perial is also in a high state of beati-
tude; she is warmly attached to the
Comte d'Eu, and exceedingly proud
of him, so that his early expected re-
turn has greatly excited her. A
steamer has been chartered to send
for him, and he is looked for about
the Goth of April. The Princess re-
ceived two female demonstrations
one when she was walking up the
steep road to the Gloria church to at
tend mass, when a lot of ladies and
children waylaid her and raised UiUda
to her, the COmte and the Ct eeterGS.
The other demonstration was on the
22d, when a deputatiOl of ladies
waited on her at the city palace. A
young lady who had just graduated
delivered a little speech, and then
pipcd the fugle note of seven rirds
on various appropriate subjects, in
which all the ladies joined. Having
thus done their DUTY to the Princess
and Brazil, they favored the pupulace
of Rio with a procession through vari-
Gus streets, a widow with four sons in
the army, besides three who died in
1t carrying a flag. These female de-
monstratiOns would of course be moth
ing in most other countries, but in
Brazil such a step outside their usual
ultra-virgiDal prudery is a genuine
phenomenon, and is enough to make
one think the world is really coming
to an end
