WASHINGTON, May 2.-Minister Wash
burne telegraphs Secretary Fish that the
insurgents still hold a small portion of
Paris, and that the archbishOps fate is un-
certain.
The Senate discharged its prisoners, and
without further action adjourned sine die.
The Young Mems Christian Convention
adjourned.
Weather Report-Synopsis for the past
twenty-fOur hOurs.-The barometer has
risen rapidly on the California coast, and
continues TO fall at the Rocky Mountain
stations. There has been very gradual
diminutiOn of pressure from Lake Erie to
Virginia, and thence to the Mississippi and
gulf, with increasing temperature and
cloudy weather. Light showers have been
reported from a number of points in this
region. Partially cloudy and clear weather.
with a decided fall in the temperature, has
been experienced from Lake Michigan to
Maine aud Connecticut The winds at
present are fresh south and east on the gulf
and Atlantic coasts, and in the Mississippi
valley.
1t is probable that threatening and cloudy
weather will very generally prevail from
the lakes to the Atlantic and gulf, with Oc-
casional rains A more extended rain ap-
pears to be developing west of the lMissis-
sippl.
The Senate adjourned without ratifying
the treaty for an extension of the Mexican

NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY, MAY %, l87

to become habituated to the customs and
practices of the efete Portuguese, who here
have been engrafted upon a stupid, stOlid
Indian stock. Of all the emigrants who
have come to Brazil from the Southern
States, / know of but one who has been
benefited, and he, a reverend gentleman
from Tennessee, secured his wealth by OBJ
tanning grants of land at nominal prices
from the Brazilian government, and jObbed
the tracts out to his credulOus fellOw-cuun-
trymen at extOrtiOnate figures. In the le-
gitrmate exercise of his vocation as a
planter continued the gentleman, "you
may rest assured not one of us has met
with success"
The above are only few of the instances
of the result of an attempt to plant North
American colony upon the soil of Brazil.
They are by no means overdrawn pictures,
and are in truth sad episodes in the history
of a misguided people. Reports come to
this country by every steamer of the desti-
tuition among the Southern emigrants in all
parts of Brazil. The statements are in the
main correct, and there are no doubt thou
sands who would gladly return home, had
they the means to do so. Yet, there is one
little incident which has been circulated
generally by the press throughout the Uni
ted States, which the Brazilian consul gen.
eral at this port, the Chevalier D'Aguiar,
desires to have emphatically coutradicted
through the columns of the Times. 1t is in
reference to the seizure of the persons
of two daughters of prominent citi-
zen of memphis, Tennessee, and the
subsequent enslavement of the fair
SOutherners, to satisfy the cruel claims of
a hard hearted Brazilian to whom the father
had become pecuniarily indebted for a large
amount. The cOnsul-general of Brazil yes
terday informed the writer that even had
the debtor become naturalized citizen of
the empire, as was asserted as the reason
for the detention of his daughters, such an
act was absolutely impossible according to
Brazilian law. Indeed, the institution of
slavery, by solemn edict of the emperor,
was being subverted by system of gradual
and even were such not the
fact, the children are never made amenable
by the Brazilian statutes for the liabilities
of the parent.
Chevalier D'Agriiar, in conclusion, said:
'That story has done my country great in
justice. Brazil is not an abode of pagans,
and its large cities are populated by an in
telligent people, who are. always ready to
follow the instincts of Christian law and
justice. | therefore reiterate, sir, that the
whole story, from beginning to end, is with
out the slightest foundation in fact"
