The Emperor Of Brazil has abandoned all idea
OF voyaging abroad during the present year at
least, owing to the ascertained pregnancy Of the
Princess Imperial, Countess d'Eu, whose first
child was stillborn, last year, in consequence. it
is said, of the voyage from Europe back to Rio
Janero which the clamOrs Of the opposition and
the fears that birth abroad would be hereafter
alleged as bar to succession to the throne Of the
empire forced the Government to require from
the Princess despite the advice or the Partisan
doctors. This time the young Princess will not
be allowed to come even TO Rio Janeiro, but will
remain at Petropolis, to avoid the perils Of car
ris he drive and Of the water travel.
