Western country has limited the free

STANLEY and DE Rrazza.
LETTERS FROM THE LATTER's BROTHERiOF A
PEACEFUL TENOR.

LETTERS FROM THE LATTER'S BROTHER,OF A
Peaceful TENOR.
A special cable dispatch from Rome says :
Count LudOvico de Brazza, brother OF the
traveller, tonight gave a short summary
OF two interesting letters received from
the Congo expedition. One, thirty pages
long. is written by Jacopo de Brazza, who
accompanied MS brother, the head OF the
expedition. The other Is from VI. Peclle,
a naturalist. The letters are each dated
August 18th, and contain the latest au-
thentic direct news.
AT the time they were dispatched De
Brazza was with his brother, DIR. Ballay,
NJ. Pecile, and a small escort, between
Franceyille and Brazzayile, in satisfactory
health. He expected to be with Makoka
within three days.
STANLEY NOT ENCOUNTERED.
He had not vet seen Mr.. Stanley, though
members OF the rival expedition had met
the rest Of the French party, which was
behind at various points Of the river Ogo-
mai. Makoka was still king, and not less
friendly TO VI. de BrazZa than he bad been
10 Mr.. Stanley. VI. de Brazza confidently
boped the King would ratify the treaty
signed with the French explorer.
There in nothing in the letters to lead
one to suppose that a conflict with Mr..
Stanley or the natives was likely. The
party had suffered much from fever, but
had lost only one mana sailor. The
Count said his brother exhibited no inten-
ton OF going beyond BrazzayiIle, but he
believed he would alter his mind and push
on into the interior. Later letters received
IN France profess TO carry the story 10 DC
tober 18th, but the information must be
received with caution, as the letters were
written at Landana.
