crush the plotters. because no reliance
could be placed IN the officers OF the army
or soldiers, and declared that Senior Ma
racaia. the Imperial Minister Of War, acted
the part of traitor to his colleagues.
Barbosa declares that the Niscount is q
calumniator. and that his manifesto rs de-
signed TO deceive Europe. Brazil detests
Preto, and the restoration of the monarchy
IS absolutely impossible. The diplomatists
and politicians around Pedro used him
rs a tool in the accomplishment Of the

could never have approved. CLAIMS that
certain European States may interfere IN
the concerns OF Brazil are merely ridicu-
lous. The policy of the Western Hemis-
phere on that subject was seen
in the history Of Mexico, and IN
the virtue Of that policy It is
simple fact that Brazil Is IN an often
siye and defensive alliance with All
America. The national prosperity is IN

has been appointed TO draft a constitution
aud electoral laws, aud the Provisional
Government will in few days decree re-
