OF THE BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION.
The ENGLISH steamer HOrrOx, coming from Brazil,
which was reported at Sandy Hook Saturday after

inc with a reporter of The Tribune, and, in fact,
the inhabitants of Brazil in general, seem to have
accented the new Republic. Their conversation
,vould lead the casual observer to think that they
had lost all feeling Of interest sympathy for the

expressioas of opinion are earnest ones or whether
they are the result OF fear and Tyranny

stepped into the tram in the principal street of
Rio the other day, prior to my departure, and
refused to pay his fare, on the ground that he was
living in a Republic now where the Government
cared for it's people
