Democratic sentiments of the nation.
combined with the sentiment at the sys-
temhtlc repressive measures of the govern
ment against the army and navy and spoil
| alton of their rights, have brought about
the revolution In the face Of this situation,
the presence OF the imperial family in the

| Will afford protection for the imperial
family during their embarkation. The

sent on the same day, was, as follows:
yielding TO toimperiousness of circumstances
have resolved to start with my family to-
morrow for Europe leaving this country,
so dear to us all, and which have endeav-
| ored to give constant proofs of deem love
during the nearly half century in which |
have discharged the Office OF chief OF state.
While thus leaving with my whole family,
| shall ever retain for Brazil most heartfelt
affection, and ardent good wishes for her
prosperity"

declaration: with a broken heart, part
from my friends, from the whole people of
Brazil, and from my country, which have
so loved and still do love-, toward whose
happiness | have done my best to con-
trihuta and for hiCh I aholi ava,. a..
the most ardent good wishes.n
The passage in Comts deus letter to the
| provisional government in which he offered
| to serve no matter what form of govern
| ment produced a painful impression among
the monarchists in Rio Janeiro. Others
defend his course on the ground that a
| military man in active service could not do
otherwise.
The order of expulsion extends to Ad-
miral Prince Augustus of Coburg. COM
mander of the Brazilian ironclad, which is
expected to reach European waters shortly,
via the Suez canal.
The action Of Emperor Dom Pedro in
sending dispatch to his major domo, re-
fusing the subvention offered him by the
provisional government, and accepting only
that which the law allows, has gratified the
imperialists.
On quitting the Alagoas, Emperor Dom
PEDRO thanked the captain for his unre-
mitting attention and kindness throughout
the voyage, and presented him with por-
traits and autographs Of himself and family.
The Alagoas hauled down the old Brazilian
flag on the ernperor's departure. She flies
no colors now.
DEUS EXPLANATION.
Comte d'Eu was interviewed to-day on
the situation ia Brazil. He said that the
Iino thara fax in, l,,t
that they prohted by the immediate aboli-
ton of slavery, which measure estranged
the land owners and merchants, who had
hitherto been conservatives. The re-
publicans pretended that the aboli-
ton Of slavery was entirely due
to the throne. Meanwhile tho army
had become tyrannical and insolent, and
the only means Of checking it was to revive
the Garde Rationale, which had always
been conservative body, the crown nomi-
mating its officers. The government, there
fore, resolved to re-create the regiment in
Rio Janeiro, whereupon the republicans
spread the report that the authorities
intended to revive the Garde Rationale gem
orally and 10 check and disarm the regular
army.
REVOLT OF THE MILITARY.
The military thereupon decided to revolt,
under the leadership of Gen, da Fonseca,
who Is a weak man and easily managed. At
the beginning Of the uprising the troops
only cried, "Down with the government;n
"Viva la liberdad' In the evening the
students cried, "Viva la republicaw and
the soldiers joined in the cry. Regarding
the prospect Of the restoration Of the en-
pire Comte d'Eu said that Brazil was too
far from Europe, and that man was
wanted who could bring the army around
to an empire. If the emperor had appeared
on the street when the rebellion broke out
the crowd would have cheered him. Now
1t was too late.
DOM PEDRo's PLANS.
Emperor Dom Pedro will not 60 to Paris
yet. as it is too cold. He has not settled
upon a permanent residence. He will
probably stay three weeks in Lisbon, then
visit the Duke Of Montpenzier, and then 20
to Cannes. Emperor Dom Pedro says he
was not asked to abdicate, and had
no intention of so doing. He was
still sovereign, though under violence. He
regarded himself as a prisoner OF war on
board the Alagoas. He had pleasant voy-
age, and found consolation in the presence
of his grandchildren. Two lieutenants of
the Brazilian navy were, by order OF the
provisional government, on board the
Alagoas. The crowns on their caps had
been replaced by stars.
ALL MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED.

the streets all could certainly have been
saved. The empress, after vainly protest
