People by the Comtesse

The Imperialists Gratified by
the Action Of Their Late
Ruler.

LISBON, Dec. S.-The steamer Atrito
has arrived with advices from Rio
Janeiro to Nov. %. The dispatches she
brings confirm the statement that the
revolution in Brazil was precipitated by
the attempt of the government TO re-
move disaffected troops stationed at Rio
Janeiro to the provinces. The revolt
was confined to the military and the
students. The pOpulace were passive.
The only act Of bloodshed was the at
tack upon Minister of Marine Ladario,
who was shot in three places. He is re-
covering from the effects Of his wounds.
In Bahia and PernambucO business pro-
ceeds as If nothing had happened. The
Bank of Brazil addressed letter to the
chief of police, advising him that
guard for the bank was no longer re-
quired. Gen. De Fonseca, the head of
the provisional government, in the
message sent by him to Dom Pedro
on Nov. 16 said: 1.-THE democratic
sentiments of the nation, COM
bined with resentment at the system
attic repressive measures of the govern
ment against the army and navy and
the sp0liation Of their rights, have
brought about the revolution. In the
face Of this situation, the presence of
the imperial family in the county is i'm
possible. Yielding, therefore, to the
exigencies of the national voice,
THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
is compelled to request you to leave
Brazil territory with your family within
twenty-four hours. The government
will provide at its own expense the
proper means for transport, and will
afford protection for the imperial fam
lily during their embarkation. The gov
ernment will also continue the imperial
dowry fixed by law until the constituted
assembly decides thereon. The country
expects that you will know how To imi-
tate the example set by the first en-
perer of Brazil on April Z. 1881" Dom
Pedro's answer. which was sent on the
same day. was as follows: 97s :
yielding to the imperiousness Of
circumstances, l have resolved to start
with my family to-mnrrow for Europe,
leaving this country 80 dear to US all,
and which / have endeavored to give
constant proofs of deep 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 the
most heartfelt affection and ardent good
wishes for her prosperity" The
Comtesse d'Eu issued the following
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 l have done
my best to contribute, and for which l
shall ever entertain the most ardent
good WILL"
A PAINFUL IMPRESSION.
The passage in the Comte DEUS
letter to the provisional govern
ment in which he offered to serve, no
matter what form of government, pro-
monarchists in Rio de Janiero. Others
defend his course on the ground that a
military man in active service could not
do otherwise. The order of expulsion
extends TO Admiral Prince Augustus
of Coburg, the commander of Brazilian
iron-clad, which is expected to reach
European waters shortly via the Suez
canal. The action of Dom Pedro in
sending a dispatch to his major dOmo,
refusing the subvension offered him by
the provisional government and accept
ing only that which the laws allow. has
gratihed the imperialists. On quitting
the AIagOas Dom Pedro thanked the
captain for his unremitting attention
and kindness throughout the voyage
and presented him with portraits and
autographs of himself and family. The
Alagoas pulled down the old Brazilian
flag on the emperor's departure. She
fies no colors now.
D'EU IS DIsCoNsoLATE.
COmte D'Eu was interviewed to-day
on the situation in Brazil. He said the
Republicans there were few in number.
but that they pr0fited by the Immediate
abolition of slavery. which measure es-
tranged the land owners and merchants,
who had hitherto been Conservatives.
The Republicans pretended that the
abolition of slavery was entirely due
to the throne, Meanwhile the army
and the only means of checking it was
tO revive the Garde Rationale, which
had always been Conservative body,
the crown nominating its officers.
The government. therefore, resolved
to create regiment III Rio
Janeiro, whereupon the Repub-
lieans spread report that the
authorities intended to revive the garde
rationale generally. and to check and
disarm the regular army. 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 govern
ment," "Vive la liberdate." In the
evening the students cried ''Vive la re-
publica." and the soldiers Joined in the
cry. Regarding the prospect of restor-
alton of the empire, COmte D'Eu said
that Brazil was TOO far from Europe, and
that man was wanted who could bring
the army around to the empire. If the
emperor had appeared on the streets
when the rebellion broke out the crowd
would have cheered him. Now it was
too late.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
An EngliShman,. the agent of an I'M
portant English bank at Rio Janeiro,
who was aboard the Atrato. said: "rhe
ministers were made prisoners. Before
the arrival of the emperor. the premier
handed in his resignation, but said
nothing to the emperor about it. We
know nothing Of the provisional
government. Business was suspended.
The greatest fears are entertained. not
Of the soldiers, but OF the blacks. Sun
