RIO DE JANEmo. Nov. ls.-The United
States Of Brazil. constituting federated
republic of the different provinces of the
empire over which Dom Pedro ruled so
long, is an established government.
The new republic is acknowledged by
every province except Bahia in
the north. Dom Pedro is on his
way to Portugal, having accepted the
situation with no attempt at forcible
resistance; the flag of the republic has
been adopted and Brazil is as peaceful
to-day as though no thought of revolu-
ton mad ever aroused the feelings of the
people. The overthrow of the empire
has been accomplished without the loss
OF single life, and the new provisional
Government is proceeding with its work
a; methodically and peacefully as
though il had been in existence for
twenty years instead OF hours.
Dom Pedro submitted to the terms inn
posed on him by the new Government,
and agreed TO leave the country within
twenty-four hours after he received the
notice at his summer palace at PetropO-
lis. He was offered S2,500000 in cash
and provision for the rest of his life in
the form of an annual pension of 945O,-
600 which is TO be provided fo- in the
civil list of the new republic. lie
promptly accepted the offer and came to
Rio de Janeiro with his family Satur-
day night to embark for Lisbon.
The imperial family at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning boarded the brazilian
gunboat Parnahyba, which was still fly
ing the imperial flag in the harbor. The
Parnahyba transferred the imperial par
" to the Alleges, which steamed out of
the harbor Sunday forenoon con-
vcyod by the cruiser Riachuelo and
the gunboat Parnahyba bound for Lis
bon. Dom Pedro and his family go into
perpetual exile, their absence from the
country being regarded by the leaders
of the republic as essential to the peace
and welfare of the new Government.
The new flag Of the United States OF
Brazil, which takes the place of the i'm
perial emblem with its crown and coffee
leaf, is composed of green and gold
stripes with blue field, on which are
einblazoned nineteen stars. To-day il
is hoisted every where and IL recognized
in every province with the exception of
Bahia, from which reports come of OPP
position to the new order of things.
Not life has been lost by the revolu-
tion which has overturned the empire,
and the only violence attempted was the
shooting of the imperial Minister Of
Marine, but is wound is not fatal and
he is now recovering. Business in Rio
was suspended only.
In twenty-four hours an empire was
destroyed and a republic born almost
before the general public was aware
that any thing unusual was going on.

nOunced that all obligations incurred
by the empire at home or abroad will
be faithfully fulfilled by the republic.
