From King Carlos.

LISBON, December 7th.-The steamer AL
agoas, with ex-Emperor Dom Pedro of Bra
I'll and his party on board. and flying the
| old Brazilian flag, arrived in the Tagus this
morning.
She anchored off BeIem, suburb of Lis
| bon and opposite the lazaretto. but was not
compelled to undergo quarantine. The
party came ashore Immediately. Dom
| Pedro and his party then landed a. the
naval arsenal. Before they left the steamer
| she was boarded by King Carlos, who ex-
tended warm welcome to the ex- Emperor.
Dom Pedro is in excellent health, and
appears lot 10 have suffered by the recent
events in Brazil. 1t is said that he intends
to issue manifesto to the Brazilian people.
1t is learned from interviews with men,
bers of the Dom Pedro party that he and
his family were at his summer residence at
Petropolis, near Rio Janeiro, when the
revolution occurred. Upon learning what
happened he at once returned to Rio ia
metro and held q meeting with his minis
tiers. He tried to form a new ministry
with Ssrewa at its head, but to this Da
Fonseca objected, saying that the republic
had been declared and was supported by
the military also that the presence of the
imperial family in Brazil was incompatible
with the existing state of affairs, and that
they N ust coon leave the country.
The Emperor, after consulting his friends,
decided to agree to the demands of the Re-
publicans. No communications were al
lowed to pass between Dom Pedro and the
foreign representatives.
At2 o'clock on the following morning
Major Tompotice with detachment of SOL
diers went to the Palace and placed the
members of the Imperial family under ar
rest while they were still in bed. He bore
n -
the effect that the Emperor and bis family
should embark forthwith, and that the
Government would not allow them to wait
until daylight, as they feared that any
demonstration in the streets in favor of
Dom Pedro might result in bloodshed.
The measure was considered doubly nee
essary by the Republican leaders, as the
students in the city were well supplied with
arms and were greatly excited. Count
D'Eu and his wife, Princess Isabel, the
Emperor's daughter, and their children
were compelled to leave the Palace at 3
O'Clock Sunday morning and walk to the
quay.
Dom Pedro and the Empress followed

Ilha Grande, almost sixty-cight miles from
Rio de Janeiro, where the party were kept
as prisoners until the afternoon, when they
were transferred to the Alagoas. The lat
ter vessel at once sailed for Lisbon.
Dom Pedro declines to discuss the re-
cent events in Brazil. Count D'Eu intends
to go to Spain on visit to Duke De Mont
pensier.
Dom Pedro will probably remain in
Lisbon few days and then proceed to
Paris.
