THE YOUNGEST REPUBLIC.
The imperial Provinces of Dom
Pedro's Reign Have Become Free
States.

PeOTO , Reign nave ooCOuHo TISO
States.
A new government has been formed for
Brazil Dom Pedro having been forced to
abdicate, and he has left the country I'M
molested.
The new government has announced that
1t will firmly maintain order. 1t is prepar-
ing circular to foreign governments, rela-
tive to the overthrow OF the empire, which
will be teegraphed to them through the
Brazilian representatives abroad. The
province OF Bahia, which was the only one
openly opposing, has 5ignified its adher-
ence to the republic. The news from other
provinces shows that they are also in favor
OF a republican form OF government.
THE EMPIRES OBLIGATIONS ASSUMED.
Dispatches reiterate the statement pre-
viously telegraphed, that the formation Of
n republic met with no opposition. The
latest intelligence received at Rio Janerio
indicated that Bahia and Pernambuco
were in state OF tranquility. The people
every where are so much absorbed in the
new order of things politically, that bust
ness is at a complete standstill. There is
said to be considerable mystery at Rio
Janerio in regard to the departure OF the
emperor and his family. 1t is asserted in
y
country.
A dispatch has been received at the Bra
lillian legation in London from Dr.
Barbara, minister OF finance OF the new
government, directing the Brazilian minis
ter to notify the London stock exchange
that all financial engagements entered into
by the imperial government will be faith
fully observed by the republic. This dis
patch, it is thought, will have reassuring
in oil financial
1t is apparent in Washington that the
Brazilian officials have become convinced
the empire has been overthrow. in the
course OF conversation prominent citizen
of Brazil said he was convinced the men
who led the revolution cou not re-
tain their leadership. They are I'M
known to fame and without followers
in their own country. There were two
courses open to the revolutionists. They
might perceive their own weakness and
call IL convention which would bring to-
gether men really representatives OF the
country, like Seraiva and Dantes, and this
convention would maturely consider the
problem of providing n satisfactory form
of government, and settle the question as
to whether Brazil is yet ready Tor repub-
lie, or whether the imperial family had bet
ter be recalled. Ii The present leaders re-
fused to adopt this course then they would
be Obliged to assume more and more arbi-
trarily the direction of affairs, and the re-
suit would be dictatorship.
WILL PENBIoN THE DEPosED EMPEROR.
A later dispatch says-Dom Pedro and
the imperial family have left for Lisbon in
the steamer Alagoaso which was escorted
on the Brazilian coast by the iIiachuelo.
Senior Patrocinio has been imprisoned
for conspiring against the republic. The
governors named for the provisional gov
ernment are all military men. The de-
nomination adopted by the govern
ment for the republic is the
United States of Brazil. The province of
Bahia has proclaimed for the republic.
Peace and quietness reigns- The republic
will allow the depoged emperor 800 centos
direis per annum during his life. Five ar
ticles OF the government decree are: First
the republic is proclaimed. Second-the
nroyinces of Brazil united by federation
COMPOSE the United States of Brazil.
Third-each state will form it's own
local government. Fourth-each state
will send representatives to a congress
which will convene shortly and the final
decision of which the provisional govern
ment will await. Fifth-in the meantime
the governors OF the states will adopt
means to maintain order and protect
citizens rights. The nations internal and
external relations will be represented
meanwhile by the provisional government.
