LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Advices from
Brazil indicate that the Rio Grandt
insurgents are marching against the
government forces, and that the province
b of Para has seeded. General Barrelto
Liete has been elected governor of Porte
Allegro by the Nationalists of Ric
Grande do Sui, of which province Porte
Allegro is the capital. There is said &c
be some difference of opinion in the
Congressional Organist party as to the
course to be pursued now that Ric
Grande do Sui has declared itself indie.
pendent. One faction, it is understood,
was in favor Of simply maintaining by
all possible means the independence Of
Rio Grande do Sui. Another party was
in favor Of coming to terms, without
bloOdshed, with the dictator, insisting
however, upon the independence Of the
province being admitted. A third party
was in favor of not waiting until Fon.
SEGA had made all his preparations for
opposition, but to march boldly upon
his forces, give them battle and allow
the questions at issue TO be decided by
the sword. From the fact that it is
cabled that the Congressional forces,
marching from Rio Grande do Sui, the
dictatOr's troops, supposed here to be
concentrated somewhere about Sac
Paulo, it is judged that the party Of
the sword" has prevailed, and that the
god of battles is to decide shortly be.

Now ID Is Anarchy.
Other dispatches received here state
that anarchy and discord prevails
throughout the province of Rio Grande
do Sui This is presumed to refer to
difference Of opinion as to the definite
war news, said TO prevail. VisConde
Pelotus is said to be at the head Of the
Junta party. He is reported here to
have opened negotiations with the die.
tator looking for mutual concessions.
The Visconde is said to have informed
Marshal Fonseca that such an arrange
ment will avert serious bloodshed and
that the whole future Of Brazil depends
on an understanding of a peaceable
nature being quickly arrived at. In
| other quarters than those of Visconde
| Pelotas the opinion is expressed that this
move upon the part of section of the
| Nationalist party is taken because the
latter see the people wish it.
Rebels Have Everything Their Own Way.
The custom house at San ia Ana has
been captured by the rebels, who are
collecting duties. Advices from the
town of Itaqui confirm the report that
| the revolutionists have occupied the
| town. The garrison, consisting of 300
men, refuses, however, to surrender, de
claring its faithfulness to Fonseca. Iti:

mander Of the Uruguay river squadron
at Itaqui declares that he is only acting
under orders from the government al
Rio Janeiro, that unless the insurgents
lay down their arms his ships will BON
bard the town. Great alarm in conse
quence prevails among the residents
who fear the loss of life and property.
Direct Proof of Trouble.
If any direct proof was wanting t.
show that the official statements tina
there is really no trouble in Brazil ar,
misleading, it is furnished in the fac
that British merchants here who are re
ceiving many orders for machinery ant
other apparatus for the development o
industries decline to execute thos
orders at present on the ground tina
they fear further fall in the rate o
exchange. 1t may be added that thes
refusals to fill orders are made in tn
face of the fact that Brazilians offer T.
deposit with the Bank of England al
ample amount of paper currency as
security.
