ship having been removed. The resignation
OF Marshal Da Fonseca was a great relief,
and has furnished a solution Of the COM
plications which were gathering around
the new Republic. Acting President
PeiXotto and the provisional cabinet, by
wich he is surrounded will now proceed
TO restore the operation Of the constitu-
ton and the laws. The general election
will be hurried on, congress assembled
at the earlist possible moment, and unity
and harmony between the provinces re
established.
The city is now quiet and peaceable, al
though considerable popular excitement
is still manifested. The naval movement
against Fonseca was determined upon at a
meeting held on Saturday last of high na-
val officers. The general feeling expressed
was that a sanguinary war was about to
open, without any apparent cause except
Fonsecas unjust assumption OF supreme
authority, and that his removal was abso-
lutely necessary. There was
No Personal Animosity
to Fonsoca, and no doubt that he would
resign rather than provoke an insurrec-
ton on the part OF the navy. Fonseca, IL
IS said, had not anticipated serious oppo-
sition to his course, and although he had
refused the demand of Rio Grande do Sui
that he should resign, he had not given up
hope of peaceful adjustment.
He is said to he of disposition far from
sanguinary, and there is no doubt that the
bloodless feature OF the Dom Pedro revo-
luton was largely due to his influence.
His assumption of dictatorship, however,
was regarded as intolerable, whatever his
intentions. The naval officers who visited
Fonseca with the ultimatum Of the fleet
were surprised at his readiness TO comply
with their wishes. He is said to have
acknowledged to Admiral Vidal that he
felt deeply relieved by the change, and
pleased that the navy had given him an
honorable pretext for withdrawing from
the presidency, which he had been
secretely anxious to surrender. Whether
this is true or not il is remembered that at
the time of Dom Pedro's expulsion, Fon-
SEGA was about to give up his leadership in
the movement and was pursuaded, or al
most compelled to persist by his associ-
ates, who felt that any signs Of yielding
might be fatal.
Commercial advices from Rio Janeiro
are all favorable to the
Success of the New Regime.
Peixotto has received congratulatory dis
graph, and is already in negotiation with
Rio Grande do Sui for settlement of the
existing difficulties. The representatives
from that province who were i'm
prisoned by Fonseca have been released
and other members of the late congress
who feared the hostility of the dictator
have come out of hiding. Congress will
reassemble as soon as the members will
arrive here from the various states. No
steps of hostile character have been taken
against Fonseca personally and the ofi-
GERS who exacted his resignation gave him
their personal assurance that he would
be protected.
All are Happy.
A dispatch from Montevideo says that
the news of Fonseca's resignation has
been received at Port Allegro and Rio
Grande du Sol with the widest rejoicing.
Bulletins signed by members of the pro
visional junta were issued, announcing
the news. At Port Allegro the people went
about embracing each other and shouting
for the Republic The feeling is strongly
against secession, and no doubt Is enter
tanned that the junta will come to peace
full understanding that will restore Rio
Grande to its place among Brazilian states.
At Rio Grande do Sui hostile preparations
were abandoned, and everybody appeared
to recognize the end Of the war.
Peace at Rio Grande do Sui.
BUENos AYREs, Nov. 1.-The news Of
the abdication of Marshal ia Fonseca was
received in Rio Grande do Sui with gen.
eral satisfaction and has put an end to the
Evolutionary movement in that state.
The obstructions placed in the Rio Grande
have been removed and the river has been re-
opened to commerce. The insurgent
troops are disbanding
The New Cabinet.
Except Para, which remains silent, all
the provinces concur in the dismissal of

ably ignore the recent events. The new
cabinet has been formed as follows: Sen

justice; Senior Oliveiera, war; Senior
Mello, marine; Senior Pallits, foreign AZ
fairs.
