that the receipt Of the leys gave him
great pleasure, as there has been no
bloodshed tranquility will now prevail
q d the change will es' ab,ish harmony
nong the Brazilian people. He said
that Fonseca was not the man who
would cause bloodshed, and would
willingly sacrifice the honor and glory
OF his high position rather than cause
civil war; and as the uprising in Brazil
was national moven o 1T, the people NOT
being III accord with the policy of Fon-
SEGA, he bowed to the iLev table and re-
tired. He also thought tn It it was the
desire of the people of Brazil to support
the deposed congress, and that President
Piexotto would be In thorough accord
withit
The London stories, he said, falsifed
the condition of affairs in Brazil, and at
no time did he place credence in them,
as they contained many untruths. Min

wee from Brazil in regard to the pres

take place in it.
Peaceable in Rio.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-A Rio Janeiro
dispatch says the city is peaceable, al
though considerable popular excitement
is still manifested The naval move
ment against Fonseca was determined
upon at n meeting, held on Saturday
last, of high naval officers. The general
feeling expressed was that sanguinary
war was about to open, without any ap-
parent cause, except Fonseca's unjust
assumption OF supreme authority, and
his removal was absolutely necessary.
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 ac-
knowledged to Admiral Vidal that he
felt deeply relieved by the change and
pleased that tho navy had given him an
honorable pretext for Withdrawing from
the presidency.
