LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The news received
mere from Madrid, to the effect that Adj
mral de Mello has proclaimed Prince
Pedro emperor of Brazil, is much COM
mented upon, and confirmation or denial
OF the report is anxiOusly expected. The
news, however, is generally accepted as
being correct. 1t comes here from other
sources i'll addition 10 the dispatch from
Madrid.
The Exchange Telegraph company
says that after Admiral de Mello had
proclaimed Prince Pedro as emperor he
put to sea with several of his ships in
order to intercept President Peixoto's
new transports, which are conveying
supplies of men, ammunition and pro-
visions to the existing government at
Rio de Jareiro. 1t is not believed. how
ever, that the insurgent admiral is GER
tain Of intercepting the transports, as
the point of debarkation of the NUM-
tions of war is believed to have been
kept secret.
A dispatch from Lisbon, received here
this afternoon, says that the news of the
proclamation of Prince Pedro as en-
perOr of Brazil is not yet confirmed,
but, it is added, the report is generally
believed at Lisbon, IN view of Admiral
de Mello's known strong monarchist
tendencies.
A letter just received here by prom
inent London merchant says:
''If De Mello is beaten it will be
heavy blow to British prestige. Presi-
dent PeiXoto is mad with rage with for
eigners, and especially against the
British. De Mello is inclined precisely
the other way, and constant friendly
communications are going on between
the French. Italian and British war
ships and Admiral de Mello, while the
German and American commanders
hold aloof."
The Brazilian minister here says that
the Countess d'Eu would have been en-
press under the old law of succession,
as she had never abdicated, and that
Admiral de Mello'S proclamation is void
until she has done so. The Brazilian
minister, 1t adds, has received no news
whatever regarding the reported proc
lamatiOn of Prince Pedro as emperor of
Brazil, but, on the other hand, the min
lister referred to says that he has advices
to the effect that Admiral de Mello was
to sail north today on board the Aquid-
aban.
In conclusion, the Brazilian ministe
said that runorS of an attempt to restore
monarchy have long been current at
Rio de Janiero. and he reports that the
Brazilian capitol IS quiet, and that the
usual business is being transacted.
The Westminster Gazette expresses
the opinion that Prince Pedro is on
board Admiral de Mello'S flagship, and
says:
IF De Mello can form landing, and
JOIN the insurgents advancing from the
South and seize Rio. the republic will
tiZZle glOriously."
The Westminster Gazette also thinks
tide BrazilianS favor the re-establish-
ment of monarchy, saying that this
sentiment prevails especially among
the Germans of Southern provinces,
adding.
"What will the United States say as
the republican protector of the con-
| tinent? If Brazil sides with Prince
Pedro, what can Cleveland do after the
| mess made by his predecessors in
Chill? MI. Cleveland. however little
Americans may like a monarchy in the
new world, will be careful of the inter-
ests OF the United States in Brazil,
which are commercial and not sinti-
mental"
BUENos AYREs, Nov. 1s.-No news
of the alleged proclamation of Prince
Pedro as emgeror Of Brazil has been
| received here. 1t is stated on good
authority that the Argentine Republic
would oppose the restoration Of the
monarchy i'll Brazil.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The state
department has received no notice of
the reported proclamationy Admiral
Mello naming Count Louis Philippi as
| such proclamation from the United
! States minister at Rio Janerio, and as
| Mello has no access to the city his &C
| ton might not very promptly become
known to tile American minister.
