BRAZIL. The Contest of Parties—The Government and thd Oppesition—Improvemente—Street Ralle roud Enterprises—Bills Introduced ia the Chambers—Promulgation of tac Law Against Pabiic Auction of Slavee—Miscellancous Matters. Rio JANERO, Sept. 24, 1802 In Rio the opposition tn the Senate has got the Ministry to a compete dilemma, from which, at present, it is difficult to see @ satisfactory mode of escape, The estimates of the Miutstry of Fmance are now undergolug discussion in the Senate, and the legisiutive sessious have been twice extended— this tinze until the 30th of September, to enavle he estimates of 1868-70, which are also those of 1510-71, to be voled, Butin passing the ministerial budget through the Chauber of Doputies, 1. a number of appropriations and aitered v Visions, In addition to voting a progres: ecnventual real estate and slaves not of ‘the opposition Senators decline (o pass the alterations without discussing them, bur may they will vote the estimates, sich a8 the Ministry introduced them, Jeaving the Depu- ties’ additions and changes for debare next year, 80 as to allow the present sessions to close. A conlerence was had between the Minister of Marine and Covseiveiro Zacharias, the opposiion leader, to arrange a compromise, and one was agreed to by eliminating certain clauses from Ue estimates lor @iscussion next year; butthe other ministers refused to accept the compromise, the especial diicully being that the Miuisier of the Empire would not yleld tn regard to the laying over of the convent tax- ing clause reierred to avove. Ihe opposition deciare thatihey will pot let tlie obnoxtous clauses pass withouta thorough discussion, and will sit unttl Jan- uary nextiodo it, Ou te other land te Ministry fears that if it would yield fo the opposition demand and drop ont the clauses objected to they would ratse a storm in the Chamber of Depuues, which would noi ve pleasant, that Caamber having shown many signs of insubordination, wiich a call to eat 80 much dirt a3 (o vote to curtailed estimates might raise to arevolt, It is therefore believed in political quarters that a muusteriai crisis, bas oceurred Which will be resolved by the Minister of Marine, Daron de Cotegipe, te real ministerial leader in the Senate, being entrusted with the formation of & new con- servauive cabinet.

Heravp: The great mistake of the Treas.iry In violating the great law of supply and demana by @ temporary Postponement of a debt to Europe, and the conses qnent fraud upon oar farmers to ‘n> amount of #ev~ ral hundred millions, wag stared and explained in tho last lever, That ourdebt to Earope must still be very ‘arge 1s proved by the published report of tho exports and imports of the country for the past year, ending on the 30th day of last June. This report shows a balance against us for that period of more than ninety-seven millicns of doilars. Here is evidence that our foreign debt is Increasing, and yet gold and exchange bave devine} and are declining in our market, Why istmisgo? An inquiry at the oMves of foreign bankers will show that they ara constantly seuding and selling our bonded debt ta European purchasers, agalust which they are selling exchange, and thus they keep down the price of gold and exchange, notwithstanding we are export+ ing ninety-seven millions of tarm produce less tha, our hnports, Had they not sent these bonds abroad, then, there ould have besa a sharper demand for farm produce and gold, and gold would have advanced in price’with farm producs full ten. per cent. I wish to bring home clearly to tie minds Of our people that gold aud farm produce are both the product of American labor, and are equafiy ta demand for shipment to foreizn ports. The demand for these products conirols prices at our seaports, When the demand ts greater than the supply prices advance, and when the supply exceeds the demand prices fall. Tous gold and farm produce rise and all together, because both the shipments of farm produce and gold make excaange on Europe, Our currency ta not a suvject for export and is not in- fluenced by the price of gold or of farm produce, Our currency will not pay devts ta Europe, and, therefore, will not wake exchange, While our foreign debt remains large, and, as suown above, is on the increase, there will continue to ve a premlum.on gold; but when we pay our debt to Burope and be- come @ creditor instead of a debtor nation gold Wik flow back upon ue with the same force it is now Nowing {rom us, 2 Many ot our Jogislators believe thatthe price of gold indicates a decrease or advance in the vaine of our paper ourrenc’ Md they forget that when we adoptet the green or legal tender as a substi- Vate for gold as currency, from ‘iat moment we gave up gold to commerce aud exvort and placed 1 among the ofver articles produced in our country. From that moment the law coniroiling our foreign trade has governed the price of guid, a4 tl haa marked the value of every other exportuaia thing produced by the tadustry of our people. Leiore we can prescribe a full and effectual remedy for tie present condition of our monetary system {eis necessary to know where the decrease is located avd what its nature really is, We dwell, therefore, with much patience aud care upon this polug of yaue tn our gcenback orcurcency. Forif the people stall be satisied that the price of gola in our marke. ‘ndicates tie rate of exchange or foreiga demand aad does not act upon or iniluence the exciangeaole value of our coined paper, then we can appiy a reuiely that will be come plete and efiectual. ‘The people have become so accustomed to the ule contradicted asscrtion thay our coined paper is in bad credit—that aitaough 1 9a favor.te with all ouw people and is preierred to any vey money, and aiddugh every one, from a seclug of honorable pride dnd a knowledge of ong coudiion as a people und government, openly aud ireciy asserts and believes that there 19 no veter or saler credit on tie globe thin that represenied in. our prowises—yet they do not seek to learn how it 18 posstole for a sound, good and popular coined paper thats in general use te every partol the United States to be tuck. ating i value by the buyers and sei ers of oid at the Stock Exchange, According to this -ducirine our whole volume of severat hu adred m Hous of money, spread over all our States and Jerr to ies, 3 putdown and up daily by the seers of gold, For what 1s gold bought and sold?
