The Brazilian Revolution.
(Received November 20, 12.50 p.m.)
Rio ue Janiero, Nov. 19. General Fonseca corrupted the garrison and seized the capital on Thursday night. He proceeded ro Pehropolis in the morning and informed the Emperor in the presence of his family that he was deposed. Dom Pedro received the intelligence with composure, and within an hour ho and his family were placed on board the mail steamer, which took its departure for Lisbon. A Brazilian war vessel escorted tho mail steamer to sea. Brazilian stocks have already declined seven per cent in the London market. The Government presented Dom Pedro on his leaving with a sum of L 580,000, and agreed to allow him a pension of LBO.OOO per annum. The usual allowance to the Emperor's family is to be contiuued. Censors prevent the press publishing the truth as to tho revolt, but there is an impression abroad that it was owing to tho favor shown by the Emperor to priests.
