Brazilian neutrality.
--The Emperor of Brazil has caused another circular to the Governors of the Provinces to be issued by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, "with the view of giving wider circulation to the directions issued in August, 1861, in which are set forth the principles regulating the neutrality which the Imperial Government resolved to assume in view of the struggle in the United States." The conditions on which the ports and harbors of the empire are open to the belligerents are defined in this manifesto. The closing paragraph reads as follows:‘ "And inasmuch as the steamer Alabama, of the Confederate States, has openly violated the neutrality of our empire, infringing the dispositions of our circular of the 1st of August, 1861, making the Island of Rita the base of her operations for the purpose of carrying prizes there, and sailing thence to make others, which she has caused to be burned after keeping them some days in the anchorage of the said island, his Majesty the Emperor has ordained that the said steamer shall never again be received into any port of the empire."
