SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information as to the civil war in Brazil; and whether the report is accurate that the forces of Marshal Peixoto have been defeated in Rio Grande do Sul with heavy loss?

said: I understand this question was put down last night. I am not in a position to answer it at present.
