This forenoon we received a Brazil Mail, with Bahia Papers to the 21st of September. They contain some interesting particulars relative to the state of that province, and an engagement which had taken place between the Portuguese and Brazilian frigates. The following are extracts : BAHIA, AUGUST Se. • The Idade d'Orro contains a long•narrative of the rencontre which has taken place between the Royal and Constitutional squadron (of Bahia) and the Anti- Constitutional squadron of Rio de Janeiro: the for mer consisted of four corvettes and two brigantines ; the latter of a frigate, two corvettes, and four brigan tines. The affair ended with the flight of the squa dron from Rio. While the two squadrons were in sight of each other, four vessels came in sight, which stood in for the shore, and were recognised by the Bahia squadron to be a division from Lisbon, under the convoy of the Calypso. The Rio squadron was probably informed of the expected arrival of these vessels, and intended to pre vent their entrance into the port; but seeing that it could not prevent the expedition from entering without its being protected by our squadron, it gave up the attempt, and thought only of escaping, which it was easy to do by the superior swiftness of the vessels. The Commander of our squadron ordered the-Cap tain of the Conceicao corvette to approach the vessels of the expedition, and desire the Commander to join us. after seeing his convoy safe into the bay, while we pursired the Rio squadron, which fled with all speed. Thus we have had the glory on two successive days of seeing the squadron fly which has been so loudly boasted of by the partizans of despotism; their want of courage being such, that though they had so ad vantageous a position, they suffered the expedition to enter in their sight, thus seeing all their plans defeated with which they designed to ruin this fine Province. SEPTEMBER S.—The enemies who hover round us do what mischief they are able. They are within a league of the city, plundering and skirmishing as happened last week at St. Caetano. We have seen many letters from Rio, which affirm that the Newspapers of Bahia are published there, and that the friends of the Constitution in that afflicted city, oppressed by the most barefaced despotism, place all their hopes in Bahia. The late Decrees of the Prince Royal breathe more despotic spirit than all the Ukases of ancient Russia, or the haughty Ordonnances of the Emperor of Persia or the Sultan of Babylon. The authors of these Decrees and Manifestos treat with unheard of Contempt the Portuguese nation and the National Congress. They alone know what liberty is, they alone understand how to promote the happiness of Brazil. Sarvastasa 17,—A foreign vessel has arrived front Pernambuco : the Itio Roadranind airehored there Per asked for Ttliiisions and pa 'Or mon ths. The Provisional Junta, as we learn row fetters, or", &rest everything to be given them, eat* *h a t yrss+ wanted to repair the vessels, wbick there •were no means of supplying. The infamous General Labatal had arrived from the Alagoas, by land. Oa his ar rival he was hissed by the light battalion, forhaving been the cause that an engagement with our squadron was avoided. The Naval Officers. (except the Commanders) de %clared at Pernambuco that they had been deceived at Rio ; that they per intended to fight against Portuguese, and that they would go to Lisbon. The Roard of Finance has Wed that, in conse quence of the low state of the Treasury, the most rigorous economy it ibsolutety sicessary. . •••••••••• The Pretiet` Papers of Thursday and Friday have been received. They make no mention of the illness and death of Loess XVIII. which was so strongly rumoured here on Saturday ; indeed the fall of the French Funds, which was attributed to that cause, was owing to new rumours of war with Spain; nor can it excite surprise that the French, seeing the im mense preparations for war made by their Govern ment, should credit so readily nay . rumour of hos tilities which obtains circulation. It is difficult for them to believe that the Ultras, imbecile as they are would make these immense preparations without a previous understanding with the leading Powers of Europe, or that having once made them, they will expose themselves to the ridicule which would infalli bly attach to their remaining inactive. The prece dent of Naples too bears so exactly on the principle' of the present question, that they may be excused for doubting the possibility of the Holy Alliance refusing to France what it already granted to Austria. A Council of Ministers was held in Paris on Thurs day, and it was reported that the result was a deter mivatfon to ge to war, and that General BC:MIME BOULT was appointed Major-General, under the orders of the Duke of ArroonLesrs. The Journal des Debats contains the following im portant article, copied for the most part from a Paper understood to be official—the Etoile of the preceding evening PARIS, NOVEl>sEft 21„ The rumours spread abroad yesterday and this morning through Paris have been contradicted in the following manner: " Alarming rumours were yesterday evening spread abroad through Paris. This time the rumour did not relate to the death of the Bing of Naplcs—to the ab rupt departure of the Sovereigns—nor to the sudden dissolution of the Codgress. No courier had arrived from Italy, but a commercial courier had arrived from Madrid, and on a fact so simple and so com mon, extraordinary news have been founded, of which the following is a specimen : " It was asserted that at the departure of the courier on the 14th of November, Madrid was in a state of great agitation; that the French Ambassador had been so seriously insulted, that his .recal and war seemed inevitable. It was added, that the Ministers had met in an extraordinary Sitting on the receipt of this news, and that orders for war had been imme diately given. The names even of three distinguished Generals were given as about to set out immediately for the army. _ _ " These rumours, which arrived too late yesterday to influence the Public Funds on the Exchange, were carried immediately to the Cafe Tortoni, where it appears not ice alone is taken, and the Rentes, which on the usual place of transacting business had closed at 89 f. 20 c. fall one franc in this chapel of ease.— The fall continued throughout this day, and the very last quotation still felt the impressiOn.produced by this news. We have thought it our .dutysto investi gate the source .9 ,these. no less for the in. terests of truth thatt.for those of many of our readers. 4, We are able to affirm, that on the departure of the courier who arrive& yesterday from Madrid, that capital enjoyed perfect tranquillity : that neither M. Legarde, our Ambassador, nor any foreign AMbas sidor, hid been insulted. It will presently be seen how improbable it is that anything of that sort could have happened. It is false that the three Lieutenant- Generals alluded to, or any other, have received any commission for the army; nay more, the rumours of war which are propagated with so much eagerneis cannot be founded on any military movement. For a month past not a corps has been sent to augment the forces of France on the frontier. Now for the facts brought by this same courier, to whom rumour has given dispatches so alarming. We oppose these facts, of which we guarantee the authenticity, to the reports of yesterday :—A propo sition had been made to the Cortes to subject the houses of Ambassadors and foreign Ministers, like those of citizens, to domiciliary visits; but the As sembly unanimously adopted an Amendment on the Resolution, in which they clearly and positively ex cepted the hotels of Ambassadors and foreign Mi nisters from domiciliary visits. •, The second fact is more important. A Deputy' ' had made a motion to oblige France to explain her, self categorically, on the question whether she consi dered herself at peace or war with Spain. This pro- position, after being debated, was rejected during the same Sitting. 44 These two decisions are the mote remarkablei in . eunuch as very few Deputies were present; wbichina• agent the “ Equal the Army and pursued ceived letters contain nothing like such news. P.S. A rumour was yesterday circulated, thatteo &Urge' had been evacuated by the Royalists. This newshas not been confirmed: 4 -4mm: des Delia's. The Conailutionnel, commenting:: on the' subject which we have already taken from the Joirnal des Debuts, says, " that it is evident from the eagerness displayed by the Ministerial Journal (the Etoik) to contradict the report of war, to which it had the day before given credence, that its article must be consi dered as a solemn avowal that the, iumours of war are considered as calculated to inflict 'a severe Wound on public credit." The contradiction thus given by a Ministerial Jour nal on 'F r iday had the effect of recovering the Funds from the depression they had suffered on the two preceding days. But while the French Ministers are thus crying peace, peace, war is in their hearts, and preparations of the most decidedly hostile character are making to so great an extent and so menacing to Spain, that the Government of that country migkt justly call on France for a more distinct and catego rical declaration of her intentions than by equivocal articles in the Menu cur and Journal des Debars. The military movements still continue. At Bayonne nothing is seen but ammunition-waggons of every species. Guard-houses are to be constructed on the glacis ; 1,500 wheel-barrows, and as many shovels and pick-axes, are to be made. Private letters have been received from Verona to the 13th instant. The Sittings of Congress are not very frequent, but private meetings daily take place between the different Ministers, for the purpose of iemoving the first obstacles, and smoothiegthe way for subsequent arrangements. This seeming pulse in the proceedings of Congress has given rise to numerous conjectures; and, among others, it has been surmised that in conseqtience of some of the dis cussions time would be allowed to receive Deputies fcom the Spanish Regency, from the new Kingdom of Brazil, from the Grecian Senate, or from the Ex- Colonies of Spain ; but others state, that no Envoys from any of these authorities are expected, or will be received. ...

" An expedition of 18 vessels, with 2,500 men, started - from -La Guayra on the 15th inst. and were seen off Aruba on the 18th inst. bound to Maracaibo. No doubt is entertained but Morales's expedition will be wholly defeated, as the Spanish brig Hercules, the only strong vessel belonging to them is here; all the rest of the vessels will assuredly be taken. Amongst the Colombian vessels are four good brigs of 18, 20; and 29 guns, one ketch, three brigantines, three schooners, and one felucca, &c. Morales has made no progress since he landed at Cajon. Aicounts have reached us from Rio Hache by the schooner Mary : the Captain states that Morales was, as the.l6th, at Garabuya, on the Indian coast, 85 leagues from Marac a ibo,and the garrison of the fort had been reinforced by 800 infantry and 200 cavalry that came from Sapta Martha and Valle Dupar. The troops from Com Marched - on the 26th to Maracaibo, say 300 strong; they had arrived at their destination before Morales had landed at Cajora ; as from Coro to Al tagracio, in Maracaibo, is only four days' march. " Monies must now either give up or perish in the - struggle. The Spanish frigate Lagera has been lying off and on this harbour for six days, waiting to take provisions to Morales. According to the declaration direr commander, . Laborde, if he does not get pro visions to-day, he will sail for Havannah, and leave Morales to his fate." Saturday morning, about half-past eleven o'clock, his M4losys left his Palace, Pall-Mall, for Brig W hton.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. The brig George, Captain JOHN 111 4 Aseam, sailed from Qiteb with a cargo of timber,lor Greenock, on the 12th of Septen.l. lan, with a crew consistieg of nine persons, besides three p 'eaten. Early in the morning of the 6th of October, she w.. 1 overtaken by a violent storm, which continued without inter mission during the day; towards sunset the gale it:creased, 31.1 the vessel bemtne quite unmanageable. At two o'clock the te!- lowing morning a tremendous sea broke over her, and swri.t away three of her best hands, .with the companion, hieracle, a table, and boom, and greatly damaged the hull: all 11311di wee : then called to the pump, but only three were able to render any assistance. At six o'clock they found the vessel to he watz logged ; nothing .then remained but to endeavour to gain tile main-top, which with Immense difficulty they accomplislad, Cri• rying with them one bag of bread, about eight pounds of cheese, two citizen of wine, with a small quantity of brandy and rum.— Before they had time to secure themselves in their perilous situ. ation, the vessel fell on her beam-ends; but within hair au li-e.r the hatchet blew up and she again righted. Their scanty cores were now examined, when, to their utter dismay, all had beta washed away except the bag of bread. At this period a dit tressing scene occurred in the midst of their afflictions; one of the passengers had his wife on board, and a child fifteen months old, which he carried in his aims; the infant, however, he seas compelled to abandon to the merciless waves, in the view of its distracted mother.! The mainsail was now let down to screen them from the severity of the weather, which continued tem pestuous until Friday, the 11th, when they were able once more to go upon the deck. Their thirst had now become exceisive, and nothing but salt water to be procured. Having found the carpenter's axe, they cut a hole in the deck, near to where a water-cask had been stowed; but, alas! the cask bad been stove, and nothing was to be found either for support or cot:. venlence, but an empty pump-can, which they carried with them to the main-top. That night the female passenger became insensible, and next day, Saturday, the 1:1th, she dital. This poor woman, whose name was Jorce Has, came p r.ia !ter husband from between Belfast and Larne, its Ireland. 'lice unhappy survivors were now reduced by raging thirst, to • port nature by sucking the blood of their deceased compant,-, and, shocking to relate, the miserable husband was necessitartd to partake of the unnatural and horrid bevirage. Their su!'- ferings. however, met with little allay from this temporary but dreadful relief; they were now assailed by the most acute a:A ungovernable hunger; and to preserve existence were cumpdl...! to distribute the flesh of the deceased among the famishing set-. elvers! While in the very acme of their sufferings, a she) hove in view; but this joyful sight was uf7short duration, for it being nearly darki, they remained opoerceived - by the vessel, which contumedler own course, and WittiOon east of their teach. '1 dos fresh misfortune threw them into greater despair than rh: bad yet experienced. From.this time to the 2:ld, the followin; died: John Lamont, a boy; John 111 ay, carpenter ;George I' Dow t 11, passenger; Colin M'Kechnie, and the Steward, Gilbtrt,lP(el vray. Part of the Seth- of these wretched sufferers was 7,0 de veered like that of the woman. The whole number was IIJ'N reduced to the Captain and one of the seamen, who,•by the help of the main-sail, and the can already mentioned, coutrtved to supply themselves with water till the I4th November (hash.; been thirty-eight days on the wreck), when they were provider. dally discovered by Captain Hobson, of the Saltom, of Cull-It; but they were yet fated to suffer another shipwreck, thonih minor importance. On -Tuesday, the 19th inst. this vessel,wli:ht -tiding off Beckfoot, on the Cumberland coast, it blowing a ;,ale, broke her chain-cable, when she drifted too near to Mayboroneh, and was-considerably damaged, but all hands were saved, inclu ding the two unfortunate suffeters, who arrived at Annan ..n Wednesday evening last, and,what is very remarkable, apparently lin good health. .
