111,OLUTION AT 1141114. Letters were yesterday received from Bahia, con taining an account of a revolution accomplished, there in favour of the present Government of Portu gal. The following are some of the details which bate COM to hand: — Extract of a letter front Bahia, dated February 19th. 1821: " We avail ourselves or a vessel sailing to Ham bro' to baud you the important intelligence of a poli- tical change here. On the morning of the 10th, the constitution was proclaimed by part of the military, and after a slight resistance was unanimously agreed to. " Tranquillity is now completely restored, and will, no doubt, continue. For particulars we beg to refer you to the enclosed Proclamation below, which will specify the Members of the Provisional Govern ment, men of integrity, and high in public estimation. " The Conde de Palma was elected President, but refused the a pp o intment." PROCLAMATION. The Commanders and Officers of the Troops of the Line of the Garrison and City of Bahia, met to gether in the Palace-square, in presence of the Go veruor and Captain-General Count de Palma, being all equally desirous to avoid the effusion of blood, which unfortunately might result from motives, ori ginating in the fear of the people that the wishes they have manifested of adhering to the opinions of their brothers in Portugal, might be frustrated, with whom they wish to be perpetually united ; and to participate with them in the benefits of the liberal Con►titution, which is at present establishing in Lis bon, resolve as. follows:- Ist. To swear obedience to the high and powerful King Don JOhn the sixth, and adhesion to his Royal •Iynaaty ; and to preserve the Holy Religion they pro fess. " 2d. To swear to the Constitution that may be esta blished by the Crates in Portugal, and intermediately to that of Spain, in the same manner as has been adopted intermediately in Portugal. " 3d. That the Chamber propose for the approval of the troard and people, the persons who are to form the Protlsioual Junta, that is, to govern this province until such time as his Majesty shall have solemnly sworn to 11:e Constitution. " ttli. That the Provisional Government, immediately its it.stallation, form an act for itself, and in the bilillC of this province, of adhesion to the Govern ss.ent of Portugal, and to the new order of things there established, which shall be transmitted to the said Go s-ernu►tut, and to the King our fiord.

As in Portugal, it was brought about entirely by the troops ; some feeble efforts were made ay the Commander in chief. to stop its progress, in which his own servant, two of his officers, a soldier, and a Negro lost their lives—the only blood shed on this important occasion. A Jnnta is formed to govern the Province till the King shall have accepted the Constitution, which is to be that of Portugal, and till its completion the Constitu tion of Spain is to be acted upon. The troops of the line and militia, in all about 12,000 men, have sworn to the new Constitution, and prepara tions are making to resist any force which may be sent against this place. it is probable, however, that no hostile steps will be taken by the Government at Rio ; the folly of such a proceeding mast be too obvious. Pernambuco Is expected to rise the moment the news of the events which have taken place here shall reach them. A Dctch vessel, which I have been this moment in- formed is on the point of getting under weigh, enables me to give you the above hasty particulars. A direct op portunity will soon be afforded me, when you will re ceive more detailed information. _ Business is entirely at a stand fot the present, but tranquillity and confideace will soon be restored. In addition to the above, the subsequent account has been gives from an authority on which we are assured we may depend The Govt. nor was aware of the conspiracy to its full extent, and wentioss that he had not the power to LONDON: SA TURTIA T EVENING, APRIL 28, 1821. - The Courier F►ancais, of Wednesday, came to hand last night by express, and has hropglit the following ititeresting articles relative to the Greek Insurrection : Extract of a communication from Kolokythia, in the Morea, the country of the Mainotes A great number of the most distinguished Greek fa milies of the Peloponnessus have arrived in our neigh bourhood to rut themselves under the protection of the free and armed Mainotes. A part of this brave nation, who descend from the ancient Spartans, has taken arms, and set out to join the Suliuts beyond the Isthmus of Corinth. FROM PATR WM, MARCH 17.—The Caimachan, a lieutenant of the Pacha of the Peloponnessus, sent yes terday for the beads of the Greek clergy, and the princi pal Greek inhabitants, to summon them to have all the Greek inhabitants of this town disarmed. The sight of a certain number of armed Greek vessels rave him the more uneasiness, as a report was generally 'initiated in Patrasso and the etiviruns, that these vessels had just destroyed the part of the Turkish fleet laden with an►• lonia:ion fur the troops employed against Ali Pectin. The Greek inhabitants of Patrasso, firmly believing ip the advantage said to have been gained by their coon tryn►en over the Tutkish fleet, positively refused to de liver up their arms, notwithstandiug the application , made to them for that purpose by the Greek Bishop, in the name of the Caimarban ; they answered only " Let them come and take the•om." At the moment the letter was coming off, the foreign Consuls were fortifying themselves in their houses, in the fear of a serious en gagement between the Turks and the Greeks.

The Ministers, the . the Prince Ferman Nunes, shah, and a great many number of Generals had the honour to pay their respects to the King. The Duke de Cares was is the number of Peers present. M. Chateauhriand is expected to return to Paris on the 30th instant. Marshal Reurnonville died yesterday at three o'clock. Two Piedmontese of distinction were arrested on the 10th instant at Lyons. It is said that they played a con spicuous part in the commotious of Turin and Ales sandria. Mr. Cannieg returns to Paris. He is expected in this capital to-day. Sir Thomas Maitland, the British Governor of the lonian Islands, arrived in Paris on Sunday, with seve ral of the officers of his staff. ifis Excellency alighted at the Hotel Nelson, Rue Neuve St. Augustin. Accounts from Modena of the ith of April say, that I the students of that city have attempted a trifling insur rection, after the manner of the Carbonari, but that the attempt was soon put down. Three of the insurgents have been arrested, and the others have returned to their duty.—(Gazette de France.) Several witnesses have already been summoned to ap pear before the Court of Peers on the seventh of next month, the day on which the debates will open, respect ing the conspiracy of the lath of August. The following intelligence has reached us (Condit"- (ionise') from Greece, tin Germany : " In several of the isles of the Archipelago the Greeks have ituited the example of their countrymen iu other provinces, by raising the standard of insurrection against the Turks. " The ttoops which the Porte has successively sent from Constantinople to the bled Candi& have been van ished. The insurgents, after snaking great carnage, took possession of all the farts in the Island, on which they have hosted the independent flag. A Greek squa dron, consisting of vessels well armed, is united off the Isle of Idea. Finally, to heighten the difficulties of the Ottoman Government, it is announced that an insurrection has also broken out in the Mores, and that a considerable number of Turks have been massacred in several quar ters of that province. "Many Greeks from Bulgaria have joined the corps of troops commanded by Prime Ypsilanti. Another body has been organized by a Greek named Karabia. The Porte has declared Prince Alexander Sums a trai tor. It is affirmed that two different parties in Wallachia have declared against the (Montan authority; but that there is a want of harmony between themselves. It is added that fortune has become favourable to Ali Pacha, and that he now numbers no less than 25,000 men under his standard."

A new Congress to he held in this capital is talked of, which will be attended by several Sovereigns who were not present ;at the conferences of Troppau or those of Laybach. The affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia remain in the same state. We arc ignorant of the effect which that insurrection has produced at Constantinople, especially since the explanation% which the two Imperial Courts have given on that subject. Meaow•hile the report is current that the famous Ali Paella has abjured Islesuism and embraced the Greek religion; by which means he expects to engage a great party in his favour, under ex isting, rircmnstances. FRAKFORT, APRIL I9.—The Gazette de Neckar says, the reports of the continued march of Russian troops and of fresh armaments of other Powers, are fables by which it is sought to agitate the public mind. The Vi enna journals appear to be pacific. The Austrian Ob server of the 1211. April, usentioning an article in the Alusiteur respecting the revolutionary plots in Italy, Spain. France, and England, says, " every thing is de- %ideal by the success of the Austrian arms at Naples and in Piedmont. The disturbances of Turkey will have no influence on the general peace of Europe; and the era is not far distant when the people will enjoy with tran quillity the benefits of c ivilisation." The report most generally credited is that of a grand assemblage of Sovereigns at Vienna. tlcxos, APRIL 14.—'rhe Casette of this city contain s two proclamations of the Count de Osneys, in which h e speaks only of oblivion of the past, and his ardent wish for the maintenance of good order in the city and duchy of Oenoa. An order of the Director-Oeneral of Police enjoins all strangers who have been for the last four days in the city and suburbs of Genoa, to quit them within 24 hour s unlesslhey can justify the continuance of their stay on their own affairs, by a certificate from the Consols. Per sons transgressing . this order shall be arrested, as also the innkeepers, who will Dot give the information re- quired by the ordinance. By a letter received yesterday from Turin, his Excel lency General Latour gives an assurance to the city of Genoa that the garrisons of the duchy shall be composed only of Pietionontese troops. NAPLES, APRIL G.—Conformably to the intentions of the King, who has declared that Ise will recognise nothing which has been done from the sth of July, 1320, to the 3d of March, MI, the Provisional tiovernment have just promulgated a decree which annuls the nominations of all the diplomatic agents who received any mission from the Revolutionary tioveratnent. Amongst them are : Prince Cariati, who had been appointed ambassador ex traordinary at the Court of the King of France ; the Duke de Caravanza, to that of Spain; the Prince (Awhile, to that of England ; the Chevalier Brands, Charge d'Affaires, and Secretary to the embassy at the Court of France, he. Tout :a. Amin 11—'ire learn that the legitimate order has been re-established fur three days past at denoa, by the co-operation of the national guard with the Pro visional Junta. This Junta itself bas been reastalled by the Count de Dewy., as tkverner-General. • Gazette of the 12th of April gives, it a the following detaiis of the etas.• dell and accompanied the occupation 0( by the faithful troops of the King aid Escaped from Novara and Turin, the rebels joined near Alessandria, under the command of Anttaltli, oa t o f the principal promoters of the revolution. Alessaadria was provided with every thing that could render its des fence long and difficelt. There were in the place pieces of cannon, and 79 bombs or mortars. After the repeated boasting ref these enthusiasts, ay from their manner of writing and acting, a vigorous re sistance might have been expected ; but the defects sad extravagance of their plans combined, determined them to anticipate the s moment in which the place should W totally invested. From 3,000 to 4,000 of their hest troops disbanded, Ansabli had only 600 men remaining, with whom l ke took the route of Genoa. These 600 men formed corps of students which had assumed a name eery worthy of it—the corps of.Vincreet. On the 11th, at noon, tb Austrian troops occupied the city and fortress of Ales— andria. The next day, at the same hour, the Commander. in-Chief, Count Bubna, toads• his solemn entry ; the keys of 11w place have been sent to Laylsach by a cou rier extraordinary, who is alto the 1%-arer of the standard which was to serve as a signal for a general revolt in • Italy. Novara, Casal, and Alessandria, occupied be military, present a more than snffscient security fur tie tranquillity of that part of Italy. It is said here that General Santa Rosa, Dr. Criva, and other revolutionists, to the number of 300, Jim, made their escape to the Genoese coasts, where they ace seeking for a passage to Spain. M stows, Aram 17.—(11y an extraordinary convey. ante.)—The snail, which left. Paris on the 7th, was car ried off between Matirigelo, and Serum, by the tiuerill.: of Merino, the curate of Vilnitiado. These bands increase on all sides ; and if the lioverntnent does not take rigor ous measures, sae shall soon be here in the same stie s, during the French domination—that is confusion. The law of exception, which has been adopted bid * fortes, and of which we give the details, puts under Ow judgment of the military authorities those accused of conspiring against the constitutional system. It remark. ably adridges the forms far this description of preced ing, the deputies thinking that the most expedition means were the best in these circumstances of term The decree consists of thirty articles. After the approbation of these articles by the Corte, several deputies proposed additions, which were referred to the examination of the commission. The English Ambassador, Sir Henry Wellesley, will set off this evening fur Paris. Mr. Harvey remains, as his Britannic Majesty's Minister at Madrid. The instruction of the procedure against the priest Don Mathias \limes& is terminated. The pnhlic debates will take place immediately. You know that the ac cused is the author of a plan of counter-revolntion. seized among his papers. This business sirongly inte7- eats the public curiosity. Mr. Virtues', it is said, ap pears very tranquil, and reckons upon contiagtrimivit antly out of the trial. It appears, however, difficult fer him to refute written shocumenfss which appear to lean no doubt of his projects. A detailed account of the revolution in Bahia is is• sorted in a preceding column. These details ar given in the morning !area, as if the affair had not been previously Loosen, and arc said to have been brought by a ship which left Bahia on the 14th of Fe• bruary. Yet if our readers will look back to TP: Stoic:man of the Ilth instant, they will find we as nottneed, that letters, were then in town from Bahis, of that very date, the Ikb of February. Those 'e ters stated that " at the above:date Bahia was perfectly tranquil, and the inhabitants waiting with the utnto , t anxiety on the subject of Portuguese affairs." Tie details, however, arc valuable, as exhibiting the ob ject and accompanying circumstances of the resole tion, and as demonstrating the conccrrence of tie people with the measures of the authors of the change. This change like others of a similar kind that I t av , . taken place of late in Europe, appears, from the sig natures attached to the Resolutions agreed upon, to have been mainly brought about by military wee: and, on that account, may be exposed to reproaches similar to those which have already been obnoxious to the Holy Allies. In inch a state, however, we canno: conceive that the soldiers have acted iu any maim that can justly give ofknce to those who ars must jelous of military interference ; or in any tear that has not a tendency to preserve the public peace and promote the public good. From the 10° ' meet the Portuguese nation decided on the Or they have taken, it was obvious their Colonies twirl he induced to follow their example, as the be means of protnoting their mutual interests sad avoiding the horrors of a civil war. This Otis on the part of the people of Bahia which ST /••• almost consentaneous with the change at Pa. cannot fail to have e ffect on the other parts ro: Brazil ; and will, it is hoped, produce a corresporsdi%. change in the councils of the Court. While the go"‘ and the people of Portugal and its colonies will tl.ss co nsult their proper interests, we ar e aware they nal pro p or tionally give umbrage t o those in Europe w l l 4 have arrayed themselves against alt innovation. It may furnish another motive to the llo!y Allies, to urg s them to assail the Spanish nation, whom they regard the model and the incentive of the recent revolutions. If the news in circ ulation respecting them b e tree,. that assault is soon to he commenced. In a Vienna article, in :he French papers , i t is said, Every th in _ announces that our whole army is ahont to be p nt on the war footing , and that the Landweh be r will charged with the interior service.

The Governor thus thrown upon his own discretion sent for two of the Leaders of the Revolutionary Party, told them that lie was informed if their projects and their force, and that he had writ ten to the King for instructions under the circum stances. lie added a request, that they would take no further step until he received his Majesty's answer. The reply to this Was, that as he had wtitten to his Majesty, they could not consent to anv delay. The Governor then said, that in that case, he would put thcm under ar rest, and ringing the bell, he ordered up the Aid-du camp, whom be commanded to arrest them. On the other hand, the Itevolittionary Leader• ordered the Aid-de-Camp to arrest the Governor, which he did, a body of the military appearing at the same time to en force it if necessary. The Governor was assured that he should he treated with every respect, and he gave up his sword. Thus in the course of one hour the re• ♦olution was completed with as much tranquillity as if they had been transacting the extraordinary business of the Government, or going through any mere for mality to which no importance was attached.

We learn from some Creek officers of the camp of Prince Ypsilanti, that the Turks, far from having been massacred in the towns or ►•illages through which h►s army has passed, have been escorted to the Danube by Creek soldiers, and that no violence has been exercised except towards those Turks who have made a show of defending themselves, anti refused to retire beyond the Danube. FROM RITIIIREST. WALLACHIA. The report which has been spread of the Bight of all the Boyards from the capital is not correct. Several of the most distinguished in this city are still here, as well as the metropolitan Archbishop of Wallachia. The officers of the troops usually attached to the person of the flospodar having declared for independence, they had obtained, by recruiting in the town of Bucha rest itself, a pretty considerable body of men who served already during the time of the occupation of this city by the Russians. The greatest tranquillity prevailed in the city. The Turks of Wallachia had been escorted to the Danube ; and no disorder had taken place at Bucharest when a division of Prince Ypsilanti's army was expected. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF EPIRUS AND MACEDONIA. Persons worthy of credit affirm that the Musselmen who inhabit districts of these two countries have joined the creeks who are in arms against the Pachas COM *lauding these provinces. FROM fIE AMII.t (ISTHMUS 07 CORINTIL) The Pacha of the Morea, after having with difficulty collected some Turkish troops to march against Ali Pacha, has passed by our neighbourhood to go to meet the Suliots. who are in alliance with Ali. The latter has put hie army to the route, and though lie has offered the suns of 60 francs per month to each soldier who should offer himself, be hay not been able to recruit his army. which is in the most deplorable condition.
