CITY, WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

A mail arrived this morning from Rio de Janeiro,
bringing letters from Bahia, dated on the Ist of September, by
which it appears that the Brazilians, after a short resistance,
had possessed themselves of the island of Taparica, only seven
miles distant from Bahia. At the above period the second expe-
dition from Portugal had not arrived at Bahia, and the Portu-
gtrese troops there did not exceed 2,500 men. In the meantime
the Brazilians were approaching that place by land, and little doubt
was entertained of the speedy establishment of the liberties of,
certainly, the most important state in South Americi, from its
extent, situation, climate, productions, &c. ' gratifying to
the well-wishers of humanity to observe at present, that where-
ever the standard of freedom is planted, success is its ge-
neral attendant. In Greece it has has triumphant, for by
advices received from Salonichi of the 14th of, September, it 1,
appears that this long oppressed people, taking advantage of
their commanding fleet; had made different disembarkations on
the coast of Macedonia, and had much harrassed the barbarians
by their activity. CHOURCIIID PACHA had received the most
pressing orders from Constantinople to make a second attempt to
beat down the liberties of the Morea, but his means were so in-
adequate, that no success was expected from his efforts ; and,
besides, a numerous corps of Greeks from Vrathory had ad-
vanced to Thessaly, and threatened the rear ,;f the Turkish
army, should they make any attempt again to penetrate into
Livadia. In Spain, liberty is attended by equally beneficial
results. In the City no doubt is entertained of General Mina's
important victory over the Baron D'Eroles. The Army of the
Faith is composed of banditti and legitimate robbers, who oc-
cupy the tops of mountains, and rob unprotected travellers.
Their conduct may, however, delay, but it cannot alter the
final result, which must crown the Ptninsula with the bless-
ings of liberty and prosperity.
At the Corn Exchange, the fresh arrivals of grain since Mon-
day amount to 4,400 quarters of wheat, 4,000 sacks of flour,
3,190 quarters of barley, 10,600 quarter's of oats, with 430
quarters of the latter article from the starved population of
Ireland. The trade, on the whole, is extremely heavy, without
any alteration in prices, but large supplies will reduce the value
of every article, should the wants of other districts not draw
them from the London market. For bonded wheat the export
, demanded continues at low prices, anti bonded barley and oats
are also both inquired after for the Spanish and Portuguese
markets. There is every prospect that during the winter and
spring months a quantity of bonded grain now in England will
find a market in foreign nations.
A good deal of business was done this day in the British
Funds, which has produced a slight advance, and strengthened
the opinions of those who look for a considerable improvement.
The panic in the Foreign Funds has nearly subsided this day,
and the usual bustle has been exhibited.

In Paris the Spanish Old Bonds haue advanced to 90, and the
difference betwixt their value and that of the new is thus ac-
counted for in letters received from that capital. One Hundred
Old Span. Bonds of 100 dollars each, are equal tolo,ooo dollars.
The Spanish Government will receive these dollars at 70 per
cent., and the 100 Old Bonds will consequently produce 7,000
dollars in money. By converting 7,000 dollars in money
into subscriptions in the Great Book, at 50 per cent. they
will produce 14,000 dollars, in the new Spanish Stock ;
14,000 dollars in the New Stock, at the last Paris price
of 71i, with an exchange of 4s. 3d. a dollar, will produce
the sum of 2,127/. ss. sterling. Comparing this with the pre-
sent price of the Old Bonds, it will appear that so long as the
New Loan is not under 711, the Old Bonds will leave a small
profit at par, for 100 Bonds of 100 dollars each at par, are worth
10,000 dollars, which, at the fixed exchange of 4s. 3d. will pro-
duce 2,125/. A great deal of business was .done this day in this
Stock, and the New closed at 731, after the closing of the Ex-
ckange. The Poyais New Loan is done at 84, and on the whole
the market looks favourably for every description of funded or
nation al securities.--( Morning Chronicle.)

We understand that a rencontre took place
on Tuesday morning between Sir HunsoN LowE
and the Baron LAS CASAS, eldest son of the
Count of that name, opposite the house of the
former, when the Baron applied a horsewhip to
the shoulders of the Major-General.—plorning
Chronicle.)

In consequence of the death of J. IL SMYTH,
Esq. late Member for the University of Cam-
bridge, it is understood that the SPEAKER of the
House of Commons is likely to succeed to that
honourable representation without opposition.
The remains of THOMAS M'KENRIE, M.P.
were to be removed this day from Leicester-
square, for interment in the New Church, Mary-
le-hone.

Lady NUGENT, we are concerned to state, lies
dangerously ill at Viscount EBRINGTON'S house
in North Audley-street. Her Ladyship is at-
tended by three physicians.
