REVOLUTION AT RIO JANIERO.

Extract•of a Letter from the Agent to Li.o vp's, at Rio Janeiro,
dated the 3d of March.

" A Revolution took place here on the morn-
ing of.the 26th nit., and the wishes of the people
were obtained without the smallest disorder !"

The following are stated to be the circum-
stances attending this extraordinary event :-
4, On the 17th of February the Manchester packet arrived at
Rio de Janeiro with the news of the revolution at Bahia, which
excited much alarm, and give rise to such vague rumours as
commonly obtain currency in moments of popular agitation.
This state of uncertainty continued for several days. On the
22d the Icarus arrived, with the Conde de PA LMEL LA on board;
and on the 24th a Royal Decree appeared, datedthe 18th, in
which his N 1 AJESTY announces, that, influenced by a view of
the circumstances in which the Monarchy was placed, and by
anxiety for the welfare' of his people, he has resolved to send
his son Don PEDRO to Portugal, to determine ou and execute
the measures necessary for the restoration of tranquillity, to
hear_ complaints, to reform abuses, and to consolidate the Con-
stitution. And,, considering that the laws and institutions of
Portugal may not be equally adapted to the Kingdom of
Brazil, and his other ultra-marine territories, his MAJtsTY
orders. the convocation at Rio de Janeiro of Attorneys (Pro-
curadoreS) elected 'by the Municipalities of the Azores,- Ma-
deira, Brazil, &c., for the purpose of deliberating on such al-
terations and iinprovementi as may be necessary in the Con-
stitution agreed to by the Cortes at Lisbon. in another De-
cree, his MAJESTY appoints a Commission to enter into the
immediate investigation of the subject, in order to prevent
the delay attendant upon the arrival of the Procuradores.
,These Decrees arc said to have excited much discontent, and
we ' are told in .private letters, that • their falling short
of what - was desired by the Revolutionists, was attributed
to the influence of the Conde de PAL ME LLA, and the
temporary absence of the Conde dos ARCOS—On the
26th of February, at day-break, the troops were put in
motion, the square of Rocio was filled with soldiers, command.
ed by the Majors of Regiments, and all the approaches to it
guarded by cannon. All this was done' quietly and without
disorder. After a short time had elapsed, the PitINCE ROYAL
arrived at the spot, and was received with acclamations of the
King and Constitution for ever - He ascended the portico placed
over tile entrance of the Theatre, and read a decree, dated the 24th,
when the sovereign mob being 'pleased to disapprove of some
passages, his Royal Highness undertook to return to the Palace
of St. Christopher, and get them altered. This he actually did,
and returned to the square with the Decree so amended as to
be honoured with the assent of the legislative serjeants and cor-
porals there assembled. The Decree announces, that his MA-
JESTY having taken all the measures necessary to connect the
Lisbon Constitution with that of Brazil, and being convinced.
that the best measure he can adopt for the good of his subjects
is to give them that Constitution, hereby approveS it, and or.
ders-it to be received in all his dominions."

Paris' Papers of Monday arrived this morning.
According to advises from Vienna, Prince Yrst-
LANTI is expected soon to pass the Danube, and
penetrate into Bulgaria and Servia, in order to
extend the revolution into those provinces. A
contradiction is given to the report of the troops
of YPSILANTI' having massacred all the Turks
who fell into their power. They have, hovw ever,
put to death such of them as were taken with
arms in their hands, and treated those as pri-
soners who made no resistance, In opposition to
former statements from the Austrian Capital, it
now, appears that the Archbishop and several
Boyards remained at Bucharest. A few rich
families quitted Wallachia, and retired among
