EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VION DATED 304 E 25.
"I most heartily. Wish 'that Sir Itsoanat and hip
friends were safe out of the country: They can be of tip'
possible use in the present state of aitairsq andfihnti
the Constitutional Authorities Are remeired, It will be
fortunate if they meet with no Worse treatment than
they experienced in Portugal, Indeed, they are
already getting, every day, more and more out ofl
favour ; and it is even whispered, that Montuti and
Quznoow delayed attacking the French,. in ex-
pectation of the promiiiiif. aid, till it was too late to
. •

do it with any prospectikauccess. The Government
have not answered amp of the letters to them by Sir
lionsitr, during the time he has been here, or thOse
which he wrote from England.
" It will be well if the change takes place without
bloodshed, which is at least doubtful ; not that I
apprehend any danger from the. French or the new
icuthorities; but there will be a short period between
the change from old to new, when die prisent
rulers and the military will have necessarily fled ;
and the town will, during that period, be left to the
indiscriminate vengeance of an enraged and lawless
rabble, who may be easily instigated to desperate
acts ; and who will, I expect, be exasperated with
,the English on account of thepart which Sir ROBERT
WILSON has taken."

By the Brazil Mail we have received dfile of Bahia
Papers, the Idack d'Ouro to the 28th May. Up to
that time nothing serious had taken place between the
Bahia squadron and that of ltio.
Thtee foreign vessels, with provisions, had entered
the port• Pievious to their arrival the situation of
the town had become very distressing, by the scarcity
of articles of the first necessity. Oti the 3d of May
the besiegers attacked on all points with their
whole force, and fled after a heavy fire of two
hour's duration: the garrison had some killed and
wounded, and the loss of the besiegers is said to have
been considerable. The Rio squadron could not be
brought to a separate action : LORD COCHRANE had
at ranged with LAB AVER, that the squadron should
enter the port otithe day that the general attack was
made on the lines, but this plan failed.

Frankfort Papers to the 3d inst. received this morn-
ing,
state that the corps of Austrian troops under the
command of General Sxtrrruntuttsr, who evacuated
the kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the spring, and
have been cantoned for some months in the States of
the Poet, and in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, have
received orders to continue their march to the Get-
man provinces of the Austrian empire.

Quebec Papers arrived this morning to the 17th
June, but they do not contain any intelligence of
importance.
