Bahia Pacers, from the 23d of February to the 18thl
of March, reached n; this forenoon. The Indepencknec
constitucional of the 10th of the latter month has a long
and very violent article on the Portuguese, in which
allusion is made to the events at Para, of which ac-
counts were given some time ago. The Portuguese,
who are called the " accursed Portugese," and Portu-
gal an " accursed soil," are accused of reviving a scene
similar to the Sicilian Vespers, at Para, and of having
excited disturbances at Rio de Janeiro. No. 19, of the
liderendente Conslitncional contains a defence of Lnrd
COCHRANE :%ainst the calumnies spread against him by
the enemies of liberty, and especially by the Lisbon
Gazelle.

No. 25. MARCH 10.—We have received most afflict-
ing and extraordinary news from Para, where a furious
Portuguese, a Dignitary of the See, having succeeded
;n deluding some soldiers, and forming a Lusitanian
party, revived the fatal scene of the Sicilian Vespers, in
,r(l,-r to hoist the Portuguese standard. But we are
rejoiced at the speedy re-action of the valiant citizens of
Para, who, crowding from all quarters, restored order,
l';1 again displayed the colours of Independence and
Liberty of Brazil.
'the way in which the accursed Portuguese
everywhere act, continuing to spew the sinister inter-
' of their infernal policy, since there wa6 a tumult
.tto at Rio de Janeiro,on board some of the ships of war,
•:,,ised by the Portuguese seamen in the service of this
Lrnpire. GOD grant these may be the only proofs that
Olese c,inoille fray give us of their frieadchip. Great
as is our bliodness in the midst of a war, *facto and de
j7tre, we still believe in the conversion of men. who but

a few months ago were forced to lay clown the arms
e,?rch they used against us, and who now silently
-wait the moment when they may again act against us.

that sortie larger apartment in the Hospital he appro-
