?lure has not been much business done up to- this hour in
the market. New Spanish opened at 60, went to 59i I, and
are now sq. Great fear still prevails amongst the principal
Brokers, that their Principals will not be able to pay the differ-
ences on the 50th instant, which makes them very cautious at
this important moment. The most doing is in New Spanish.

This forenoon we received a Brazil Mail, with
Bahia Papers to the 21st of September. They contain
some interesting particulars relative to the state of
that province, and an engagement which had taken
place between the Portuguese and Brazilian frigates.
The following are extracts :

BAHIA, AUGUST Se. •
The Idade d'Orro contains a long•narrative of the
rencontre which has taken place between the Royal
and Constitutional squadron (of Bahia) and the Anti-
Constitutional squadron of Rio de Janeiro: the for-
mer consisted of four corvettes and two brigantines ;
the latter of a frigate, two corvettes, and four brigan-
tines. The affair ended with the flight of the squa-
dron from Rio. While the two squadrons were in
sight of each other, four vessels came in sight, which
stood in for the shore, and were recognised by the
Bahia squadron to be a division from Lisbon, under
the convoy of the Calypso.
The Rio squadron was probably informed of the
expected arrival of these vessels, and intended to pre-
vent their entrance into the port; but seeing that it
could not prevent the expedition from entering without
its being protected by our squadron, it gave up the
attempt, and thought only of escaping, which it was
easy to do by the superior swiftness of the vessels.
The Commander of our squadron ordered the-Cap-
tain of the Conceicao corvette to approach the vessels
of the expedition, and desire the Commander to join
us. after seeing his convoy safe into the bay, while we
pursired the Rio squadron, which fled with all speed.
Thus we have had the glory on two successive days
of seeing the squadron fly which has been so loudly
boasted of by the partizans of despotism; their want
of courage being such, that though they had so ad-
vantageous a position, they suffered the expedition to
enter in their sight, thus seeing all their plans defeated
with which they designed to ruin this fine Province.
SEPTEMBER S.—The enemies who hover round us
do what mischief they are able. They are within a
league of the city, plundering and skirmishing as
happened last week at St. Caetano.
We have seen many letters from Rio, which affirm
that the Newspapers of Bahia are published there,
and that the friends of the Constitution in that afflicted
city, oppressed by the most barefaced despotism,
place all their hopes in Bahia.
The late Decrees of the Prince Royal breathe more
despotic spirit than all the Ukases of ancient Russia,
or the haughty Ordonnances of the Emperor of
Persia or the Sultan of Babylon. The authors of
these Decrees and Manifestos treat with unheard of
Contempt the Portuguese nation and the National
Congress. They alone know what liberty is, they
alone understand how to promote the happiness
of Brazil.
Sarvastasa 17,—A foreign vessel has arrived front

Pernambuco : the Itio Roadranind airehored there
Per asked for Ttliiisions and pa 'Or months.
The Provisional Junta, as we learn row fetters, or",
&rest everything to be given them, eat* *hat yrss+
wanted to repair the vessels, wbick there •were no
means of supplying. The infamous General Labatal
had arrived from the Alagoas, by land. Oa his ar-
rival he was hissed by the light battalion, forhaving
been the cause that an engagement with our squadron
was avoided.
The Naval Officers. (except the Commanders) de-
%clared

at Pernambuco that they had been deceived
at Rio ; that they per intended to fight against
Portuguese, and that they would go to Lisbon.
The Roard of Finance has Wed that, in conse-
quence of the low state of the Treasury, the most
rigorous economy it ibsolutety sicessary.

The Pretiet` Papers of Thursday and Friday have
been received. They make no mention of the illness
and death of Loess XVIII. which was so strongly
rumoured here on Saturday ; indeed the fall of the
French Funds, which was attributed to that cause,
was owing to new rumours of war with Spain; nor
can it excite surprise that the French, seeing the im-
mense preparations for war made by their Govern-
ment, should credit so readily nay. rumour of hos-
tilities which obtains circulation. It is difficult for
them to believe that the Ultras, imbecile as they are
would make these immense preparations without a
previous understanding with the leading Powers of
Europe, or that having once made them, they will
expose themselves to the ridicule which would infalli-
bly attach to their remaining inactive. The prece-
dent of Naples too bears so exactly on the principle'
of the present question, that they may be excused for
doubting the possibility of the Holy Alliance refusing
to France what it already granted to Austria.
A Council of Ministers was held in Paris on Thurs-
day, and it was reported that the result was a deter-
mivatfon to ge to war, and that General BC:MIME-
BOULT was appointed Major-General, under the orders
of the Duke of ArroonLesrs.

understood to be official—the Etoile of the preceding
