ar.r.:n.t.etd yesterday, in the groatr‘r part td
our in.pression, die arrival of letters Imm Bahia of
the 1711) of. April, Annouheing that the insurrection
at Pernambuco on 'the Pith of March, and which had
spread down the coast to within about forty leagues
of Bahia, had been so far quelled as to be Con f. Ord
to the !units of Pernambuco ; where it was expected
to be soon quelled, as the Governor of Bahia ha.'
been very active in sending three s!:ips of war with
troops to blockade the harbour, 4nd it•was known
that Pernambuco was very short of provisions. Busi-
ness of wane was at a stand at Pernambuco, but the
letters state, that hitherto private property Lad been
respected.

Two of the armed ships sent against Pernambuco
were the Carrarto and Nerewie. Previously-to their
arrival off the port. the Iniurgents had succeeded in
taking the garrison and a number of convict% from
off the island of Fernando Noronha, which had made
an addition to their force of about 400 whites. The
Governor of Bahia -bad begun to assemble his dis-
posable troops upon the river St. Francisco, midway
between Bahia and Pernambuco, and forming the
boundary between Sergippe and the latter province.,
Six hundred regulars had reached that rendevou z,
and the militia were under orders to join them, when
'the whole corps would march against Pernambuco,
under the command of Brigadier-General JONQUINO
on Wm.°.

The district of Alagoas, in. Pernambuco, had, it
is reported, been su:prised into revolt, and had joined
the insurgents at the instigation of a Colonel com-
manding that distrizt ; but the inhabitants had sub-
sequently returned to their duty. The interior of the
northern part of the Province of Pernambuco, which
furnishes the Capital with meat, had refused to ilOd
any t and wheat (when the accounts came away)
was sold as high as 100 rein per bushel.
It seems, however, pretty evident, that the Brazi-
lian Government has greatly endangered its own se.
curity, by send:ng its troops into the territory of
Monte Video. The following letter, from a source
by no means favourable to the ratriots, indicates
plainly enough, that the HOT:bt of BRAGANZ.I, in
seeking aggrandizement, on the pretext of resisting
revolutionary principles, has only brought trouble,
upon itself :

" RIO JANE:IO, MARCH 2s.

' The Revolution of Buenos Ayres has acquired fresh vigour,
by the conquest which the army wider the command of General
v. 4141 MARTI,: has just made of the kinenni of Chili, the We
of which country was decided on the i Yth of February, by the
batik of Cha:abuco, in which the King's troops were beaten
through the want of skill in their General, MARCO. On the 14th
they uccsapied the capital, and a'irost at the same dine the other
various Provinces of that Ktngiutn, which did nut make the
smallest resistance.

" From the th of January, at whlrli time the Portuguese
took possession of Montevideo, the army has rimamed encamp's!'
in the indulty of the town. In the mean while the Orientals
occupy the whole of the country, and intercept all couunuolca-
dons by land. Amass still remains at Hereidero, where, tt
is said, he has replaced what he lost in the battle of Arapey.
The occupation and pacification of the Eastern Bank, bas now
become so euterpt jar of a most t'ilfireit ns.urc."
