Letters were yesterday received from Bahia, con-
taining an account of a revolution accomplished,
there in favour of the present Government of Portu-
gal. The following are some of the details which
bate COM to hand:—
Extract of a letter front Bahia, dated February
19th. 1821:
" We avail ourselves or a vessel sailing to Ham-
bro' to baud you the important intelligence of a poli-

tical change here.
On the morning of the 10th, the constitution
was proclaimed by part of the military, and after a
slight resistance was unanimously agreed to.
" Tranquillity is now completely restored, and
will, no doubt, continue. For particulars we beg to
refer you to the enclosed Proclamation below, which
will specify the Members of the Provisional Govern-
ment, men of integrity, and high in public estimation.
" The Conde de Palma was elected President, but
refused the appointment."
PROCLAMATION.

The Commanders and Officers of the Troops of
the Line of the Garrison and City of Bahia, met to-
gether in the Palace-square, in presence of the Go-
veruor and Captain-General Count de Palma, being
all equally desirous to avoid the effusion of blood,
which unfortunately might result from motives, ori-
ginating in the fear of the people that the wishes
they have manifested of adhering to the opinions of
their brothers in Portugal, might be frustrated, with
whom they wish to be perpetually united ; and to
participate with them in the benefits of the liberal
Con►titution, which is at present establishing in Lis-
bon, resolve as. follows:-
Ist. To swear obedience to the high and powerful
King Don JOhn the sixth, and adhesion to his Royal
•Iynaaty ; and to preserve the Holy Religion they pro-
fess.
" 2d. To swear to the Constitution that may be esta-
blished by the Crates in Portugal, and intermediately to
that of Spain, in the same manner as has been adopted
intermediately in Portugal.
" 3d. That the Chamber propose for the approval of
the troard and people, the persons who are to form the
Protlsioual Junta, that is, to govern this province until
such time as his Majesty shall have solemnly sworn to
11:e Constitution.
" ttli. That the Provisional Government, immediately
its it.stallation, form an act for itself, and in the
bilillC of this province, of adhesion to the Govern-
ss.ent of Portugal, and to the new order of things there
established, which shall be transmitted to the said Go-
s-ernu►tut, and to the King our fiord.
" :pth. That the Provisional Government will imme-
diately proceed to the nomination of Deputies of the
-ovince, to join the Cortes in Portugal.
6th. That all the acts of public administration
continue a► heretofore iu the name of King John
Sixth.
7tli. '1 hat this shall be a slay of general reconcilia-
between the inhabitants of this province, who for
political differences of opinion may have hitherto
%agreed.
