BOSTON, MAY Is.
We have been obligingIy furnished
with file Of Bahia papers to April 3.
They do not give any particular account
OF the state of things in that city, but
their silence indicates that their late dis
turbances are qnieted and order restor-
cd. 1t would seem as far as can be
Judged from the contents of these pa
pers, that the constituted authorities have
obtained complete ascendancy.
The paper of March %, contains an
animated address from the council of
Rio de Jsnerio to the King and Cortes,
setting forth the reasons which induced
them to suspend the execution of the de-
cree requiring the return of the
Prince Royal to Europe-and pray
ing Tor the revocation OF that decree. 1t
is stated that the removal of the Prince
would have reduced Brazil to its for
mer colonial subsection 10 the mother
country and would have received all the
grievances which had heretofore exist
ed. The Council represents that should
the decree be enforced, il will lead to
civil war, and the separation of Braz
from Portugal will be inevitable--a
strong jealousy ofthe mother country Is
manifested in the expuse--and which
concludes as follows 49, Js
Such, sire, are the weighty and Just
reasons which obliged this loval and con-
stitutlonal people to request II. R. II. the
Prince Regent 10 suspend his departure
from this kingdom, until your Majesty,
after obtaining intormation OF the actual
state of things should decide what the
best interests OF the country required.
In the name OF the people pray your Ma
jesty to revoke the DEGREES of 29ih Sep
TENDER las-thereby leaving Brazil, the
person oil II r H.-so thai she will not
want GENRE OF union or rallying point
and that she may not be deprived OF the
only guaranty of her liberty and future
prosperity.
=" In conclusion, sire, we swear in the
presence of your Majesty and the whole
world, that Brazil wishes only constitu-
tional governmenl-and that an implaca-
bic war will be waged against any other
attempted to be imposed upon her.
Brazil requires privileges equal to those
OF Portugal-she must be equally sove-
rel ;n-equally free-eeually indepen-
dent"

Shocking occurrence Some negroes
oil the family Of Gen. G. l.. Davidson, of
lredel county, in this state, unwilling to
SO to Alabama with the General and his
family, who were about to remove there,
took the desperate resolution of destroy

Generals daughters (Mrs. Simonton

were absent looking for suitable lands

La GuAYRA, APRIL %, 1922.

Dispatches have been this moment re-.
ceived from Coro, communicating the
welcome intelligence that Gen. Morales.
in attempting the reduction OF that neigh
borhood, has been suddenly surprised by
three divisions Of the Patriot army, and
is awkwardly placed in the centre of a
triangle, which they form. His return
TO Porto Cabello, or to any place of en-
barkation, being thus intercepted there
can be little doubt that his capture will
precede the immediate capitulation of the
last resting place of the Spanish power
en- this continent, and the conquest Of that
dreadful! dungeon Of Spanish despotism.
You may safely predict the fall of
Porto Cabello, in 2 or months; should
this event be deferred, it will be imputa-

potence of the Colombian general

FROM MEXICO.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY Ii.

The Mexican minister Ehzaidi, who
has been Tor some time expected from
that country is not now expected before
June. Some changes had taken place
in the internal concerns of the Revolu-
tionary government, which appeared to
diminish the idea of permanent sub
mission to the three guarantees.
There are three parties in Mexico, as
there has been in all the other of the
states OF South Amerlca-a party inc!in-
ed to the European connexlon--a party
which unites the desire to be indepen-
dent OF Spain with that OF substituting a
despotism OF their own--the third party
is for independence and representative
government upon the principles of the
Colombian and United States republics !;
the first is composed of few persons,
but very poweriul-the second is more
numerous, more active, and is at present
the party which holds the attachment oil
the military force-the third is the mos,
numerous, having some few of The opu-
lent, and all the liberal people, and the
great mass of The population-this latter
party gains its due place gradually, and
many of the second party have come over
to the third; the first appears to retain
its limited numbers undimimished, bu'
without retaining its influence; and the
third or popular party, which pursues a
very moderate and steady course, APP
pears likely to obtain, as in other paris
of Spanish America, the ultimate ascen-
dancy.
Gen. Wilkinson's visit to Mexico is to
claim debts long due to him, from men
who are now Of great wealth, and with
whom he had many years ago mercantile
transactions which he could not obtain
returns for after repeated application
for many years. He is also acting as
agent for several persons who have
claims on the Revolutionary govern
mcnt. aurora.

We are gratitied TO perceive by an adj
vertisement in our paper this week, Jh4l
an establishment is about TO be com
menced in Wethersficld, for Manafac-
turing Grass Bonnets and Hats, and is
intended TO be carried on to a considers
BILE extent. Mrs. Sophia Wells, who is
to have the prlncipa! superntendence OF
the establishment, is the lady whose
ingenuity first wrought this kind of bon
nets, and who received for one OF hel
efforts, valuable Medal from the Roy
al Society of Arts in London, and was
offered a handsome premium in none
on condition that she would furnish u,
Society with sample or description
the Grass, and an account of the mode
of preparing and manufacturing it, 10
which condition, we understand, she has
not complied. She has also obtained q
patent for the invention. The other
young ladies who are to act as snperin-
,endents, have we believe received pre-
NUNS for Grass Bonnets from the A gri-
cultural Society of this county. Ii must
give satisfaction to every person to wilt
ness this attempt to emulate an ingenious
md elegan, foreign manufacture, the i'm
portation of which has drawn vast sums
# money from our country; especially
IS it is founded on female skill and in
1ustry. Ttere is no doubt that Grass
Bonnets and Hats can be manufactured
quail in quality and beauty to an Leg
norns imported, and if they can be at
orded as cheap, they will have a prefer
ence, and thence be an essential benefit
o the country in retaining its specie and
promoting its Industry. We hope that
ibis EXPERIMENT will succeed, and that
others in different parts of the country
will engage in sirni!ar enterprises.

Some time in the latter part Of May,
a man about 5 feet 10 or II inches high,
well made, OF light complexion, calling
himself Henry Franklin, came to our
settlement, and hired to work one month.
In few days it was ascer,ained that he
had stolen rifle, together with some
other property. He was Immediately
apprehended and put under keepers for
the night He had his arms pinioned,
but in the course of the night he made
his escape, without shoes or hat. He
remained IN the woods one night, then
stole span OF horses-was pursued
about 100 miles, and taken at or near
Fort Edwards, brought back, examined,
confessed the fact of stealing the rifle
and horses. He was then sent under the
care OF the constable, and another citizen,
towards the Jail. On coming to the
creek, the constable observed that it wa,
swimming deep, and went forward with
his horse. When he got into the cur
rent he was carried down with the stream,
when the prisoner was bid to stop; but
he plunged MS beast into the stream
above, in order to make his escape. HIS
beast went under, and with much diff
Guilty extricated himself; but the unior-
tunate prisoner sunk to rise no more
In about three days his body was found,
which was taken up and buried. He
