The following is the latest intelligence
from Bahia.
Extract Of letter, dated Bahia, Oct. II
With some slight exceptions our city
is tranquil. A commander in chief Of the
army, appointed by the emperor, has been
sent back to Rio de Janeiro; the troops
refusing to acknowledge him, he not hav-
ing borne any part in the late campaign.-
Since which, Gen. Lima, formerly Col. OF
the Rio troops) who was appointed to the
command on the arrest of Labatal, has re-
\ signed, and is about to return with his re-
giment to Rio de Janeiro. The command
J. ot the army has been assumed by the pro-
vlslonal junta, and in consequence OF some
disattection arising from this change, three
of its members have declined any longer
participating in the government.
We are promised visit from the En-.
peror, measure, which at this moment
would be very polite, and might serve to
unite his subjects and attach them more
firmly to his person.
"A prVet of a constitution has been Of
tered to the General Assembly, which will
Undoubtedly undergo many changes before
it is offered to the people. Considering
the present situation of the country, its
provisions are liberal the most exception

by some. too much power is delegated.

Greeks, will be held at o'clock p. NJ. OH Satur.

confidently hoped will be numerously and res.
Ipectably attended.
1t is hoped, that no extraordinary inducement
need be presented to the people of Wilmington
to assemble on this occasion. 1t would be libel
lon them to suppose, that they do not sympathize
with the unfortunate and interesting inhabitants

principles Of civil liberty, and for the finest mo-
Idels of devoted PATRIOTISM in their present srug

United States has recorded the sentime nts of q
patriotic statesman, in relation to the cause Of
the Greeks sentiments which We hope and trust

support their chief magistrate on this OCCASION
and shew to the world, that wherever men strike
for freedom against barbarious oppression,

are defending their wives and children, their re
