Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.
RIO JANEno, April 5,
At the request Of Capt. Stanton, who
sails tomorrow, | will give you, in few
lines, the actual state Of things in this
city:--Ihc Disturbances originated from
the different views Of the Republican
party and those Of the Portuguese resi-
dents here, who are still longing for the
old mother country. The Emperor has
changed his Ministry, though without
effect. Since the 18th ult we have
lived in continued state of disturbance.
Armed men run about streets, in the
night, and even in daytime; and there is
scarcely night passed without five or
six transformations. To-day the Empc-
ror has appointed new ministers. 1t is
reported that the habeas corpus is sus-
pended; and these groups of armed men
have been gathering tog ether in the sub
urbs ofthe city. Troops parade through
the city, but they do not arrest any body.
Commerce is at stand ;hothng bought,
nor sold The shops in some OF the
streets are all shut up. We do not
know when the present squall will blow
off,
The following letter from Bahia, da-
ted April'll, contain some further par
ticulars of this interesting intelligence.
We copy it from the Philadelphia Ga
Zcttc.
Since our circular per brig Columbia,
of thc-ult we have to advise of an en-
tire change in the Government of our
affection of our inhabitants towards the
old Portuguese officers and residents
here. Since the 1th no business has
been; every store and office of Poriu-
gucse and foreigners has been closed, s.
mostly, they have embarked on board
the shipping in the harbor. for personal
security. The ovcrturn of the govern
ment of the Emperor was effected by
GO0O armed citizens, joined by 5000
soldiers, (ncarIy all the troops now here
who have displaced the President and
General at Arms, together with all Por
tuguese officers holding situations under
government have appointed IA Prcsl-
dent Snr. Joao, Gonsalves Cczimbra, a
Brazilian, the Niconde de Piraia, as
General at Arms-and all the Counsel
lors and other officers are now composed
of Brazilians.
Atthis time there is little security and
considerable time must clapsc ere the
adventure on their daily occupations.
Proclamatons have, however, been is
sued by the new President and General,
to cndcavor to quite the public mind.
Strong patrols are appointed, who par
adc our streets and the populace arc dis
but 800 troops, chose the citizens side.
Many murders were however com
mitted on old Portuguese, and during
the nights past, many abuses have been
practiscd on them. All business being
entirely suspended, we cannot quote
prices of any articles. We have had
some arrivals of American vessels; brig
New Packet, from St. Helena, with all
her outward cargo, and brig Ceres, from
Boston; the latter proceeded to Rio yes
tcrday, it being utterly impossible to eff
feet any sales of her cargo. We have
refused all sales except for cash.
The last transactions in Exchange
were at 3od. There are plenty of su-
gars but no sales. Vessels find great
difficulty in loading; many have been,
obliged to 90 elsewhere for frcights.
BY the Lexington for Baltimore in n
few days, we hope to be able to advise
gilmore tranquil times-at present every
thing looks black
