By the arrival at New York of the bark Erastus
Corning, from Rio, we have news from that port up

crowd of North AMERICANS that had congregated
during the month of March in that port, there is
not syllable about them in the Portuguese papers.

received to the llth and 14th of March, Bahia
continued to enjoy perfect tranquility; the an
nouncement of the dissolution of the Chamber of
