An insurrection has broken out in the Brazils, which has

occa- sioned much alarm among the merchants trading to that country, and the owners of Brazilian stock. On the 7th of November, the garrison at Bahia mutinied, and declared the Province of Bahia independent of the Government of Rio Janeiro. The President of the province and the Commander-in-chief took refuge on board a Brazilian corvette. When the last accounts were despatched, the insurgents had the unmolested control of the city of Bahia ; and, it is added, had taken precaution against allowing the British and other residents to be injured in person or property.
