FROM BRAZIL

The brig Glory arrived here on Saturday last, in a passage of 52 days from St. Salvador, but she brings no important intelligence. All was quiet by the last accounts from Pernambuco, and the Royalists at Bahia had prepared to celebrate the victories obtained by the troops over the Patriots. The line of battle ship which was expected at Bahia with part of the troops, it was said had become leaky in a gale of wind, and had fallen to leeward as far as Paraiba, in a state of distress. Markets are glutted with American productions.
