The ennfosed stre of Mexico has been so great, aln.t, for a considerable time past, little or no infor mation has been obtained of the proceedings of that important section of tipinish America. We have at length, however, by a short passage via Spain, re ceived along arrearage of Mexico Gazettes, corre spondence, as well as some important information of what is going on in New Orleans. Our letters from Vera Cruz, which place for a long time has been as much. secluded from the other Provinces, as BoNA- P.SitTieS proposed residence is shut out from the inter course of Europe, has at length got a large convoy in, and our letters from thence, dated May 14, throw Considerable light on the insurrection of New Spain. Within the last six months, this had taken such a spread, that large bodies of insurgents had approach ed the capital of . Mexico, and the Viceroy was so much pressed, that he had been Compelled to call in several divisions cf troops to his aid, which were operating in the inner Provinces. So great was his urgency, that he had recalled the 1500 men who lett Mexico for Vera Cruz on the 22d April, as an escort to the convoy, all the property of which they had lodged in the Castle of Peiote, and were them selves proceeding back to the capital by forced marches. It would be impossible to enumerate the numberless actions detailed in the file of Gazettes, -not only in consequence of their frequency and em bracing along period of time, but our Readers would not know the geographical position of the places.— The principal military action is that of the siege of Coporo (45 leagues from Mexico), where the largest body of Royalist troops was employed, had been raised after considerable loss on the part of the be siegers. .As far as we can collect, the general aspect presented the whole of New Spain, is exactly the same as that of Oid Spain in the late war ; the Royalists possess only the capitals of Provinces, in which they are obliged to keep many troops to main. tain internal order, and keep their communications open as well as they can. They can hardly venture into the field, and even in this situation their ad vanced posts are frequently attacked, as *as lately the case with the ouo.eorks the Viceroy had establish ed two miles from ble::ico. The Insurgents Ara completely organized into strong guerrillas and par. ties, mad 'nothing Ruyelist can traverse the roads without covering troops. Whilst the Viceroy aid the Inquisition are .cele brating with Bull Feasts and Ts Ikaast ip the capital, the restoration of FEIWINAND to his throne, hisUrenee rals are burning the defenceless towns and villages, murdering their infrebitants,' and the Independents intercept the roads. talcenod fdiftlfrayong . Positieml establish points of support and • communication, strengthen their armies by the defeat and desertiou of weir enemies, which latter increases from the Viceroy Wing without funds. • It also Appears that the Independants send Agents to New Orteawi, to solicit arms from .the United States; they have.established opt Wine communica r tions with New Orleans, through the means of she Certhagena privateers which frequent their ports; and what is still more important is, they have esta blished a National Congress, oct a nt die reach of. Sp anish bayonets, as appears by the accounts received from Vera Ciuz, dated 4th May. The following is an extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, of the above date : " The resources of the Viceroy are so scanty, that the merchants of Mexico have not' been able to make up the loan of 500,000 dollars the former had de manded, and a New Junta of Ways and Means has , been tot med. 44 The sums coined in . the mint of Mexico for all the year Hit 4, are as follows Maar* la Silyk r • - 6,40:1,461 lu Cold 618.1196 In Cowper (first time since the conquest) 163,555 'I (Hai, 7,634 432 u This sum exceeds by one million and a half the coinage of 1813, and is only a quarter of what was usually coined before the Insurrection, which was 32 millions. The Viceroy has •been • forced to issue an order for copper to be received in payment, .in a fixed proportioieto the sums paid. The Guvernment . paper loses Miper cent." - The detaiisfrom which we have made the preceding extracts, fill the mind with horror and dismay. Mas sacres and devastaticui appear on. the face of each page, and again remind In of the conquests of Cortek and Pizarro. Their co nsequences will, however, have a , contrary .effect. he late peace with the United States begins to afford the facilities of arms; and Europe, ponder, whilst it is yet time, for it is the Republic of North America, that is about to reap the greatest share of the honour, glory, and fruits of rescuing the oppressed discoveries of Cottle:Bush - um an iron and Jegradihg ,yoke. • The following at itement, which we copy from a P.Ter, we hope a in, on investigation, prove to be unfounded: " An extraordinary transaction, which is stated to have taken place off the toast of Georgia, in the month April last, is become the subject of general animadversion. It is said that rabout 150ftegroes, who bad joined our army in , con sequence of Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE'S Proclama tion, were restoretl by an Officer of rank to their ori. ginal owner, contrary to the faith of that Proclima don.
