At that date the Government had not received the official ac count of the capitulation of Tampico, and—indeed — could not. But the official bulletins, and "reports from the officers in command, had assured them that the destruction of the Spanish army—or its surren der—was inevitable. In the mean time, the greatest union prevailed. The Decree of Amnesty has been published, of which we have received a copy. It restores without excep tion all persons banished from the country by the Decree of April 15, 1828, for the insurrection called Montano. They are not only allowed to return, but to be replaced in the stations from which they were removed. This is an Amnesty very different from that of the beloved FERDINAND. The Govern ment, desiring also to efface the recollection of the disorders at the close of last year, has ordered all the money that was taken from the Conductors to be immediately repaid: and we have thef urther pleasure to announce a DECREE, for the total ABOLITION OP SLAVERY in the MEXICAN TERRITORY—an event, which we hail with unfeigned delight. But what will be the effect of this measure, on the two or three hundred thousand slaves in the island of Cuba ? We warned the Government against that partial policy, which per mitted Cuba to be made an offensive station, whilst at the same time it was protected by the English power from attack. Let Ministers now take the consequences. We have only time, to-day, to lay before our readers the in teresting State document just mentioned, by virtue of which Slavery has become extinct in Mexico. DECREE: DATED MEXICO, 15 SEPTEMBER, 1829. The PRESIDENT of the United Mexican States, to the Inhabitants of the Republic! Desirous of signalising in the year 1829, the anni versary of our Independence by an act of justice and national beneficence, which will add confidence to the public tranquillity, and co-operate for the prosperity of the Republic, by restoring to an unfortunate class of its inhabitants those sacred rights which nature gave them—which the laws encourage : and using to that end those extraordinary powers, which were granted to me by the thirtieth article of the Con stituent Act, I direct— That Slavery shall be abolished throughout the whole Republic. That from this day forward, all these who have been regarded or held as Slaves, shall be free• 111. When the pecuniary circumstances of the Republic admit of it, the proprietors of these former slaves shall be indemnified, according to the regulation of the laws. Signed, VICENTE GUERREIRO. Countersigned, JOSE MARIA BOCCANEGRA. ~r Since writing the above, we have received farther let ters from Vera Cruz, of which we subjoin a summary. We lament the loss of life, but congratulate the friends of liberty on a triumph, the prelude to which has afforded so much additional security to South American indepen dence, by the energy and valotit displayed on that occa sion by the Mexican army : - "All doubts must now cease in regard to the surrendir of the Spaniards at Tampico to Gen. SANTA ANNA. By the Mexican mail, arrived this morning, we have received Veit Cruz Papers to the 286 of September, containing a long official despatch from the above General, dated Tt gapico, 19th September, SI substance of which is, fat he demanded their surrender in 48 hours, otherwise he'would not give them 14 quarter. A message was sent to Gen. SANTA A met, - but he refused to parley. A dreadful storm prevaildi during the contest, which overflowed his lines with whiter, and iilaced some of his •- • ' 1 I* i g k* • ; , v i q ,s, troops in a very critical situation. When the storm abated, SANTA ANNA succeeded in taking one of the forts, on which the Spaniards hoisted the white flag, and surrendered on nearly the same terms as already stated. The Mexicans lost 127 killed, and 151 wounded ; the loss of the Spaniards consisted of 104 killed, and 96 wounded." Frankfort Papers are received this morning, from which we make the following brief selections : BERLIN, Nov. 25. We are informed that his Majesty the Emperor of Rue%la bas acknowledged the laudable zeal and the success of Lieutenant General Baron Von Muffling in his mission to Constantinople, by conferring on him the outer of St. Alexander Nuosky, and a present of 100,000 silver rubles. The affairs of Greece must now soon tale a decided turn; many friends of Greece are spry hensive that that people may be checked in its developement, they are particularly desirous that Count Cap d'lstrlas may . remain President of the new State. MUNICH, Nos. as. In Art. 10 of the commercial I onvention concluded between the kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtemburg on the one band, and the kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse on the other, it is stipulated that the Consuls of either of the contracting Powers residing in foreign sea ports and commercial towns shall be.instructed to afford protection and assistance to the subjects of the other parties ; in reference to this article the Minister for Foreign Affairs has published a list of the Consuls and commercial agents of Prussia in foreign ports. His Majesty is still waned to his room by the hurt in his foot, which. however, is gradually, though slowly, getting better, and does not binder him from devoting the greatest attention to the affairs of Government. A change In our Ministry Is still spoken of.—Franifert Papers. Noe. 49. A Mexicin Mail has arrived this day, bringing files of the Curreo de Mexico to the 17th Sept. The news from that quarter has been anticipated. We give the following extracts to thew the determined spirit of oppo sition that animated the Mexicans previous to the defeat of the Spaniards : MEXICO, Sm. 13. We have before us letters front New Orleans to the 50th August, which affirm that the second expedition from the Havannas was to sail on the 24 or 3d instant, and that its foree would amount to 3,000 men. Many asserted that it would go to Vera Cruz, but we cannot believe this. It Is most natural that its plan should be to reinforce the division of General Barradas, which cannot be very strong at present. However, we must not neglect any point, as the enemy has the advantage of knowing where be will attack us, and we cannot obtain certainty on this point. The invaders have published a commercial notice, in which they exempt from all duties provisions of every kind, except flour, which is to pay half the duty feed by the Tariff of the Havannah—i. e. four dollars per barrel. Many Spanish vessels were at New Orleans, preparing to sail with such articles for the expedition. At Tamaulipas, at Tornado los logieses, there were 1,300 or 1,400 Spaniards, ready to em bark for some point on our coast, opposed to be Matamoros or Soto de la Marina. The Spaniards are making their last efforts to assert imaginary rights on a free people. We have received no news from the Said of battle, but we know that the enemy's force was daily growing weaker, and that our army was actively engaged in the necessary fortifications. General Santa Anna was to attack the enemy be tween the Bth and 10th inst. The Mexican troops were eager for battle, and besought the Commander-in-Chief to lead them to the attack. Our forces are about 0,000 men. under Generals Santa Anna, Fern, Corlazar, Velasquez, and Valdrureso. We do not know to what point the ,Army of Reserve is to go, which is commanded by the valient Ge neral &momenta accompanied by able and brave officers. Sam 14.—The Dorm of this date contains a Decree of the Pre sident, by which the widows of the bikers who have died during their banishment, on account of the plan of Montano, are to be re lieved by the Monte Pio; and the officers themselves implicated in that plan. who may be in many parts of the territory of the Rs public, are immediately to present themselves, in order to be re. stored to their rank, as their services may be employed so Mon uge in the present commotion. of the Republic. This, says the Caro, may serve to quiet the alarms of those who realty believed that the eztraordinary powers granted to the Executive might be abused. We see that it is most inclined to show moderation and indulgence, and to offer a reconciliation between all the Mexicans, and has began by pardoning those who were banished on account of the affairs of Tuiandngo. We have reason to expect that this amnesty will be extended to all those implicated in Moe• tano's plan. An express from this army, received to-day, brings word that our General would begin his attack on the Bth. As the 24 Spanish expedition was to sail on the 6th or 7th, It will probably reach our shores about the 23d or 24tb, by which time the division already landed will be nearly ruined. The Corm of the 14th and 13th contains an article en the jostles of declaring war against the United States of North America. Great rejoicings were making in Mexico to celebrate the anni• versary of the independence of the Republic.—Corree xis Maim, 171 k so. The character of General BOLIVAR does not stand in need of support against the diatribes of libellers ; but when there is a systematic attack making on the illus trious Chief of Colombia by anonymous ; though well known—newspaper writers, and by persons styling themselves historians of the President LIBERATOR and his Country, because the LIBERATOR has taken measures to put down anarchy, and combine order with liberty—it is a duty to 'put the world on its guard against these machinations. In such a feeling, we give publicity to the following letter from the brave. General O'LLAiv, commenting upon a work pub lished last year by Cot. Dunn, and ushered into the world with all the authority of an authentic narrative, under the auspices of his highly respectable house We shall only now say, ex hoc disce omnes ! EXTRACT Or A• LETTER PROM GENERAL O'LEARY TO A TRIEND IN TOWN. I have by chance seen a few extracts from a work entitled " Recollections of a Service of three years, during the war of extermination in the Republics of Venezuela and Colombia," by an Officer of the Colombian Army, published last year. The author seems to be a clever man, for his capability of invention is cer tainly very great. I doubt if William Tell pulled the bow with more spirit. In about three columns of the Albion, in which I found the extracts I allude to, the apple is bit in every line. I shall only take the trouble, notwithstanding, of giving the author a dementi formel as far as my name is concerned. The gentleman has been pleased to say, that " at the .further end • sat Colonel 01.ziatv, then one of his Excellency's Secretaries, on the ground, with a small writing-desk on his lap, writing dispatches of a military nature, to the dictation of BoLIvAL, who—at the other end of the room—was sitting on the edge of a large South American cot, slung from the ceiling. To avoid the inconvenience of the hest, he was unencum bored with apparel, or covering of any description, &c. &c." And again—" he alternately dictated to O'LEARY and whistled a French republican tune, &c." —Wholly false! I have never seen General BOLIVAR in the indelicate situation so ludicrously described by the author ; nor have I ever heard . his Excellency whistle, in the eleven years that I have had the honour of serving under him. Let us proceed a little further. The author then says—" He (General BoLy v A R) immediatelv desired one of the soldiers to procure me some coffee and cigars." General Bor.' vA a never offers cigars to any one ; nor have I ever seen even his most distinguished friends smoke in his presence. The author alludes to a Captain MARDYN, as being at the time he speaks of with General Bo Ly vA R. 1 have never known an officer of this name. He then adds : " I replied in the affir mative, when he instantly sprang from his cot, and pro ceeded to embrace me, according to the custom of the country, by enclosing me in his arms, and kissing my . cheek!' General Bouv it very seldom inclines in his arms any person by way of a salute : and as to kissing, it is too ridiculous an idea to admit of belief. I recollect at the interview of Santana, Ge neral MoaILLo, on being introduced to General Bo- LI VA R, received him in the manner described by the author—a circumstance which greatly disgusted his Excellency. In another place, the author says that General BOLIVAR condescends " in render ing himself the promoter and applauder of obscene jests." I need not tell you that this is utterly false. The rest of his description of General BoLiv MC'S person and manners are equally misrepresented, as you are aware, if you have received the book in question. The author then gives a cock-and-a-bull story of a perilous night-scene in a town which he calls G►arsos. As there is no such place in Colombia, I need not add that I neither was present, nor did I hear of such a circum stance. John Bull must have become a great Jack-ass if he gives credence to such fabrications. I verily believe that the author of the " Recollec times" has never seen General BOLIVAR in his life. If you think it worth while, you are authorised by me to publish the above. I have been told by Colonel NxeDuAM that a gentleman of the name of MACIRON E has had a correspondence with the Editor of the Examiner, which he has promised to let me see. • • • • • •. I have just read MACIRON I'S letters, and the impudent replies of the author. There was no Colonel MACKINTOSH in Carabobo ; nor any person of that name. What MACIRONE says in his letters is perfectly true." We have heard that the friends of the Abolition cf Slavery propose to have a public dimier to commemorate the adoption of that principle, and the decree which has just been promulgated in Mexico: Mires acquirit eundo. CITY. TwaLvs o'CLock. Consols whist left off rather heavy in the House at 941 95 for the Account, were afterwards done at 9S Boyers, and opened this morning at 95 toil for January. Reduced may be quoted 931 1, with little budnees doing as yet. In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds is the only transaction at present. • They have improved owing to the confirmation of the surrender of the Spaniards at Tampico. CITY, HALF-PAST ONIL The Suctuadort of Consols this morning is as follows :—Opened 95 buyers, afterwards sellers were again done at 954 buyers, then 944 ; and are at present 94i for the Account. The extreme flue.- tuatien this week has been about 3 per cent. The decline of Consols to 94i, was owing to a current report that the olive for receiving Life.Antruilles had stopped receiving until Monday. Thls caused some alarm to the speculators in the funds ; but, on enquiry at the Mice, we find that they would not receive for a sew minutes, until they arranged a new Table of Interest from .95.55. to ,t 5 4s. owing to the high price of the Funds : and they continue to receive the Life Annuities as before. The above was known at the Stock Exchange. The current Market im proved from 941 to 95 for the Account. In the foreign Market, Mexican Stock has been at 264; since which it has declined to 241 51. Shares had improved in the morning ; but have also declined to the prices of yesterda LIVERPOOL, DEC. 3, 9 P. M.—Up to the above time there has been no communication with the Napoleon New York packet : the weather is thick. A Halifax Mail has arrived by the Opossum ; sailed from Bermuda 30th October, and from Halifax Nov. 10. ,Also a Mail from Vera Cruz by the Lady Wellington; sailed on the 28th September, and from the Havannah October 16. By the above conveyance we have received from the North and South American Coffee-house Hali fax Papers to the 10th November, Prince Edward's Island Papers to the 4 th November, and Miramichi e..- pers to the 21st October. The former Papers bring ac counts that the Rifle Brigade landed at St. John's, New Brunswick, on the 29th ultimo, and the 81st Regiment commenced embarking on the 2d instant, and it was sup posed would sail for Bermuda on the 6th instant. The latter Papers do not contain any information of the least importance. The report still prevails that the Emperor of Russia is dangerously ill, or has been poisoned ; but the well-in formed give no credit to the above report. The Galatea frigate sailed froni Vera Cruz on the 9th October, and brings a considerable quantity of specie to this country, both for the merchants and the Mining Companies :—for the United Company's Mines, 40,000 dollars ; for the Bolanos Company 130,000 dollars. The private letters from Vera Cruz state that two con ductors had arrived at Vera Cruz, one from Mexico with 800,000 dollars, and the other from Tampico, with 460,000 dollars, for merchants' account. Accounts from Anticosti, in the Halifax Papers re ceived this morning, state that by different affidavits taken by Captain Etayside, it appears that great depression and considerable idjury to the fisheries have been committed by vessels from the American States. The private letters from Vera Cruz (which are of a much later date than the packet, having been brought by a frigate) state that Santa Anna had wised at Vera ruz. Joy was expressed in the capital ep the happy event of the surrender of the Spaniards. At the last tithe audit of the Rev. T. Dural:, Rector of Willoughby, near Alford, that pntleman returned to each of his tenants 10 per cent. on the amount 4 their tithes. The Rev. R. CHOLMELEY, Rector of Wainfleet All Saints, returned 10 per cent. at his late tithe audit. Mrs. TINDLEY has returned 10 per cent. to her tenants at North and South Collingbam. The Rev. T. L. BENNZTT Vicar of Long Sutton, returned 10 per cent. at his ti the audit at the Bull Inn, on Tuesday lest. A LIBERAL LANDLOILDw4Ohn Rowe, Esq. of Bally harty, in the county of Wexford, returned the last half yer's rents to the tenants on his estates. This estimable young gentleman resides constantly in Ireland, and is thereby enabled to do more good than a dozen of those blustering self-called patriots who dhide theii time between aqu the poor and affecting to deplore their sitna tion.—Eueug Mail.
