AMERICAN PAPERS. We are indebted to Captain Clark, of the schooner Splendid, for a file of the Vem Crux Noticioso, from Augusts to August 15 inclusive. Captain Clark brings verbal information, that on the sth day after the landing of the Spanish troops, they took possession of Tampico. This information is confirmed by a paragraph given below. Commodore Porter was under arrest at Mexico—cause not known. _ The paper of the 12th gives a list of 14 expelled Spaniards, who have embarked in the expedition against Mexico. An order was issued on the 7th, by the Gafe Interino of the Canton .1 Vera Cruz, commanding all the Spanlarda resident in tORDS and vii. lages s and other places, to retire 25 leagues into the interior, ac cording to the provisions of the law, dated 20th March, 1229, in case of a forein invasion. The extraordinary Sessions of the Chambers opened. in the city of Mexico August 4; D. Pedro Maria Anaya was elected Presi dent of the Chamber of DepadM, and D. Vilentia Gomez Farias, President of the Senate. WWe shall publish the President's Mes sage to-morrow. if it appears to be of suMcitnt Interest to be worth translating.—A Bill was passed by the Legislasure of the State of Vera Cruz on the 2d of August, authorising the Government to levY an assessment of 50,000 dollar., in the s h ape of a loan, to be secured by a guarantee of the public rents. The paper of the 6th mentions, on evidence which the Editor says is perfectly satisfactory, that " General Pedrasi, late l'resi dent of Mexico, is now la Havannah, and that In one of the nights of last month (July) he was seen to enter the house of Captain General Vives, in disguise. Persons have just arrived who were eye-witnesses of this act. 0 vengeance, how sweet thou art !"--. The right of the English Vice-Consul to use a telegraph which he has in his houses in order to communicate with Tenth of his na tion which may arrive in sight of the port, is discussed Pt some length in the paper of the 15th, and, under the present circum stances of the country, denied. TUSPA M, AIM 3, 1829. MY &Timm Vuerie—The enemy landed on the 26th of July, on the point called Cape Roque, to the number of 3,000 men. They have entrenched themselves in some sand-banks about 100 rods from the shore. The principal Officers who command this horde of European robbers, are Armband°, who is to remain at Tampico ; Catlos Maria Lloreate, who is to proceed to the cap ture of this place (Tuspam) ; and Barradas, who h to penetrate as far as he can into the interior. Among the same gang is that vile wretch Fr. Pedro Indela, who was in Tampico four years . . • The enemy has taken two coasting vessels, via. the schooner Ceci lia, and the Jan Juan, laden with corn. ERA CRUZ, Aua. 11. _ . We have just learned that the Spanish Expedition, whine in tended destination was Tuspam, has landed at the mouth of Tee()luta. To.day three of the transports have returned; and, ac cording to information communicated by the Captains, our troops had already assembled to the number of 600 cavalry. They all marched in a body to meet the enemy, anxious to show the su periority of a man who fights for his liberty over him who defends tyranny. The result is now doubtful! A few days more, we re peat it, and we shall chaum the anthem of victory. VERA CRUZ, Aua. 3. What can be the object of the infamous invaders in landing at Cape Roque/ On this point various opinions have been broached. For nutselves, we are inclined to believe, all things considered, that it cannot be their purpose to invade our Republic through that point, but only to produce a diversion, in order to accomplish their premeditated attempt upon this city and the Castle of Cline.— Hence we infer the great and indispensable necessity of keeping both places well covered with troops, to avoid a surprise; for should such an event happen, the consequences will be most disastrous. EITSDITION AGAINST TIM 'STADlUM—Eighteen transports, three of them American, left Vera Cruz on the 7th of August, with 1400 men under the command of Gen. Santa Anna, escorted by three national vessels of war, to operate against the Spanish army landed at Cape Roque. They are stated to be com pletely equipped, and well officered. The land expedition, consisting of more than 1,000 men, cavalry, and artillery, marched, a few days previous, for Tuspam ; so that the said expedition will consist of about 2,500 men. General Val divieso, who has marched from San Luiz Potosi upon Tampico— Sr. Garza, General Velasquez, and Colonel Serrano, all proceed ing to the same point, to assemble a division of 10,000 to 22,000 men, " will operate (says the Noticieso), under Gen. Santa Anna, against our a sin invader, who are already unfortunately in pos session of the ancient town of Tampico. The triumph is certain ; eight days more, and we hall sound the anthem of victory." VRRA CRUZ,, Anal/IT 15. By letters from Tuspam, which have been received in this city, dated the Ilth instant, we learn positively that Gen. Santa Anna wasat that place with the expedition under , hi command, making every preparation to give the Spaniards a warm reception. The sante letters say It was reported in Tuspam that the invaders of Cabo-Rojo (Cape Roque) had gained sante advantages over 150 or 200 citizens. whose intrepidity carried them too rashly into the presence of the enemy. It is added, however, that the Spaniards will very soon experience the vengeance of the Mexicans, as, in the immediate neighbourhood of that place, there were more than 1.1,000 men, determined to conquer or die. The Captain of the vessel which brings this news states that ac cording to the information given him, five Spanish soldiers and a Corporal bad deserted to the Mexicans, who alleged that, includts ing the troops on board the ship which had disappeared (the Bing ham), the expedition bad lost more than 500 men since leaving II avannah. " PROCLANIATION OF GENERAL SANTA ANNA, " ozmaarm-m-CHIEF Or THE DIVISION Of OPIIRATIONS AGAINST Till seaman INVADERS, TO Till TROOPS UNDER HIS COMMAND. " Soldiers ! The Spanish expedition, so often announced as preparing at Havannab for the invasion of our territory, has at length arrived ; and these vile slaves of the greatest of despots have already dared to set their feet upon our soil at Cape Roque. Obstinate in her purpose to reconquer this country, Spain has not ceased to provide the means for eventually accomplishing it ; and this army which now presents itself is the vanguard of the great expedition which she has prepared as the result of her arduous la bours. It is the last attempt which will be made by that imbecile nation to deprive us of independence. " Soldieral These perfidious men provoke us to an encounter. They will bud, to their sorrow, that you du not shrink from this, but that you are already on the march to accept the challenge.— They threaten you with death ; but the sharp end of your swords will infallibly cause them to perish by hundreds, and to bite the soil which they have dared to profane; insomuch that not an indi vidual will remain to witness the destruction which their rash en terprize has merited. " My Friends ! A delightful field of glory opens before us, in which we will gather new laurels—valour and constancy, disci .pline, subordination, and order.. Such qualities as these cannot deceive us. Always remember that you fight for independence and liberty; and let those dear names urge you to combat with double ardour, till the triumph is achieved. That it will be achieved who can doubt ? " Soldiers!"—lt is better to die—to die a thousand deaths, if possible—than to suffer the hard yoke of oppression, which these tyrants seek to impose. Independence or death! Let it glitter on your atantlard : let it be the only sound which echos through your camp, as it is and will be the motto of your General. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. " Heroic Vera Cruz, Aug. S. 1829." CITY OF MEXICO, Am. 5. It is said that General Arredondo (Spanish) is at Soto la Marina (say 100 miles North of Tampico) with nineteen vessels. If so, the enemy purposes to attack us at two points. The convoy of motley arrived on the £Bth July at Tampico de las Tamani:paa.— The military Commandant ordered its return to Tula, notwith standinkthe opposition of the Vice Consul. and it seems that the Govercroent has given orders for its removal to Mexico, to be placed at the disposition of its owners. A fine assistance to the Spaniatils.this 400,000 dollars would have been,; neulaer, are there wanting persons who say that the English have purposely dieted the above sum to that point, in order to aid the enemy.

Tax Leas Etzemon.—lt appears that the Editors of the Mosican &l have broached the question of the legality of the election of President Guerrero, as made on the 6th January last by the Cham ber of Deputies. The Editors adopt the opinion that the election was illegal; and consequently, that the present Government is un constitutional. The Caere. de k Feekracion, in commenting upon these obseruations, says, " We are satisfied that the question started by the Editors of the Sal is seditious, unseasonable, indis creet, and in the highest degree injurious. We all ought to contri , buts to the permanency of the existing President, and to speak and write against the Ministers, if their measures are disapproved. The liberty of the press cannot be employed in subverting the founda tions of society without serious inconveniencies." klazzoo.—The New York Animal of Ownweeree says,—" Letters were received by the Burdett, from Havanna, containing extracts from Vera Crus letters as late as July 30th. By these we learn that the Mexican Government had made a negociation with several wealthy individuals of the city of Mexico for a loan sufficient to meet the exigencies created by the Spanish invasion. This inform ation is the more satisfactory, because much apprehension had been felt lest the public necessities should induce the Goverment to take possession of the convoys from Mexico to Vera Cruz. Indeed, it had not disguised the fact, that by some means or other money must be had. CORRESPONDENCE FROM TILE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. Bee Office, New Orleans, Aug. Si. Our city is again a prey to the yellow fever. The number of deaths daily augments. Yesterday there were from twenty-five to thirty. For more thad six weeks we have had continual rains, • which contribute not a little to extend the fatal malady. GOD only knows when this scourge will cease its ravages. In the meantime, our Corporation performs every thing depending on it in assisting the indigent sick. They have appointed physicians, who render their services gratis in each district ; they have also appointed apo thecaries to furnish medicines, and also committees to raise funds by subscription. Among the unfortunate deceased there are many more Mexican Spaniards than people from the Northern States. A friend who visited the Spanish camp yesterday, reports, that the troops enjoy good health. They are awaiting the answer of the Captain-General of Cuba to a letter directed to him by the Commander of these troops two days after their arrival at the Wise. The ship Bingham, in which they came, is not able to proceed on her voyage. The Spaniards mutt stay here until they receive transports from Havanna. FRENCH PAPERS. From the Moniteur of Monday. PARIS, OCT. 4. (Non.olliclal Part) —News received from Constantinople, dated the 10th inst. announce that the Porte has, consented to treat on the following bases : " 1. The free navigation of the Black Sea, the Bosphorus, and the Dardanelles, for merchantmen of all nations which are at peace with the two Powers. g. The demolition of the fortifications of Ghuergevo. " 3. The cession in Asia of Pod, Anapa, Akhalzilt, and part of its territory. " 4. An indemnity of eleven millions and a half of ducats, of which one million and a half are to be paid in three instalments, at intervals of six months, and the remainder in ten annual instal ments. The payment of this sum is guaranteed by the occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Porte has the option of discharg ing the debt in a shorter time ; and the Russian troops will deliver up the provinces immediately after the entire payment of the in demnity." From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday. PARIS, Gerona S. _ _ _ No doubt was entertained at Constantinople that the Sultan would immediately send to General Diebitsch the ratifications of the treaty, which alone were to suspend the march of the Russian troops. An extraordinary messenger from Madrid arrived the day be. fore yesterday at the hotel of the Spanish Legation, and was dis patched yesterday evening to London. The ofi►cial part of the Mouiteur contains a Royal Ordinance, appointing Brugnot, Minister of State and Member of the Privy Council, to be President of the Board of Trade and Colonies, which is re-establislied by his Majesty's Ordinance of the Bth of Augusta VIENNA, Sm. 25. An English courier has arrived Mere, who left Constantinople on.the 10th. He brings word that General Diebitsch was will at Adrianople on the 12th. Though the news of the taking of Shumla has reached us by different channels, it does not seem to be fully confirmed. The official publication of the treaty of peace is every moment expected. From a more recent letter from Vienna, it appears that mercan tile letters from Bucharest, received on the 26th Sept. have announ ced and spread the report that peace was signed on the 14th. From the Journal des Debats. PARTS, °cram S. - - - - - _ We confine ourselves to reprinting the following phrase of the Moniker :—" The Charter being the guarantee of Royalty, as Royalty is the guarantee of the Charter, how is it possible to suppose that the Ministers should be so ill-advised as to destroy the contract which unites the King with the nation, and oat which their common inviolability reposes?" And we should not return to this imprudent and guilty phrase if it did not appear to designate the desperate crisis of the Ministry. They evidently wanted to he considered as royalty, and to make it run their risks, expose it to their perils, and oblige it to enter into a personal defence. Obliged to retreat, and being as cowardly as they are presumptuous, they expose to danger that royalty which is so necessary to the safety of all. In order to justify themselves. they declare in principle in the Monitesse, that if a Ministry were found capable of that with which they are reproached, royalty might cease to be inviolable. We do not comprehend what is meant by the inviolability of the nation, but the inviolability of the King is indestructibly engraved in our hearts. It is the fundamental principle of the Charter; it per vtdes every part of it, and it will survive the partial and fleeting alterations in the laws. If a Ministry, therefore, was so ill advised, so audacious, so la Bourdonnaye, to make a violent attack on any one of our institutions, the passive resistance of all good men, the protests of the powers of the State, the refusal to pay taxes would be legiti mate and necessary ; but only the Monsieur dares assert that Royalty would be no longer inviolable. There would be treason among the Ministers, and sooner or later they would be impeached before the Chamber of Peers. That would happen which has been provided for by the 56th Article of the Charter ; for what greater treason can there be than a conspiracy of the Ministers against the laws of the country ? But Royalty would preserve its grand and inviolable Charter. From the Courrier Fraafais. PARIS, OCT. 5. Perhaps the theory of M. Bonal.l may not be generally remem bered; but the clever members of all parties will not have for gotten it. Administrative Constitutions, said M. Bonald, in the Conaervatestr, being an artificial combination, more or less in jurious—every Nliniuer„ according to his mind and disposition. enters more or less into this artificial system, and takes or re jects the two conflicting systems nut of which it is formed. The ingenious solution given by M. VlBrie of the system of the Charter, is also to he found in the Conservateur. His representative system includes the Liberty of the Press circumscribed, Petitions discussed with closed doors, two species of Election, the candidateship being placed in the lesser properties, and the vote in the large properties. Such is :he Charter as it is drawn up by the legislator of Toulouse— a system which has since been amplified by M. Cottu. After hearing M. de Villele as a Publicist, let us look at hint as a Minister, and we find him practising despotism in the name of the Charter, and giving to caprice a legal form. This is now definitely and completely carried into effect ; it is the object for which 31. de Pulignac and his colleagues are united. This pro ject is not new; it was first conceived in 1815, after the events which favoured the contempt publicly announced for the Char ter :n 1814. It was then perceived, not only that the Logone ought to have been different, but that it might be made use of as a respectable cloak to cover the nakedness of some pretrudona too Aristocratic or Ultra-Monarchical. Under this point of view, the veneration and love displayed few the Charter by the majority in Ist 3, Were very remarkable. By biro:jog t" s Charter, M. de la Bourciontiaye and his friends, and, at a lake period, M. de Vinci,. have enacted measures the most destructive of our regional institutions. M. de Polignac has not hesitated to avow that he i 4 converted to the Charter, of which he nuw undertands the naysir rious meaning. The same plan of biding one's self behind a word, and making things lie for us, is now more than ever the order of the day. It prevails in all poets, and is apparently allowed to be seen by design, in order to prepare the mind of the public for greater changes. The Charter is undoubtedly the wooden knew ut which our enemies wish to conce themselves, in order to sur prise and conquer public liberty. The Quotiditane was the first to enter the breach to the cry :of Monarchical interpretation. These words express the whole Ministerial plan. The counter revolutionary victory is in the fundamental law properly inter preted. By these means we shall have a Representative Govern ment, which represents the doctrines of the emigrant, the preten sions of courtiers, and the interests of privileges ; a Press which the Minister shall be at liberty to silence or not.

The investi;,►ation which has for some weeks past been going on at the East India House, relative to charges preferr. d Against Captain Thomas Larkins, Commander of the Hon.. Com pany's ship Marquess Camden. terminated ye,terday. The charges preferred by Mr. Hayiett, Captain Larkines Chief Officer, were tried before the Shipping Committee ; Capt. Wm. Stanley Clarke, President of the Court. The following is the official statement of the charges preferred against Captain Larkins : " re Tat 1110FOUILIIIILZ THE comstrraa or SNIPPING. EAST INDIA 'totter. " HosoultAllLE Stas— In presuming to appear before you, believe me I Dave a painful teak to perform ; but impelled by a sense of duty which I owe to myself, and which to surrender would be almost criminal, I have no alternative, and feel bound to peeler the following Charges against Capt. Thomas Larkins, commander of the lion. Company ship Marquis Camden : `t First Charge—Fer putting me under close between the hours of two and three o'clock on the morning of the nth Novem ber, 1828, whilst moored in the Whampoa River; and although serious indisposition was the consequence of this solitary confine ment, and my life was considered by some in imminent danger, yet it was not until the 25th of the same month, when, by the in terference of t►e President and Select Committee, an order was issued by them for my immediate release. " Second Charge—ln challenging me to personal combat on the poop of the Hon. Company's ship Marquess Camden, on the evening of the 26th March, 1828, during the period that I was officer of the watch. " Third Charge—ln addressing Die at various time during the voyage iu language the most gross, revolting, and insulting—de moralising in its example, emanatini from the Commander of the ship, derogatory to the character of a gentleman, disgraceful and highly censurable as an officer in the Honourable Company's Ser vice. (Signed) WM. HAYLETT, Chief Officer H. C. S. Marquess Camden." The Court has sat upon these charges almost from day to day. Nearly all the officers and crew of the Marquis Camden have been examined at great length, and separate evidence taken on each dis tinct charge. Several of the common sailors spoke to the validity of the statements preferred by Mr. Hallett, whilst, on the other hand, the officers and part of the crew wholly negatived them. The evidence having been gone through, the Court proceede.l to consider of its judgment. The complainant was served with two distinct notices, apprizing him of the day on which the case was to be decided, but to neither of these notices was attention paid. The Court therefore proceeded to suns up the merits of the rase in the absence of the accuser, and through the President, Capt. Clarke, the Court honourably acquitted Captain Larkins, who immediately received the congratulations of his friends. The Court of Dire. tots of the Company, at the usual weekly meeting, held yesterday afternoon, confirmed, as is understood, the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry. THE ARMY. His Excellency Lieut. General Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C. B. Commander in Chief of the Forces at Bombay, was, according to the latest accounts; about to sail for England. Major General Sir Leonel Smith, K.C.B. will, in consequence of his Excellency's de parture, succeed temporarily to the command of the Forces; and be succeeded in his command of the Poonah Division of the Army by Colonel Fitzgerald, C.B. of his Majesty's 20th Regiment, at present Commandant of the Garrison of Bombay. Great changes are ordered to take place in the organization of the Bombay Marine. The officers of that body are to be formed icto a corps, to be called the Marine Corps, and to be militarily commanded by the Supetintenclant, Sir Charles Malcolm, with the tank of Major-General in the army. The petty officers and sea men are to be enlisted into the marine, the same as men are now enlisted in the army, and the corps will be subject to martial law. The North Devon Cavalry assembled at Belle Vire, near Tor rinron, on Thursday ae'nnight, when they were inspected by their Noble Colonel, Lord Rolle. After having gone through a field day much to their credit, under the command of that well-discip lined Yeomanry Field Officer, Major Stevens, to the entire 113t11- faction of their Colonel, the whole of their Officers dined at Steven stone with his Lordship, and the occasion was rendered doubly pleasing by its happening to be the seventh anniversary of his Lord ship's marriage with his present most amiable ano deservedly re spected consort.
