We have received, via Madrid, the following ac counts from Vera Cruz, respecting the recent insur rection in Mexico, which appears to have lost much of the formidable aspect which it at first presented. : SPANISH AMERICA.—VICRA CRUZ, MARCH is. On the 3d instant, the brig Vengador entered this port in safety ; and on the 4th, there were the whole day at the entrance of it a corvette from Santander, h Leona, and it Custo, of this port, perfectly fitted out as cruisers by the Insurgents, with two merchant men which they had captured coming from Cam peachy. On the sth, an express arrived here from Mexico with the news that Colonel Iturizde, with the corps under his command, had joined the insur gent Guerrero, and that the two divisions had pro claimed Independence, and seized upon 700,000 piastres and a quantity of goods going from the capital to Acapulco ; that Cavaleri had done the same at Cuernebaca, and that the two Chiefs were at the distance of two leagues from that place, with the intention to go to Mexico to contiane their work, in which it was asserted they were agreed with the Viceroy, the Archbishop, the heads of the Corpora lions, and the principal persons of the Capital. On the 7th two Proclamations of Iturizde were received, sent to our worthy Bishop of Puebla, with the regulations which that insurgent proposed, which were, to form a Provisional Junta, composed half of Europeans and half of Americans, with the Viceroy as President, but without a vote, till a Prince of the Royal Family should come from Spain to be Empe ror; and that, meantime, Cortes should be con voked to draw up the Constitution of the Kingdom, by which, according to him, the persons and pro perty of European Spaniards should be respected, and they themselves at liberty either to !main in the kingdom, or to remove with their property to whatever place they chose ; with other favours which this new legislation would grant us, to deceive us, as happened to some persons in the abovemen tioned city. What confirmed public opinion in favour of the , just cause was, the declaration of the Junta of Offi cers convoked by the Viceroy, to whom they all offered their services, assuring him that the troops of the Capital were animated with the best spirit, and they themselves ready to follow and exterminate the rebels with their troops. Another favourable cir cumstance was, that the Archbishop, the Conde de La-cortina, the Municipality, &c. delivered to the Viceroy the letters and Proclamations which Iturizde bad sent to them, at the same the testifying to his Excellency their desire to contribute everything in their power to the restoration of order and tranquil lity in this kingdom. The dependent of lturizde, Mier y Villagomez, who went to Mexico to distribute letters and procla mations, was taken before he delivered to the Vice roy those which he had for him, which his Excel lency would not open, treating them with merited contempt. The first news received from Mexico and Puebla disposed the minds of the few troops of the country and of the populace in favour of indepen deuce, so as to be publicly shewn, and to cause us some uneasiness; but all ceased when they saw SOO, European inhabitants enrolled in the National Mili tia, well armed, and resolute to maintain order, which we have hitherto done by means of patrols, Ite. and we may affirm that Vera Cruz will be the last place in this hemisphere to separate from the Peninsula. MARCH 14.—Yesterday, the Cinco Hertnanos and the Ramoncito happily arrived here, with the news that his Majesty has appointed General Juan O'Do saki Viceroy of this kingdom, and that he is to come on board the Asia. The letters which we have received from Puebla come down to the 6th inst. and state, that Iturizde, with the Insurgent Guerrero, remained at Aquila, with the intention of retiring on board an American vessel (which was then there), because he had been deserted by a great part of the troops whom he coin- Mended, end the force of the two Chiefs was reduced to 9000 men. Senor Marquez left Puebla on the sth, with 2000 soldiers, and Senor Linan was to do the same at Mesico, with 4000 men, both in the di rection of Acapulco, to pursue and exterminate them, and recover the convoy of treasure and effects plun dered by that infamous Colonel. Various other Regi ments have marched, so that it may be safely affirmed that the force proceeding against Itutirde and Guer rero amounts to 10,000 men, composed of the best troops of the kingdom. New York Papers to the 19th of May arrived this morning. Among the extracts which we subjoin, will be found an article from Havannah, which not only confirms the accounts respecting the Mexican Insur rection received from Vera Cruz, via Madrid, but adds, that Colonel ITURIZIM the Chief of the rebels , had submitted, and made his peace with the VICEROY. NEW YORK, MAY 18. An Havannah Paper of the 25th ult. states, that the brig Rayo, from Campeachy, brings the news, that just before her sailing from that port, the Spanish brig Thirtieth of May, had arrived there in a short passage from Vera Cruz, and brought the positive in formation, that the insurrection in the kingdom of Mexico had been ineffectual—the principal lea*, Colonel Iturizde, having solicited and obtained parH don for his offence ; that two battalions of his troops , bad previously gone over to the King's Authorities; and that the said leader had also delivered to the same Authorities half a million of dollars, out of the treasure which he had before taken possession of. Extract of a letter, dated Havannah, April 28: " The United States' sloop of war Hornet arrived here on the 22d instant, from New York; the Officers ' and crew are in excellent health, and the little ship in fine order. A large convoy of vessels, bound for Cadiz, sailed from this port this morning. The fri gate, which accompanies them, has some millions of , hard Spanish dollars on board. The privateers, or patriot gentlemen, will stand some chance of filling their pockets. They will, however, have to fight hard, as the vessels are all armed. They are impu dent enough to come within sight of Moto Castle. The Hornet will sail in a few days for Pensacola, and will touch here on her return to the United States." Extract of a letter, dated at Villa de Praya (St. Jago), April 8, 1821: " On the 23d of March, Bonavista declared the Constitution, and refused longer to obey any orders from this place ; but on the 4th instant, while the troops were paraded in the public square in this vil lage, in celebration of the birth-day of Donna Maria de Glorsa, a Princess of Portugal ; and after repeat ing Viva El Rey Nasso Senhor,' and long live this Princess, whose birth they were celebtating, and all the Royal Family, and firing three vollies of musketry, was proclaimed, to the astonishment of every spectator, Viva Ia Constitucati: repeated three times, and fol lowed by three vollies of musketry, and a national salute from each of the forts. A Committee imme diately waited on his Excellency the Governor-Gene ral, with articles previously, though privately drawn up, of the basis of a Constitution, to which they de manded his Excetlency't. signature, and he, seeing all the troops had deserted him, complied with their de mand; since which, that, and each succeeding night, this village has been illuminated, and business wholly suspended during the day, to afford time for feasting and rejoicing. LATEST PROM CAPE HAYTIEN.—The schooner Echo, Peck, left Port-au-Prince on the 27th April. A Gentleman has politely furnished us with the Pal au-Prince Telegraph of the 22d ult. from which we translate the only articles of consequence. A num ber of Officers concerned in the lam revolt had been tried, and sentenced to different grades of punish ment. Boyer appears to have exercised clemency whenever it could with propriety be extended. We learn that the disturbances in the Arrondisse ment of Gonaives have been entirely quelled. On the 10th instant Charles Garland, one of the conspi rators, was conducted to Gonaives. He had been pursued, wounded, and arrested by a patrole. There are no others in the woods. While at St. Mark's the President, with his usual clemency, pardoned the ac complices ofJosephGerome, an caused them to be set at liberty. He acted in a similar manner at Gonaives. The people of these Arrondissements received the President with the greatest demonstrations of joy. They have heard the voice of the Chief M'. istrate, and promise never to be again misled by any devices with which the enemies of the Republican system may tempt them to swerve from their duty. We have received a supply of German Papers of recent dates, from which we extract the following ntellige nce respecting the Greek insurrection. It possesses novelty ; but of its substantial correctness we have strong doubts : LEIPSIC, MAY 14. A traveller just arrived from Turkey has commu nicated the following information respecting the com motions there :—A corps of Ypsilanti's army, under the command of Colonel Colcotrony, has passed the Danube at Sistow. About 10,000 Bulgarians and Servians, who assisted the passage, joined Colco trony's corps. All the Bulgarians have taken up arms, and the capital, Terhowa, the key of Mount Hems, is in the possession of the Greeks. The army of Epirus has advanced towards Thessaly, and the 80,000 men whom the Sultan sent against it, are nearly annihilated. Soli, Parga, Prevesa, and all the strong places of Epirus, are likewise in the hands of the Greeks. The Peloponnesus or Peninsula of the Morea is almost wholly delivered from the power of the Turks. Patras, Neocastron, Tripoliza, and all the fortresses of the Morea (Mothone and Cozone ex cepted) have been taken by the Greeks by storm, and with great slaughter. Rage and disorder are carried to the greatest height among the Turks in Constantinople. The bazaars and all kinds of shops are shut. The Janizaries and Bos tangistis rob and murder all Christians who venture , to chew themselves in the streets. This fate awaits' not only the Greeks, but also the English, French, Germans, and in general all who are called Franks; so that the whole Christian population of Constanti- nople may be said to stand on the brink of the grave.. —Letters received at Vienna from Constantinople, dated the 25th of April, give a melancholy picture of the state of things there. 'Executi& ns of the most eminent Greeks continue with unheard of rigour, and only a few families have succeeded in_ escaping by night. The serious nature of the Greek insurrection, and its having extended to the Islands of the Archi• pelago, has given an extraordinary excitement to the fanaticism of the Turks, and the populace commit the most horrible excesses wherever they find un armed Christians. Even the Porte acts with a de• glee of inexorable cruelty, of which no parallel is. to be found in the Ottoman annals for centuries past.— Whole streets have been set fire to in Pera, and men,' women, and children murdered, or devoured by the flames. All the Christian Embassies have fortified their hotels to guard against attacks from furious and sanguinary Turkish mobs. PROCLAMATION OF THE KING'S CORO NATION. At half-past eleven o'clock this forenoon, the cere mony of proclaiming the KING'S Coronation com menced, in font of Westminster Hall. Sc, early as ten o'clock, Mr. MASH, from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and the principal Gentlemen from the Herald's Office, came in carriages to Westminster Hall, where they alighted, and made the necessary arrangements within the Hall for the ceremony. Shortly after, some splendidly caparisoned white horses were led up to the gate of the Hall, and as soon as a troop of Horse Guards arrived, the Gentlemen advanced from the Hall to Palace-yard, which was crowded with people, who seated themselves upon the scaffolding preparing outside .for the Coronation Procession. The Heralds and official Personages, in their rich uniforms, then mounted the horses provided for them, and, upon a signal given, the trumpets and kettle drums of the Horse Guards struck up a grand salute; and silence being proclaimed, all persons were re quired to be uncovered. The order was obeyed by all the official persons, and those in the crowd who were within hearing, and the Herald who was in front, mounted on a white charger, then read aloud the Proclamation, and when he concluded with the Prayer—" GOD save King GEORGE the Fourth," there were some shouts intermixed with cries of—" and the QUEEN too I" from the crowd around the Herald. The Procession then moved in the following order: Farriers of the Horse Grenadier Guards, with their axes erect. French-horns of rtie Troop. Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards. Two Knights Marshals' Officers. Knight Marshal and his Men. Household Drums. Kettle-drums and Trumpets. • Pursuivants. Herald. King at Arms, supported by two Serjeants, with their Maces. Mr. LEE, the High Constable of Westminster, and a large party of Constables, also attended the Pro cession as far as Temple-Bar. The Proclamation was not read, as was expected, at Charing-cross ; but the trumpets and kettle-drums sounded a flourish, and the Procession moved around the equestrian statue of King CHARLES. At ten minutes past twelve o'clock, they arrived at Temple Bar, where they had to wait about half an hour for the necessary permission of the Right Hon the LORD MAYOR, to enter the City. His Lordship arrived in his State carriage, which drew up at the' bottom of Chancery-lane, at one o'clock, and the usual form of demanding and granting permission being gone through, the Heralds advanced in front of his Lordship's carriage, and there a . second time read the Proclamation. It was hailed, as before, by the multitude, with mingled shouts of " Goa save the KING !" and " Gov save the QUEEN !" The Cavalcade, joined by the LORD MAYOR, then proceeded onwards into the City, where the Procla mation was repeated at the Exchange and other cut tomary places. This morning a number of workmen were em ployed in front of Poets Corner, constructing a covered way from that entrance into Westminster Abbey, across to the entrance of the House of Lords, prepared for her MAJESTY during the late trial. This platform is intended for Peeresses and others who will have the privilege of admission to the ceremony of the Coronation. They will first assemble in some of the apartments of the House of Lords, and then proceed by this passage to the Abbey, so that when the KING has been crowned, they will have an opportu nity of passing across to Westminster Hall, and taking the seats allotted to them, while the principal Proces sion, with his MAJESTY, is moving round upon the other platform to Westminster Hall gate. An order has been received in Dublin, to make a State bed for his MAJESTY, to put up in the Vice regal Lodge in the Phoenix Park. Last night his MAJESTY gave a Ball to the juvenile branches of the Nobility and Gentry. ' Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Du chess of CLARENCE went to visit the School for Ger man Children, attached to the German Lutheran Church in the Savoy. The Rev. Dr. KUPER and the Rev. Dr. STEINKOFF accompanied her Royal High ness, who remained in the School nearly two hours. Yesterday afternoon the Duchess of CLARENCE visited the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington, The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday. The maiden name of the late Countess of LIVER POOL, was THEODOSIA LOUISA, third daughter of FREDERICK AUGUSTUS HERVEY, fourth Earl of Bris tol and Bishop of Derry. Her Ladyship WAS married `in 1795, and has left no issue. THE ARMY. This morning two companies of the-rthoral Artillery, with their baggage, marcher) through town, au thee' route for Liver pool, where they are to embark for Dublin. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Hutt., JUNE I 2.—Thursday night, between the hours of eleven and twelve, the Thomas transport, JOHN Dvsa Muter, in at. tempting to enter the Member, struck on the Stoney Bioko, with a strong breeze at R. N.E. and the wind increasing, she eventually beat to pieces. She bad on board an Officer and twenty-six sol diers of the 20th Regiment, who were landed at five the peat morning by the life-boat, whose crew made exertions that do them the greatest credit, and deserve to be rewarded, fur all on board must have perished but for their assistance. The crew staid by the wreck till next day at noon, in the main rigging, when they also were brought ashore by th e lite-boat. So violent was the shock, that the viand almost immediately filled with water, and not a single article was saved except the clothes on their backs, either by the crew or thesoldlers, who are in a most deplorable condition. A sailor's wife going out to join her hus band, was unfortunately drowned.

Smith, from St. Lucia. The following is an extract of a letter received in Liverpool on Monday, from St.Jago de Chili, dated February 26, 1821 : a We have just received accounts from the army of General San Martin, that they have been obliged to fall back from befo e Linta to Hauocha, which will retard for a len g th of time the furl so generally expected here; in fact, a general gloom prevails here in consequence. The Osprey, a large vessel from Glasgow, has returned to Valparaiso from the coast of Peru, from whence she has returned without being able to dispose of a single paohage. " The immense quantities of goods arrived here from Lan don, Liverpool, Buenos Ayres, Rio de Janeiro, India and China, and the seven vessels you mention from Liverpool, will completely inundate this market, if Lima, or we should say, if Peru does not open. The Annum Acne frigate has not returned yet down the coast. The Viceroy of Per* would not allow her to enter the port: having Lady Coma-tut on board, was pre. awned to be the obstacle. 14 We are daily expecting vessels from the newly-discovered land to the south of Cape Horn, which left here to fish for seals Several of those who left here early are expected to have done well, and we hope will afford something for a return cargo, as bills there are none, and dollars will not be obtained until the opening of Peru, which seems now very uncertain." A letter, dated Switzerland, May the 2d, says, gg The trench Ambassador to the Confederation has made another attempt to resume the negociations of the Convention, respecting the settlement of French subjects in Switzerland, and of Swiss subjects in France. This attempt will probably fail, because by previous arrangement between the Cantons, &c. by the declarations of the presiding Canton, all the va rious points respecting which Switzerland has to make a Convention with France, are to be discussed at the same time; whereas the French Minister al ways wishes to commence negociations on separate points. Meantime the Cantons have been invited to dive instructions to their Deputies with respect to the esire of the French Ambassador: but it may be easily supposed that the Diet will repent the resolu tion taken in the last Session. It is, however, as serted that some Cantons intend to enter into separate Conventions respecting the settlement of the subjects of one State in the dominions of another, provided they can agree upon the basis of the Convention." DUEL.—A duel was fought at Norfolk (Virginia), on the 11th of May, between Lieutenant PERRY and Midshipman SAUNDERS, in which the former was dangerously wounded in the throat. They exchanged two shots. Ftnxs.--Fraday night, the Ist inst. a barn, with the thrashing and winnowing machines, and a straw-house and stable, the property of Mr. JOAN RUSSELL, of Low Heworth, Durham, were destroyed by fire. Saturday afternoon, an alarming fire broke out in the oil-warehouse of Messrs. ROTHERAY and Co. in Marsh lane, Hull. The whole of the extensive pre mises were destroyed, and it was with much diffi culty the flames were prevented from communicating to the surrounding houses. POPULATION RETURN& In 1821.
