We have received this forenocin New York Papers to the 11th ult. the contents of which are of more than usual interest and importance. The most prominent event is the conclusion of an Armistice between the Royalists and Indepen dents in Mexico, which may ..be regarded as a cer tain prelude to the separation of that valuable Pro vince from the mother country. YTURBID!, the Leader of the Revolutionists, assumes the title .of " The Imperial Army of the Three Guarantees."— What these are is thus explained in the Havannah Papers :—" The three guarantees are—l st, That the House of Bciurbon shall have the exclusive right of filling the Imperial Throne of New Spain. 2d, That there shall be perfect union between European and American Spaniards, who shall be equally entitled to fill all public offices. And, 3d, That the Eccle siastical establishment shall be again placid on the footing on which it stood in the year 1808, with all the rights and immunities it then enjoyed, without any reform or amelioration, and preserving the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition in full vigour. : A more complete explanation of the views of the Revolutionists will, however, be found in the scheme of empire contained among the extracts which we subjoin. Mexico is to be erected into an independent Empire, the Throne of which is to be offered to FER• DINAND of Spain; and in case of his declining it, to the other Princes of the House of Spain, in their due order of succession. The same Papers furnish a formidable list of pira cies among the West India Islands; for some of the more remarkable of which we refer our Readers to our Nautical Intelligence. It is a reproach to our Government that so many of the captures should be British vessels. The merchantmen of the United States have also been visited by these outlaws of the ocean. —They have a Government, however, which feels what is due to its own honour and to the rights of its subjects. A convoy, consisting of two ships of war, has been appointed to protect the American trade from the Chesapeake to the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico. We noticed, a few days since, the dispute between Governor Jackson of Florida; and the late Spanish Governor Callava. The National Inielltencer says, " In an account of that transaction, published in the Louisiana Advertiser, we find the following additional particulars, which, are wholly unnoticed in the state inent copied from the Floridian." It appears from this statement that Governor Jackson at Pensacola possesses the same character that General Jackson did at New Orleans. There the late Judge Hall is sued a Habeas Carps to take a man out of Jail ; but instead of having the usual effect of such papers, it threw his Honour into jail. And had not the rheuma tism very fortunately come to the relief ofJudge Fro mend% his Habeas Corpus would probably have placed him alongside of Callava, unless there were separate cells in the prison. TRI:O4 TU& NZW YORK ZITZNIZO roar. “ The documents, if surreptitiously withheld by the Commissioners could not fail to produce incalcu- fable mischief; and when we refer to the reluctant transfer of the territory by Spain ; the loose manner of transacting public business ; the management and chicanery of public agents, it is not a great stretch of imagination to suppose, that some object of gain and speculation was concealed in this refusal to surrender documents belonging to the ceded province. We are too familiar with Spanish affairs to have much doubt on this point. But as these documents were all Ge neral Jackson required, and which he may have been Warranted to seize upon, why arrest and imprison the Commissioner? This, we fear, cannot be ex- plained. That courtesy so indispensable in civilized communities; that respect due to the official cha racter of a public agent; the regard due to the justice and reputation of the United States, have been •iolated in this instance. " A formal demand should hare been nude for these documents, and if refused, measures should have been adopted to prevent their being sent out of the territory, but the person of the Li-Governor should have been held sacred. His public functions had ceased, but his private rights were in full force. Such proceedings are only known in despotic Governments. If, however, the imprisonment of Colonel Callava can be justified, what defence is to be made for the suspension of the wait of Habeas Corpus?.—an in fraction of the very palladium of our liberties—an act which General Jackson must be made to answer for by the Government, or his administration will be above all law and all restriction. Weforbear for the present tb.say any thing furrher on the subject. It will be examined by the compe tent Authorities. We can only observe, that every act of violence and abuse of power is injurious to the character, the feelings, and the true interests of a free people." By the subjoined Notice from the Navy Depart ment of the United States, it will be seen that the Government have not been backward in granting that protection to our West Indian commerce, which appears best calculated to secure the property of our merchants and others from the depredations of the many pirates which infest the neighbouring seas. The security with which commerce between the United States and the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico may be now prosecuted, will serve to reduce the rates of insurance, and in a considerable degree make up for the detention that may arise from wait ing for the sailing of the convoy. " Navy Department, Sept. 20, 1620. " Al vesseh bound to the West Indies and Gulf offrlexico, that shall rendezvous by thel3th day of October next, In lati tude 37 degrees N. and ten leagues eastof Cape Henry, off the Chesapeake Bay, may have the benefit of convoy of the United States' ship Hornet and brig Spark." Commodore Patterson, Naval Commander at New Orleans, on hearing of the piracies committed on the ship Orleans and brig Clarissa Ann, immediately transmitted orders to Lieutenant James Ramsay, of the schooner Porpoise, directing him to proceed l in pursuit of the piratical vessels. PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 6. Captain Norris, of the brig Ann, Gadsden, arrived at Baltimore on Wednesday evening last, in 33 Jays from Campeachy, informs, that a revolutionary move inent bad taken place there the evening previous to his sailing; it was headed by the Officers of the Royal army, for the purpose of erecting an Independent Government for that Province : they were opposed by the inhabitants, who wish to continue under the direction of the Cortes. Two of the principal Offi cers engaged in this attempt were imprisoned, and the citizens generally left under arms and called to duty. CHARLESTON, OCTOBER 6. The brig Catharine, Wellman, arrived here from Havannah, in five days, brings late accounts from Mexico. A cessation of hostilities had taken place. On the 11th of August Colonel Santana agreed to the proposition of the Viceroy, that the gates of Vera Cruz should be thrown open the next day; that the prisoners on both sides should be liberated, and the country people allowed to come in unarmed, but in no great numbers. A letter from St. Augustine, under the date of Sep tember 10, states, that " this place has been uncom monly sickly this summer, and a great many deaths have occurred both in town and country. On the River St. John, they have been remarkably sickly. Our Courts are not yet organized; and when they are, I do not know how they are to act ; for, by Ge neral Jackson's Proclamation, the Spanish laws are declared to be in force, and neither Magistrates nor Law)ers know what they are. Until Congress makes laws- to govern the territory, we shall be without any law." A letter from Curacoa, of the 16th of September, mentions, that " His Majesty' brig Mow', Captain De Quartcl, sailed from thence on the 12th, bound to Laguira, with a large quantity of specie on board; the same evening she had her main-mast struck by lightning, and lost overboard, which rendered the brig unmanageable during the gale, atnd she was ran on shore. The specie was saved, but the vessel is full of water." SCHEME, OF THE PROPOSED MEXICAN EMPIRE. Plan of the Government that is to be established provisionally for the purpose 61 securing our Holy Religion, and establishing the Independence of the Mexican Empire, under the title of the Administrative Junta of North America, proposed by Colonel Don Augustin de Yturbide, to his Excellency the Count del Venadito, Viceroy of New Spain : 1. The Religion of New Spain Is and shall be the Catholic Apostolic Roman Religion, without toleration of any other. 2. New Spain is independent of Old Spain, and of every other power even upon our own Continent. 5. Its Government shall be a limited Monarchy,conformably to the Constitution that may be adopted by the kingdom. 4. Its Emperor shall be Don Ferdinand the Vllth ; but, in case he shall not personally appear in Mexico within the time that the Cortes shall specify, In order to take the oath, the most Serene Infant Don Carlos, Don Francisco de Paula, the Arch duke Charles, or such other individual of the reigning family as Congress may think proper, shall be called in his place. 5. Until the Cates shall meet there shall be a Junta foe the purpose of bringing about such meeting. and tattling the plan to be executed in its full extent. 6. Said Junta, which shall be denominated Administrative, is to be composed of the Members named in the letter of his Fs ' eeliency the Viceroy, by which it shall be convened. 7. Until DWI Ferdinand the Seventh shall present himself In Mexico and take the oath, the Jonta shall govern in his Majesty's name, in virtue of the oath of fidelity which the nation has takes. Neeerthelese s the OSOCUliall of an the galas that be ma) gin pretioudi to bh taitog the oaths than be =Vended until then. 8. If Don Ferdinand the Seventh shall not condeacend to come to Mexico, the Junta er the Regency shall goyern in the name of the nation, until the Emperor who is to be crowned shall be fixed upon. 9. This Government shall be maintained by the Army of the three guarantees hereinafter mentioned. 10. The Cortes shall determine upon the continuation of the Junta, or substitution of a Regency, until the arrival of the per , son who is to be crowned. 11. The Cortes shall afterwards establish the Coostitudon of the Mexican Empire. _ _ 12. AU the inhabitants of New Spain, without any distinction of Europeans, Africans, or Indians, are Citizens of this Monar chy, and eligible to every office, according to their merit and ♦irtue. 13. The person and property of every Citizen shell be re , speeted, and protected by the Government. 14. The secular and regular Clergy" shall be preserved in an their rights and pre-eminencies. 15. The Junta shall take care that all the departments of the State remain without any alteration, and that all civil and mili tary Officers continue in their present situations ; those only shall be removed who may refuse to concur in the plan, substituting in their place such persons as may be most distingeished for vir tue and merit. Ifi. A protecting army shall be formed which shall be deno minated the army of the three guarantee; inasmuch as it takes under its protection in the first place the preservation of the Ca tholic Apostolic Roman Religion, using all methods in its power that there may be no mixture of any other sect, and that the ene mies that may threaten it may be timely attacked:—Secondly, Independence under the system alsovementioned :—Thirdly, the intimate union of Europeans and Americans and guarantees these fundamental bases of the felicity of New Spain, to the in fraction of which rather than consent, it shall sacrifice itself from the Commander-in-Chief to the last man. 17. The troops of the army shall observe the most exact dis cipline, to the very letter of the Ankles of War; and the Chiefs and Officers shall continue upon the footing on which they now are ; that is to say, in their respective stations with eligibility to the offices now vacant, and which may be vacated by such per sons as may be unwilling to serve, and with eligibility to such new offices as may be considered necessary or convenient. 18. The troops of the said army shall be considered as of the line. 19. The same privilege shall be enjoyed by those who shall en list without delay, and by those who having borne arms in sup port of the former system of independence shall immediately join the said army ; and the peasants who may enlist, shall be considered as troops of the National Militia; and they shall all be employed for the internal and external security of the king dom in such manner u the Corte► may direct. 20. The commissions shall be granted according to real merit as reported by the respective Commanding Officers, and in the name of the nation, provisionally. 21. Until the Cones shall otherwise direct, proceedings In criminal cases shall be agreeably to the Spanish Constitution. 22. In case of conspiracy against the independence, the cul prit shall be imprisoned until the Cones shaU determine upon the punishment of that greatest of all crimes, except those against the DIVINE MAJESTY. t:S. Such persons as may attempt to foment disunion, shall be watched, and reputed as conspirators against independence. 24. As the Coitus who are to be installed are to frame a Con stitution, it is necessary that the Deputies should receive powers sufficient for that purpose; and as it is also of much importance that the Electors should know that they are to be represented in the Congress of Mexico, and not in that of Madrid, the Junta shall prescribe just rules for the Election, and shall designate the time of it, and the time of the opening of the Congress; and as the Elections cannot now take place in March, the time shall be extended as muck as possible. CUBA. In consequence of the strong representations that were made at Havannah, and the other ports of Cuba, against the late Spanish Tariff, the Spanish Govern ment has exempted that island from its operation, and left the local Government free to make and establish commercial duties for themselves. Official informa tion of this important concession reached Havannah about the Ist of September. A Mail arrived this forenoon from Flanders, with Papers to the 30th alt. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, OCTOBER Si. It is certain that his Britannic Majesty, on his re turn from Hanover, will stop one or two days in this Capital. It is even said that our King and the Royal Family will come to Brussels to receive him. Lord Clancarty, the English Ambassador at our Court, has already arrived from the Hague to attend upon his Sovereign, and the necessary preparations are making in his hotel with all diligence. Our accounts from the frontiers of France state, that all the young men of the class of 1819, who are summoned to complete the cavalry and the chosen companies of the infantry, have just received, throughout France, orders to join the regiments in a very few days. A great number of them are already on their march for their respective destinations. On the other hand, some regiments or garrisons in the interior are on their way to the Pyrennees, for the purpose of reinforcing the immense Cordon which is established from the Ocean to the Mediterranean. If these measures are taken from apprehensions that the yellow fever may penetrate into France, it must be owned that they are excessive at this moment, since this contagious disorder generally disappears at the approach of winter. It is certain that in Spain some fears have been excited on this subject, which the liberal Journals take pleasure in exaggerating. The youngest daughter of the Countess de Sur villiers (Ex-Queen of Spain), who resides at Brussels, embarked nearly a fortnight ago on board a vessel for Philadelphia, where she is going to her father, Jo seph Bonaparte. She is accompanied by a governess and by Dr. Stokoe, who was dismissed the service for disobeying the orders of the Government of St. Helena. •OCTO3ER 28.
