, , - .. 410 , 406 -- MEXICO. By way of Charleston advice% hare been received from Havannah to the 29th of October, which fur nish the latest intelligence of the state of Mexico. Addresses had been presented to the Emperor Itur bide from various public bodies and districts of New Spain, complaining in loud terms of the oppressions experienced by the people under his government, and upbraiding him with having violated his oaths made in presence of the Congseas. Their tenour may be sufficiently collected from the following re quisi t ions to Iturbide, which appear in the address from the province of Santander. They beseech his 111 ajesty I . To he pleased to order the immediate release , f the deputies to Congress !wrested on the 2tith of August. and all those subsequent to that date. " 2, That Congress meet at a place of their selecting, and where they may deliberate wiih absolute freedom. " 3. That the ivesent Ministry be deposed, and punished arcurding to law. •' 4. That all military tribunals of public safety be ex tinguished and suppressed, wherever they are already esta blished. '• S. That e•ery individual in Mexico and the provinces, imprisoned on suspicion, and in consequence of the circular of the First Secretary of State, dsted on the 221 b of the said month of At4, , ust, be liberated ; those who may be convicted of any crime to be tried according to law, and by the compe tent tribunals ; and, lastly, that the fundamental laws adopted for the time :wring be observed." Some measures loaf at length been adopted at Vera Cruz fiver gaining possession of the castle of St. Juan de [Aim , for which purpose proposals, of which the following is the substance, had been made to Davila, the commander of the fortress, by the Council of Vera Cruz :—That as he did not possess powers from the Spanish Government, authorising him to surrender that fortress, that he should never. thcless abstain from hostilities, and preserve the peace and harmony which ought naturally to subsist between the two countries. They assure him in this event, that Spaniards coming to settle in Mexico, from the moment of their arrival, should enjoyall the privileges and advantages of citizens, without being subjected to the time, &c., prescribed by law for other tiireigners. Spanish merchant vessels to have ceriain exclusive privileges allowed them.— That in the mean time no hostilities should be under taken on either side but that the fortress and the city should continue the relations of amity. It was also stipulated, that the Governor of \'era Crus, should pay the expenses of the garrison while this state of things continued ; it being understood that the Commandant should obtain from interfering with or exacting duties from all vessels entering the Bay, including those of Spain. Spanish men of war to be under the immediate controul of the Corn tuandant of the fortress. Vessels belonging to the empire of Mexico to be allowed to enter the port freely with their colours flying, and while in port to be subject to the control of their own government only. No change of commanders or introduction of troops into the fortress to be allowed during the continuance of this armistice. These proposals were carried to the castle on the Ilth of October, by a deputation from the Council of Vera Cruz, and it was asserted that Davilla had required three days to consider them. In the mean time great preparations were making to attack the castle, in the event of their not coming to terms; and five regiments had been ordered down fur that , purpose.

ITALY.—The clergy at Rome consists of' 19 careinals, 27 bishops, 1,450 priests, 1,432 monks, 1,464 nuns, and 332 seminarists. The population of Rome, with the exception of the Jews, consisted in 1821 of 14(3,000 souls. The births during that year were 4,756; the deaths 5,415; and the mar• riages 1,205. It is said to be the intention of Government to propose in the next Session of Parliament, a tax upon property, but not a tax upon income arising from professions or trades. It is likewise said, that the old 4 per cents. arc to be paid off in the 31 per cent stock ; but this rumour is not credited in the city. 111111 T AT THE DUSLINT THEATRE..OII Saturday night, the Marquis Wellesley went in state to the play. It is necessary to remark, that the liberal Government of his Excellency, in endeavouring to put an end to partylacrimony, and to restore harmony among all classes in Ireland, has rendered bin, par ticularly obnoxions to the Orange Faction. Mien he entered the Vice-regal box on Saturday night, he was received in a manner the most flattering by the respectable part of the audience; but their cheers were soon drowned by the shouts and hisses of a number of vulgar fellows in the gallery, be longing to the Orange Faction, so notorious 14 its insolence, ignorance, and audacity. These fellows during the play, anroyed the audience by continu ally hissing the Viceroy, cheering Alderman Darley, and tittering coarse vulgar execrations against the Lord Mayor, who is a man of liberal sentiments, and a gentleman. At times they called out for party tunes, such as " The Protestant Boys," and the " 134que Water," while the Roman Catholics, roused by such provocations, were equally clamo rous for " Garryowen," and " Patrick's Day." Duri-g this tumnituous and disgraceful scene, the Lord Lieutenant sat unaffected and unmoved by the malicious insults of the Orange Party, when to wards the close of the play a ruffian flung a bottle from the upper gallery, which struck one of the pannels of the box, but fortunately without doing :my mischief to the Noble Marquis, who by the atrocious act might have lost his life. The guards were then ordered into the gallery, and several of the rioters were taken into custody. At the meeting of the West of England Agricul tural Society on Thursday last, in its Rooms, at Bath, the Marquis of Lansdown in the chair, a very important discussion took plaze, arising out of the Report of one of the Commatees, which represented the state of the agriculturists to be utterly hopeless, without an immediate change of circumstances. To this an amendment was moved by Mr. Fade, of Bagwell, and most ably seconded by the Hon. and Rev. lr. Lygon, of Worcestershire, and supported by Sir John C. Ilippisley, who mike with a vigour, acuteness, and effect, which, when the Hon. Bart. declared his age to be 77, excited great applause.— The speakers maintained that the state of the agri culturists was bad, but not such as to excite despair; that the country was improving, and would im prove; and that any statements from such respecta ble a body as there assembled, which would tend to unnerve Englishmen, and paralyze honourable exer tion, must do harm. Sit T. Lethbridge, Mr. Elwin, and other gentlemen, most energetically pressed the reception of the report, inaintaiiiiiig that every sylla ble of the statements of distress was true, and that the truth ought boldly to be given out to the world. The amendment was subsequently withdrawn, and the repot t received and confirmed. LONOLVITY.--In the course of this year seven persons have died in the poor-house of Lynn, in Norfolk, who►e united ages amount to 691 years. 73 r 7 7 -Th.

The momentary quiet that reigns in the political hemisphere at the present moment, may be well compared with that which pervades the natural one before any great convulsion. The answer from Madrid to the demands of France has not yet been received, but the anticipation that war must take place is proved by the slow, but persevering decline of all sorts of Stock, whether English or Foreign— it is certain that a declaration of war between France and Spain, or a commencement of hostilities would drive down our Consul: from 6 to 8 per cent, from the great probability that England would be em broiled in the difl'erence by some means or other— and the reduction from 113 to 80i which has taken place, almost imperceptibly chews the opinion of Capel-court. The intolerant Orange party in Ireland have, we hope, overshot their mark—by the outrageousness of their conduct towards the present Viceroy, at the Theatre, they have shewn to the moderate Protestants that to exterminate or enslave the Ca tholic population is the end they have in view—and thus all the respectable, rational part of the Pro testants have been detached from these blood-thirsty Orangemen. We are at a loss to suppose how these ruffians can reconcile their assumption of exclusive LOYALTY, with so decided an opposition to the be nignant and conciliatory wishes and commands ex pressed by his Nlajesty on his late visit to " the 1 , Emerald Isle.' Extract from the Sierra I cone Gazette of the 2d June, 18`22:—" By his Britannic Majesty's chip Myrmidon, on Monday last, we received the dis treming information of the loss of one of the Spa nish prizes, the le.man, of Hay. - .nnah, taken in the Bonny, on board of which, melancholy to relate, nearly 'bur hundred slaves, and sixteen seamen of the Iphigenia, perished ! The officers in charge, Messrs. Betty and Doughty, are unhappily among the number of the sufferers. At the time this dreadful catastrophe occurred, the Yeoman was in sight of the Myrmidon—and from the violence of the tornado in which she was upset, any assistance was totally impossible; indeed, we understand the first intimation Captain Leeke had of the fact, was from the boat of the Yeoman, which he picked up four days afterwards.at sea, with seven seamen, who had miraculously saved themselves from the wreck. When the examination which is now being taken by the Commodore, is completed, we shall have the painful duty of publishing further particu lars respecting this truly heart-rending event." The Marquis Camden has paid over to the Con solidated Fund the sum of 9,0711. 13s. 5d., being the amount of fees which his Lordship bad relin quished as Teller of the Exchequer for 1522. A Frankfurt Paper states, that some English spe culators have sent an agent to Greece, to negotiate a loan of 200,0001, sterling with the insurgent Chiefs.
