Don Agustin de Iturbide, and the other Generals who have contributed to the success of the great and ex cellent enterprise, which has been accomplished. The great military virtues with which this army has e been directed in all its proceedings, and the disposi tion to lenity, concord, and tranquillity which it has every where manifested, even in the towns most diet" 4 posed to resist, will ever be the highest of the tri umphs which redound to its immortal glory, as they have *imply been the objects of the gratitude the public rejoicings with which the Mexican s teceived the Gen as their deliverer. The route for this purpose, which was that of the Carrera de S. Francisco y Marine, from the idle of the ancient Aconitula to the rilace, pro eeding blithe'Portal Coherence, Camas Consistorales, was, thtuu . .gleut its whole length, filled with the delighted multitlfte,. and adorned with tapestry, flags, and gt reamsni, Ault's' which arose, with distinguished tandem: 4 the allegorical trifltnphal arch ',repined i ts our city for the reception of the General sad his mphant suite. The General presented himself at the arch, where a &potation from the Ayuntamiento received him with the ceremonial of the civic key, ntich his Ex... cellency returned witli the embrace of union and cordiality. The deputation having joined in the General's trains, the procession proceeded, amidst the most energetic and expressive visas of the immense ipoillblation which filled thartreets, balconies, and TOUti of the houses, Hats forming the most animatedt! . and sublimesicture ever exhibited in the annuls pf Mexico. Millie Pape his Excellency was receikill by the provincial deputation and the constitutional Ayuntandento, who conducted him to the lower ex tremity of the principal staircase ; the whole of this part of the building, and al'o the court-yard, the corridors, and the outer square w crowded with Ile immense multitude, which scarcely left room for • the procession to stir a step, so anxious were the people to see and salute tlw t ir Deliverer, whom they Buried, as it were in the a, tuna they placed igni before his Excellent Q on Juan O'Donojou, who • conducted him to the h a ut reception of the ancient, Viceroys.

The troops then defiled before them in military order; the whole exceeded 14,000 men, and 1,200 officers. The people unceasingly cheered 'the troops, who proceeded with the General, accom- panied by the provincial deputation, the Ayuntu- =Lento, and the staff of the army, towards the Cathedral, amidst the rhea and peals which distill- , ' guished the patriotic rejoicings of the inhabitants. 4 The General vvua received at the principal gate of the Temple by the illustrious Archbishop, dressed 1 ,,. in pontificals, Ike. On his entrance, the Archbishop ti I , if,* Vl .e. .1 1.1.

An anthem of triumph was now chanted. An eloquent oration, delivered by Dr. Don Miguel Guridi y Alcocer , a member of the 1 provincial deputation, in which he recapitulated the most memorable of the events which have contri- buted to the liberty of the country, ilem.nistrating d the whole to have been done under the direction of e 'Divine Providence, by whom a hero bud been chosen for the work. A solemn Te De m was next performed by tilt 1 whole orchestra, the sublime harmony of which ex. . pandcd the hearts or the spectators in the great tTemple, which was illuminated and adorned. The Tr Deanwas followed by a salute of artillery au • I j peals of bells.

On the . connary, the principal provinces of this kingdom bare been examined, and all, uniform in their rejoicings, address expressive salutations to the Tn. guarantee Army, and vows of gratitude to Heaven. These de , ministrations give my heart an ineffable pleasure, and more than compensate the sufrerings and privations of the soldiers, who have always been active, steady, and courageous. You al ready know what it is to be free, and you arc on the point of knowing what is to be happy. The Junta will be installed. the Cortes assembled, and the taw, on which your felicity depends, will be sanctioned. I exhort you to torget the words of alarm, and threats lof extermination, and to pronounce only those of union and intimate friendship. Contribute by your knowledge to the grand code ; hut avoid satire and malignant slander,— Obedient to authority, you will complete, in concert with the sovereign Congress, the gland wink which you have commenced —and allow nie to cast a brisk behind me to oliserv, attentively the picture wine i Provitteitee has traced, anti which American wir• dom is about to till up.

The Parliamentary Commission which lately se in Dublin, means to recommend that the Union shall be carried into complete effect by the removal of the commercial restrictions between the two countrias now in three, and , equalising the duties. It considers the present machinery of the public offices in Ireland on a scale much too large and die proportioned to the revenue, and means to recom mend a great reduction in the number of clerks, the amount of salaries, and other means of economy and retrenchment.

If either of the great Powers of burtipe thought it practicable at the present day to buy * nation of 5 or 6,000,000 of souls, without their consent, what value is it probable they would set on the conveyance of Ferdinand and the Cortes ? The Pope's title is quite as good under present cir cunistatices, and might be had for a trifle: He once gave away this continent ; and us the revolutions of Mexico contend for his supremacy, and that of the inquisition, they would ptobably, sooner consent to a transfer *om him than toltsale by their old Sovereigns in Spain.

On the night of the Ist instant, the tower of Lelant church, Cornwall, was struck by lightning, which, after forcing two large pieces of stone out of the middle of the tower, entered dm bell-chamber, broke out the tour windows, and damaged the arches, ripping open the roof and leads in several places. The electric-fluid entered the Wary, de molished the windows, and cracked the wall ot the tower in several places; it then went into the gal lery. shattering the partition between that and the belfry, and breaking the glass in the gallery win dow ; then shaking a huge pillar, adjoining the gal lery , in a dreadful manner, from thence it made its way to the communion, removing the wainscot out of its place, and forcing two large pieces of stone 'from a pillar, which were bruised to atoms; the last appearance of its effects was on a pew below, one aide of which was shattered to pieces. A mail from the Bras& arrived on Sionday, with letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 24th of October. They are chiefly important in putting a negative on the statement which has been recently circulated here, that a conspiracy exited to separate - the pro vince from Portugal, and to place the Prince Re gent at the head of the government. On the 12th of October, the birth day of the Prince, and which had been mimed as the day when the design was to be put in execution, passed over without any move ment that could indicate its having existed.
