Mexico, OCT. 1.-011 Thursday the 27th ult., the inhabitants of this capital had the infinite satis faction of receiving the Liberating Army of the Three Guarantees, with its worthy commander, Don Agustin de Iturbide, and the other Generals who have Ls:attributed to the success of the great and ex cellent enterprise which has been accomplished. The great military virtues with which this army has been directed in all its proceedings, and the disposfi tints to lenity, concord, and tranquillity which it has every where manifested, even in the towns most dis posed to resist, will ever be the highest of the tri umphs which redound to its immortal glory, as they have already been the objects of the gratitude and of' the public rejoicings with which the Mexicans have received the General as their deliverer. The route thr this purpose, which was that of the Carreru de S. Francisco y Platiros, from the point of the ancient Acordada to the Palace, proceeding by the Portal Caburellos y Cassas Consistorales, was, throughout its whole length, filled with the delighted multitude, and adorned with tapestry, flags, and streamers, amidst which arose, with distinguished grandest; the allegorical triumphal arch prepared by our city for the reception of the General and his triumphant suite, The General presented himself at the arch, where a deputation from the Ayuntatniento received him with the ceremonial of' the civic key, which his Ex• .ecliency returned with the embrace of union and cordiality. The deputation having joined in the General's train, the procession proceeded, amidst the most energetic and expressive vivas of the immense population which filled the streets, balconies, and roofs of the houses, thus forming the most animated and sublime picture ever exhibited in the annals of Mexico. At the Palace his Excellency was received by the provincial deputation and the constitutional Aytintamiento, who conducted him to the lower ex tremity of the principal staircase ; the whole of this part of the building, and also the court-yard, the corridors, and the outer square were crowded with an - immense multitude, which scarcely left room for the procession to stir a step, so anxious were the people to see and salute their Deliverer, whom they carried, as it were in the air, until they placed him before his Excellency Don Juan O'Donojou, who conducted him to the hall of reception of the ancient Viceroys. Their Excellencies immediately appeared in the principal balconies, accompanied by the corporations and nubility. The troops then defiled lichee them ia 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 Ayunta miento, awl the stall' of the army, towards the Cathedral, amidst the rimy and peals which distin guished the patriotic rejoicings of the inhabitants. The General was received at the principal gate of the Temple by the illustrious Archbishop, dressed io pontificals, &c. On his entrance, the Archbishop presented to him the Santo Lignum (Holy Wood). witich he adored on his knees, on a cushion piepar,:d for that purpose; then, requesting that the Lumpy might be removed, he pruceeded on the ri;;lit of the Archbishop to place hiniscli in the scat desiined thr the Viceroys. An anthem of triumph was now chanted. An chapient oration, delivered by Dr. Don Miguel Guritli y Aleoeer, a member of the provincial deputation, in which he recapitulated the most memorable of the cv.nits which have contri buted to the liberty of the country, demonstrating the whole to hove been done under the direction of Divine Providence, by whom a hero bad been chosen for the work. A . solemn 74. Dam was next performed by the orcliei , t4o, the sublime harmony of which ex pandtd the hearts of the spectators in the great Temple, which was illuminated and udorucd. The I e Dcum was followed by a salute of artillery and Pettis of bells. The urocession then returned in the Mille order to the Palace, where a inlguiiicent diu uer Was served up, which had been prepared by the Ayuntutniento, and of which more than 600 guests partook. - - The toasts which were given, and the verses %Lich were recited by aittvcria individuals, served to complete the public rejoicing, and to ratify the union DECEMBER Spaniards SUNDAY. of European and Americah . in their glo- rious independence of the three guarantees, and in the establishment of the empire. Don Agustin de Iturbide confirmed these interesting sentiments by his toast and speeches, which were repeated in con currence with him by Don Juan o . Donoju, as re presentative of the.Spunish Government. Jn the evening a magnificent collation was served after which their ExceHowie. proceeded to the theatre, where a suitable st*etle teas given. rho audience cheered his Excellency the General in Chief, shouting—E•Father! Deliverer!" and other endearing titles dictated by their enthusiastic sets* merits of gratitude and affection on account of a day so glorious and memorable, in the history of those human. vent* which most particularly claim the at tention,of politicians and philosophers.

An article not worth extracting front the - Pena. cola Floridian, says that Great Britain and Russia are in treaty with the king of Spain for the put.• chase of the kingdom of Mexico, and that the former power had offered 15,000,0001. sterling. Whether' . the,purchatte is to be made in co-partnerships, or the powers are bidding against each other, we are not infiirmed, although we are told that the deputies of New Spain had protested against the measure, and had transmitted the intelligence to Vera Crus We only notice this foolish story to express our sur prise that it should be thought deserving of cut- • rcncy. If either of the great .Powers of Europe . thought it practicable at the present day to buy a 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 Canes The Pope's title is quite as good under preset or. cumstances, and might be had for a trifle.

The Crown Prince of Persia, who made himself quite independent of the &hah. his father, is recognized as Sovereign of the finest and richest half of Persia, commands a considerable part of the Persian army, and is, as it is believed, provided, with respect to his conquests, with all Ate guaranL2es that can be desice.l. By these operations of the Persians, all Asiatic caravans are :t.tercepted in their way to Constantinople, which must have a ' great influence both on the proviskaning• of the ea tal, a ul on the revenue of the state. The extensive Asiatic plains are preAsely calculated tin. the Persian Prince display the whole strength of his excaent cavalry, and enable hint to destroy, in a few act i.ms, those swarms of infantry, composed of peasantry an • artisans, hastily colleted. It is thought that new movements of the AI ehabites are relied upon, that the Porte-finds itself uttaeked on. all sides.— It is supposed that the English are muck alarmed fur their northern Indian provinces. ,• ~ 23, 1821.
