FROM VERA CRUZ.—By the Schooner Fly, arrived on Monday evening from Vera Cruz, we received the Diario of the 30th November, in which we find an Address from a Council of Go vernment, calling themselves the Junta Nacional I nstituyente, to the Mexican Nation. We infer from its contents that the refractory Congress has been dissolvedby an Imperial Decree, and that after their dissolution,thisCouncil,composed of the mem bFrs of Congress, favourable to the interest of liur bide, had been convoked, and were exercising the Legislative Power under his direction. in this Address they speak of their efforts to intro duce a system into the Government in the dif ferent Departments of Finance, Justice, and War, mut of their labours in forming the project of a Constitution, which is to be submitted to the Representatives of the Nation, who are shortly to be called together. The Address is dated at Mexico, Nov. 13, 1822. A later from Mr. Toplift, dated Lima, Sept. 8 ) mentions that Gen.
