(From the Constitutionnel, Sept. 10.) Auci.l9.-- 4 :This city has given u►s a proof of what those may expect who should tend to trouble the public tranquillity in any manner. During the first days of this month 180 mule-loads of cotton snd tobacco bales had been seized from the smugglers of' Taha and tlarchena, and it was understood that they intend ed to get them back again by force. At the same time it was reported that some Spanish revolutionists, who had fled to Gibraltar, had prepared some vessel!, arms, ammuniiion and other necessaries, to introduce disordir on several points Of the coast. • r inshort, they Were perceived on the morning of the 13th, on the waters of Almeira, making signalA with tunes, to which other fusees discharged from the city replied ;_ but , the Gover. nor, who was on the watch as well as the faithful ItOyalists and the people, prepared to advance, and more particularly Soler', the (Captain of .Artillery, who had put into condition the only two batteries that pointed towards the sea, ,and who trusted the care of them to some courageous peasants, who would rather die than yield them. The Royalist Volunteers, the Pensioners, and the Invalids, had wisely distributed themselves to cover. the most important pointit; arid an arrest was immediately made of 3d persons, who, it was suspected, had intelligence with the malefactors. • On the morning of the 14th the wisdom of these measures became manifest, the ships having made their attack on the 13th, and being repulsed by the batteries with great loss, caused by their fire, which lasted without interruption from three till six in the morning. It Was soon learned that some insurgents had effected a landing on the coast, and that all the smug. glers of 'Yalta and Alarchena, in a considerable body, had descended to unite with them, and to march immediately for the town ; hut the Royalists, including the women sit AI. reerin aid of the villages of Gatlor, Moja, Pechina, and Ta bernas, met them, arid repulsed them with the saute vigour as theY repulsed the Algennesi , the , other day, and forced the suiegllers to abandon, their project .of assisting the. insurgents. Pew of these latter were saved ; some were left on the held of battle, and the others, to the number of 30, have been taken, mut wait in the dungeons that punishment width is due to their temerity. On our side we have had some men wounded, and a female killed. Among them adventurers were people of all sorts, officers wh3 have been Spaniards, and ninny strangers. Their leader was named IgMies. The frigate the Pearl, which has arrived from Cart"agena, is to pursue these pirates. His Majesty lots nominated Viscount Digeon Grand Croes of the Order of Charles lII. (Aladrid Guyette.) The Moulteur published•to.day the Conventions, by which it: is arranged 45.000 men of the b'rench army are to remain in Spain ; the first is of the 9th Febr uar y, a nd the second of 30th June, 1124. The folloating are the preamble and principal dis positions of the first : " His Catholic Majesty the King of Spain and the Indies having judged it necessary to demand of His Most Christian Majesty the King of France and of Navarre, that a portion of the French army should still remain in Spain, in order to insure the tranquillity übd well-being of his states, to give him time to recompose his army on the basis of order and dis cipline, and to consolidate his Government in such a manner, that he may keep down the seditious and factious that are endeavouring to disturb his tranquillity; " And His Most Christian Majesty having at heart to prove to His Catholic Majesty the tender affection that he bears to wards him, anti the interest he takes in the prosperity of Spain, and desirous of contributing all in his power towards establish ing the Spanish Monarchy; " ` Their Majesties have determined to make choice of Pleni potentiaries to discuss and sign a Convention which may fulfil tkobject of their mutual concern. " In consequence they have named ne follows : " His Most Christian Majesty the Sieur Louis Justin Marie, Marquess de 'l'alaru, Peer of France Marshal of his Camp and Army, Knight of the Royel and Military Order of St. LOWS, and of the Noble Order of Tolson d'Or, his Ambassador to if is Catholic Majesty : " Ills Catholic Mtuesty Don Narcissus de Ileredia Begincs de los RC% Count of Walla, Knight-Grand Cross of the American Order of Isab e ll a -l a -C a th o liqua, Numerary of the Royal and distinguished Order of Charles 111., Counsellor of State, Superintendent-General of the Couriers end Post offices of Spain and the Indies; " Who, sinned with their full powers, have agreed to the following stipulations " R. It. H. the Duke d'Angouleme, Generalissimo of the French Army, shall leave in hpain an armed force of 45,000 men, who shall remain there tilt the Ist of July, 1024. " This body shall be under the orders of his General Cotn mandor-in.Chief, who shall communicate with the Government of His Catholic Majesty, of which the Quarter-Master-General shall be established in Madrid or its environs. The troops which compose it shall only recognize the orders sent thorn by their Generals and Offic ers , except w h ere i t sha l l be other wise ordained by special instructions with respect to detach.- ments combined with the Spanish troops. " Unless ordered otherwise by the Commander-in-Chief, the French troops remaining in Spain shall constantly supply the garrisons of the following cities and places : " Cadiz, the Isle of Leon and its dependencies; Burgos, Mende del Duero, liadajoz, Corunna, Samna, Bilboa, St. Sebastian, Vitt or i a , Tolosa, Pamplona, S t .

" 'VW: military command of each of these towns and Ow s • shall belong to the French Officer provided with letters of soar. vice there to command. lie shall be invested, as regards the :11ilitary Police, with the, same powers which are given to Spanish Governors., " Ills Most Christian Majesty taking into consideration the misfortunes suffered by Spain, undertakes to provide for .the ordinary expellees of the pay, subsistence, equipment, and entertainment of the troop s . The. Spanish Government will only engage to pay the difference of the condition of peace and the condition of war, which is definitively fixed for the French Army remaining in Spain at the sum of two millions of francs per month, which shall be reckoned from the Ist of December s 1023, and due on the last day of each month. " His Catholic Majesty will provide, according to the rule annexed to the present Convention, for the Establishment of the Troops in Garrison, Barracks, Magazines, Hospital Ma. terials, Transports, Military Storehouses, Preparmions fur. Siege in any Place, Repairs, and other acknowledged neces. sarles. " The materials of dress and equipment, provisions, awd other necessaries for the consumption or use of the French Army, shall enter anti circulate 'through Spain fr'ec of all duty. But to prevent abuses which may do harm to the maintenance of the Custom Duties, it is agreed that those articles are not to be introdticed unless furnished with authentic certificates, stating whence they conic an d t h e ir d est i nat i on , and conform ing to all Ittilea.that shall.be established with this view. The military and.those connected with the army, who shall rejoin their body, Or quit Spain, shall be exempt from all pay ment of duties for' articles wanted for their own use. " All letters of service of the French army, which shall be countersigned, shall be received at.the usual post-offices, and sent post-free. " As his ! Moat Christian Majesty only leaves the troops in Spain at the request at his Catholic Majesty, it is fit that, not withstanding the fixing of the terms, as in the first article, these troopit shall be recalled as soon us the King of Spain altaii.desire it, not considering their presence any longer requi. site: On his p ar t t b e. .Ki n g of France reserves for himself the right to witiidraw them before that period, if any un f oreseen Circumstance should mak e hint judge It necessary.

According to Second Convention, th e hotly of the Fr en ch army actually in Spain will remain there till the lit or . .. January, 11125, under the reserve* already stipulated. A division of this body will he cautoned at Madrid and its neighbourhood, to maintain conjointly with the troops of his Catholic Majesty order and :tranquillity in the capital. 'The Quarter-Master- General of the army may, be transferred wherever the General in Chief may think, fit. Besides the places 'mentioned' in the 2d Article of the Con vention of the:lilt:February, the French will furnish,the garri. sons of Surragoasa, Mid Cordova. Within two months after the ratification of the present Convention, all the exPences shill be liq u id a ted an d regu . which, according to the terms of the Convention of 9th February, and the regulation thereto annexed, were at tbe charge of Spain, and tbr which France has been in advance since lit December, In 3; fur services which are to be at the expense of the Spanish , GoVernment, but have not been paid by it. By the Notice of the Minister of Finance, of 34 September, M. Le Baron de'llirios-Guran, Mayor of Ouran (Haute-Ga. ronne) is nominated Director of the Tobacco Impost at Valenciennes. Circulars ha ve been issued, it is said, from the Board of 'faxes, directing surveyors to complete the survey of their ruspeetive districts, where such survey was not completed last year, so as to. ascertain how far the duties on houses and windows are properly charged in the assessments for the pre sent year, •and to make further charges for any deficient punt ber of windows ; but not to make any increased charges to the inhabitated house duty, except in the cases of new houses which may not have been in charge before the present year. STATE OF MEXICO. We have received a file - of - the Mexican paper called El Sul, from the beginning* . of June to the Bth of July, and though they contain nothing that can be properly styled events beyond what has nut already appeared in our columns, they still possess considerable interest to those who desire to-be come more intimately acquainted with the state of Metrico than a detached proclamation, or the narrative of an isolated fact, can make them. From a series of journals embracing articles on almost every topic of a publie nature-:-debates in congress— dispatches from civil and military officers in the provinces— occurrences, civil, .military and political, in th e capital—ones. dotes of character—letters from correspondents—and "other things too tedious to be enumerated, we learn a great deal more than we could do from a Tingle piece of news, however de cisive or characteristic. Such n source of information has some thing like the veriety of general life ; and while it supplies to a considerable extent the want of an actual inspection of a country, enables us to correct mistakes by comparing reports with results, and lays the foundation of more sure and accurate knowledge than coal be obtained from a selection of official documents or interesting occurrences. We may therefore be excused for lay ing before our readers a few observations suggested by a peru sal of these papers ;. engaging that whatever pi c tu re they pre sent of the state of the new Republic, they are faithfully and impartially drawn front the materials supplied by its own writers.—( Timm ) POLITICAL STATE. It is well known that the vast country, which was two years ago the empire, and which. is now the federal Republic of Alexico is composed of the provinces, which, under the Spa nish .colonial system, composed the Viceroyalty of New Spain. These provinces, formerly called. Intenilencies, are now, for the most part, erected into Independent States. Each of these states has its Congress of Deputies—ita Governor or Political Chief—its local tuxes—its military force, and its military com mander; and they are all connected by a federal union with a general or national Congress and general Executive. These separate States, like those of North America, are of very un equal importance, power, and resources, some of them rivalling in extent, if not in population. considerable kingdoms of the Old World. The provinces of Guadulaxara and Guanaxata, from the greatness of their population and the richness of their mines, consider themselves on a level with that in which the capital is situated. It is almost needless to mention, that before the commencement of the Peninsular war, all the dozen of pro vinces or inteadencies into which this great country, inhabited by seven millions of people, was divided, were subject to the _woe colonial bondage ; and that from 1810 to 1020, they were all harassed by the same fectious divisions and intestine guar rels. In the summer of the latter year, the country was finally (lettered independent of Spain, end united under Tturbiac, who was *vial Emperor. The power which this man aceuired, for some time exercised, he could not maintain ogattilit public distrust, and the conflict claims of rival chiefs. lint before he left the Mexican territory in the beginning of .1023, he had made himself friends among a considerable number : Of' bflieeiee of the armyeand created is considerable prejudke in ilia faveur . in one or two of the provinces. The general Congress and National Executive, with succeeded to the separate portions of his divided sway, soon felt the influence of this recollection", ageprating the natural causes of disunion which butt their origin in the rival pretensions or separate interests 'of the dire ferent states The rich and populous province or; suite of Gua dalexara, where a l oca l Insurrection has lately been. sub duet! by the arms of the general Government, has, ever since the uhtlication of Iturbidee been the scene of plots and mashie nations of his friends. From a report on the state of the country, read to Congress on the 11th of June, by the Minister of %Vine it appears that for more than a year the Governor of that state Quintunar, and the Military Co mmander, Busto• mente, IQ been lomentieg jealousies against the supreme Government, favouring schemes. of independence, promoting the views and countenuncing the friends of the Ex-Emperor. The Governor especially hail left little doubt on his intentions respecting Iturbide, and none at all respecting his hostility to the federal union. lie had promoted to command, Garcia,* a relative and partisan of the lax-Emperor, against the wishes, and even after the interference of the general Government ; and he had placed in the ranks of the provincial army rt German , Baron, of the name of Rosemberg, who had supported liar. bide to the last and was commanded to leave the Mexican dominions after his patron's abdication. Cries of " Long live the Emperor !" had been heard in thecapitalot diet provincenind were rather encouraged than suppressed or punished by tile local' Governmer t. This conduct betrayed evident sytnptonis at up. poaching rebellion, and the Federal Executive could neither be ignorant of the danger nor delay the necessary measures to avert ite —Accordingly, about the time that Iturbide was leavitiohe shores of I.Mgland, an expedition was prepared in MexicO, iles• tined to crush his hopes of success an the province where hie friends most abounded. The Governor and Military nein mender of the Styte of GuadalaPra (9r, according to the new nomenclature, Jalisco) endeavoured to • ratty their provincial forces against Gen. Bravo, at the head of a federal army, but were deserted by their partisans, and are now prisoners of war, lesstarp e r is, udent and more adventumfie friends of the ex- Emperor, tlie per or, ; hope of the insurriete°63oentisib—efiga'vealfidalleanfel t traitors.

General Bravo, one of its members, had taken the command of the anny des tined to combat the enemies of the Union in Guadalaxara ; and General Victoria, another of them, had arrived on the I tith of June at the capital, where he was received with testimonies of general satisfaction, both from the Legislative Body and the inhabitants'. and resumed the fuoctions of EN office as a Mem ber of the Executive Government. The two instigators of' dis affection in Guadalaxera were ty be tried by the laws of the country for disobedience of orders; and the conspirators con victed of sprevious plot had been sent off' to. the coast on the lath of June, 'that they might be deported from the Mexican territory in 'an English ship which awaited them. Several of the reports ire:minted to the ExeCutive by the governors of the different peovinces are published in the file Of papers before Mt, and manifest the best spirit in'the writers while they give the most satisfactory account of their charge. The Consti tuent Congress sitting in Mexico pursues its labours with great perseverance, and diseusse's the eariotie subjects brought before it with great temperance.; The journal before tts furnishes every day a portion of its proceedings, and gives the names of the member* who votelor or against on important questions. It cannot be supposed that the tnhabitante of this vast republic, spread as they are over so.immense a space, and composed as they are of so many different races and casts—often with hostile feeling and jaring interests—without the possession of that po litical knowledge which gives to political vigilance all its value, and leads to the formation of public opinion as a check upon power—without experience in public business, or the habit of exercising political rights—and without those intimate social relations or rapid maansof.coummuic4ien which enable a great community to act in concert-=it Cannot be supposed, •we say, that such is people are prepared for appreciating or, maintaining free institutions like their republican brethren of the northe —lndeed, the rapid changes from a colony to an empire, and from an empire to a fedell republic which we have witnessed within the last four yeas, are sufficient indications that the great body of the people have either been passive instrument of authority, or have acted on no fixed pririciples of esoliey.— That the constitution •• of a federal republic, composed of a nu merous body or subordttrate but independent states, each jealous of the other, and all from encroachments from the- general Government, seemes'a machine too 'delicate and complicated for the people of Mexico; may he allowed, but as yet we see no., symptoms of decay or dissolution. The only serious danger to which it was Immediately exposed has been dissipated.— The Government and Congress of each state seems to be con. ducting themselv es with great prudence and modentEion ; and itbove all, the General or Federal .ConeeeSs displays 'great temper, justice, and g o o d sense . In discussions on the !bar.. cial Situati on of the country, is proposition was favourably en. tertnined to pay the debt contracted on account of Mexico when it carts n Spanish colony. Would the legitimate Ferdinand have conceived such magnanimity ? But whatever may be thought of the stability of the . present system of sway for Mexico.. there can be no apprehension that it will ever again be brought under the Spanish colonial yoke. We See in the papers before us indications of 'considerable differences •of opinion respeetin gt e e ki n d of government best adapted to dint country ; but no men dares propose that of Ferdinand Vii. Indeed, the epithet Bathnieta:, dr friend* of the Bourbons, is so odious, that when one party or one individual gets' angry' with an oppon ent , t h ey have recourse to i t as their uner.: ring means of provocation and insult. The . following account eif the -st ate o f ' t h e cast l e o f St. John de•Ullof t shows the amount of !force which still holds out for Ferdinand in the immense territory of Mexico:-..' At the end of May sonic prisoners escaped from that fortress, and relates! that the garrison there consisted of 100 infantry, and 201 lery men, and GO miners. They had had 185 men sick hi hos pital, and the mortality was spreading, —but was stopped by the arrival of a vessel with fresh provisions." POLICE, 1(01111ERI, &C. , These papers afford a very unfavourable view of the internal order of the Republic. From the long continuance of civil dissen sions, and the predatory habits acquired by the different bodies of insurgents, robberies are common on the highways, and tray yelling very insecure at the lea§t distance from the capital. The high road between Santa Cruz and Mexico is particularly in fested. It will be recollected, that the American Consul was pillaged of his baggage in this -route ; and we observe in the paper of July 2, that Gomez, the celebrated free-hooter, has committed another robbery on one of our countrymen. It would appear that Mr. O'Gorman, the brother of the English Consul, was employed to convoy a quantity of quicksilver from the coast to the interior, and that he was released from his com mission earlier than he expected, by this Vincente Gomez. The same gentleman O'Gorman, is stated by the Journal to have been employed in negociating the last Mexican loan for the contractors in London; and the Journalist adds, with great naivete, " Is it not a disgrace that an assa ss i n lik e Vin cente should compromis e th e cre di t of a whole nation ?" Even the best Mexican patriots, like the best Irish ones, are com pelled to admit the general existence of these disorders. A writer in the -Sol, ascribes the difference of public credit be tween Colombia and Mexico, to the insecurity of property in the latter republic. ht ISC ELLA N F.O U S. It has been objected to the revolutionists of Europe, that when they throw off their respect for the throne, they lose like wise their reverence for the altar. Such a reproach cannot be addressed to the Republicans of Mexico. They are still as su perstitions and bigotted Catholics as the most legitimate poten tate would wish to make them. We find, for instance, in the paper or'July - 4, that there had been solemn rejoicings tin . three days for the elevation of the present Pope to the chair of Saint Peter. All the 'Authorities and Corporations; vent in proces sion the first.day to the Cathedral, which was brilliantly illumi nated. biulvos of artillery announced the great event, and in the evening there were' general illuiirinations. " Thus,", adds the journalist; " Mexico manifested her religious feeling& and re aspect fur the head of the Church." N 9 such rejoicings took Elace on the same o ccas i on i n t h e most Cathol i c capitals of urope. Unfortimately, in Europe religion is too often placed like the flaming . swords on the walls of. Paradise, to warn off the .people fronr`the tree of knowledge. Not so in Mexico, where the Ctingeeis is providing that general education shall go hand-in-hand with religious instruction. Thereltre printing presses-established, arid a journal or two published, in most of the provinces of the Union. No b e tt er evi d ence cou ld b e g i ven of the general activity of the public mind, of the taste for various kinds of jnfortnation, and of the good sense and ability with which public matters are treated, thin the pages of the journal now before tut. The reflections of the Editor are frequently judicious and well expressed, and the communications of his correspondents are amusing and instructive. We observe among theth Many interesting observations on,the mines and the mode of 'working then, the substance of which we should have laid. befOre our reedets, had not this•article alreatly,extended to too great a length.

The south of Spain was ripe for insurrection. Sailed on the Lth and arrived at Gibraltar, for repairs, on the Bth. Sailed the following day with a westerly wind, and on the 11th, bein off Tarifa. where the Conatitutionalists had hoisted the patriotic itandard, a vessel under English colours, was observed to have been boarded by armed bolas and detained in the bay. 'rule Hamoaze stood in immediately to• her rescue, took the , vessel in tow; and brought her our from under tlw fire of the batterlee'.' 'She-'proved to be the Agnes, William Welch, master, fourteen days from Glasgow, bound to Malaga. The Hamoaze returned to Gibraltar with that vessel in tow, and left her there iii safety. 1 / is M a j es ty ' s mortar-vesse l again attempted to pass the Strait, with a strong westerly wind, and on the 12th fell in with, off Tarifa, an English merchant ship, the Tantivy, of Poole, `V. ,Andrews master,*from Leghorn, bound to Liver. pool, which had been detained and threatened to be fired into by a French man of war schooner. The Tantivy was promptly taken under convoy, and in tow of the Hamoaze; both vessels to. gether turning to windward, passed the batteries of Tarifa, in defiance of the. French and Sp a ni s h squa d rons , an d coming up with the schooner, satisfaction was demanded by the Hamoaze, fig the apparent insult offered to the British flag, by the schooner, in presuming to alter the voyage of an English mer. chant ship. An explanation was given by the. French Cont. mender, and the schooner parted comp an y. By day,light on the 13t h August, the, passage through the Strait of :Gibraltar was effected by his Majesty's mortar vessel Hemoaza and con. voy ; having performed this most difficult and singular opera. don in twenty-four hours, by means of great exertion in turning to windward; fifty-two tacks were made in all on both shores, and across the eastern current ; the wind steady ' at W. by N. and generally in fresh breezes. We believe there is not .anotheir instance recorded of a ship or vessel of war bringing convoy through the Strait of Gibraltar with a west erly wind ; and it is of very rare 'occurrence that single ships effect the passage, or even attempt it, under any circumstances, with a beating wind, from the prevailing force of the eastern current. For some days before her arrival the Hartioate's crew been much distressed for want of good water. The whole of the compasses in the vessel were out of order, either by light ning or by the powerful influence of the iron cargo. Capt. the Hon. Robert Rodney is appointed to the Active, Capt. King having resigned on account of ill' health.
