A short time since there was a hot press here, but all the Americans were given up. The Portuguese have still entire command of the eastern side of the river." (From a Philadelphia Paper, of the 16th September.) Mexico.---The news frem Mexico contained in our Paper to-day, is uncommonly interest ing, as it gives good reason for believing, that the independence of this highly favoured coun try is about to be completely established. Vera Cruz was the only place that held out, and this it was expeCted would soon fall into the hands of the independents. The conduct of D'Donoju, the Captain General sent from the Havana, evinces that Spain is unable to re-es- ablish its authority. He issues his Proclaim . non, exhorting,the Mexicans to terminate their dissentious, and return to the dominion of Spain ; promising however, that if his arrange meats to place them on an equal footing with the mother country failed, " be would, at the east signal, leave them to chase, unmolested, the IChief who might be agreeable to them."— This clearly proves, that the Viceroy feels his inability to re-establish the authority of Spain, and that the period is not very remote when Mexico may demand of Spain the recognition of its NA.. TT °NAL INDEPENDENCE. " But however defective Ministers may have been in making the public welfare the main. object of their views, we may be satisfied satisfied by this estimate of things, from the Revolution to the Present tinges, that the Nation have at least marched Passibits r And though this work is nc4 intended either as a de fence or an accusation of . Ministers, yet fpr the sake of truth it mast be said, that the eternal clamours of a factious and a selfish People against every Ministry that rises, puts one in mind of those Carthaginian Armies, which being at once cowardly and insolent, ran away at sight of an enemy, and then crucified heir General because he did not gain the victory !"—Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the limes.-1757. In the lack of interesting pOlitical intelligence, both foreign and domestic, it would be useful if all parties and all persons were to devote some attention to the characteristic Principles of the Times in which we live. Patriotism is in the mouth of every one. All parties profess an earnest desire to serve their country. On the surface there appears to be no difference amongst them but as to the best means.by which the pub lic welfare may be promoted. But there are too many reasons for suspecting that there is very little genuine patriotism amongst us. There is not any one measure, or principle, or system, on w hich the people are found to agree. If we were ail influenced by a sincere desire, not to serve par ticular views, but really to serve our country, it would be strange indeed if we were not on some, naY on most, occasions agreed. It is to be feared that the spirit by which the people are actuated is not Nati ona l Spirit, but the spirit of Faction and tifisliness, in various forms and modifications.-- Each Party has formed for itself a circle, as it :were, W hick it will neither leave for a moment itself, nor allow others-to penetrate. Any one Df them would perhaps endeavour to advance the general good ; but it must be allowed to do so *ntir e ly in its own way, or it will not do it at all. It will neither give assistance to the other, nor re ceive assistance from them. It is guilty of something worse than even culpable indifference to - bene ficial measures which do not originate with It exerts itself unceasingly to counter act them; and this perverse spirit of opposition is strong and active in proportion to the power which the other party or parties have of render ing wise and salutary meantres extensive and per manent. There is 46 an eternal clamour from a factious and selfish people."—Accurate observers have remarked this in all ages, in free states, whatever might be the prevailing party and prin ciples in its government. it may not be so necessary, at present, to inquire into the causes of this mischievous propensity te; dissatisfaction, as it is to be convinced of the factitself. If there be a factious spirit of opposition, on the one hand, let us take care . to free and preserve ourselves f roma spirit of factious tenacity on the other, which rejectsell improVements that do not originate with nur own Firty,and which clings even to the errors of the system which itdesires to support for its utility. . One faction is incapable of guarding itself, or the state, from the designs of another faction ; Much less is it capable of subduing that spirit of Faction which has always appeared in every cc'untry possessing a considerable portion of fr eedom, l It is by an union of men under the in -'4ence of a teue Public or National Spirit, al one, that the general welfare can be maintain et') and the interests of our Country be pre served and promoted.

EDiTax--4The exemplary conduct of this eminent, learned, and pious Diocesan cannot fail to impress on the other Members of . the Ilieraithy the necessity of PERSONAL SUR VEYS of their respectiire dioceses, so that after THESE surveys 'are made, it will only be requisite for the Bishops to direct the Archdeacons and Rural Deans to require ANNUAL RETURNS to be made to them by the resident officiating Ministers and Church Wardens of the Parishes within their respective Sees, of the state of the Churches, Chapels, and other EU nrimus attached to their prefermens, and also returns of the state and condition of the endowed and other Schools, and Public Charities, within their immediate districts —and that these AN sum. RETURNS to the Archdeacons or Rural Deans should be deposited by them in the Courts of the Chancellors of the several Dioceses, and there entered on record, to be open to the inspection of the public. By the adoption of these sug gestions great advantages 'ill arise to OUR VENERABLE CHURCII ESTABLISHAIENT, which will gradually tend to an nihilate that indifference and apathy, which, it is lamentable to say, is too much shewn by several of her members, and like wise by which SUBSEQUENT incumbents will be benefited and protected. It will prevent fraudulent alienations and dila pidations, check improvident and. corrupt resignations of older incumbents, in favour of younger, ones, and protect the fair interests of the Church., Neither, as in past times, will lands, farms, mills, nay, even manors, be lost.sight of ; nor will houses, tythes, barns, or other erections of that de scription be annihilated to suit the profit or the immediateviews or convenience of an incumbent.

Alton, Hants, 22d October, 1821. * * * * The following extract from The Kilkenny Moderator, shews that the infuriate spirit has branched in another direction :—" On Sunday se'nnight, the house of George Greene, Esq., of Littlebridge, near Cappoquin, in the county of Waterford, was robbed by five armed men who entered through the kitchen window, from which they deliberately removed a large pane of glass. They demanded arms and money, and, we regret to say, obtained both, which they carried off, together with a large quaptity of men and women's wearing apparel. The arms con sisted of two bayonets and two swords. On en tering the room of Mr. C reene's brother, who was the only man in the house, one of the ban ditti fired at him, and lodged three slugs in his shoulder and arm ; buti the wounds, most fortu nately, were all flesh ones. The gua was dis charged so near him that the wadding set fire to his shirt. One of the attacking party was lame, and appeared peculiarly ferocious, Another of the miscreants, however, was very kind to Miss Greene, who was compelled to accompany the party through the entire house, and open the drawers in which it was supposed money' had been deposited.—Some of the assailants were lately liberated from Clonmel gaol. Mr. Fitz maurice, of Cappoquin, with his usual alertness and determination, went in search of the robbers, as soon as he heard of their nefarious burglary ; with what success we have not yet heard." The weather in Northumberland has been, since the commencement of the harvest, as dry as it has in the South been the reversed The farmers in many parts find a difficulty in obtain ing water for their stock, and the grass and tur nips have both suffered frbm the unusual drought. Their harvest has been extremely well got in, and the corn was thoroughly ripe. _ _ Instructions were yesterday received at Carl ton Palace to make the necessary preparations for his MAJESTY'S reception by the 20th, or at the latest by the 25th of next month. Lord GWYDYR left l'aris on the 16th, in conse quence of receiving a letter from Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, hinting that his presence might be necessary on the KING'S return to London. ilk Lordship arrived yesterday morning, and, after the stay of a few hours, proceeded to Brighton. Viscount POWERSCOURT, it is said, is to be the new Irish Representative Peer. A Privy Council sat at the Castle of Dublin on Sunday, which was attended by Major STEWART, who made a report of the state of the county of Limerick. It is expected to be immediately pro claimed. SUICIDE.-Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Board Room of the Rolls (Liberty) Workhouse, near Chancery-lane, upon the body of Wm: Clifton, who was about 19 years old, and who terminated his own existence by poison. It appearet! on the evidence as adduced to the Coroner (T. STIRLING, Esq.), that on the after noon of Monday last, the deceased had attended the funeral of a person at St. Clement Danes Church, who also bad poisoned himself, in llolles-street, near Clare-market, the Monday before, owing to derangement of intellect ; and that, after the funeral was over, the deceased, in the present case, mired with his accustomed friends, upon which, after shaking hands gene rally, he took leave of them, saying at the same time that he had done something they would be surprised at, and would see him no more. The de ceased then returned home to his mother in Swan yard, White's-alley, Chancery-lane, soon after which he was attacked by violen( pains, attended with vomiting; when be stretched himself on the bed,and calling his mother, told the latter that upon his return from the funeral he bad purchased a pennyworth of arsenic at a chemist's shop, which he bad eaten out of the paper as he walked along. The deceased assigned no cause for the act ; but the circumstance of having attended the funeral, together with the observations of the persons as sembled to witness the interment, had worked ou his brain in a manner he could not account for. Mr. OwErf, a medical gentleman, in Chan cery-lane, administered a strong emetic, but altho' it operated very powerfully it had no effect, as the deceased expired in great agony about an hour after. The Jury returned a Verdict- 46 That the deceased poisoned himself in a fit of derange ment."

The lights for the music and banquetting-rooms, and for the grand entrance, are order ed to be ready by the King's return. It is also intended to have a range of lamps lighted with gas, in front of the Pavilion ; the effect of this must be magnificent and brilliant in the ex treme. As many as 150 lights are, we hear, already ordered.— Two pannels in the splendid music-room have been removed by order of Mr. Nash, for the purpose, we hear, of making some alteration in the flues of the apartment.—(Brighton Chronicle.)

Mrs. GARRICK.—A friend was condoling with this venerable Lady on 'the loss of her excellent husband, when the latter said, " he never was a husband to me." The friend testified great sur prise at so unexpected a declaration, but Mrs. GARRICK added immediately, " for during the thirty years that we were married he always re mained any lover." _ AN AMUSING PUN OF Tilt' LATE MR. CURRAN. —A Mr. Hu osoN,who had made a large fortune as a tooth draz,:er, had built a very expensive coun try-house close to Mr. CualtAN's at Rathfarn ham, near Dublin, but of such an extraordinary construction as to bid defiance to the criticism of the architect. One day after dinner at Mr. CURRAN'S. this singular mansion became a sub ject of merriment for his guests. The question for their satirical inquiry was, 64 What was its order of architecture i" One said, Oh it cer tainly was Grecian ; another contended it was Saxon, and a third that it was Oriental ; when their host, with his usual vivacity, and superiority of wit, thus interposed :—" Ex cuse me, Gentlemen," said he " you are all wrong—it is Task-an!" From the irregularities of this mansion, and from its proprietor being a dentist, the I iish call it " Straggle-tooth Hall." Mr. SAMUEL Wr.stxv, it seems, is a Candidate for the office of Organist to the new Church at St. Pancras. The abilities of this gentleman have been so long known, and particularly his admi rable skill ou the Organ, that we conceive he is not likely to encounter any formidable com petition.

For what is the left leg ? Look into JOHNSON, says a modern etymologist, and it is defined—not right :-101-,k for right, and it is—not left. How much more satisfactory than this negative definition is that which is offered in its stead—the participle of to leave — that which is left ; as the hand is called left, because the right, with some few exceptions, is in common use. The Ancients, however modern coxcombs in etymology affect to despise them, appear to have been acquainted with this ; hence dexter,—right,—is only OEE pro 3:4..-"a;c-ter,' —take me thrice, (a term used for often) ; and sinis-ter,—leave me_ thrice, which is the left : and if there could be any doubt upon so plain a point, we will appeal for confirmation' to the same language which SWIFT proves by so many strong instooces to be borrowed from the Eng lish ; indeed, where can . there be a stronger in stance, though it escaped his sagacity, than the word loev-us,which all the right hands uniformly, and with very few exceptions, say to the left. l f, however, the tine gentlemen Critics of the present day are not satisfied with this, I will give them a more modern authority, more suited to their tAste, and perhaps to their capacity: it is taken from the famous G. A. STEVENS, who was asked by Jolts sox, how a party with whom he nset to go down in the long vacation contrived to amuse them selves in that solitary season at Cambridge.—" We read," says he," and walk . in the morning, meet at dinner, go to Stirbitch play in the evening, and then drop in at one of the booths and pick up the left leg of a goose :" " and pray" - said JOHN.. SON, (all alive to the tit-bits) " what is there so delightful in the left leg of a goose " Oh," says STEVENS, " quite charming, especially when it is the only leg left."--What a Pity that the Doctor did not take the hint,- and make one of these improvements in his Dictionary, which, in valuable and astonishing as it is, for the work of one man, may yet, like every other - work of man, unless the author is the most obstinate and incor rigible, deign to be improved. • Tit t: Tit EAT IVE, HAYMARKET.—MISS BLAKE, who made so very favourable an impression on the audience on Tuesday evening, at this Theatre, in the character of Mitcheath, resumed that character last night with increased success. The applause which she received on the previous night has mitigated her fears, and given new ani mation to her talents. She was encored in almost every song, all of which she sung with precision, sweetness,and striking effect. We ought to observe, that she also appeared to more advantage as an actress. She fully entered into the character o Macheath, and supported it throughout with ease, archness, and spirit. The rest of - the characters were so well supported that we have seldom seen The Beggar's Opera brought forward with more characteristic effect.—There was a call for the hornpipe, by a prisoner in fetters, but the performer could not come in time from the Surrey Theatre. The galleries, however, were at length gratified by their favourite dance. The house was very well attended. The idea of a Palace in the Regent's Park has been long in contemplat►on. it is said that by the sale of Buckingham House and Cardenc, a sum might be raised which might go far in the building of a magnificent structure.

The advertising that his linen was marked with the initials " A. D." led his friends to a discovery of his lamentable fat: , . His name is Archibald Douglas, the son of Douglas, Esq. of Dorset-street, May-fair. It was supposed that he had been robbed and inhumanly beaten from the cir cumstance of his seals and keys being missing, but his wat. it being left in the fob, and his purse, containing six sovereigns, remaining in his pocket. it was concluded that the former were lost at the time he fell front his horse. It appears that he dined on Sunday at a gentleman's house near Richmond, and left for town in the evening. A Jury sat on the body on Tuesday night at Knightsbridge,before Thom/km HIGGS, f: sq. Coron.tT ; arid there being no witness to prove how the accident occurred, they returned a verdict—" That the deceased's death was caused by a fracture on his skull ; but how the injury was produced. they had no evidence upon which they could determine."
