LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four o' Cock.
The Madrid, Capt. Bingham, has just arrived in
Southampton water. The announcement of her arrival
in the London journals yesterday was premature.

The intelligence received from Paris this morning,
brings no further information as to the progress of the
French Princes, who were lea, by the last accounts,
at Burgos; but it was confidently expected that they
would reach Madrid on the 6th, where a magnificent
reception awaited them. The Court, and a large
majority of the Paris papers profess to regard the
Montpensier marriage as a felt accompli. The National
however hesitates, and the uneasy state of the public
mind is indicated by a further decline on the Bourse,
occasioned doubtless by the ramour that Mr. Bulwer
would leave Madrid for Aranjuez immediately on
the arrival of the French Princes ; and the universal
impression that the opposition of the British Cabinet
to the proposed marriage of the Infanta remains
unmoved. There was a report, too, that Don Fran-
cisco d'Assis was anxious to decline the honour of the
Queen's hand, and withdraw from Madrid; at least
so we are informed by a morning paper. M. de Le-
martine's manifesto engages general attention.

An arrival at Liverpool brings us intelligence
from New York to the afternoon of the 19th ult. By
th;s opportunity we have Santa Anna's proclamation
to the Republic of Mexico, which presents the volu-
minous characteristics of transatlantic Messages. It
charges Paredes with the intention of reimposing
monarchy upon the country; and, in order to effect
this, with having forwarded ill-equipped armies to the
Rio Grande, that they might be defeated, in which
case the people would be compelled to appeal to
European monarchies for protection against the
United States ; thus accomplishing the schemes of
European intervention in the internal administration
of the republic. To establish his charges of deliberate
treachery against Paredes, Santa Anna goes into a
variety of proofs; and then, having shown the diffi-
culties to which the country has been brought, pro-
poses the remedy as follows :
Fellow countrymen,—Never has the situation of the re •
public been so difficult as at present. Its national existence
threatened on one side, on the other an attempt has been
made to subject it to the hardest of all lots, to European
dominion. Such is the abyss to which we have been brought
by the endeavour to govern our young society according to
the system adopted in the old. This is the true cause of the
long stru -gle in which we have been engaged, which has
weakened our forces, and by which the interests of the ma-
jor:ty have been sacrificed to the extravagant pretensions of
a small minority.
" This state of things must be ended, in compliance with
the wishes of the nation ; and by opp sing to the former the
union of republicans of true faith, the concert of the army
and the people. By this union we shall conquer the inde-
pendence of our country. Thus united, we shall confirm it
by establishing peace on the solid basis of public liberty ;
thus united, we shall preserve the integrity of our immense
territory.
" The fraudulent schemes ef the enemies of our country
being thus unfolded, and the true source of its misfortunes
being laid open to all, the radical remedy of the whole nil
consists in putting an end for ever to the ruinous control of
ntinorities, by calling on the nation honestly to fix its own
devtiny, and to secure its territory, its honour, and its wel-
fare. Thus placed in entire liberty to act, as it should be, in
the midst of the discussions carried on by the press, in the
trihun m, and even in the streets and squares, it will take into
eoeside,-ation the evils which surround it, and seek the means
of resisti.sg them ; and satisfied in its desires, mistress of its
own fate, it will display the energy peculiar to a free people,
will prove tiqual to the conflicts in which it is to be engaged,
and will come out of them, not only honourably, but, more-
over, entirely regenerated. In this way the administration,
established, res.'Jng on, and springing from public opinion,
may display all is organised forces to maintain our territory,
instead of quarter.'ag them in the central towns, as hitherto,
under a government created by seditious movements, con-
stantly at war with .'he nation, and occupiod solely in en-
deavouring to save itself, without regard for our external
dangers."
With the exception of the foregoing, which is
