"Sir Jas. Remy', Lieutenant-Governor and Come
mender-in-Chief in and over his Britannic Majesty's ,
provinee• of Nays Scotia and its dependencies', has
tarred Ins Proclamation, under date of April 29th,
wuthorising and empowering British subject', for
the space of twelve months from the date thereof,
to import and bring into that province, from the
Visited S.stes of America, in British built ships or

shingles, and boons; or horses, neat cattle, sheep,
holm pdultry, or lire stock of any sort ; bread, Lis.
calf, flour, pease, beans, wheat, rice, and parley.
By the schooner Ranger, Captain Lawrence,
arrived from Lsiguira, we learn that an embargo
had been laid previous to the sailing of the Patriot
squadron fur the blockade of Porto Cabello. The
squadron sailed on the 25th of April, and consisted
of a gun brig and four schooners, under the coo.
mend of Commodore Bogay. Commodore Daniels
had volunteered his services. and intended to join
the intiadron with a 16-grin brig. Captains Wilson,
Pelat. Boyson, and Itefferty, bad been appointed
Peet Captains in the Veneswetan navy. It was the
general opinion that Porta Cabello would capitulate
soon after the appesrsoce of the blockading
squadron, their supplies being cut off by .land and
by sea. The Spanish frigate I a Hero, and Her.
cm.iss gun brig, were at Porto Cabello. The
flitr,-,ete was so badly maimed that she would ait
har,rd an action.

Mexico.—Our readers have heard a good deal of.
Isle about the proceedt►.g. of Iturbide, who, in imi•
tat►oo of Napoleon. wished to take advantage of the
puhuc•l distraction• existing in Mexico, and get
I:i.:.self elevated to the imperial purple. Accounts
s eceived at Hatininali direct from Mexico to the 9d
April, throw some new light on the attempts of this
Chief to carry his ambitious projects into effect.—
Aware that his views were hostile to those of the•
Cougresa, he had so far succeeded as to gain over •
part of the military, which shouted !fib/ el Key! and
when soother regiment was sent to bring them to
reason, they also refused to obey their commanders,
'patching off their cockades and delivering them to
rho Geueral. Elated by the success of these tresche.
MOS proceedings, lturbide presented himself, like
another Cromwell, before the Congress, and de-
sounded the dismissal of certain deputies, whom he
charged with being colhpirators. lie war answered,
that it was contrary to the rules to comply with Ina
demand, and that as he himself did not alone com-
er)* the Regency, he would please to retire. Show.
iag dispotstious to leave the place. Don Yauez
then observed, .4 I will thank your Excellency to re-
(mire my rtsignatiou. You► Excelleacy will pardon
rue (addressing Iturbide)—you are the only man
who usurps oil powers." Iturbide observed, " We
shall sow► find. Signor Yours. who is the traitor."—
Yauez replied. 4. I shall not leave this spot before
I convince your Highness you are that traitor."._

Much timalluous discussion is statel to have foh•
lowed, but we have no account of the mask of this
dating attempt to destroy the Coogreso. Among
other charges against the would-be imperaire, he
is said to have presented • forged letter from
Devil 4, in which he was invited i‘ to receoquer the
empire, and place it under the protection of Spain ;"
but, as if the Devil had • hand in it, theldot was
discovered. It is added, that these plots and
usurpations had destroyed the equilibrium of the
Mexican Government, which was " now in the
sitostion of Buenos Apes."
Colombia Repablec.—By an official statement of
the population of the "eves departments composing
the republic of Columbia, it appears that it
amounts to 2,014,600. Those departments are Co-
noco, Venezuela, Luba, Boyaca, Cundantates,
Cain.* ind Magdalena ; each of which is entitled
to four senator', and the provinces 73 represen-
tatives.. Panama and Vertigoes are included in
the above mutts, and are entitled to three repre-
sentatives.—The population of Quito, composed of
*even provinces, is stated at .550,000, sod when they,
declare themselves independent, they will be moul-
ded to 19 representative% The total population of
the republic of Columbia will then be 2,614,600,
