LONDON, TIIrRSDAY, Jui 1, 1821.

By papers which reached us last night through Bayonne
we learn, That the Inaree *ud bigots in Spain, who, under
pretence of upholding ate altar and throne, aim in fact
only at the accomplishment of the most sordid designs fur
their own individual benefit, have reduced their plans to
the most intelligible langnage. The reconquest of the co-
lonics is of coursli the stalking horse of the party, but the
practical and immediate measure is, that they, pie ever,-
fence, the Royalists, should have divided amongst them the
proceeds of the sale of the property of the revolutionists !
The hatred of the Frenelt, and the desire to get rid of them,
is openly avowed, we are told, especially by the monks and
the military. Military, indeed ! what military can degraded
Spain pretend to have? Arc they the recreants who shrunk
before the invaders, whom now, coward-like, they would
assassinate if they dared ; or are they the banditti of the
Faith, who, living by plunder. long to resume their rrofes-
sion ? The prisons, it appears, are daily besieged by the un-
happy relatives and friends of the captives who are immured
on acctunt of the Iced. All letters from l'urtugal, in which
political intelligence is communicated, are intercepted.
Ferdinand amm...-..s himself with making promotions in his
guards, and attending the processions of the church ; and
those of his creatures who are willing to be warri•wa at
little cost take thminissions in the corps forming for the
reconquest of the colonies. _

MADRID, .717 NE 17.
A hair dissertation on public opinion 11114 been address's! to
Count and to 31. d'Arjona„ Superintendent of Police. This
paper is too lng, and too ill written, for us to give it. The follow-
ing is the substance of the ideas developed in it : the necessity of
the alliance of 211 the Powers of Europe to re-conquer South Ame-
rica; nruachcs to the English, who appear to oppose it—though

at the bottom they agree with the I:uly Alliance. All grand
Rey*lists are represented as defenders of Me throne and the
altar, and as such deserving of rewards and Inn:wits, urnd of the
proceeds cf the sale of the prdper!s of the r^vclndottists. eto
examination of all the shades of opinion, in which it is shown that
hatred to the French, and the desire to expel :11.,t front Spain,
are stronger than ever. This hared is more open u.d mure viols at
among the military and the monks, win the orniy of occupation
hinders from indulging U. greater excesses. Apprehension has
been excited by the probable consequences of the measure already
announced, making all persons lelre :11ailtid who iI4VC not been
there six years, and the execution of this measure is dtfer►ed to
another time. _ .

The prisons, which arc full in entotequence of the lrra, are ti r-
munded the whole day long by an inintevie bomber of persons,
who are relation, of friends to dome oontinid _ _ _

An almost impenetrable veil is cast over the 'wire of Portugal.

His Majesty has made numerous promotions in the Royal

Some garbled extracts have been published from a
letter said to have been addressed to Iturbide " by a re-
spectable merchant resisting at Vera Cruz." The object of
this publication is to show, that in the opinion of the
writer it is absolutely necessary to the independence of
Mexico that Iturbide should resume his imperial sway.
This porti an, rho, we suspect, is much ksa mercantic
than military in his pursuits, is so sat:gni:to as to assure
the Ex-emperor that he will he able, with the greatest ease,
to re-enact the return of Bonaparte from Elba. "So
firmly," says the anonymous correspondent of Iturbide,
"am I persuaded of this, that were you to land to-morrow
in Mexico, attended by only one servant, you would cer-
tainly in less than a week be at the head of ten thousand
men." We shall soon know whether the prophetic powers
of this mysterious person are equal to his political
sagacity. Ile is constrainA reluctantly to admit, that
Ithe British Commissioners are satisfied of the suf-
ficiency of the present Government of Mexico to main-
tain the independence and tranquillity of the State :
but he ascribes this opinion to the " infatuation" under
which they labour. To balance the it judgment he cites
that of the officers of the Valorous who visited the metro-
polis of Mexico, and who, we arc gravely told, are " pre-
pared to report the persons in power wholly incapable."
This " merchant" seems to think that that judgment must
be the soundest which is held by the greatest number. We
differ front him. Naval officers are not always, in our
opinion, precisely the best qualified, by their habits and
education, to give judgment on the political affairs of a
foreign country, especlally if, to the obvious disadvantages
under which they ate naturally at all times placed, be
superadded an entire ignorance of the peculiar circum-
stances c f that country, except what they derive from a few
weeks' passage through it. The judgment of the Com-
missioners is that on which every ratiocal man will rely. It
is much more probable that the correspondent of Iturbide is
infatuated, than that those gentlemen can have suddenly
lost the soundness and temper of mind that belonged to
than. With respect to Tien title himself, in wile se favour
an attempt seems to be making to hold him up as a person ,
somehow or other entitled, as of legitimate right, to wear
the diadem of Mexico, we shall make only a few observa-
tions. Ile had rendered some services to his country, which
he cancelled by endeavouring to enslave her. His coun-
trymen rose to emancipate themselves from the new yoke
be sought to impose upon them, and compelled him to ab-
dicate. The army of which, like all usurpers, he had
availed himself to seize upon the Government, was very
speedily so disgusted with his tyranny, that he dared not
trust bit fate in their hands. Ile appealed to the Con-
gress, the representatives of the Mexican people, the con-
stitutional authority which he bad tried to destroy ; he
supplicated their protection. The Congress, with a gene-
rosity unparallelled in history, settled upon him a princely
pension, and allowed him to retire to Europe in order to
enjoy it. They rewarded his merits, while they forgave his
offences. The proclamation issued by the Congress on the oc-
casion of Iturbide's abdication, declared his political exist-
ence to be " incompatible with the safety and happiness of
Mexico." He was then, under a military escort, conducted
to the coast, and banished for life from the shores of his
country. He had scarcely arrived in Europe when he vio- I
laced the condition on which he received his pension by
removing to England, as it is now clearly apparent, for the
purpose of more safely carrying on the intrigues by which
be hoped to resume his reluctantlyrenounced sceptre. The'
bad faith on which lie has acted throughout, is rendered
more strikingly manifest by the publication of this letter
of his adherent. It is avowed now that his object is to
adze the sovereignty. In his parting letter he disclaimed
any such design. He afrected to be wholly disinterested
personally, and to devote himself, like another I)ecius,
to the good of his country. We have already ex-
pressed our wishes that his enterprise may fail, and
that be himself may suffer the punishment which the
general voice of mankind has denounced against the,
disturbers of public order; and we repeat now, that we
shall deeply regret if he meet with any countenance on his
landing, which may tend to prolong the civil war into
which, for his own s elfish views, he would plunge his
country. The last adviees 11. om Mexico state, that the ;
new Dictator, General Bravo, is rlepting the most effec-
tual measures for securing the peace of the State and the
safety of the Government. The Lion schooner had arrived
at the island of Saerificios with specie for the Mexican ser-
vice, and two messengers had proceeded from Alvarado to
the capital, with despatches relative to the loan.

The decline during the last year has been principally
foreign and colonial merchandise exported, which )1,
sunk from 9,227..",t,91. to tc,603, 1/. Upon the %holt til
statement is highly gratifying, as though there is a t,:e.
tuation by which the total exports of 1t:23 are somes!L
below those of 1%22, yet there is a considerable in:Ter:x.4
the average of the two former years. The greatly increo
value of the imports (luring the last year, is a proof q:ir
the trtile of the United Kingdom is steadily and pun,
neatly growing. These returns are exclusive of the t-341
