COUON lOW INQUESTS.

Devriq or A BOY, EIGHT YEARS OLD, FROM luro:lca.
TION !—A In Tuesday evening. an Inquest was held at the Red
Lion, in Tooley.street, berore THOS. Stixl.TON, Esq. on view of
the body ofJohn flatly, a line boy eight years old, the only son of
a poor widow in that neighbourhood, who came to his death under
the following circumstances :
James Parsons, servant to Mr. Parker, landlord of the Puke of
Clarence public.house, in Tooley.street, deposed, that on Sunday
morning, a man named Barney Kelly and the deceased, came into
his master's house, and called for glass of ruin, the greater putof
which was drank by the deceased.
Wm. Slay, landlord of the Three Tuns, in Tooley.street, stated,
that on Sunday morning, Kelly, with three others, and the ee.
ceased, came to his house ; they had three pots of beer. Witness
observed that the deceased was asleep the greater part of the time
the► remained in his house.
James Fisher, surgeon, and assistant to Mr. Luton, in Tooley.
street, said, that on Sunday afternoon the deceased was brought to
Mr. Lvdon's shop, he appeared to witness to belabouring under a
compression of the brain ; the symptoms were, a stupor and cold.
ness of the extremities. Witness prepared a draught, and ordered
it to be given when the deceased was taken home.
By a Juryman—ll,► you suppose that the symptoms under
which the deceased laboured at the time, arose front intoxication ?

Witness_—Such symptom% are produced by intoxication as well
as from natural causes, such as a violent blow, a fall, or deterint;
nation of blood to the head--411 these will product the same
effects.
. .

Mr. Bolland, surgeon, depsed, that Im was sent for on Sunday
evening, to see the deceased, whom he found in strong convulsit
fits. After the fits hail subsided a little, witness bled him, applied
something warm to his feet, and rcpt him a draught to operaieoa
the bowels. It is possible that those symptom/ might be o.ea.
slotted from the effects of strong spirits.
By a Juryman—Did you think at the time that they arose from
that cause ? _ _

Witness was led to believe it from what heiheanl ; but if he bad
not heard so. he would hate considered the symptoms natural, eel e.
had known instances of children, particularly at a tenderage, labour-
ing under precisely the same symptoms.
Michael Walsh lodges in toe house of the deceased's mother,
and litany Kelly was in his room on Sunday lest when Kelly came
in with the deceased. Witness asked the deceased who gave hint
the drink, but he was so drunk that he could make him no answer.
Kelly put him to bed, and went down stairs. Witness left the
house shortly after, and did not return till eleven o'clock at Light,
when!the child tas dead.
Mrs. Harley, the mother of the deceased, said that on Sunday
morning, about seven o'clock, Kelly took her son out of her hoi.Ne
by her consent, as she thought he was only going to give him a
drop of beer. She went to Chapel at nine o clock, at which time
they were not returned. On her coming home from Chapel 'boat
half-psat ten, she inquired if her son was come in. She sas
awned by one of the lodgers that he was, and was in bed up stairs.
Thinkiug that the beer might make hint sleepy. she did not go up
to disturb him until near one o'clock, when on going into the room
she found him working in convulsive fits. She had him inattiedi-
ately taken to the doctor's, but no relief was afil.rded from what he
got, as he remained in the fits until eleven o'clock the sante night,
when he expired. The deceased never was in be'ter health than on
that moniing, when Kelly took him out. The deceased was much
attached to Kelly, and Kelly was always very kind to him. Kell'
carne to witness'. house on tiunday night, and remained there until
the officers took him into custody.
A gentleman present stated, that on Sunday morning, a, he was
posing through Tooley-street, he saw Kelly holding the deceased
by the back of the collar, and pulling him along. A man came
up and offered his services, and he and Kelly took the deceased by
the arms, and carried him home. Kelly and deceased were very
drunk at the time.

William Harley is uncle to the deceased. Kelly to'd Wm on
Sunday night that he had Fiven one glass of rum, and half a glass
of gin, to the deceased. 1 Nought the deceased was able to man .ge
a glass of gin, as he was in the habit of getting a drop of a Sunday
morning from the lodgers.
In recapitulating the evidence, the Coroner took occasion to re.
probate, in very just terms; the shameful practices of giving r.tre g
spirits to children. Instances of it came under his own obs:avatioa
daily, in passing by the spirit shops in town.
The Jury also expressed their abhorrence at such a custom, sr d
hoped that when the result of the present fatal eircumstarce V.'l4
made public it would deter others from committing such iliame.,.l
practices. The following verdict was then returned—" That the
deceased*, death was occasioned by t• a :Him of spirits, given 1.,
him by Bernard Kelly, but not with any evil intention."
Kelly remained in custody till the rault of the Inquest •v.
known.

01l Tlt Al. E.—Yesterday, an Inquest riS held l,f.,re
Mr. STIRLixo, the Corona, in the b. a:d-ronin of the 31tddic,‘
Hospital, on the body of a young man named Robert Scott, who
died from excessive loss of blood, caused by several wounds received
f..nm a cork-cutter's knife.

Samuel lloimer, brewer to Messrs. Reynolds. and Co.„ Somers
Town, stated he was present on the 19th of Augun in the brew
house-yard. The deceased, and a man named Brown, were pre-
sent. Brown asked the deceased for some brewing clothes ;
deceased said he had not any, but his apron ; Brown then took
hold of the apron of the deceased, and cut it in two, and endea-
voured to cut it across, but deceased pulled it away. Brown the't
cut at: his hands in a very great passion, and severed the thumb
and forefinger from off the left hand. Scott cried out, " Good
God ! what have I done to deserve this ? if you have any
towards me, why not meet me like a man, and not use that tune-
tiering knife ?" Brown, after this, cut at him again, and seemed
furious with passion. They were both employed at the bnwery.
Juror—Did the deceased fall on receiving the blow %
M'itnesm—No sir, the casks kept him up ; he could not retreat.
The deceased had not struck Brown, neither did he make any re-
sistance. Brown made another effort to strike him afterwards.
The witness did not know of any malice existing between them.
Richard Jones, principal brewer in Mr. Reynold's firm, deposed
to the sante effect ; adding that Scott, the deceased. had palled
of Brown's apron, and he did not know of any ether ruse for
such an act. Brown struck him with all his strength reportedly.
The deceased's fingers and hand were nearlysevered Brown is a
man of bad temper.
Another witness deposed to the same effi rt.
Mr. 11. Hammond, house surgeon of the Middlesex hospital,
stated, that the deceased was brought into the Hospital with a des-
perate cut across the wrist, which had severed all tie arteries, and
nearly the hand, from the arm. The deceased was HOC:ling pe.
fusely ; every attention was paid him, and he seemed getting bet.
ter for five days, but a fresh hemorrhage commenced. and upon the
opinion of a consultation of asrgams, tt was found nece,oary to airs -
putate the hand, which was done on the 4th inst., and he died two
days after. The witness thinks the deceased had a disease on the
chest, and was disordered before the accident, which may have ac-
celerated his death; and which certainly was caused by tie wounds
he had received.

Robert Scott, father of the deceased. here said. Ili% son always
lived with him until lately ; he never mentioned having any Maud
complaint, and was remarkably healthy.
The Coroner remarked, that the weapon was certainly a most Ic.
famous one to use. If any malice was intended by WM who struc►
the blow, undoubtedly he was guilty of murder; but that was for
the Jury to 6nrl.
The Jury, ems a consultation of an hour and half. returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter against Wm. Brown."
On the return of the Jury, and on the inquest paper bring pre.
sented Mr their signature, vne of the Jury (Mr. Jones, of Hamra% -
yard.) objected to sign his name, as the verdict and terms of t!.e
indictment ur.der the Coroner's inquisition were not fully writtev
in the paper. . _ _ .
. .

The.Oironer remarked upon the folly cf mai an objection, ob-
serving, that he was swum n to make a true teturn. and no mar .I=4
say he did the contrary. As to tillir,g up the paper, it was not as
nll necessary at that moment, and 1w called noon the Juror in-
stantly to sign the deposition, as that Court should never be broken
up until he had done so.
The Juror, after porn: hesitation, signed the pipes. Bruen has
absconded.

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, JUL

In our Paper yesterday we briefly alluded to the confr-
nation of the entrance of General Bravo into Guadalaxara,
contained in the New Terk Papers. We have since
received more ample and satisfactory intelligence from
Mexico, which we this day lay before our readers. It
esamprises the official despatches, stating the operations of
the army against the factitive Government of Jalisco. The
energy and rapidity of Bravo, it appears, took the partisans
of Iturbide at Guadalaxara by surprise, as be had before
at the capital, when he seized the plotters in the act of
( or:saltation. The General entered the city without
I.i:stance, the Jalise:.n troops having deserted Quintanar
a 1 Bustamente on the approach of Bravo. The
te.o rebel Chiefs bad fled, and the State was required
to veeed to the election of a new Governor, instead of
Q.i.Ltanar. At Teldc some blood was sited by Garcia,
t!..• dee oted adherent of Iturbide; but the insurgents were
routed without difficulty, and the whole province at once
sehtnittcd to the authority of the federal Government.
Carcia himself and several of his companions were made
prisoners, and will probably suffer the last severity of the
few. They were to be delivered ever to a Military Com-
mission fur trial. The !tors of Iturbide must now be
erm.hed. It is conjectured that he has proceeded round
Cape Horn, with intent to land at some port in the Pacific i
Ocean. It is very probable that he would make his do-
scent at San Blas, where his Jabs= friends had stationed
a relative to receive hint ; but as he would long ago have
been removed by Bravo, the adventurer, if, relying on the
.!etecttel conspiracy, he landed there, would immediately
fell into the hands of his enemies, and meet his fate.'
flowerer, whether lie land or not, he has ceased to b of

iinpertance, and he may return to Europe or not without
exciting any feeling of alarm in the Mexican Government.
The consolidation of the State by wise legislation is all that
the Mexicans have naw to consider, and we have now little,
.. no apprehension that they will be divertid from that
pursuit. They may look forward to the free and tranquil
enjoyment of the rich and fertile country they pow's.
lo addition also to the articles we quoted yesterday from
the Await:an papers, confirmatory of the successes ul
Belem, we have to give the following extract of a private
letter received iu the course of yesterday from Carthagena.
An attempt was made lately to chew that the reported de-
fection of the Spanish General, Olanets, could not be cor-
rect. The original communication was certainly stated in
a very confused manner, but that circumstance ought not
to have induced doubts of its authenticity, because it is
manifestly just as easy to fabricate clear as confused news.
The reason of Olancta's defection is licia explained. The
pe.ielamatien of the Viceroy, La S-rns, announcing the
restoration of absolute Government in Spain, hail hail the
effect of disgusting all the Spanish soldiers who hail de-
serted to Bolivar. Olanda was therefore obliged to fol- ,
I m their example, after defeating the American &AVM)
t:srratalla, in Upper Peru. The following is the extract to
which we allude:—

" CARTIIMIENA, JULY

•• I have now the plasure to inform you that news has this day
received from Pont, by way of Panama, which will, I hope,
Te;111.le all the unpleasam sensations which the Spanish suc.•tsses
in that quarter must have occasioned. Tie Spanish Uen,•ral
nets had a severe engagement with the Buenos Ayrean General
irerratalla, and had beaten him in Upper Peru, after which, from
$4411C Louse or other, the whole of the Spanish soldiers had dcilarcil
tor the Republics of Peru intil Colombia, and were marching us;:oin
ems manila:N. I hare just heard this from the Consul, who re_
celsed it front the Intendant, to whom the despatches were S:4lt."

destroy them by one general and indiscriminate reasse.cfe.
Accident happily prevented the insurgents from carrying
any part of their plan into effect ; but that they were fully
prepared to have indulged in the most chocking barbari-
ties, is a fact that may Le gathered from the cruelties
they practised on the animals belonging to their masters. !
They cut out the tongues of the horses, and tortured
them with shocking ingenuity. The first and principal I
witness thus states the object of the conspirators:—
" Their study was to set the trash-houses en fire, and they
said every estate's negro( s were to do the same as they !
were to do at Argyle, and when the white people came out
to put cut the fire: they were to take their guns from them,
kill the white peaple, and take the country ; it was at
Argyle he first heard them studying the talk. When I
came home at dinner-time or night I heard them talking,
and did not go to the house where the bargain was made,
hut heard them speaking of it." Again he says, " a negro ,
named Cengo Roach, belonging to us, said the Maroons
were to help them ; a man came from Silver Grove to know
when they were to fight the buelras ; most of the principal
negroes on Argyle buried their provisions and plates in
the ground in their houses ; they buried them because they
I were going to fight white people, and if they burnt their
houses they would lose everything ; heard them speak
very much about Mr. Wilberforce ; he must be the same
Gentlen:an who gave them their free with the King, and
that their masters here would not give it to them, and
they weed fight for it; the day was fixed for fighting; it
was the Monday after the Friday; I told Mr. Johnson to
tell master; they were not to turn out on that Mouday,
land if wassa or Busha troubled them, they would fight fur
it, and burn the trash-houses, and that the Maroons were
to join them ; but whether er not their masters troubled
I them, they would fight, as they were determined to have
I the country." Another witness, speaking of the proceed-
tings of the driver Clark, who was the ringleader of the
plot, states—" John Clark and the rest of the people
said they were going to be free; all the negro 11:CII
who were there said they would fight to be free on
Sunday night ; he and all the negro men said so ;
they said they were to kill all the white people on
the estate, and take away their guns." We add no
observations of our own to this testimony, because no-
thing that we could r.ly could more clearly sheer the
danger to which our West India Colonists are exposed,
from the unhappy delusions under which their slaves
labour, and, which, therefore, it is surely not the business
of the people of this country to foster and promote ; but on
the contrary, for the sake of the negroes themselves, utterly
to discountenance.

Those who hare reason to dread the press hate and vilify
it. Hence the outcry against its venality. No man is so
loud in his invectives against the press as he who has fell
its power to expose fraud and dtneunee imposture. " The
base press" is the language of all whom the press has
proved to be b--se themselves. Like incorrigible rogues con-
victed at the bar of the Old Bailey, they vent their rage on
the administrators of justice who pass upon them the sentence
deserved by their crimes. It is perfectly natural that,
Cobbett, and men of his stamp, should be loud and ve-
hement in their outcries against the press ; and, intleed,l
we think they have a right to make as much noise as they
please, wl.ile they arc slatting the severe punishment in-
flicted
upon them. It would be absolutely inhuman to
gag a criminal under the whip. We feel no surprise at the
hostility manifested by such persona against the press fur
its merciless treatment of them, but we sometimes witness,
with emotions of strong disgust, a disposition betrayed by
some put of the press to ally itself with this felon crew.
Whether we are to ascribe this disposition to sheer folly,
or to folly mixed with more disgraceful motives, we really
know nut. The imputation, however, is made in the
broadest and coarsest terms, that every paper that publishes
original intelligence favourable to the Greeks or Ameri-
cans, must be aiding seine stock jobbing fraud. A con-
tempura. y journal of yesterday states as a fact, for the in-
formation of the public, to guard them against deception,
that " the greeter part of the London press is played
upon, in order to get up the price of Greek securities."'
That the London press is occasionally the medium of cir-
culating exaggerated and even unfounded rumours, we do
not deny. The utmost vigilance and circumspection of
man cannot prevent the occurrence of some mistakes; but
tl.at "a regular plan is laid to deceive the : üblie, not only
with respect to the Greek cause but other causes," we do
absolutely disbelieve. What is the evidence on which
this strange and scandalous assertion rests? The paper
to scli:eli we allude hiss, it appears, a correspondent'
at Milford, where a vessel has arrived which passed through
the Capitan Paella's fleet, off' Ipsara, four days after the
capture of that island. The Captain, we are told, " was
on board the Turkish Admiral's ship and civilly treated.
Ile does not give credit to the report of the capture or
destruction of the Turkish fleet by the Greeks." There-
fore, bee-rinse " the Greek account is not believed at Mil-
ford," all that part of the London press which gives credit
to the account must be " played upon " for fraudulent
purposes. We reverence the talents of this writer, which
are exactly upon a level with his integrity. Ile acts
up to his character well, in associating himself with Cobbett.
Noacit.r a .c.cio. Why did he give his fellow-labourer
that unkind cut, the other day, by his allusion to the
Gridiron ? Let us see, however, how the evidence of the
Milford correspondent—such as it is—applies to the ques-
tion. Ipsara :vas; taken on the 3d of July : four days after-
wards the vessel now at Milford passed through the Turkish
fleet off that island : the work of destruction had been con-
summated, as the Capitan Paella believed, am, he was
return:l:g to Mitylene to refit. The Greek account is, that
twenty-four hours after he had departed, the Greek flotilla
cone up( it the unprepared garrison left by the Turks. and
destroyed them ; but the destruction of the Capitan Paella's
fleet at Mityleue was not effected until die night of the:
511(th of July, when the naval hero, Canaria, fired it in the
reads of Kitylene. The successes of the Greeks are con-'I
firmed by every fresh arrival from the Levant. We do
not understand what object the disparagers of Greece have
in view ; for we arc unwilling to retort their own
charges, and accuse them of following a " regular plan to
deceive the public," by trying to depress the value of
Greek scrip; nor would we impute to them the still more
1 revolting design of corruptly or maliciously aiming to asr7st
i in the perpetration of such horrible atrocities as those of
!Selo and Ipsara, by depriving the Greeks of the sympathy
1 and support of their fellow-Christians in Europe, under thz
pretence that their cause is hopeless.
The same system has been pursued with regard to Sow hi
• I
Am erica. Every time that the successes of the Patriots
have ban announced, fraud and fabrication have been
charged upon the paper that communicated the intelligence.
The Courier of last night reads a useful lesson to these
mischievous prognosticators of evil ; and we cordially join
with that Paper in hoping that "experience may not bed
thrown away upon them." _

The triaLt of flea slaves for the late rebellious disturb.
mums in Jamaica put us in full pusst'sf,ien of the objects of
the ,mispiracy among the nepro.!s, and the means by
which they intended to carry their design into ex,:eution.

the Holy Alliance, yesterday, devoted its leading article to
the task of demonstrating the utter groundlessness of the
notion which it assures its readers is "deeply rooted in a
large class of his Majesty's subjects," that " a man who
has been bit by a mad dog will in turn bite every thi
animate or inanimate that comes in his way." The puldi
will doubtless be deeply indebted to this paper for its
labours in exploding this dangerous error. The Editor
hints also that there is no foundation for the opinion cur-
rent among so many people that the bite of a mad flog has
any tendency to produce " the derangement of their own
precious intellect." We admire the logic of this article not
more than we do its wit. There is an obvious connexion
between the President of the German Diet's speech and the
silly dread of hydrophobia, which the ago.ts of the Holy
Alliance spread, in order to undermine the liberties of
Europe. We sincerely pity the condition of those whose
business it is, in these times of calm content, to find or
make matters of complaint.

The Russian, Portuguese, and I)iiteli Ambassadors,
were clotely engaged yesterday, transacting official business
at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, with Mr. Secretary
Canning. The Dutch Ambassador was occupied two or
' three hours.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to town rester-
day morning from Sudbrooke, the seat of Mr. IVilmot
Horton, and returned in the a' ,moon.
The Ilonot_rable Mr. Bingham arrived yesterday at the
Foreign Office, with despatches from Madrid.
Letters, dated the lath of August, were received yester-
day at the Colonial Office, from Halifax.
Mr. Secretary Canning left town yesterday on his ex-
pected visit to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The Right
Hon. Gentleman goes to Dublin by way of Liverpool. He
will be received in Ireland, we have no doubt, with an en-
thusiastic burst of feeling, such as was never before excited
by the presence of any subject. Mr. Canning, we under-
stand, will stay at the Castle several weeks.
We are very sorry to learn that Sir Astley Cooper,
during his absence freni town on Sunday, met with an
accident to his knee, which at present confines him to the
sofa, although we undi.rstand that the nature of the injury
is such as is not likely to detain him very long from town.
The Vice-Chancellor is so far recovered from his operation
as not to require Sir Astley'a attendance.
In consequence of the expected dissolution of Parliament,
the candidates for seats in the new Parliament are beyond
all precedent. Not only the sons of Nobility, but the
landed and commercial interests, are equally anxious to be-
come nu lathers at the approaching election, which has
occasioned a most extraordinary sensation with persons
who have any interest in boroughs.
Michael Angelo Taylor has taken a beautiful residence
about two miles from Doncaster, where he will entertain a
select party during the race week. Lord Sefton and his
family, Mr. Lambton, and Mr. Creevey, are to participate
in the pleasures of' Mr. Taylor's hospitable board.
Mr. Baron Gatrow's charge to the Jury in the case of
Porter r. Jones, at %Vella, has been the subject of general
conversation and admiration at the bar on the IS'esterri
Circuit. His condensed yet luminous view of the evidence
differing so essentially from the dull, dogged recapitulation
of evidence which is sometimes heard from the Beach, and
the strain cf eloquent indignation in which he animadvert-
ed on the extraordinary scenes of depravity which that
re m trial developed, akt' ated to make that chugge long re-
membered as a judicial chil d'cruvre. At the close of the
trial Mr. Adam was heard to observe to Mr. Baron Gar-

LovaLTy Loa N.—According to the terms made with
the subscribers to this loan in 1797 it was agreed, that this
stcck should be ineeleemable, unless with the consent of
the proprietors, until three years otter the other 3 per cents.
existing at the time the Loyalty Loan was made, should
be paid off. '1 he redemption of the other S per cents. took
place in July, 192.2 ; and it follows, therefore, that the
holders of the 5 per cents. of 1797 may be paid off at par
in July, 9923. But as a good deal of patriotic feeling was
connected with this loan, a still further privilege was con-
ferred o:t the subscribers, which was, that in two years
ester a definitive treaty of peace, they should be entitled to
damn d of Government, either payment at par in money,
or 132/. 6s. Ed. in 3 percent. stock ( quivalcnt to buying
3 per cents. at 75), for every 100/. 5 per cents. of 1797.
The 9 per colts now being at 94, it is clear, that if this
demoal is made by the holders, every 100 of this stock is
worth WU.; while, if the proper period is by neglect
by, they will only get loot. If they wait till the

quainted with the commercial and general concerns of
Mexico, observed lately, in answer to an inquiry as to
Iturbide's probable prospects, that any success of his own
on the Gulf or Atlantic side was out of the question; but,
that by landing at an eligible spot, neartst to Mexico, on
the Pacific side, he would be on his strongest ground us to
friends and general resources, and might by prompt exer-
tion even reach Mexico; after which success would be
doubtful at the hist. If he has adopted this course, the
delay is accounted for.—kaiimore (caper.

The warble bust of the lamented Dr. E. D. Clarke, by

which that celebrated traveller brought from Greece. The
bust bears a more striking resemblance to Dr. Clarke in his
earlier years, than after his constitution had been im-
paired by unremitting application to scientitle pursuits.
With respect, however, to the exquisite beauty of the
sculptor there can be but one opinion, se it not only
equals the other works of Cbantrey, hut adds one more

Ger.eral of the active army :.--
" Moat Excellent Sit,—Penetrated wiqi the most profound grief,
' which is not even alleviated by the consideration that the public in.

your Excellency, the termination of the political plots of this State,

rated in the cite of Topic, by the troops destined to re-establish Or •
der, and to enforce obedience to the laws; this success is of the
highest importance to the consolidation of the legitimate Govern.
most, and of our liberty and independence; but the satisfaction
which the hope of this happy result would produce in my mind. is
embittered by the refixtion that it has been purchased by the brave
and innocent blood of t wo officers and five soldiers, whose exis'ence
I has been sncriticed to the public welfare, to their duty, and to their
country's honour.
" I also deeply deplore the death of a portion of the troop, who,
forgetful of their &Rep:lnce, or seduced by the infamous Garcia, re-
rolled in the above-mentioned city against the public nut:aunties,
and betrayed the interests of the State. to promote the designs of a
criminal. You will find the details of this affair in the report ad.
dressed to me by the Colonel Don Lotis Correa, data! the 23d. and
which I enclose herewith, for. the information of the Executive
Power. -

" 'Pisa leaden of the faction, Garcia, Rosemberg, and others,
who fell into the hands of the said Colonel, will shortly be tried
before a Military Cominirusion, and rnnished conformably to the
laws, and as their great crimes deserve. When I receive advice'
that proceedings have been adopted to this ceixt. I shall imme-
diately transmit them for your Excellency's into:ma:ion, and for
the utisfaction of an indignant nation.

Report addressed to the Most Excellent Senor the G :tweet of the
Active Army, by the Senor Colonel Don Louis Correa. respect-
ing the recent events at Tepie, and the destruction of the rebel
faction in that city.
" Moat Excellent Sin—Tbisday, at eleven o'clock, I approached
to the vicinity of this city, (in coniunction with the rtinforcement
under the orders of Col. Dun Jose 1). Itforellon.) and took up a
position in front thereof, at the Convent of La Cruz. A deputation
of the Municipality came nut to me, and in the course of our con.
ference, assured me that Doc Edwanl Garcia was well prepuce,
and that all was subject to his will. I selected one of the Chiefs
of the Corplat ;on to communicate to hint my intentions, which
were no other than to support all the worthy citizens of Tepic ;
snd, in order to prevent tumult, I charged him to info= me of
everything which might occur, that I might aid theirs by all the
means in my power; he came afterwards to icform me, that all the
Force which was in Tonic was coming out to attack mc, having with
their one piece of artillery.
" I accordingly disposed my fore: to act upon the defensive, and
in tl:is situation they discharged a piece of cannon at us. loaded
with grape ; this determined me to charge them, which we did, and
routed them completely. We succeeded in taking prison:rs Don
Edward Garcia, the sot-dimn, Baron de Rosenberg, and 'Acute-
nant Pedrosa. Among the wounded are, Don Domingo Morales
(nominated by Garcia Commandant of San Bias) the Sergeant
Priseno (made Captain by Garcia) ; and the Patriot Captain Don
Santiago .11ascurgo. The killed amount to seventy or eighty men.
On our side, we have to lament the loss of two officers and five sol-
diers killed, and a f.w wounded ; among the latter is Don Fran-
cisco Arm.

" I have thought fit to parson most of the band who w.re made
prisoners, that is, &^a; the class of -erjeant to that of soldier, in.
elusive. Circunis:ancts dictated this as the most prudete course.
•' I will, as s.ton as rossible, give your Excellency a more cir-
cumstantial narrative of this event ; I can now only assure yon,
that the most exalted courage was manifested on this occasion, and
that all fulfilled their duty as good soldiers.

" your despatch dated half-past eight o'clock on the evening
' of the MI instant, I learn with the greatest satistsction, which the
cause of the country inspires, that you, and the Chiefs, Officers,
and soldiers, under your command, have fulfilled the dudesou
as owe soldiers and citizens, and added another day of trium yph to
our annals, by achieving a conquest over the parricidal children
who, in Tepee, had leagued to subvert their country ; and, al-
though my heart is penetrated with grief at the fate which has de-
prived me of the brave companions who have been sacrificed, I
cannot omit my congratulations upon a victory.of so high import-
ance to the public cause.
" Ile pleased, sir, hereupon, to express to all the division, the
satisfaction with which I cootemplate their intrepid candnct—give
to thcae who compose it, in my name, and on the part of the Su-
preme Government, especial thanks Mr having thus made us their
debtors. With regard to the innocent and worthylvictims of va-
lour and patriotism, whom the fury, resentment, and crimes, of the
moat detestable rebels nave sacrificed, the country will receive with
regard and sorrow the tribute of their existence, and their relatives
and friends will, through all time, meet around the sepulchres
which contain their mortal remains, and, penetmted with the most
tender emotion, strew them with odoriferous llowcrs.

FRIDAY, JUXE 23.
FREE STATE OF JALISCO.
Despatch from the Blest Excellent Senor lion Nicolas Bravo,
General of the Liberating Army, to the Honourable Congress
of Jalisco.
Honourable Congresa,—The conduct of die Oznerals, Don
Quintanar and Don Anasiacio Bustainante. at the time that
they were a; the head of the most important &baits of the State of
Jalisco, has justly excited the attention of the Supreme Powers of
the Confederation, has alarmed the Congristset, and othir Autho-
rities of most of the States, and has produced agitation and dis-
quietude in the minds of all the inhabitants of the nation.
Neither the repeated insinuations of the general Go. ernment, the
clamour of the good, nor innumerable other means which have been
made use of, to keep thent within the path of their duty, have
availed, and thus it becarre imperative upon th 2 Supreme Autho-
rity to leave aside awhile matters of public interest, and in the exer-
cise of their high functions, to dictate just and vigorous measures
respecting them.
To this effect they communicated to me their august detennfna-
dons ; anti, in tue of these, I, on the same night, marched to
this city, to place the said Generals at the di-.position of the Su-
prente authority of the Government, in order that they may answer
Lx their sinister administration in this territory ; and I hasten to
inform the Government of the execution of their instructions, in
order that, as regmls Quintana, they may, if they deem it expe-
dient, proceed to the nomination of a new Governor.
God protect this Hon. Congress many years.
