MEXICO.

A daily paper, entitled the fracete Diario de Mexico, has
been established at the city of Mexieo. Its first number
was issued on the first day of June, ii is intended to be the
official organ of government, in the promulgation of its
orders, and the publication of the laws. The prospectus,
in showing the imponalre of general knowledge, and
tia familiafity with the *mace kr* principles of govern-
ent, contains this masa q'be citizen of the United
States of North Amend divides his cares between the
interests.of business and commerce, and the affairs of the
Republic, which are to enrich his country. and secure his
rights and liberty. All aspire to an acquaintance with the
Iptintiplea of legislation and policy, as they may be called,
$t some day, to a seat in the General Congress or State
Assemblies, or to guide the reins of Government, for the
good of their fellow-citizens?'
This journal df the Nth of June contains the following
reflections on the American Confederation. "No en-
lightened American, dwelling on the present, and ex'tend-
ing his views Into Intl:Sty, can for one moment doubt the
importance ofit Congress of the independent States of the
new world. Wetvill, for *melees, express the opinion of
one whose talents and experience are universally acknow-
ledged in both hpfnispheres—the President Liberator of
Colombia. His ricellency, as Chief of Peru, is deeply
interested in the eltrly meeting of the Deputies ; and in a
note to Vice-Presidenttantander, expresses his hope, " that
Colombia will not fail to titles last step towards the esta-
blishment of her glory."

The French fleet, consisting of nine sail, from Haven-
nab, have arrived in the Chesapeake.
Letters front Madrid of the goth August state, there was
a Council held there of the Ministers, at which the governor
of Castile and the superintendent of the police assisted,
since which it was remarked that nutnerons arrests took
place every night. The Ex-Intendant of the police, Rufino
Gonzales, has been arrested, and sent with a strong escort
to Pampeluna.
By the Turkey mail yesterday, accounts were received
from Smyrna to -the stb, and from Constantinople to the
11th ult. They contain no intelligence which can be re-
lied upon from the Mores. One of the letters states that
'the Turkish forces have possession of every important point
with the exception 'of Missolonghi and Napoli di Romania.
An engagement between the Greek and Turkish fleets was
anticipated, and the report says, that instructions were
given to the Turkish commander instantly to put the
question to issue by attacking the Greek fleet.
A letter received yesterday from Zante, dated August 6,
cqntains the following partiet!lfis or the Vella' of Mis-.
songhi by the Greek fleet : His Majesty's:4llp Chan-
ticker came in yesterday, soon after the Turkish fleet had
passed. She was off Missolonghi with them, and reports
trail bat the Greeks behaved Leos gallantly, and completely
, frightened the Turkish fleet this quarter. They sue-
ceeded in gettfrig to windward f the Turks, and had oot
the wind failed, they would have burnt the grestelt part
of them. The Turks no sooner saw the fire-ships, than
they took to flight. The Greeks upon this went into Mis-
solonghi, and sunk one brig and burnt a schooner. They
have, of course, relieved that place, and it is the general
opinion that the dispersion of the army off Missolonghi
will be the consequence of this very fine manoeuvre. We
tray of course expect all the particulars of the state of that
place in the course of the day. The 'furks were met to the
eastward of this island by about a dozen sail of Greeks, who
were on their way to join the others. They appear to
have two or three fire-ships with them. The Turks took
no notice of them, and the wind was against the Greeks
making use of their fire-ships."
It is reported in the City, that on Saturday some Gen-
tlemen attached to the Russian Embassy waited on the
Greek Deputies for the first time, and stated that certain
obstacles having been removed, the Court of Russia might
be expected to interfere in favobr of the Creeks. We give
the report without at all pledging ourselves for its accu-
racy, of which we entertain considerable doubts.—Slur.

The British frigate Phaeton, Capt. Stuart, !having on
board Mr. Vaughan, his Britannic Majesty's Minister to the
United States, came into the Chesapeake Bay on Tuesday
last (August 9), and has before this, no doubt, arrived at
Annapolis, where he was expected to lend.—Philadelphia

THE FRENCH GOVERNXENT AND THE JESUIT!.-King'
readers will have seen by our _extracts from the French
Rapiers, that the Royal Court of Orleans has sent for judg-;
meat to the Tribunal of Correctional Police the Cure Ber-
geron, accused of an outrage to the memory of Louis XVIII.
aptl.his present 'Majesty Charles X. in having from the
pulpit condemned them to eternal damnation, the one for
being the author of the Charter, and the other for having
sworn to maintain it. His Most Christian Majesty then
can no longer escape from the audacity of fanaticism !
The tree must bear its Own fruit. The annals of the
world attest, that in all times, when the spiritual power
has made an invasion upon the civil administration of
affairs, it has never stopped half way. If it were
necessary, before admitting the authenticity of this histo-
rical truth, to look into the cause of it, the events of the
present epoch would serve to convince the most incretly-
lous that the position is a correct one. The Army of the
Faith, destined in. 4923 to re-establish the legitimate
power of King Ferdinand in 1525, wishes to restore
that legitimacy -upon the termi dictated by the Spabish
monkish militia. His Catholii Majesty is reduced to the
necessity of reclaiming ,the assistance of his Most Chris
tian Majesty, to aid him in chastising iris rebel Clergy !
and the French soldiers, a second time liberators, are des-
tined to fall by the .poniards of the revolted soldiers, at the
instigation of the Spanish Curates, anh are treated by them
as heretics and envoys from hell. Really it was well worth
while for the French Government to incur the expense of
ap army Of jesuits,• capucins, and missionaries, in order to
procure for itself a bad reputation in the territory of the
holy office ! Happy, thrice happy, are those commies go-
verned by the witeloni and foresight of Sovereigns who know
how to suppriss in their of igin those attempts which sooner
or later bring in their train such lamentable results !
