and the wind and sea had increased to a tre-

it became necessary In throw the gurus overboard

Thr; latest news from Mexico, received in Ilatin-

thence, states the arrival, on the 11th of November.
of the Spanish ships of *or Aria. of 64 guns, and
Diarnaale frigate, from Vera Cruz. after seventeen
days' passage, having on board his Excellency
Arouses, Count del Venidito, the Ex-Viceroy of
Mexico, and Isis family, with a great number of
other passenger., and specie and valuables to the
amount of eighteen millions of dollars : the Asir
brought tout millions of dollars. Vera Crux hull
been evacuated, and garrisoned by the Indepen-
dents; but the Governor. Don Jose DAVIJ.Ay.
Mariscal Campo, had retreated into the Castle of
St. Juan de Ulus, with between three sod four hun-
dred men, having previously disarmed the
tants of Vera Crux. He was determined to defend
the fortress until lie had orders from Madrid hoo•
to act. The King's late Lieutenant, St. Alttl4. note
in the Indepeadent service, was drily expected there
with 700 men from Orizaba. With this trifliug ex-
ception the kingdom of Mexico. with its annual re-
venue of six millions of dollars, are lost to Spoilt.
The Governor of the Havauush was preparing at.
expedition of 400 men to send to the relief ut.
Don Jon WYMAN. The late new Viceroy of
Mexico died, it is supposed by poison, a few dart:
after he signed the Treaty, in the Villa Cordova,
with the Independent Chief YTURBIDE. He had
only arrived there about two months from Old
Spain, in the Asia. It was expected that YTVR-
SIDE would be immediately elected Emperor of
Mexico : in the KING's service he was Colotsel of
the regiment Valladolid : there being an insturec.
lion in Ampule°, in February lint, the Viceroy
sent him with a force to quell it, but, on his arri-
val. he and all the troops declared against their
KING. Acapulco had declared its independency.
and two Spanish frigates were, by the latest ac-
counts, lying there, having declared for the New
Government of Mexico.

The Independents appear to he in quiet posesessioa
of the whole of Costa Firms. Carthagena had
been given up on terms honourable to the Spani►h
army, and Totten, the Ex-Governor, had ai-
rier& with his garrison, at St. Jago de Cuba.
The coast of Cuba, and neighbouring seas, had
been very much infested by pirates. The U►,itedd
States' brig Enterprise had captured four of these
marauders, and re-captured their prize, the ship
Lurie, of New York; the former had been earlier!
to New York, the latter sent into the Havannas,.
His Majesty's ship Parthian. Captain LLOYD, ar-
rived there from Omoa sad Truxillo, en the 17t1►
November, and was to proceed to Jamaica the day
after the Ourario sailed.
In Havannah, we are informed, things appeared
in a very gloomy way. Trude was perfectly at a
stand, each man being afraid to intrust his nearest
relations with his sentiments; ■ll appeared hushed
to foreboding stillness. An insurrection of the ne-
groes was projected, headed by some Priests ; it
was discovered, however, early in November, just
in time to prevent a recurrence of the St. Domingo
scenes of butchery. There are three political par-
ties in Havanush—the Cubanese, who want inde-
pendence and a republic; the second are friends of
the present system; the third are for the old re-
ginse. These parties are kept in awe by the mu-
lattoes and blacks, who form nearly two-thirds
the population.
