CHARLESTON PAPERS.

HAVANNAH, Nov. 3.—By the arrival of the
schooner .llargareita, in fonr days from Campeachy,
news have been received in this city as late as the
25th ultimo from the Mexican capital, and to the
4th instant tom Vera Cruz. These accounts men-
tion the approaching entry of Iturbide into the me-
tro Polis of New Spain, and the nomination of the
individuals vvho were to compose the SupreineJunta
of Government, until the convocation of the Cartes.
IVe have also received a tile of the Iticateco (a pa-
per published at Merida), anti from it we colica
that that province declared itself independent on the
15th of September last, and was determined to
low the hirtunes of the imperial leader of the army
of the Three Guarantees. There is no longer a
doubt that the imperial cause, which has already
reached the banks of the &thine, would extend
through vast and rich provinces to the Isthmus of
Darien, the boundary of the Spanish dominion in
North America, which, in the cause or race of in-
dependence, has, through the cunning of Iturbide
and inquisitorial priests, far outstripped the southern
dominions of the same power in the New NVosld.
Capt. Couthony, late of the brig Aristides, states,
that it was reported that the pirates had captured a
French ship off St. Antonio, and murdered all Ulm
board, including a lady, passenger; and the fact of a
lady's clothes being found on board of one of their
vessels, stained with blood, is a strung confirmation
of the report.

Extract of a letter from La Bahia, Province et
Texas, Sept. I.—" The mail arrived from the inte-
rior this morning •ia St. Antonio. Mexico has not
surrendered, but was still closely besieged, and no
doubt is entertained of its filling into the hands of
the Revolutionists, who were redoubling their ef-
forts. All is quiet in the interior, and the Inde-
pendent Government is firmly established, with the
exception of Mexico, Vera Cruz, and Durango.
The new Government promptly confirmed the pro-
ceedings of the old one, in regard to my grant of
land. It has already furnished me with guides, &c.
fir exploring the country; this labour I shall com-
mence in two t three days."

MONDAY, DECENIBER 10.

The state of Ireland becomes every day more
alarming, and we fear the coercive measures about
to he adopted will not restore her to tranquillity—
Horse, foot, anti artillery may for a moment sup-
press the groan of discontent, but such means will
" scotch the snake. not kill it," and nothing short of
a radical change in the system of oppression under
which the sister kingdom writhes, will make her
people satisfied with their state.
The Union has beggared those who were affluent
—it has drawn away from their native residences
the Nobility and Gentry, by which the money de-
rived from their estates is squandered, fisr from those
whose labour furnishes the funds, and that curse of
Ireland, the Middleman, is introduced to add to the
already overpowering distresses—though a Catholic
country, Ireland is obliged to maintain and pay
tithes to a Protestant Clergy, who not chusing to

resiac among those whom they charitably consider
but little better than barbarians, employ the tithe-
proctors to collect those dues to which none but a
legal claim can be urged—thus is discontent
constantly engendered by oppression, and while
that is the case you may dragoon them into
temporary submission, but will never have them
truly loyal subjects—one may make a child kiss
the rod with which it is chastised, but its enmity
to the party administering the chastisement, is not
less on account of that constrained apparent sub-
mission.

The only way to regain the real esteem of the
Irish nation is, to ameliorate their condition—to
