IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
Office of the Bee, New Orleans, Jan. 14.
" We have just been informed by the schooner Frances,
from Tampico, that President Guerrero was obliged to
leave, Mexieo on account of the disturbance's which had
occni.red for the change of Government."
In addition to the above, the Baitimore American

TAMPICO,
JAN. 2. 1830.
An expressed arrived ve.terday
from the city of Mexico,
which brought the following statement, under date of the
23d ult.—Last night a yrito was giren in this city in favour
of Busitamente's plan, which has proved most decidedly
successful. The Government was obliged to surrender the
palace at about six o'clock this morning, and is completely
overthrown. A commission, consisting of three persons,
Louis Quintana, Lucas Aleman, and Velez, are named to
exercise the executive power until the arrival of Busta-
mente from Puebla. The Ministers will be immediately
named, but it is not yet known who they will be. The
revolution was effected without any of the violent excesses
'abut year; some attempts at a saque were made by the
LePeroa, but *ere immediately prevented by the good be-

owing to the new Empress, who. is a warm friend of
Brazil. She is much liked, is said to be a woman of ta-
lents, and to have great influence over the Emperor. This
is considered a death-blow to the Portuguese interest; and
particularly so if Martin Franci.co should accept, the
Treasury Department, which, it is said, has been offered
him. All speak in high terms of kis patriotism, financial
and business talents; under his guidance a great change
would take place for the better, nothing but good manage-
ment being required to restore the currency in a few years
to its original value.

Brussels Papers of Saturday last have been
received this morning, from which we make the
following extracts :

BRUSSELS, FE8..24.
The Pilot Board is already making preparations to send
down the river a boat to examine the shoals, which will
doubtless be found to Lave shifted, from the operations of
the ice; buoys will be placed, and if the weather remains
as it is, we may hope to see our rich fleet of merchantrnt n
amounting to between SO and 100 sail, arrive in six or
eight days.
P. S.—The Pilot-boat is to go to Flushing this even-
ing (the 23(1). It is therefore possible that the ships may
arrive on Ft iday or Saturday.
(From the Journal dAnvers.)
We learn from the Hague, that the sections of the
Second Chamber of the States-General have been latterly
engaged in discussing the answers of the Government to
their observations on the Code de procedure Crintinelle.
It is said that the new awl reiterated observations of the
Sections have been transmitted to the Government.
(From Le Beige.)

FF.B. 25.—Up to Monday last the prisoners in the Petits
Carmes were interrogated daily at great length, for the
purpose, if we may believe some persons who are well in-
fiirrned, of discovering who it was that drew. up the pro-
ject of a subscription for the Belgic rent, and whence it
was sent to the Journals, so that they might publish this
project simultaneously. We are assured that nothing
was discovered on the subject. The rigours of their soli-
tary confinement are in some measure relayed ; each of
the prisoners may see every day one of the members of his
family, in presence of M. -Fontenas.
FEB. 26.—The improvements in the King's Palace,
which were suspended in 1828, on account of the residence
of the Court at Brussels, will be immediately resumed.
We learn that the merchants of Rotterdam, who deal in
coffee, will present a petition to the King, requesting him
'.o defer the project of law for laying an additional duty on
coeffe.

ST. PETERSETJEGIi, FEB. 11.
The Commercial Journal of St. Petersburgh, combats
the assertion of another Journal of this city, which has
been copied by several foreign Papers, that if the tariff of
1819, the regulations of which were very moderate, had
remained in force, the Russian Government would have
had sufficient resources to do without the Dutch loan, by
which the interest would have been saved, and the com-
plaints made abroad prevented. The Commercial Jour-
nal asserts, that in consequence of that tariff, the ris-
ing manufacturers are ruined, and that Russia was on
the point of again becoming a merely agricultural state,
without eiviliaation, without consumers, without internal
industry, and without capital ; that indeed the receipts of
Customs bud greatly increased during two years, but only
in consequence of the immense importation of articles of
foreign manufacture, and that soon after there was no sale
whatever for them, the inevitable consequence of the over-
stocking of the market, which leads to certain ruin. The
Journal affirms that public opinion, stigmatising the tariff
as a national calamity, its abolition was necessary, and this
accordingly put an end to all complaints. The Journalist
concludes by owning that the prohibitory system must be
gradually modified.

We have received this morning the Allge.

tents are uninteresting.

It is impossible to read the accounts from the
agricultural and manufacturing districts without
being convinced of the deep distress that per-
vades nearly the whole of the population. While,
however, we admit and sincerely deplore its ex-
istence, we must warn the public not to be led
astray by the delusion running through nearly the
whole of the petitions that are about to be pre-
sented to Parliament, viz., that the remedy is to
be found either in the alteration of our commer-
cial policy, or in a return to an inconvertible
paper currency ; let any man read the October
number of the Edinburgh Review, he will there
see irrefragable proofs of the poverty and misery
into which France is plunged from an adherence
to what is called the Prohibitory System ; her
commercial prosperity has been literally blasted
by her mistaken views of political economy. We
are persuaded that no sensible man can read the
article we have alluded to, without being satisfie I
that a return to our old system of commercial
policy would be ruinous, even if it were practicable
With regard to the other point, the vexata
questio of the currency, we have always been of
opinion that Mr. PEEL'S Bill of 1819 ought
never to have been passed, without a very large
reduction of the national burthens, the existence
of which was the only apology for the Bank Re-
striction Bill ; we think it is not even now too
late by a rigid economy in every department of
the State, or by a tax which shall take the burthen
from the poor man and place it upon the shoulders
of the rich, to accomplish what we then left un-
done. But to repeal the Bill of 1819, in other
words to relieve our embarrassments by an issue
of fictitious paper money, would be the maddest
scheme that Government could devise ; it would
produce a rise of prices, and for a time great
activity in trade ; but afterwards, as sure as fire
burns, the system would recoil upon us, as it
has done on all former occasions, and we should
soon sink in a state of greater exhaustion
than ever. It is therefore with great satisfac-
tion that we observe Mr. PEEL and the Duke
of WELLINGTON to have spoken out boldly upon
these two subjects, for it is of the first impor-
tance to undeceive the public as to the remedies
for our distress.

There is, however, a branch of the subject
relating to the currency, upon which, from the
commencement, we have always expressed some
doubt. We allude to the Bill of 1826, for the
Suppression of the Small Notes, and we confess,
looking attentively at all that has been said and
written on the subject, that the advocates for

this measure have never made out a case for
legislation. * It appears to us •that a Govern-
ment having once fixed upon a standard, and
compelled all people to conform to it, it has
afterwards no right to dictate to individuals in
what denomination they shall lend their credit ;
and that an Act of Parliament to prevent people
from parting with the produce of their labour
for an old hat, or an old shoe, or for pieces of

Herbert's pamphlet.
