NEW ORLEANS) JAN. 12.—8 y the arrival yes..
terday of the schooner George IVoshington, front
Vera Cruz, we have Mexican advices to the 28th
ult. (which are translating.) Emperor Iturbide„
having determined on capturing the Castle of St.
John, had marched his army as far towards Yelra.
Cruz as Xalapas, about 60 miles distant, when.
his advance was arrested by a republican army
under Generals Lopez and Guadaloupe Victoria.
Some small affairs had taken place between them,
but no considerable battle ; and several hundred.
of the imperial troops had passed over and
joined the counter-revolutionists.

The Republican Chiefs addressed a letter to

Iturbide, assuring him they had no hostile views,
against his person, but against his measures—
they tell him he has mistaken the will of the
Mexican nation, who will not be ruled by a
despot, but are determined to be governed by
fixed laws. If he will throw off his crown and
become again a private citizen, they will not
only respect him, but pledge themselves to pro..
tect him in life and liberty. But there must be
no throne in Mexico, and they have sufficient
bayonets to carry their resolution into effect, &c..

Uniustly turned out should forthwith resume' their employ-

engagement, Gentlemen, I enter into in your presence.' .Al-

Stith and so similar are the professions in both these docu-

the resources of one great nation in feeding the
