[MORNING POST.]
MR.WAITIIMAN AND THE LIFE GUARDS.—We
find that our information yesterday was correct,
and that Earl Bathurst has condescended to an-
-swer Mr. Waithman's letter. The worthy She-
riff has also replied, and from the nature of that
reply, it is evident that he would have been
much more gratified by unbroken silence on the
part of the Noble Earl, than by the mark of dis-
tinction which he has received. His Lordship
has indeed placed the poor Sheriff in-a lament-
able Situation. He has convicted him, out of his
own letter, with having permitted a mob to re-
main in a continued state of riot, when the Civil
Power under his direction was fully adequate
(as Mr. Waithman himself stated) to its suppres-
sion. The Sheriff seems perfectly astounded
by this recoil of his own weapon, and can find
no better mode to escape from the dilemma
into which he has brought himself, than by
supposing that the Noble Earl alludes to some
-other riot which took place at a later period, and
-of which he knew nothing. Unwilling, however,
to own his defeat, he musters all his resolution
to repeat the unfOunded charge of, aggression.
•against the Life Guards, which he proffered
at an evil hour, and which he never could con-
scientiously believe. We thought we had suf-
ficiently refreshed his memory on this important
point, but as we find that partial elucidations are
not sufficient to disperse the thick darkness of
his mind, or to thaw the rigid obstinacy of his
will, we shall no longer have recourse to argu-
ments and deductions from facts with which we
are privately acquainted.

Here follows a plain narrative, materially differing from
that of .Mr."lVArrnm.lN, and on which •We own we place
mere dependence than on that of the latter ; but as the subject
is under full-discussion in the proper place, and will be legally
decided hereafter, we do not deem it proper for insertion in
OM paper.

We have received advices from the Mediter-
ranean to a late date. An arrival at Cadiz from
Mexico mentions, that ITURBIDE was making
great progress in Mexico, and that General Cnuz
had-capitulated in Guadalaxara ; Colonel IlEviA,
'we, already knew, was killed ; and the Insur-
gents were in possession of the whole 'of Vera
Cruz.—From Mogadore the accounts are to the
9-oth of July, at which time there was a partial
tranquillity, which, however, was not expected
to continue. Mogadore itself was comparatively
healthy ; but in Morocco generally the disorder
had made great ravages, though it was not known
whether it was the plague or the fever.—Lord
STBANGFORD bad made some representations to
the SUBLIME PORTE in favour of the British sub-
jects in the Ottoman Empire, to which his Ex-
cellency had received this favourable reply, that
" the necessary orders had been repeated to the
Officers concerned, to protect with unceasing
.vigilance all subjects, merchants, and Franks,
who belonged to friendly powers, but especially
to the Court of England."—lt is said, that his
Excellen,cy had left Constantinople, and had
arrived at Corfu, with Lady STIIANGFORD, for
the benefit of her Ladyship's health.—(Mid.)
