(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 28.—A general subject
of conversation in the suburb of Pera is the very ex-
traordinary honour with which the new British Mi-
nister (Sir Robert Gordon) is received by the Go-
vernment. Undoubtedly Count Guilleminot has
not been seen with less satisfaction; but he has been
received and treated like an old friend whose up-
righ'ness is well known, and who is esteemed for his
private character, though there may be some dis•
trust respecting the intentions of the Ministers who
send him. Whereas the successor of Mr. Strat-
ford Canning is a new friend who must he gained,
and who comes with claims to the favourable opinion
of the Turkish Government, for he has already en-
deavoured to repress, in the name of his Govern-
ment, the pretensions of the new Greek States.
This partiality for the English Ambassador was
observed the very day after his landing.

(From the Gazette d? France, July 28.)
We find in a journal the following paragraph :
" Mahmoud, it i 3 said, has rejected the protocol of
the 22d of March, as he had rejected all the other
propfmils made to him."

The object of the convention of the 6th of July
was to prevent a rupture between Russia and
Turkey ; that of the protocol of the 22,1 of March
is to effect an arrangement between England, France,
and the Porte. The protocol will not obtain its
object any better than the contention of the 6th of
July did. Meantime the English Cabinet places no
great dependence on the new negotiations to re.
establish the. peace of the East. It appeays to be
preparing for other events : its naval force assumes
an imposing attitude in the Mediterranet►n. Already
six ships of the line are in the roads of Smyrna, there
are two others at Malta, two at Corfu, and it is
affirmed that by the beginning of April there would
be 18 assembled in those seas. It may be supposed
that this considerable armament is not collected to
make the Sultan listen to reason. Undoubtedly the
Cabinet of London will do every thing not to break
the peace; hut if Constantinople were threatened,
it is to be presumed that its fleet would not remain
a mere spectator of the rapture of that city.

SECOND EDITION.

some of the morning papers announce, under the
form of an on (lit, that the Porte has already rejvcted
the protocol of the 22d of March, relative to the
affairs of Greece. This news appears to us to he
destitute of probability. How can it be imagined
that the Porte can have taken such a resolution be-
fore the Ambassadors who have arrived at Con-
stantinople hare had their solemn audience, which
had not taken place at the date of the last letters
from that capital ?

SPANISH EXPEDITION AGAINST

MEXICO

PROCLAMATION.

" INHABITANTS OF NEW SPAIN !—A long arid
painful experience ought to have convinced you that
the hallucinations which, under the colour of liberty
end independence, seduced the most incautious
among you, possessed no other object than to sa-
tiate the ambition of those who dictated them, and
give a free rein to every description of excess, with-
out caring for the lamentable fare which must fall
upon the unhappy country wherein they had birth.
The ancient and sacred ties which united you with
the mother country were broken by wickedness
and treason ; and eight years are about to close,
during which not a single moment have you en-
joyed of that inestimable tranquillity and blessed
abundance which formed your happiness for three
centuries. At times subject to the rule of a
fantastic empire, at others in the midst of
anarchy, by you called freedOm, never have you
known other than disturbances, rumours, per-
secutions, and general misery. For the venerable
customs taught you by your fathers, being displaced
by the new order of things, caused von, in the ge-
neral perturbation between the two, to attempt ac-
quiring the name of philosophers, but you were
dashed against the awful rocks of immorality and ir-
religion. Wherever one may cast an eye upon your
country, distinguished by nature with so maNysignal
favour., nothing is to be seen but the mournful ef-
fects of that frightful destruction, which perfidy on
one part, and imprudence on the other, introduced
through all parts of the social edifice. Hierarchies
and ranks have been confounded; the Ministers of
the Altar abused; the divine worship of the Re-
deemer of the human race forgotten, and perhaps
scoffed at; and in their place secret associations
have been authorised and protected, in whose black
and heretical synod nothing but sin has been plotted.
Your roads, and towns, and cities, waylaid by out-
laws—your filthy population left disordered and
frantic—and to induce whom to enter into the ephe-
meral plans which every day arose from your sense-
less Governors, you have been allowed to accustom
yourselves to sack, pillage, assassinate, and practise
every irregularity. What exists now of that pacific
country, model of Christianity, and worthy imitation
of European Spain in the practice of all virtues ?
" Amid so many misfortunes, aad when a terrific
catr'strophe was about to crown, without doubt, the
work of iniquity, a Spanish army presents itself upon
your shores, more desirous to reconcile your minds,
and re-establish order, than to gather laurels in the
field of honour. The august Monarch who sent
them is your Monarch also ; whatever may have been
the changes posterior to the month of September
1821, in which a crowd of insubordinate soldiers,
availing themselves of peculiar circumstances, dared
to proclaim rebellion in the name of independence,
never has his Majesty loosed the incontestible right
inherited from his progenitors—never has the
grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella ceased to he the
legitimate Sovereign of the country of New Spain,
which those renowned Kings and their successors
discovered and conquered ; which the Crown of
Spain by constancy and every description of sacri-
fice, illumined with the sacred torch of the Holy
Evangelists; and to which you owe your civiliza- '
tion, the arts, and whatever may distinguish you
from the savages who yet occupy parts of the interior
of your country.
" It is your brothers who go to suffocate the in-
famous monster of anarchy, and to restore you all
the blessings which your fathers and you yourselves
have enjoyed during the long series of 300 years ;
we are one people; our religion, our language, and
our customs are the same. Far be from us all idea
of rancour and feeling of vengeance for past griev-
ances—there shall be an entire oblivion of the past,
without exception of persons, ranks, or circum-
stances; and it shall be the fundamental basis of all
the operations of the army to continue in their
stations or employments, whether civil, military, or
ecclesiastical, all those who may obey the voice of
their Sovereign, and also to award them such re-
compenses and remunerations as they may become
entitled to by contributing to the noble object we
propose.

" In the Royal name of his Majesty Ferdinand
VII., and complying with his Sovereign orders, I
offer to you, Mexicans, and repeat, that a thick veil
shall be thrown over the occurrences of the past
eight years, and no one in any manner be persecuted
or molested, whatever may nave been his political
opinions and conduct during that unfortunate period;
this being expressly the wish of his Majesty, who
from his Royal '1 nrone has looked with eyes of
compassion upon the misfortunes and calamities of
his beloved sons of New Spain. Only a peremp-
tory necessity will oblige the army to employ force
against those who may dare to disregard their
n tranquillity their
duties; all others shall enjoy i
