PROM THE REM TORE PAPIRS.
NEW YORK, JUNE 28.

ME: moo—Accounts from Alvarado, of the 27th ult
confirm the intelligence that the conspiracy at Mexico
in favour of Iturbide had been discovered, and the con-
spirators imprisoned. The Editor of the Baltimore Fe-
deral Gazette, in his paper of Saturday, states, that he
has received, on the best authority, intelligence of a very
agreeable nature relative to Mexico, which had recently
put on a calm and sealed appearance; the passions which
had for some time agitated the country having been
materially if not wholly tranquillized, and the asperities
of party fined down and softened. The general Govern-
ment had become more fixed and powerful, and its ad-
ministration had been placed in the hands of men dis-
tinguished for learning, talent, energy, and a resolute
hostility. to Spanish domination. But what may be con-
sidered as of still greater importance, the finances of
Mexico had assumed a prosperous appearance: a large
loan had been negotiated in England, the terms of
which had been ratified by the Mexican Congress, and
the securities arising therefrom, to a large amount, had
been lodged with a respectable house in the United States.
This, it must be acknowledged, does not offer a very
flattering prospect to the self-created Iturbide, who, we
think, would not have been so rash in embai king in his
new enterprise had he been aware of the situation of
his friends, or of the flourishing condition of public
affairs under the management of the present Govern.
meat. The step he has taken, even though approved of
by the Holy Alliance, cannot fail to prove abortive,
when it is considered that it is the interest of Great Bri-
tain to oppose every attempt to bring about a change.
Not only have the capitalists of England embarked vast
sums of money, but her merchants have formed such
extensive connexions with Mexico, that the Government
will consider it incumbent on them to guard these inte-
rests, by counteracting, which they possess the power to
de, every attempt to excite a civil war in that country.
LIBIA.—The following is an extract of a letter from
Capt. W. Wheelwright, of Newbury port, dated Guaya.
quil, March 18 v—" I left Lima in the hands of the Spa-
niards. They entered the city, 5,000 strong, on the
25th ult. the handful of Patriot soldiers retreated before
them. All was quiet, foreign property was respected,
and no excesses committed. What will be the event of
these things it is impossible to say. The Spanish army
is formidable; bat if Bolivar has time to get his troops
from Venezuela, he will be successful ; but should the
Spanish army press hard upon him before the reinforce-
ment arrives, he will be compelled to retreat."
PIRATES.—It is now ascertained that the piratical
schooner lately carried into Honduras, and %bleb was
reported to have been owned in the United States, is a
West Indian built vessel, commanded by a Canadian
Frenchman, whose papers represented her as belonging
to St. Thomas's. The vessel has been condemned, and
the crew, 12 in number, sent to the West Indies for
trial. It having been suspected that this was not the
whole of the pirate's complement, an armed party pro.
ceeded to one of the Keys, where they succeeded in
making 11 men prisoners, one of whom, a negro, turned
King's evidence, and stated that the vessel he belonged

tion of the new Reptsblic, formed of the provinces of
Nicaragua, Honduras, San Salvador, Costarica, Guati-
rmala, Queseltenango. Three citizens are at the head
of the ProvisiFmal Government, who take turns in pre-
siding, by months. A Government is to be established
similar to our own. There is a standing army of 1,500
men, and a militia of 80,000. There are no troops of
Spain within the country. The population of the six
provinces is said to exceed a million and a half, and
that of Chiapas which is about to join in the confedera-
tion, has 300,000 more. The Ambassador, who has
lately come to this country, has brought out a plan of
the canal to unite the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, in
a distance of five or six leagues.
COLOMBIAN REPUBLlC.—Accounts from Caraccas of
the 27th of May state, that the Churches in that city
had been illuminated for a number of successive even-
ings, in consequence of his Holiness the Pope having
formally recognized the independence of Colombia.
JULY I.—The following vessels of war, are now
equipping for sea with all possible dispatch—to wit,
North Carolina, 74., Commodore Rogers ; Constellation,
44, Commodore Macdonough; Hornet, 22, Captain
Kennedy; Ontario, 22, Captain Nicholson; Shark, 12,
Lieutenant Stevens; Porpoise, 12, Lieutenant Skinner;
store-ship Decoy, Lieutenant Gamble.
The Neu) York Gazette of the Ist of June, alluding
to the naval preparations in the American ports, ob-
serves—" This number of vessels will, of course, have
various destinations, part for the coast of Africa and
the Mediterranean, and others for the West Indies; and.
the line-of-battle ship, possibly, for the Atlantic and
Pacific Coast of South America. The political state of
the Brazils, and that of Peru, are far from being settled
or satisfactory ; and it can do no harm that the flag of
the United States should be shewn in the seas conti-
guous to those counuies, and particularly under the
guidance of such an officer as Captain Rogers."
PRIVATE LETTER.
CAR ICCA Si MARCH 30. 1824.—From observations
and information, I am enabled to present you with the
ing information respecting this country. In
viewing the troops in La Guayra and this place, I was
surprised to observe so few whites amongst them. I
have found them principally composed of blacks and
mulattoes, and many of the officers of the same class.
In some regiments, I do not believe there is one white
in forty or fifty. The chief part of the coloured popu-
lation, I understand, is confined to the provinces on the
sea coast, amongst whom there are many slaves. The
rations of the soldiers are twelve and a half cents. per
day, and there is scarcely a day but they are offering
Government obligations for their pay, for sale. This
paper is sold from thirty to fifty per cent. discount,
and is bought by merchants who have duties to
pay in the Custom-house, where one half of the
amount is payable in this paper, the other in cash.
The Government has agreed to receive half of the duties
in this paper; but in consequence of which, they have
made a demand on the merchants to lend them 25,000
dollars per month. The principal object of this mea-
sure appears, not to pay debts due to individuals, but to
pay the soldiery. The Government paper that I have
seen offering has been by officers, and I cannot say
positively whether it be only issued to them or the sol-
diers generally. The authorities must consider it very
essential to keep the troops contented, particularly when
they consider the class of which they are composed.
I have seen mulatto officers as high as Colonel, and
one who is a Member of the Congress, a very dark
mulatto. Tilt Aid-de-camp of General Paez, I under-
stand, is black.
The troops I have seen appear well disciplined. I
have seen nothing like a muster of militia since I have
been in the country, and the arms appear to be solely in
the hands of the regulars. Of the manners and customs
of the people, I must say I am far from being pleased
with them; but my present limits will net admit of my
dilating on this subject.

GREECE.
-•.1•••••-•

The last Numbers of the Greek Chronicle published
at Missolonghi, contain two curious letters : the first ad-
dressed by a Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish army
to Panourias, the Greek General of Livadia ; the second
is the answer of that General. They are as follow :
" The Vizir Mohammed Emin Pacha, by the grace of Gon, Ge-
neralissimo of Romelia, Commandant of the Defiles, Seraskier
Plenipotentiary, &c. &c. (The impression of his seal is here
affixed).
" Honourable Captain Panour jag, and the Civil Chief-
tains of Salona, and the other Kayos (subjects)—after
greeting you, we beg leave to inform you, that it is con-
trary to our good wishes, and with the most lively emo-
tions of heart that we see that the evils of war, and the
constant misfortunes which fur three years have fallen,
and still continue to fall on you, have not served as a
lesson to you, to induce you to abandon your errors,
and put an end to those efforts at rebellion, and obtain,
by our intervention, the clemency of our most puissant
and happy Emperor, in order that you may live hence-
forward, after the example of all civilised people, under
the shadow of his imperial protection. Two things un-
fortunately, appear to agitate you, and divert you from
returning to a salutary repentance. You hope by per-
severance to fatigue, in the first instance, the forces of
his Highness, and thus to succeed in a project as im-
practicable as it is silly and indiscreet under all circum-
stances. The longer you continue in pushing forward
your criminal enterprise against a power so imposing
as that of our Sovereign, the more you irritate his an-
ger; and by that very means reduce him to the absolute
necessity of redoubling his efforts to bring you into com-
plete subjection, and pull down your arrogance.
44 A second motive which restrains you from receding
from your erroneous councils, is that you are apprehen•
sive lest, at the termination of these evils, which you
have drawn down upon yourselves, the hatred of his
Highness towards you will be implacable. What an
error is this! The clemency and humane sentiments of
his Highness are manifest even to strangers! How
much greater, therefore, will it be towards you who are
his creatures—his EMANETULLAII (a deposit intrusted to
him by Goer.)
ig Banish, therefore, from your minds these mistaken
notions—forsake your errors—repent sincerely, and im-
plore incessantly the boundless clemency of his Highness,
of which I can assure you you will immediately receive
the most manifest testimonies. As for myself, in the
character of Plenipotentiary, I shall most willingly re-
ceive you with open arms, and will feel a paternal care
for your welfare and comfort; and I, from the present
moment, grant you a most perfect and entire amnesty
for all that has. passed.
" Hasten then to give an answer to my letter, and may
my discourse inspire You with salutary sentiments. On
the other hand, you will be responsible before Gon for
the blood of the innocent—for that of the.women and

defenceless children, which must be spilt, and which
must fall on your heads."
ANSWER OF THE GREEK GENERAL.
" Panourias, General of the Supreme Government of the Helle-
nists, wishes much happiness to Blahommed Benin Bache.
66 I have' received the letter of the 3d of this month,
which you did me the honour to address to me and the ,
other chiefs of Salona. On your arrival in a province
bordering on that in which I held command, with plea-
sure I heard you spoken of as a man superior, by the
nobleness of your sentiments, to the Turkish Generals
who preceded you ; and it is with the most lively feel-
ings of regret, that on reading your letter, I find it ne-
cessary to declare, in thinking thus of you I fell into
error. In that letter, you speak of the miseries which
the Greeks have caused the Mussulmans to suffer ; these
miseries can never be compared with those with which
you for a long period of time have overwhelmed the
Greeks. As to those misfortunes which you say our
war will 'entail upon us, they are to us so many plea-
sures. Become hardened and enduring as we are by the
privations and the fatigues to which your iron rule has
rendered us habituated, we find our present position a
fortunate one ; it is only to men enervated by effeminacy
that it could appear wretchetl.
" As to our revolution, we have not engaged in it, as
you seem to believe, without due consideration of" its
consequences. It was not till after a patient expecta-
tion of four centuries, for your Government to mitigate
the rigours of its tyrannical conduct, that we adopted
this resolution. But at length, convinced of your in-
corrigibility, we have raised the sacred standard of the
Cross—hastened unanimously to arms—broken the
yoke of tyranny, and delivered our country, which was
in a state of suffering fur four centuries. All civilized
countries have hailed our exertions in a noble and ge-
nerous enterprise. Moreover, it is an error on your
part to treat us as rebels. This name should only be
given to those who raise their arms against a legitimate
Sovereign, who governs his subjects with justice. Your
Emperors had time enough during four centuries to
change their conduct. You only make concession where
it is no longer opportune for us to admit of it. The
Greeks have established a legitimate Government,
which they cherish and will protect, and under which
they are enjoying rational liberty, breathing the air of
independence. They no longer pay attention to the pro-
positions of the Divan, which a long experience has
taught them to regard as stories told to amuse children.
66 With respect to the 6 boundless clemency of his
Highness,' the Greeks are too long satiated with it, and
they have not the least craving for it at the present mo-
ment ; his Highness may go and dispose of it most gra-
ciously elsewhere. Further, I would ask, what are the
wrongs with which the Greeks ought to reproach them-
selves, as regards you, and for which you say we stand
in need of some great clemency? We have not spilled
the blood of innocent Turks, while you were causing
torrents to flow from onr defenceless bosoms. It is,
then, without any reason, that pretended cruelties on
the part of the Greeks—cruelties which existed only in
the imagination of their enemies, have irritated the;
anger of your Soveteiga—which, however, is not of
the least consequence, nor does it at present concern
the Greeks. _ _

- -
le Since, however, you wish to be made acquainted
with the sentiments which at this moment animate the
Greeks, I shall hasten to inform you of them in a few
words. The Greeks are firmly convinced that they are
merely commencing to fulfil an important duty imposed
on them by that noble origin which they derive from
their illustrious ancestors, who have civilized the world,
and inspired so many nations with the love of liberty.
They will no longer endure the state of being tributa-
ries—they will have a full and perfect independence,
and, in order to obtain it, they do not ask what is the
number of the enemy, but where is it—where is there
open to them a new field of glory P—They think they
behold before them their ancestors admonishing them
incessantly of their duty, besides an innumerable multi-
tude of Christians unjustly slain, whose blood cries to
Heaven for vengeance. These are the sentiments
which animate the Greeks, with which you may ac-
quaint your Emperor. In case the Turkish Govern.
me. may have henceforward any communication to
make, it should address itself to the Greek Government
alone, whose existence is recognized by all Powers who
hold any relations with this country. As for myself, I
shall only receive such letters from you as may relate
to particular or personal affairs, and to which I shall
be prompt in giving an answer."
