the new Government. One decree declares,

That the coronation of Don Augustin de Iturbide being
an act of violence and force, and not a work of right, there is

is call for any discussion on the abdication which be makes of

the Crown.

That likewise, consequently, the hereditary succession, and
Ctles etn.stiating from that coronation, are declared to be an-
and all the acts of the Government, passed between the
'ntS of May and the 29th of last March, are pronounced illegal,
or, at most, subject to the revisal of the actual Government for
their being confirmed or revoked.
That the executive supreme power shall hasten the departure
of Don Augustin de Iturbide, in a neutral vessel procured at the
arose of the State, for conveying him with his family to the
place he may choose.
That the sum of 2.5,000 dollars, payable in this capital, be
annually assigned to Don Augustin de Iturbide during his life,
ce the condition that lie may establish his residence in any part
of Italy; and that after his death his family shall receive 8,000
dollars, under the rules established for the pensions from the

military fund.
That Augustin de Iturbide shall hold the appellation of Ex-
cellency.
A second Decree alters the Arms of Mexico, and decrees, that
the shield must be the Mexican Eagle, standing on the
kit foot upon a nopal, or cochiucal hg-tree, which may grow
from a rock among the waters of the lake, and with the right
foot grasping a snake and holding it in a posture for tearing it to
Tikes with the beak ; and that this blazon must be bordered
with two branches, th: one of laurel, and the other of oak, ac-
cording to the design adopted by the first defenders of the In-
dependence.
The national flag undergoes no other alteration than that of
stripping the crown front the eagle. The word national is sub-
stituted for imperial, in all the public establishments; and it is
decreed, that every one must beheld u a traitor, who shall an-
solace the said Don Augustin de Iturbide with acclamations
flassj, or who shall be influential in any other mode, in recom-
mending him as Emperor.
Friday, the Speedwell steam packet, while on her
icay from Newcastle to Shields, struck on an anchor,
near Wallsend, and was nearly upset. The vesset
suffered considerable damage, and the water gaining
fast upon her, the passengers, about 40 in number,'
became seriously alarmed. Boats having been pro-
cured without delay, they were soon relieved from
their perilous situation, and in about ten minutes the
packet sunk. She was extricated, however, the fol.
lowingtide. •
The Marlborough packet arrived at Falmou4l on
Friday last, in ten days from Lisbon. While the
•lariborougli lay in the Tagus, a Mr. Whithall, once
in good circumstances at Falmouth, but from mis-
fortune compelled to go to sea again, and then on
board the packet, was sent fur to the police-office;
"here he had no sooner arrived, than he was hurried

away to prison, a perfect dungeon. The reported I
charge against this unfortunate Englishman is, that
he carried a letter from an ex-member of the Cortes,
who had escaped to Falmouth, to his friends in Lisbon.

the Green Man Assembly Room. After which, up-
wards of two hundred Medical Gentlemen sat down
to a most excellent dinner (at the above Tavern).

wines, gave universal satisfaction.
A laughable incident occurred while the Clerk of

Earl's, answered " Here be I."—lt appeared it was
