MEXICO.
to THE 401*1t EXECUTIVE !WHEN OF THE MEXICAN
•TEDERA !lON TO THE NATION.
" Standing in the elevated situation in which, without
merit or claim on our own parts, we have been placed,
and taking from that height a view of the existing cir-
cumstances of the nation, we _cannot refrain from con-
gratulating ourselves on recognizing that the system
ultimately adopted is in general prosperous ; and that,
with the exception of the occurrences and accidents
which proceed from the want of practice and experience,
we observe in the conduct of nearly all the States, a
basis of sincerity, knowledge, and right intention, which
announces and promises that this form of Government
will fiaally be consolidated amongst us, notwithstanding
the obstacles and impediments which are yet opposed
to it in different points of the Federation.
" la fact, there unfortunately exist amongst us a
portion of men, who are born enemies of Republicanism;
who are incapable of being reconejled, or of making
peace with anything but that despotism in which they
place all their hopes; and for the restoration of which
they indefatigably labour, and who would erect their
throne of iron and ignominy on the tomb of freedom.
Collected on different points, they form at each a focus
of hostility and reaction against the system by whi
we ate governed. They contrive and modify' plans,
even seductive plans, but all destructive of order and
liberty. They send forth artful agents, who traverse
the States to make proselytes, and to concert with men
of their own sort. Finally, they circulate printed pa-
pers .!nd manuscripts, more or less calumnious, for the
purpose of throwing discredit on the principal authori-
ties and officers of the Government.
" Fortunately for the Republic, the plans of these
men have been opportunely discovered, and hitherto
defeated; but, animated by an inveterate hatred against
everything wearing the character of liberty, and pledged
to prosecute their designs at all risks, they have, by a
last effort, succeeded in complicating, to a Certain de-
gree, their interests with those of opposing parties; thus
dexterously forming, fora certain time, an alliance with
the enemies of their views and projects. Accordingly,
we have seen them interspersed among those who have
for their subject of declamation that the present system
and our independence are in danger. In this way, the
friends, the paitisans, and strenuous promoters of the
late empire are sudden', eonveited into zealous pa-
triots, active republicans, and decided federalists.
" Fellow-citizens—lt is your liberty is aimed at—
against it all the malignant shafts are directed. The
design is to root it out from our soil. Your independ-
ence, indeed, though constantly opposed, was never
less menaced than now—not for want of good will on
the other side of the Atlantic, but because :he obsta-
cles to the accomplishment of that purpose are con-
stantly increasing. If we thought there were danger of
being again enslaved by our former oppressors, would
we not have solemnly announced that danger to the na-
tion? Would not the cry of alarm have resounded
throughout the whole of Anahuac? Would you not.
have already called fa contributions and extraordinary
resources, in order that we might assume an imposing
attitude against any invader ? No, fellow-countrymen,
it is not invasion which the inexorable enemies of public
order who live amongst us dread. It is true they pro-
claim that apprehension: under that pretext they in-
trigue, alarm, and conspire. We repeat, they do not
now fear becoming the victims of Spain, but they would
be glad to see the empire re-established. They do not
dread foreign despotism, but they are willing to intro-
duce and set up a domestic tyranny. They are not
afraid of being tied to the car of Ferdinand, but they
would gladly see enthroned the idol to which they look
for their own aggrandizement. Do not imagine that it ,
is the public good which excites them; private interest
is their ruling principle; it carries them away and
makes them lose all self•controul.
" Such is the impulse by which these men are
urged hue unbridled license against the Government. 1
Such is the stimulus which instigates them to spare no ,
calumny, however gross and ridiculous, in attacking it
--calumnies by which they hope to bring the Govern-
ment into disesteem, and deprive it of moral force, being
aware that if dining could be excited in the people,
disaffection would follow. Hence they wish for confu-
sion, dissension, or a convulsion—in a word, a civil war;
in order, in the violence of the conflict, when parties
should be most bitterly irritated against each other, to
present suddenly, the tyrant as a saviour—as a point for
rallying around, in the same manner as persons sinking
are glad to catch at anything by which they may hope
to escape the threatened danger.
" For our own part, it has been our good fortune
never to have had any intercourse with the enemies of
our country. Since the event of Dolores, we have con-
stantly been in the ranks of freedom and independence.
Called to govern, we have governed under the laws..—
Some of us have at different times descended from the
supreme command to obey blindly as the lowest soldier..
If these pledges are not sufficient,who can present better
claims to confidence? Can 'those who from motives
of ambition and interest are constantly conspiring ? Can
the Chiefs and Agents of the Imperial Government, who
lacerate the bowels of their country, whose conduct dis-
graces the nation in the eyes of foreigners, and who by
their agitations and re-actions do all they can to weaken
Anahuac, and to invite its ancient dominators to make
it again their prey ?
" Fellow-citizens—You who wish to have a country,
and that that country should prosper and maintain an
honourable name, awaken; do not allow yourselves to
be taken by surprise. On the one hand, you have the
Sovereign National Congress, the Congresses of the re.
spective States, men at the head of the Government
who have never abandoned the cause of the nation ; and
with them are the industrious, the friends of order, and
all good citizens. On the other hand are men who have
done little or nothing for the public good—pretenders
of every class, without and merit—persons who regard
no country, but as it serves their interest—robbers and
assassins by profession. To which side do you turn?
Where ought you to bestow your confidence? For
whom do you decide? Speak ; but in a manner irrevo-
cable;. and let your voice for ever overawe the artful
and malignant seducers.
" For ourselves, already pledged to observe and to
cause to be observed, the Constituent Act, nothing can
induce us to vacillate, or to retrocede from a resolution
to which we have bound ourselves by a solemn oath. If
necessary, we know how to die; but while a breath of
life animates us, we shall exert ourselves to consolidate
the present system; and we will inexorably prosecute,
without distinction of persons, whoever may, directly
tit ectly, attempt to whvert it.

NICOLAS BRAVO, President.

Extract of a letter, dated Mexico, May 26 ;
We have just heard of the disasters in Peru, but we do not
consider them so desperate u they were at first believed. It is to
be t.di that Bolivar will soon have it in his power to dislodge the
armed Royalists, and re-establish the independence of the country.
By the advance of the enemy on Lima, Bolivar has lost none of
his men, who now occupy the strong positions of Trusillo as far u
Hunan. In Guayaquil, the servile party sought to avail them-
selves of the opportunity afforded them by the occupation of Lima
by the Royalists, so as to create a counter-revolution in favour of
Ferdinand; but the Authorities were on the alert, and it was dis-
covered. They inunediately shot six Ormiards, seine Frenchmen,
and one Italian.—The news of this arrived at Tepic by a vessel
loaded with cocoa."

The Moniteur of Thursday contains eight Royal Or-
donnances, re-organising the French Ministry, and,
completing the triumph of M. de VILLELE; for al-
though
several of the Members of the French Ministry li
have changed places, yet the Administration remains
virtually the same, and M. de Vitzits.s still continues
at its head, and maintains his ascendancy. This must
be a severe mortification to Viscomte de CHATEAU..
=Jaw, against when: the door to office is now more
firmly closed than ever ; and, as the French Chambers
have adjourned, the Ex-Minister will have nil means of
opposing his late colleagues, except through the me-
dium of such Journals as still adhere to him in his fall.
—The recess will afford M. de Vatn.atat time to
strengthen his connections, and consolidate his powers
and there is no doubt, that on the next meeting of the
Chambers, his influence will be sufficient to carry some
of the measures in which he failed during the late
Session. The great financial measure, the reduction of
the interest of the renter, is one of sound policy, and
could not fail of being of great service to France. It
may, however, be expected at any time to be strongly
opposed is the Chambers, particularly that of the Peers,
though M. de VirasaLz appears to have regained his in-
fleence there, as the Law Project on the Budget was
adopted by a majority of 119 against 3.. On Wednes-
day it was presented to the Kum.
In addition,to the Monikar of Thursday, we have re-
ceived the Paige of yesterday, by Express. It contains
an absurd. article from Madrid, stating that the Rus-
sian Government has offered to assist Spain with
100,000 men and a fleet, in order to regain her South
American Colonies. The known determination of
England and the United States, to oppose all interference
between Spain and her South American States by a
third Power, is a sufficient guarantee that these States
have nothing to fear on that account.

M. de VILLELE transacted business with the Km° on
Thursday, after which his MAJESTY took an airing,
Accounts from Bayonne of the 31st ult. state, that en
Sunday, the 25th, the populace of Bilboa insulted seve-
ral respectable citizens, which rendered it necessary for
the French to interfere and establish order.

The French Renter, which last Saturday were as low
as 97, were on Thursday afternoon as high as 100 f. 70c.
and in great demand.

have alluded :

M. Bulgari, late Ambassador from Russia to Madrid,
has left the capital. M. d'Oubriel, his successor, has
been presented, and we are assured he offers, on the
part of his Government, an army of one hundred thou-
sand men, and a Russian fleet, for the conquest of our
American possessions. The English Ambassador is pre-
paring for his departure.
Letters from Estremadura announce, that the Roy-
alist division of soldiers of Morales commit great ex-
cesses in their cantonments; 1,000 of the new levy have
deserted from Badajos, and gone into Portugal, where
they were well received. The number of sick aug-
ments daily, but more particularly among the French ;
the great heat is the cause. The mountains of Ronda
and Malaga are infested with armed men, who inter-
rupt all communications. It is reported that the Bing
will quit Sacedon at the end of the month.

Letters from Tangier say, that the Emperor of Mo-
