M. DE GOROSTIZA, THE MEXICAN
AMBAIRUDOR.

From the Times.
There is one matter worth observing with regard to
these affairs of Mexico,--viz. the mean and tricky false-
hoods which SL.anish agents and partisans at the Ha-
vannah, in France, and here in London, perpetually have
recourse to, in the hope that any piece of malignant non-
sense, though it live but for a day, may inflict some passing
doubt or disparagement upon the cause of Peruvian liberty.
First, we were told that the Mexican Gen. was a traitor ;
next, when that would not do, they boasted that a
second expedition would instantly sail for Tampico,
which must render Barradas too strong to be attacked
by the Mexicans. Even when the news of Barradas's
surrender -reached this country by way of New York,
falsehood the third announced to us that the fact was
impossible, because some Spaniard (Mr. Zea Bermudez,
perhaps) sent round a letter of the 18th September from
the -liiiviumah, which made no mention of it. Again,
when the official intelligence arrived on Saturday, a rider
(in Ferdinand's livery) was tacked to it, modestly
announcing. that the. King of Spain had sent another
expedition against Mexico, which had actually lauded
on the western coast or that of the Pacific ! and " was
making great progress up the country,"---a tale which
about as much troth or common sense as that
possessed
Ferdinand had laid siege to Pekin or St. Petersburgh.
These stupid inventions cannot finally injure *the free
states of,America, nor even when slanders are launched
from similar motives against individual -functionaries of
the new Governments, will they serve the purpose of their
propagators an hour longer than until they shall have
been exposed. It has come to our knowledge, that with
a view to shut the ears of the British Foreign Minister
.gainst the new Mexican Envoy in this country, and
so to place difficulties in tbe, way of his negociations,
the most-clumsy calumnies have been circulated against
M. de Gorostiza,—as that be was a person of bad charac-
ter, an obscure adventurer, and (for a climax to the whole)
a man of low birth! That such tales should have been
traced to Ferdinand's people, is not at all surprising :
bet a man of genius is of all countries, and
an 'admirable writer belongs to every age. Lord
Aberdeen, himself a man of letters, is, we should
think, likely to feel respect for a person of such a
stamp. M. de Gorostiza is among the most celebrated
authors of the Spanish drama, having occupied himself
from his youth upwards in composing dramatic works,
in prose and verse, which have uniformly commanded
the warmest applause among Spaniards. He was
bora at Vera Crux, of which his father, an Officer
of high distinction, and head of an ancient noble
family of Biscay, was Governor. He was brought up as
Page of Honour to Charles IV. be joined the Consti-
tutional party in Spain ; emigrated in 1823 ; was parse-,
cuted like the Other exiles : then offered his services to
his own native Government (the Mexican) which gladly
accepted them, named him Consul-General in Holland,
next Chargé d'Affaires at the Court of Belgium, and
finally, in consideration of his various services, Minister
to that of St. James's.

His MAJ Err T held a Court at his Palace at Windsor
this day.
Divine Service was performed yesterday morning, in
the private Chapel attached to the King's Palace at
Kensington, before the Duchess of KENT, the Princess'
VICTORIA, and their Royal Highness's Household.
The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE Left their resi-
dence in Busby Park, Saturday morning, and came to
town. The Duchess remained during the day at the
King's Palace, at Kensington, on a visit to the Duchess
Of KENT and the Princess SOPHIA. The Duke re-
mained at his residence in the Kipg's Palace, St.
James's, till five o'clock, when his Royal Highness, in
company with his Duchess, returned to Bushy.
Her Gram the Duchess of BEDFORD, accompanied by
the Ladies RUSSELL, arrived at Woburn Abbey on Satur-
day evening last from Scotland. His Grace arrived a
few days before, and is in better health than he has been
for some time put. His Grace the Duke of WELLING-
TON, Prince ESTERIIA ZY, Earls ABERDEEN, SPENCER,
ROESLER, and JERSEY, Lord FITZROY SOMERSET,
Colonel RirssELL, dec. have also been at the Abbey on a
shooting excursion. The whole of this distinguished
party were out on Monday in his Grace's preserves at
Lidlington, on Tuesday at Steppingley, and on Wednen-
day at Crawley Hills. The number of heads of game
killed on the three days amounted' to 513. The Duke of
WELLINGTON left the Abbey' on Thursday morning,
soon after five o'clock, and was followed shortly after-
wards by Prince EETERRAZE; Earls ABERDEEN, ROES-
LEN, and JERSEY Earl SPENCER to his seat in this
county. Fresh arrivals are expected in the course of a
few days.
