THOMAS, FORSTER.
B:chequer, the sth day of January, 1826.

The: Proclamation of GeneralGuADALors VICTORIA.
the President of the United Sates of Mexico, announcing
the surrender of St. Juan d'Ulloa, the last strong hold
which Spain possessed on the eastern shores of the New
World, will be read with peculiar interest. The_firg of
Spain is no more to be seen in any part of the vast ter:
ritory comprehended within the limits of the Mexican
Federation ; and the acquisition c f the impregnable
fortress in question has put the seal
.to the independence
of that powerful Republic. Internal unanimity and
wise and liberal institutions are now only wanting, to
enable Mexico to take the highest rank in the scale of
nations; and in this prospect the tone of exultation
which the patriotic PKESIDZST assumes is natural, and
in good taste and feeling—" Mexico, presenting one
aspect to Europe, and another to Asia, offers the
riches of her virgin bosom—Dhis is an odd simile,
however]—for the reciprocal commerce, relations,
and utility of mankind." Certainly there is not, in
the known world, a country more admirably situated.
for beneficial commerce than Mexico; allowing for
some few natural disadvantages.

Her fleets and merchantmen from the ports in the
Pacific, favoured by the trade winds, can reach the
shores of China, Hindostan, and the innumerable Isles
of the Indian Archipelago, as easily, and in much the
same time, as those from the ports in the Atlantic can
arrive in Europe; in either case in about six weeks.
But Acapulco on the eastern, and Vera Cruz on the
western shore, which are the two principal harbours,
are unfortunately unhealthy in an extreme degree, pre=
renting in this respect an extraordinary contrast to the
territory of Mexico itself, which, from its immense ele-
vation although in a tropical region, is undoubtedly the
most salobrious climate on earth. The latter port is
completely commanded by the - Castle of St. Juan
d'Ulloa, and is now in the hands of the Mexicans, a
place of perfect security for all the treasures which the
commerce of the world may deposit there in transitu.
But previously to the conquest pf that fort, Vera
Cruz was of no utility to the Patticrs, and their navi-
gation of the Atlantic could only have been care sea
on by means of foreign shipping. This circumstance,
in the geographical situation of the pew Republic, is of
the utmost consequence to her permanent relations wit/
England. Confineckin her intercourse with the rest.

extent or profi..

Politicians are still speculating on the probable views
of the new Emperor of Rusin t, and the effect they
may have on the affairs of the Greeks and the Turks.
We have now sufficient evidence that the leading men,
in the hands of whom the shadow only of governmental
functions was invested, by the unwise and nareasoning
population of Greece, had no sulistantiarl pover to make
head against any enemy possessing the semblance of a
military force, still less against the formidable power
of the Pacha of EGYPT, whose atmies, numerous and
well appointed, are led on by an experienced Captain—
his own son. IBRAHIM PACHA has accordingly milli.
tary possession of the country, and ve fear the drama
of Greek independence is rapidly hastening to the con •
chiding scene.

Should Russia interfere between the Greeks and the
Turks, the neat question is, what will be the policy of
Austria ? The probability is, th it Austria, having now
lost the perfect guarantee of tranquillity which the per.
sonal character of the late EMPEROR afforded, will find
it necessary to take precautions against contingent, if
not immediate danger—against the possible, if not
probable interruption of peace on the Turkish frontier
by the future inroads of Russia on the petishing mo-
narchy of the Ottomans.

We have received the !:toile of yesterday by express ;
a report was circulated in Paris, stating that Marshal
Sucurr, Duke of Albufera, had died at Marseilles.

The Etoile contains some extracts from the St. Peters-
burgh Journal, principally Bulletins of the health of
the Empress Mother, which appears to be improving.
It also inserts a long private letter, which states, that
on the marriage of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE with
the daughter of a Polish Gentleman, the Empress Mo-
ther, who opposed it, obtained from the EMPEROR a
decision by which, in contracting this alliance, Cow
STANTINE renounced his rights to the Throne, in favour
of the Grand Dui; NICHOLAS. This act of renuncia-
tion was consented to, and signed by CONSTANTINE,
and three copies of it were deposited in the Senate, the
Synod, and the Supreme Council of the Empire. This
secret record was ordered not to be opened until the
death of the Emperor ALEXANDER.
As soon as intelligence of this fatal event reached
St. Petersburgh, on the 27th, the packet was officially
opened, but out of respect to the hereditary rights of his
elder brother, the Grand Duke NICHOLAS instantly
declared that he renounced the benefit of the act in•+'
question, and he took, the oath of fidelity to the Em-
peror CONSTANTINE I. The Senate, the Great Dignita.,
ries of the Empire, and the troops,imitated his example.
The same account represents CONSTANTINE as;
anxious to adhere to the renunciation that he had
made, and recognize NICHOLAS as Emperor. It was
supposed, however, that when he learnt.the proceedings
at St. Petersburgh, he would set out for the capital,
and assume the honours thrust upon him.
Such are the details in this private letter, how far
true we know not, but certainly such instances.of mag-
nanimity and self-denial are rare in modern history.

The following account of the insurrection in the
Dutch settlements, was received this forenoon at the
North and South American Coffee-house :
BATAVIA, &mime 15.

The Javanese are in a general state of insurrection.
particularly in the Semarang and middle districts,where
several thousands of the natives were assembled in arms,
and receiving no check from the Dutch Government,
in consequence of the great reduction of their troops,
such, large requisitions having been made for their
Macassar expedition, the numbers of the insurgents are
daily increasing, and assume a more menacing aspect.

An expedition has gone out against them from Sa-
marangl which' has been repulsed with loss, and some
English residents have been killed. A general panic
exists at Batavia, Samarang, and Sourabaya. Every
European resident has been ordered out on military
duty, for the protection of their respective settlements;
all intercourse with the interior is cut off ; and the ge-
neral opinion is, that without a supply of troops within
ten months, the Europan population will be driven
into the ocean. At Padang, the Malays were rising
in all directions, and the military are quite insufficient
to suppress them. The inhabitants here have also been
put into requisition for the protection of the city.

The KING, we are happy to state, continues to enjoy
excellent health: but owing to the Changeable and damp state of
the weather, his Maslow has had little opportunity of taking his
accustomed and favourite exercise in Windsor Park.

The Duke of YORK is completely recovered from his
attack-of-lumbago, and rides about as usual.
Viscount Met.s3unue left his house in Whitehall,
yesterday, on a visit to Earl Cowrea, at the Noble Earl's seat

Sion In the neighbourhood of Mexico, during which Mr. Menges
