rile for my vigilance and paternal solicitude towards
those unfortunate persons who, owing to their po-
i verty, live unknown in the remote quarters of the
city. After seeing them exposed, and ready to pre-
sent their n eked breasts against . the attacks of the
rebels, who they thought were approaching the city,
they are rendered still more worthy of my considera-
tion. I need not say more, I cannot do too much for
them. But they have given a greater proof of their
refined patriotism, by contributing to the discovery
of a conspiracy framed by persons who, by their ta:'
lents and information, knew the horrid consequences
resulting therefrom, and which they should have done
every thing in their power to avoid.
" Continue then firm in your honourable semi.
meats, and in those of reciprocal and fraternal har-
mony, by which you are so intimately united, and
you will soon see extirpated all your enemies, both
external and internal, who should attempt to inter-
rupt youf peace and tranquillity.

" By letters which have been received with these
Gazettes we learn, that the three principal promoters
of this conspiracy were publicly executed in Mexico:.
that many others would soon suffer the same fate,
amongst whom were several ecclesiastics and attor-
nies ; that about SOO persons had been sent to the
castle of San Juan deUlua, in Vera Cruz, and finally
that the greatest tranquillity and peace reigned in
Mexico."

" Mexico, August 5..

a While his Excellency the Viceroy was extremely I
chagrined at the occurrence of the conspiracy plotted
in tills capital, and on seeing the vile intentions of a
small number of factious persons, who designed to
disturb the public tranquillity, the satisfaction and
joy of hisExcellency_was inexpressible in consequence
of the reiterated proofs of love to his person and tide-;
lit to our august Sovereign, which he instantly.ret
caved, both in writing and by word, from all the
tribunals, ecclesiastical prelates, cfiii.fs, ministers, and
private' individuals of this populous city.
a Among those who manifested their sentiments in
this manner, and those who have distinguished t')em-
selves by their activity, enthusiasm, and sincerity of
their feelings, were the Commanders of the.patriotic
battalions of Ferdinand VII. as will be seen by their
official letters to the Viceroy, which we insert with
his Excellency's answer thereto."

Mexico, August S.

" Most Excellent Sir—l have, in confoCmity to
the orders from your Excellency, doubled the guards'
of the regiment under my orders, and provided it
with the necessary warlike instruments—l have star
tioned seven patroles in the different quarters of the
city, with the necessary instructions to repress any
disturbance; my camp is completely equipped with•
all the troops and officers. Consequently, I hope your
Excellency will be at ease, for should it become no.
cessary to place my men before your Palace, no one
will dare approach it, particularly if I put myself at
their head ; which I communicate to your Excellency
for your satisfaction, assuring you that my regiment
**lone is sufficient to quell any disorder. GOD preserve
your Excellency many years. (Signed)

" The measures which you have taken with your

opinion of your honour, as well as that of your offi-

battalion, declare to the whole world, that• they ac-
knowledge in the person of your Excellency the sa-
cred right of the Monarch; in consideration whereof,
and animated with gratitude and love for your Ex-1

defence.

"This corps believed that nobody would violate
this right; but with grief they have seen that there
existed wretches and bad intentioned persons, who
thought of° misleading the faithful inhabitants of
Mexicil, from the righteous method they had taken.—
Let these worthless beings be on their gUard, for
should they be discovered, they will he rewarded with
the justice which characterises our tribunals.

covered tie abominable intrigues that were going
forward ; and assure you of our attachment to so
worthy a Chief. At the feet of your Excellency we'

patriotic sentiments with which they are animated, in
