u those who have illustrated the page of bistory,i
and your fellow-citizens will offer you the tribute of gra-
titude and admiration which your actions have so justly
excited.

" Citizens of the whole Republic! we have presented
to the civilized world, a spectacle worthy of a great
and illustrious Nation : in the midst of police, and in the
tranquil interior of the vast Anahuac, we raised an army
which hastened to meet the invaders, who, confined to
the coast, may besaid not to have lost sight of the ocean,
before their final discomfiture.

" MEXICANS !—The President of the Republic con-
gratulates himself that, during the period of his Go-

vernment, the obstinate enemies of independence,
should be finally undeceived; that friendly nations may be

confirmed in the favourable sentiments entertained of us,
and that those who waver on the subject of our recogni-
tion, may now be convinced that the people of Mexico are
capable of sustaining their independence, and the federal

institutions to which they have sworn. Fellow country-
men Long live our independence ! Long live the
Mexican Confederacy !
(Signed)
Mexico, Sept. 89 1829.

" VICENTE *GUERRERO."

We publish the following report of the state of Mexico,
confirmatory of our former intelligence, as we had already
seen letters to the Ist of November. Our readers may
rely on the strict accuracy of .the information which we
here furnish ; and indeed, on all that we ever give—in
our leading articles—on the subject of South American
affairs.

Letters from Mexico, to the 9th 'of October, announce 1
that ' every thing there was going on prosperously.
The Minister of Finance, M. ZAP ALA, had been re-
moved—his porte-feuille having been given provision-
ally to the Minister of the Interior—and every body was
hourly looking for the departure of M. POINSETT, the
American Envoy, against whom the outcry was universal.
It appears that the government is seriously occupied in
re-organising a substantial finance, and that various re-
forms are projected in the administration. Never, in
fine, has the political horizon in Mexico appeared so
serene and cloudless, as it does now after the happy and
glorious event of Tampico. General SANTA AN VA, at
the beginning of November, was at Xalapa, the capital of
Vera Cruz, tranquilly discharging his functions as Pro-
vincial Governor.

General BRAVO'S arrival had given great confidence,
and has been the means of approximating the two parties
in the State.

We have authority for stating most unequivocally, that
there is no truth whatever in the report that Dox PEDRO
has any intention to recognise the usurper of his daugh-
ter's throne.

In our comments on the letters of 0. P. Q. the Paris
Correspondent of a Morning Paper, we did not hesitate to
express our suspicions that he was an agent of M. DE
POLIO r: AC. These suspicions are fully confirmed by the
Vlth and Vllth Letters, which contain violent attacks on
the Orleans family, and the liberals generally. We shall
notice them at more length to-morrow.

We perceive by contemporary prints, that LordDACRE
has just set an example to landlords, which—in these
distressing times—it is to be hoped will find imitators.
Not deeming that lie had done enonvh, in reducing his
rents twenty-five per cent, he has even remitted their
payment altogether, 'till Lady-day next, a period of
three months. This last indulgence is almost even more
valuable than the abatement, since it gives the farmers

a chance of improved markets for their corn : while, on
the other hand—if they were compelled to thresh it
out, and sell it at the present depressed prices—they
would in many instances find themselves involved in ruin,
notwithstanding so large a reduction. It must be ad-,
mitted, also, that this generosity on the part of the
Noble LORD, is quite as prudent as it is feeling ; for the
time is rapidly advancing—it is of no use to shut our
eyes to it—when the doers of such actions will reap
their quite commensurate reward, ih the adherence of a
grateful tenantry. We cannot too strenuously urge upon
our great landowners the policy—if only selfishly con-
sidered—of imitating such an example as Lord Da c RE'S.
We happen to know, that that Noble LORD—in acting as
he has done—has only followed up the impulses of his
natural benevolence : but it is proper to remind others,
whose cold dispositions may need a more worldly excita-
tion to their duty, that the recollection of such expe-
rienced kindness in a season of trouble will ensure its
reciprocation, when the LANDED INTEREST, perhaps,
" lies howling I" -

CRONSTADT, Nev. 27.
We understand, that on the 15th a pretty violent north
wind having driven the ice towards the moth side of the
gulf, between St. Petenburgh and Cronstadt, ten foreign
vessels, eight lighters, and a steam boat, left the capital and arrived
here : the latter, and another steam boat, which could not get
through the is on the nth of November, returned to St. Peters-
burgh the same day, with five boats which it took in tow. The
neat day the communication was again interrupted by the ice;
and on the 15th, in the evening, four men came on foot from
Oranlmbaurn ; but the neat day all communication became Im-
possible, a very high south west wind having broken up the
ice. On the 20th, an English ship, which had just ar-
rived at Cronstadt, and had penetrated ten went. through
the ice, was obliged to stop between Crosses& and the Merchants'
port, where it was necessary to open a passage far it by sawing
through the ice. The Mall from St. Petersburgh arrived here on
the 25th, for the first time; and twenty laden vessels, which bad'
remained some days in the road, ending It absolutely impossible to
put to sea, began yesterday to cut the. ice, to return to the port
where they will winter.—Petersburgh Jumada, Ike. 5.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, Mc, S.

Since my last, MIGUEL has returned suddenly from
Pinheiro, under pretext of being present at the examina-
tion of the pupils at the Collegio dos Nobres, having re-
mained only seven days absent. During his stay in the
country, numbers flocked to his residence, to complain of
the misery they are suffering; and begging him to apply
a remedy. The whole of these poor people were dismissed
with the following characteristic reply—" go about your
business, I came here to amuse myself, and not to hear of
your miseries!"
All the Artisans and labourers of the arsenal went to
Queloz in a body on the Ist, and tumultuously demanded
their arrears, adding, that they would not work any longer,
unless something was immediately paid, as their families
were starving ever since the bank had discontinued
its advances. Alarmed at their menaces, Miguel pro-
mised every thing; upon which the credulous assemblage
retired ; but they had scarcely resumed their work, when
the ringleaders were seized and thrown into prison.
The notorious rector of BARKEIRO, the first who, act-
ing under BASTOE, raised an outcry against the charter
in 1827, when SALDAMIIA was dismissed from the mi
nistry, and afterwards figured so conspicuously as a false
witness in the murderous trials of that period, was buried
on Monday last, amidst the imprecations of his congre-
gation, of whom he had also been the scourge since the
usurpation.
