u VERA CRUZ. Dtc. ISM
" We have now a civil war raging in Minim with all'
its horrors. On the night of the SO.h of November, the
militia of that city. to the number of 3 000 men, task
possession of the general barracks, which contained all
their park of artillery. and fortifi-d themselves in the
barracks. They were next day attacked by the Go-,
sPinor's troops, bat without success. On the third
day the Governor's troops Were &Gated, and driven
nut of the city. They then comm• aced robbing the
old Spaniards, and murdering them in their own
houses; they also robbed a number of Esigli.h and'
German houses, whose names we have not been able to
learn. All the foteiEn Ministers and Consuls, with the
exception of Mr. Foinsett, have obtained their pass-
pons, and are on their way to this city.
• " You can easily imagine what an effect this has nn
the commercial community of this place, and particu-
larly with the old Spaniards, who are expecting to
share the same fate as their countrymen in Mexico.—
Oor city remains quiet, although some fears are enter-
tained of a similar :evolution here—we do net believe it.
" A number of suspicious persons have been at rested,
and all the militia disarmed, which is a proof they ate
afraid of them. The United States ship F.lnrouth is
now here. and will wait until things assume a more
peaceable aspect. The packet ship Virginia has just ar-1
rived in 21 days passage."
ikrntAcr OP A LITTRR /ROM AN AMERICAN OINTLR•
MAN RESIDING IN THR CITY 01 &HMCO, TO MI

CORRISPONDLNT IN THIS CITY, DATED DEC. 6.
" The city has fallen, after as assault which con•
tinned three days. On its fall it was sacked, first by
the lower class of the town, and afterwards by the
'soldiers. It was principally confined to the Prada sod
'Portal de Mercadores, where all the retail shops are.-
1 Messrs. Parroll and Willson's store (an American house)
was attacked, btu they did not succeed in meting it.
The adj'•ining building was literally stripped of every
thing. Tranquillity is now restored. A Proclamation
has been issued by the new Government, inswing the
foreigners that they will be protected. The amount of
plunder is estimated at from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000
of dollars, in goods and specie. As this is the first day
of tranquillity, the plundering having continued till
yesterday, it is impossible to say how stable the Govern-
ment may be, but I sill take the earliest opportunity
to inform you.
" Dec 10.—Being still in time for the packet, lam
happy to say that every thing remains quirt, and that
all the measures that have been adopted by Govern-
ment are calculated to restore things to rights, though
it is the opinion of some that a re action must take
place. Mine is different, founded on the great physical
superiority of the present Government. All the change
that has been made in the Ministry is the Minister of
War, General Guerrero being in place of Pedrazzio"

" V E RA CRUZ. Dees?.
" Our advice. horn the capital are to the 20th.—
Every thing remained quiet. Some fears were enter-
tained brie, but we believe the tranquillity will not be
interrupted—that onr State, and perhaps we should
say every State, will join in the new order of things.—
There are many anticipate that matters will soon be
brungl.t to a close.
" Another letter of the same date says—The affairs
of the country are in a mo,t deplorable state. Mexico
has been pillaged to a very large amount, and the a hole
country is in a state of rebellion. The conduct.. which
left Mexico in November, has &en stopped in Puebla.
The accounts from there tr -Jay lead ever y one to believe
ttlat.Puebla, v ith the conducts, will share the same fate
as Mexico. And, in fact, Vera Cruz, which heietifore
has been perfectly quiet, is is a state of revolt against
the General Gower 'intent."
ANOTHER LETTER, DATED DEC. 28.
" Since mitre of yesterday, there has been a diversion
both of the army and et•xens of Vera Cruz in favour
of Guerrero, and it is now believed that things will be
quiet for a while,and a revival of nosiness witl take place.
"Captain Bugnon, of the Le, inidas, .totes that the day
he sailed, 28. h D:cember, on leaving the harbour he
observed large volumes of sm ke aii.ing horn the city,
from which he infers th .t an attack had been made
upon the city. From the tenon', hoiever, of the above
letters.the smoke may have ashen frost some other cause.
"Captain Bugnon also states that the ir ups under the

Earl BEAUCHAMP pre-clued a Petition. signed
5 722indiviiu Is, from the county and city of Wort
Id.rd LYTTLETON stated, that he wished to ad.
dress.a few words to their Lordships in reference to the
Petition that bad been just presented by the Noble Earl.
It had been represented to the public that that Petition
came from the county of Worcester. N rw, that several
respectable individuals in that county had signed the
Petition he would not attempt to deny, but he con.
tended that not a -single person of cond. erable rank or
property ifs the county of Worcester had affixed his
signatute to it. He was aware that many persons of
character and respecrabil ty in the toasty did take II
part in forwarding that Petition; but he called upon
the Noble Earl to deity, if he could, the assertion which
he felt himself bound to make. The manner in which
the Petition had been got up, too, he Look -d upon ae
very irregular. No yublie met bag was convened on
the occasion; two or risme persons were sent about the
comity with the Petition, which was originally intended
for the city of Worcester, and empl.yed to canvass the
names of all with whom they might have a chance of
prevailing. As to what the weight of the Petition was,
their Lordships would to the best judges. He felt it
his duty to make these remarks.

Earl.BEA UCH A ‘IP said, in reply to the observa-
tions of the Noble Lord, he would only remark, that
the Pet.tion which he had the honour to present to the
House was signed by a considerable number of Clergy.
men of the Established Church, and also by a large
proportion of the Magistrates of the county of W 4.
tester; the rest of the sign.•tures being those of rest ea-
' able residents, makingin the wh•• e, as be had before
stated, .5,72 L . He had also another l'etiton 'to present
from the inhabitants •of Bewdley, in the same county,
signed by 700 inhabitants of that place.
Lord LYT I'LETON then said, respectin; the P.O.
tion from the Barony of Bewdley he had nothing to say ;
in all probability that petition was what it seemed to bi.
But. ith respect to the other ; etision, be begged leave
to remind their Lordships the Noble Earl had not
answered his objection, that the petition did not proceed
from any public meeting cinvened for that put pose:..-
The manner in which it had been got up was altogether
irregular and anomalous; that manner, he had already
stated to their Lordships, was by sending about persons
to 'canvass the county. There was, indeed, a meeting
on the subject in the city of Worce ter, but no report of
the intention. of bolding such a meeting was conveyed
to the persons residing in the county. There was no
county meeting whatever; and further, no person what.
ever of considerable rank or pr •perty attended the city
meeting. He, therefore, must insist that t• e petition
;lamented by the Noble Earl should not pass as a petition
from the county of Worcester.
Rai BEA UCH A 31P said, that the Petition bad boo neteraf be;
every loyal subsect in the county a Worcester.
Lord LYIILICTON replied, that whatever might be the do,
ratter of those who had signed the petition. be saw no sighs the
Noble Lord, or any other individual, had to stigmatise those that
bad not signed k—(Hear)."
Both petitions were then read, sad ordered to be laid= the table.
The Earl of FALMOUTH said he row- to present
two Petitions against the Catholic claims, which, al-
though they came from inconsiderable places in Corn.
wall, were yet signed by as great a number as were.
this e oho had signed the counter petition to that pre.
set ted by a Noble Earl from the inhabittents•oll Kent.
The umber amounts d to very certify 1.700; or, to he
quite correct, the signatures were in all 1,697. A Noble •
Lord (Earl they), on a late occasion, bad addressed the
House upon two points, as he (Lord Falmouth) step. •
posed, with a view to drew the inference that the Ciro
cuitistances of the late election proved the great majo.
rity of the inhabitants of Cot nein to be favourable to
*hat was called Catholic Emancipation. ile now
begged leave to say that those pillions which he had
the honour to present to their L •rd•hips contained a
number of names more than those which supported the
H.in. Gentleman who was considered the popular can-
didate at the last election. The sum • Noble Lord had
stated, and, in defence of his st.tement, bad entered
into a minute cakul.tion of the relative numbers of -
C4o.,bc an.i anti•Cathohe voters in both Houses foe

ing ground in the number if their supporters since the
question was first agitated. But in that House, in the
year 1812, the majority against the measure was one;
whereas, in the last Parhausentai y year, at else clew of
the debate, the majority against coatessions
