A Privy Council is summoned,to meet the KING at

IMPORTANT MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.

A Mail from Mexico, bringing letters from the ca.
pital, to the 18th of September, is arrived. At that
date the Government had not received the official ac-
count of the capitulation of Tampico, and—indeed—
could not. But the official bulletins, and "reports
from the officers in command, had assured them
that the destruction of the Spanish army—or its surren-
der—was inevitable. In the mean time, the greatest
union prevailed.
The Decree of Amnesty has been published, of which
we have received a copy. It restores without excep-
tion all persons banished from the country by the
Decree of April 15, 1828, for the insurrection called
Montano. They are not only allowed to return, but to
be replaced in the stations from which they were
removed. This is an Amnesty very different from
that of the beloved FERDINAND. The Govern-
ment, desiring also to efface the recollection of the
disorders at the close of last year, has ordered all
the money that was taken from the Conductors to be
immediately repaid: and we have thef urther pleasure to
announce a DECREE, for the total ABOLITION OP
SLAVERY in the MEXICAN TERRITORY—an event,
which we hail with unfeigned delight. But what will be the
effect of this measure, on the two or three hundred
thousand slaves in the island of Cuba ? We warned
the Government against that partial policy, which per-
mitted Cuba to be made an offensive station, whilst at
the same time it was protected by the English power from
attack. Let Ministers now take the consequences. We
have only time, to-day, to lay before our readers the in-
teresting State document just mentioned, by virtue of
which Slavery has become extinct in Mexico.
DECREE:
DATED MEXICO, 15 SEPTEMBER, 1829.

The PRESIDENT of the United Mexican States, to the
Inhabitants of the Republic!
Desirous of signalising in the year 1829, the anni-
versary of our Independence by an act of justice
and national beneficence, which will add confidence
to the public tranquillity, and co-operate for the
prosperity of the Republic, by restoring to an
unfortunate class of its inhabitants those sacred rights
which nature gave them—which the laws encourage :
and using to that end those extraordinary powers, which
were granted to me by the thirtieth article of the Con-
stituent Act, I direct—

That Slavery shall be abolished throughout the whole

Republic.

That from this day forward, all these who have been
regarded or held as Slaves, shall be free•

111.

When the pecuniary circumstances of the Republic
admit of it, the proprietors of these former slaves shall
be indemnified, according to the regulation of the laws.
Signed, VICENTE GUERREIRO.
Countersigned, JOSE MARIA BOCCANEGRA.

Since writing the above, we have received farther let-
ters from Vera Cruz, of which we subjoin a summary.
We lament the loss of life, but congratulate the friends
of liberty on a triumph, the prelude to which has afforded
so much additional security to South American indepen-
dence, by the energy and valotit displayed on that occa-
sion by the Mexican army :
- "All doubts must now cease in regard to the surrendir
of the Spaniards at Tampico to Gen. SANTA ANNA. By
the Mexican mail, arrived this morning, we have received
Veit Cruz Papers to the 286 of September, containing
a long official despatch from the above General, dated
Tt
gapico, 19th September, SI substance of which is,
fat he demanded their surrender in 48 hours, otherwise
he'would not give them 14 quarter. A message was
sent to Gen. SANTA A met,- but he refused to parley.
A dreadful storm prevaildi during the contest, which
overflowed his lines with whiter, and iilaced some of his
