MEXICO.

CADIZ, JULY 9.
The frigates Cinco-Hermanos and Fama, and the
brigantine Samoncito, arrived here to day, fromirera
Cruz and the Havannah, in thirty-six days. The
following ate the most important particulars they
bring from New Spain. It will be seen from them
that the attempt of Garatusa has not found that sup-
port from the inhabitants which he expected, and
which he had been promised by those who, to serve
their own ends, advised him, traitorously, to turn
against the Government the arms which it had con-
fided to him. Everything announces to us that the
plans of those rebels will soonsbe entirely frustrated,
and Europe will know whether it is only a few am-
bitious individuals, or the whole population, who
desire the independence of America.

ACAPULCO, MARCII 15.
The combined military and naval force has taken
possession of this place to-day, in the name of the
King and the 6,,anish Nation, viz.—on the part of
the Navy, D. Jose de Villegas, Commander in Chief
of the Mucha ant Venganza frigates ; and on the
part of the Army, Lieutenant-Colonel Don Francisco
Rinaldo, commanding the 6th division of the South,
joined with Don Vincente Enderica, Captain of the
Regiment La Corona (who was appointed Governor
by Iturbide), at the head of all the Officers and troops,
with the greatest harmony and satisfaction. The
troops of both Armies, including the Artillery,
amount to 1800 men. Thers are in the place lot/0
muskets, including those brought by the American
frigate. The people were beside themselves with joy,
and the eloquence of a Cicero would be necessary to
express with propriety the enthusiasm and loyalty of
the inhabitants, especially of the people of colour.
(Murenos), who desire no Government but that esta-
blished by the CoI tes, and nothing but their adored
Ferdinand VII. All these coasts think in the same
u.anner, and also the inhabitants of the interior dis-

tricts of Tixtla, Chilapa, ticc. &c.
Here follows a long dispatch from the Constitu-
tional Alcade to the Viceroy of Mexico, giving an
account of late events. He says, that on the 20th of
February, the Governor, Don Nicolas 13asi1io de la
Gandera left the place with the whole garrison, by
the order of Iturbide, which was replaced by 174
men of the regiment of La Corona, and D. V. Ende-
rica, Captain of that regiment, as Governor; who,
on the 27th, called a Military Junta, at which it was
agreed that all the members should subscribe to the
general will of the army of the kingdom. Enderica
then sent this resolution to the Municipality, who
were deliberating what was to be done, when a dis-
patch arriveli from Iturbide, with an extract of the
Basis of Independence, and a list of the persons who
were to compose the Superior Junta of Government.
Not having a soldier on whom they could depend, the
Corporation could do no otherwise than submit.
Two dispatches, dated from Hiauchinango, in the
Plains of Apar, 21th March, to the Viceroy of Mexico,
by Colonel de la Campa, state, that he had entered
that place the day before without any opposition from
the Insurgents, and that he had got possession of five
howitzers, 13 cannon, and a quantity of arms and
ammunition, which they had abandoned. The first
dispatch states, that 40 individuals had come to im-
plore the benefit of the amnesty, and the second dis-
patch adds, that four Captains, three Lieutenants,
four Subalterns, and about one hundred men, had
also claimed the amnesty, which he had granted.

VERA CRUZ, 1$1:1Y.1.

Since my last letter the political situation of this
kingdom has changed its appearance. The Viceroy
has at length taken the step which he ought to have
taken before, by sending troops against the rebels, for
which purpose he has divided the army of the South
into three divisions.

By a letter written from Jalupa, on the 27th, we
learn that the band of rebels at Tepeace, commanded
by Bravo, Ilobioza, and Ramirez, has been completely
routed with the loss of all their Infantry, the Cavalry

only escaping, which is, however, pursued. This is
confirmed by a letter written by Villedo, adding that
Ilevia overtook them at St. Augustin del I'almar,
and continued in pursuit of them.
Tamaniegt, with 700 men, was at Thuacan, with
part of the Regiment of Savoy (now La Reina), and
was to put himself in communication with Ilevia,
which two Chiefs took possession of Orizaba and
Cordoba. All this Province was undermined, and,
but for the Europeans whom we enrolled on the 7th
of March, this place would have been occupied by
the Insurgents ; but, by the measures taken, all is
changed, and we are tranquil, though oppressed
with fatigue.
An extract of a letter, dated Monte Video, March
24., 1821, says :—" On the 20th instant, at day-
break, nearly all the garrison under arms had occu-
pied the principal posts, with Colonel CLAUDINO
PINIENTEL at their head, and their avowed object
was to swear to the Constitution proclaimed in Por-
tugal. Some of the principal Officers had different
political opinions, but being called to the Market-
place, they were obliged to yield, either through
fear, or—a change of opinion. General LECOR was
,
also summoned to attend and to preside; it was ne-
cessary to send him three messages before he resolved
to come ; at last he made his appearance at the bal-
cony of the Town-house. In the Proclamation cir-
culated amongst the troops, an offer is made to com-
ply with the promise given to them by the King, to
let them return to their homes in Portugal. It will,
therefore, be necessary to let the army return to Eu-
rope ; and as it will be next to impossible to raise
another army for the purpose in the Brazils, the con-
sequence will probably be the evacuation of this
fortress and territory. For the present, a Military
Junta has been formed ;it is composed of five indi-
viduals, under the presidency of General Lzeoa.—
CLAUDINO PINIENTEL is Vice-President, and the rest
of the Members are Major NEPOMUCENO, and Cap-
tains PLANA and JEREILIA."

THE FUNDS.

Stocks, which fell in the course of last week about
two per cent. have suffered a still farther remarkable
depression this forenoon. At an early hour all the
e:ninent-Brokers appeared in the market, and were
all sellers to large amcnints. Consols opened at 75%,
at which they closed on Saturday, but in au instant
fell to 741;6. The eagerness for selling still conti-
nuing, they declined to ;PA, and still looked down-
wards.
The cause of this fall is the increasing belief
that a war will take place between Russia and Tur-
key, and the probability that this country may ulti-
mately become involved in it.

We have been favoured with some further extracts
from Constantinople and Smyrna letters, in addition to
those which we received at a late hour, and published
on Saturday. Although the general tenour of these
accounts is of a very disastrous description, yet it is
satisfactory to learn, that the accounts which ap-
peared in the Paris Papers, particularly as to the de-
struction of Smyrna, were much exaggerated.
It appears that about the beginning of June, a
Turk having been wounded at Smyrna by one of his
own countrymen, whether by accident or in a
quarrel is not stated, some ill-disposed persons gave
it out that it had been dune by a pistol fired
from one of the houses belonging to the Greeks.
—This report brought the Turks in great numbers to
the spot, who immediately commenced a furious at-
tack upon the Greeks, many of whom they murdered,
besides plundering several houses. The Pacha, how-
ever, interfered, and quiet was restored and continued
until the 14th; when a report was received that the
Ottoman fleet had been defeated by the Greeks off,
Nlytilene ; and a Russian vessel having refused to
submit to be searched previously to her leaving the
port, the Turks, suspecting that she had ammunition
on board for the use of the Greeks, required of the
Governor that she should be detained, and upon his
refusal to adopt this course, he was murdered by the
populace. The most shocking atrocities were now
committed upon the Greeks, many hundreds of whom
were massacred ; indeed, such was the fury of the
barbarians that they even killed many of the principal
Turks. Ultimately the vessel was examined and pro-
ceeded out of port without further molestation ; after
which the ferment gradually subsided, and, on the
21st June, no assassinations having been committed
for two days, the Greeks once more ventured into
the streets, and tranquillity might be said to have
been restored.

The alarm which the ♦iolent proceedings of the
Turks excited amongst the European residents was
so great, that, on the 18th, the different Consuls or-
dered their countrymen to embark on board their ves-
sels in the harbour, as they considered it unsafe for
them longer to remain on shore. Subsequently,
however, most of them had returned to their houses,
although the 4:tater part of the valuable effects un-
der their care still remained afloat.

It was understood that eight British ships of war
had arrived at Malta, and that they might be ex-
pected daily at Smyrna. The greatest anxiety was
felt by the Europeans respecting the continuance of
pacific relations between Russia and the Porte, as, in
the event of a war, it would become impossible for
them to remain any longer at Smyrr.a ; and the re-
moval of their establishments, and the consequent
abandonment of the debts which were owing them
by the Turks and other inhabitants, would be very
disastrous both to themselves and to the merchants
who had entrusted their property in their hands.—
An order was issued on the 20th, that all Russian
vessels should be detained until directions could be
received from Constantinople ; and an embargo was
laid upon all vessels for ten days.
Whilst these occurrences were proceeding, the
neighbouring towns had witnessed scenes of dread-
ful calamity, particularly Sydonia or Ivalee, and
Magnina. The former place had fallen a prey to
the unrelenting ferocity of the Turks, while, on the
other hand, at Magnina, the whole of the Ottoman
force, including the Pacha himself, had been massa-
cred by the populace ! It appears that, at Ivalee, a
disposition to revolt manifesting itself among the
Greeks, a Pacha, with a strong force, had been sent
to quell it. On his arrival the principal Greeks met
him, and assured him that none of their countrymen
were opposed to the Porte; on the contrary, they
were ready to pay the most implicit obedience to
its Authorities, and had no disposition or intention
whatever to give it offence. This assurance was
made ss ith such an appearance of candour and
truth, that the Pacha immediately retired, and sent
an express to the capital, informing the Govern-
ment of the tranquillised state of the place.—
!so% evet, Lad retired, than the Greeks

assembled and commenced a furions attack upon the
houses and persons of the Turkish Authcety. Tae
Turks repulsed them, and an immediate congict co:1.
mencci, which general and desperate. Me
Turks set fire to the town, which was ertirely de-
stroyed, and it is stated that the greater part of the
population, consisting of nearly 25,000 persons, suf.
fered either by the flame or the savor; . The few
who escaped effected their flight on board some Greek
vessels laying off the town. The Turks say that about
700 Mussulmans were killed.

On the account of these transactions reachint
Smyrna, the Governor had given notice that if any
of the Franks attempted to conceal either the persons
or property of the Greeks in their vessels or ware.
houses, they NVOUId lie considered as enemies to the
Ottoman Government and dealt with accordinor,
The accounts from Constantinople, wl)ch are to
the 25th of June, do not contain matter of much inv.
portance, further than the announcement that Baron
STROGONOVF, who remained in his country seat at
Buyukdere, had received dispatches from his Court
through Odessa, but their contents were not known.
The Turkish fleet had re-entered the Dardanelles,
having lost one ship of the line, which had been cut
off by a number of Greek vessels, and had been de.
stroyed by fire in the harbour of Sign, on the treStelll
side of Mytilene. Nearly the whole of her crew were
either drowned or killed by the Greeks.

We have received the Paris Pagers of Thursday
and Friday.

The Chamber of Peers have agreed to the project
for continuing the censure on the Journals; the num.
hers on a scrutiny were 83 to 45.

It is asserted. in letters from different parts of G.
many, that the Russian forces had at last received
orders to enter 'Flukey ; but everything on this head
bears marks of uncertainty.
French Five per Cents.—Thursday, 86fr.10e.

According to accounts from Hamburgh, dated the
17th instant, vast quantities of military stores had
been purchased there, as was generally supposed, for
the use of the Russian Government. From this tip
cumstance it is inferred, that great armaments are
making in Russia.

A letter is said to have been received in Londot
from an Illustrtous Person related to the Royal Fa.
mily of France, in which it is stated po, itively, that
Austria and Russia have entered into a distinct Treaty
for the partition of Turkey.

We have given, in a preceding part, some account'
which the Madrid Papers have published respecting
Mexico. We think it right to remark, that they are
neither of so recent a date nor apparently so autbectic
as those which we received from Baltimore, and
published in the beginning of last week. 'Elle cause
of the Revolutionists is certainly in a far more prosfe.
rous situation than these Spanish accounts would
represent.

By the Salisbury packet, advices from Rio de it-
neiro, to the 9.2 d May, have been received. Another
packet, which sailed on the Bth, is still due. *.is
events of importance had occurred, but some curios
accounts are given of the mode in which the Pam
Rovat. exercised the functions of Regent, after die
departure of his father for Portugal. His Proclamt
Lion, after the assumption of power, concluded wRI
a promise to watch carefully over education, tort
merce, and agriculture, and, above all, to apply
himself to the reform of abuses. In this last matte
his promise was already in a course of fulfilment--
He discharged all useless domestics, retaining only
fifty for the service of his Palace, sold off two-thirds
of his stud, and abolished the second table of tht
Court. Ile visited, in person, several of the Public
Offices, and reprimanded severely those guilty d
neglect of duty. Hence the greatest zeal for the'
dispatch of business had arisen in all of them, eves
in the department of the Customs. The Council of
War having proposed a pecuniary reward, on the
plea of great services rendered to the State, for as
individual long closely attached to the person of tig
Prince, the Prince wrote under the proposition, thg
the Council of War, to deserve attention, should hale
detailed those services; and refused the reward.—
The Prince has also remitted the duty on salt, in is
transit from one Province to another, on account of
its utility to agriculture. These measures, and tte
personal activity of the Prince, were new objecissi
curiosity and wonder to the Brazilians, and his pP
polarity was unbounded. The attack by the soldiers
on the citizens of Rio, on the Slst of April, in de
Exchange, is ascertained to be an isolated act olio*
discretion on the part of the Commanding Olken-.
Perfect discipline and good order had been subs
quently preserved by the military. In the elections'
the Members for the Cortes, which commenced 0
the llth of May, this affair gave rise to some ang
discussions ; but it was voted irrelevant to the oiled
of the meeting, and the election proceeded in pale
order and tranquillity. The names of the Depots'
fifteen in number, are published in the Grzeffs,"
Among them are two Doctors of Civil LIN', tbs'
Ecclesiastics, two Lieutenants-General, two COo
sellors, a Colonel, and a Major. Commerce ws
quite stagnant at Rio. The market was overstockei
with English goods, and Portuguese vessels will
from the East Indies proceeded immediately for L'
bon. The Forci,...-n Ambassadors were all prep 2
for departure.
