The following is the circular to the Extraordinary
Commissioners mentioned in the above decree :

EGINA, MAY 28.
"The day fixed for the assembly of the first nations! Congress is
past, and the deputies are not yet chosen. We have noticed the
reasons of this delay, and have neglected no means in our power
to remove them. In the provinces which we have bad the plea-
sure of visiting, we have constantly endeavoured to impress on the
numerous citizens who surrounded is, the motives which induced
us to require of them the speedy and regular election of their
Deputies. We believed we have proved to them that the tran-
quillity and security which they now enjoy, are to be attributed
solely to the cessation of the disorder of which we were so long the
victims; but that the positive establishment of order requires in-
stitutions , and that these cannot be durable unless they rest on a legal
foundation, which it is for a National Congress to lay. When we
could not personally acquit ourselves of this duty, we have en-
deavoured to fulfil it by our official and confidential letters.—
Our endeavours have been fruitless in these privinees which
have chosen as to represent themt. Others have proceeded
to the choice of their deputies; others are still engaged in the
elections. We cannot better express our gratitude to those
provinces which, placing their confidence in us, have given as their
full powers, than by urging them to proceed to the election of their
deputies without further delay. We make the same request to
them which have already chosen their electors, and to those *hick
are sill engaged in the elections." After some further observa-
tions on the mode of election, the circular proceeds. " We there-
fore desire you to communicate the present letter to the pro-
vinces of the department under your administration. To this end
you will act in concert with the respective Dentegerantes,
that the election of the Deputies may be made as speedily as
possible. You will be present at the meeting which you will call
for this purpose, and send a delegate to those provinces to which
you cannot go in person, to accelerate this object as mach as pm-
Bible. You will sign the sets of the adieu and send es a copy
of them, leaving the originals in the hands et' the Deputise. We

mud you herewith the Decree hung the dsy for the meeting of
the Congress, which will show you of what importance we esteem
it that you ezecute. with your wonted activity and seal. the com-
mission which is given you by the present circular.
The President, J. CAPO
The Secretary of State, N. !WILIAM'S.
A great many provinces elected the President himself to be
their representative in the National Congress.

The Mexican Paper—El Espiritu Publico—to the
16th June, has been received this day ; but with the ex-
ceptiou•of the appointments of the Ministers Plenipo-
tentiary, they do not convey any news worth extracting.
The following are our selections :

MEXICO, Jews It.
Yesterday his Excellency the Vice. President took the oath be-
fore the Council of Government, and Aeneas& delivered a speech,
animated by that patriodsm and regard for the law which so much
distinguish his Excellency.
There are so many rumours of changes In the different London
papers, and particularly in the Standard, that we think there mast
be some Are where there is so much smoke. But what could any
new Ministry accomplish, if the House of Commons is to be ma-
naged by satisfying the representatives or the proprietors of the
close and rotten boroughs? Will it be possible to make such a re-
daction of the taxes, as shall restate to industry its due reward ?
When the Duke of Wellington became Prime Minister, and when
his penetrating eye was understood to be directed to the abases in
every department, great hopes ware excited that some effectual
relief to the people was at baud. But bow miserably has all this
been disappointed ? We think It cannot fail to occur to any, who
may now venture to take the helm, that without a Reform in the
House of Commons, it would be impossible fur an angel from
Heaven to do the least good ;—with this opinion, it gives us great
concern to see any thing like a division of views among tbe Refor-
mers themselves. In the extract we have taken froth Mr. Cob-
bett's last Register, he still stands out for Universal Suffrage, An-
nual Parliaments, and voting by Ballot. But bow can Mr. Cob-
bett suppose that those who honestly consider universal suffrage to
be mimed confusion, (and if he loots back to the writinp of the
late Mr. Wyvil upon Reform, he will find this to be no new °pl-
aice) can ever be brought to adopt principles so unknown to the
Constitution ? He tells us indeed that it would therm, the power
of the nobility, otherwise the late Duke of Richmond would not
have adopted it : but Mr. Cobbett should recollect that the Duke
of Richmond might make a mistake as well as himself; and more•
over, that he not only abandoned his universal suffrage almost a,
soon as he had adopted it, but that he became a most determined
enemy to the Reformers to the end of his life. Mr. Cobbett quotes
another authority, that of the present Earl of Radnor, and we fully
admit that that nobleman is a great and high authority for soy
thing be ever said or did. We have always regarded him as one
of the most able and honest men in the country ; but we deny that
he is any authority for universal auffrage, merely because be once
supported a petition from Abingdon for Reform upon the sided
basis.—We are ready to do the same ; but we should understand
thereby, as we have no doubt was intended by the noble Lord, the
widest basis known to she Consiitstliom If Lord Radnor* had been
far universal suffrage, he would have said so at once. Whenever
be does come forward, and his only fault is that this is a great deal
too seldom, he always speaks quite plain enough to be understood,
and calls things by their proper names ;—and therefore, until we
bear Lord Radnor declare himself for Universal Suffrage, Am-
end Parliaments, and voting by Ballot, which according to
the new political aithanasims creed, he must now do, if be
wishes to be saved from being considered as an impostor, we shall
believe that Lord Radnor's principles of Reform, are the same as
our own, which are those of the Constitution, the whole Constitu-
tion, and nothing but the Constitution. If Mr. Cobbett's nodose
were true that Universal Suffrage would increase the power of the
nobility, that alone would be reason enough for us to object to it.
Good GOD ! what !--increase the very power that we maintain is
too great already, so great as co be master of the Xing and people?
We really believe Mr. Cobbett is right, and that in tranquil times,
it might increase the power of the nobility ; for, as Mr. Tooke
used to say, " Whoever had most half-crowns, woold have most
votes ;" but in troublesome times, or iu times of great discontent,
It would sweep all before it, and those who are the best to pa
down, are not the best to build up. Though we cannot at present
quote his words, we know that this was the opinion of the late Mr.
Wyvil. We do therefore sincerely hope that Mr. Cobbett will
have the good sense to mat his new formed opinions upon this
salbjeet.—Edarbwrils Examiner.

CITY. TwaLvt o'CLoce.
Consols, which left off yesterday at IS for the Account, opened
this morning at and stay bo quoted at present Sag I, with
little doing. _

CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
The Consol Market has continued heavy during the morning.
Consols. which were in the early part of the day at Sif for the Ac-
count, have receded to 881 j, alternately buyers sad sellers, with
little doing to the present time.

The well-informed in the City give it as their opinion,
that the expedition from the Havannah to Mexico is a
desperate attempt on the part of the Spaniards, and will
not succeed—particularly the report of their going to
land on Yucatan, which is a very unhealthy place. But
others assert, that they will only make good a landing,
and fortify themselves, waiting further reinforcements
from the mother country. But it is supposed that they have
a strong party, who will join them the moment they
reach the Mexican shores.

The Mexican packet which has arrived is the second
one, and not due for three weeks to come. The private
accounts from the Havannah state that the shopkeepers
of the Havannah have solicited the Government to have
permission to put off their payments to the merchants, to
whom they owe about four or five millions of dollars ; but a
counter-petition from the merchants was sent to the
Governor not to grant them the request—in consequence
of which they were refused, and an investigation of their
affairs is to take place.
Letters have been received this morning from Canada,
two days later than our former advices, stating that the
fine appearance of the forth-coming crops has entirely
disappeared ;—first, from the great drought in Upper
Canada ; and in Lower Canada, from being destroyed by
the fly.
Accounts from Havre state, that Rivadavia, Ex-Pre-
sident some years since at Buenos Ayres, had arrived there.
