' with money to seduce the soldiers, to whom they give

delude by promotion and increased pay.

A very calm and dignified Remonstrance has been
presented by the Spanish Ambassador at Vienna to
Count METTERNICH, complaining of the language
applied by Austria to the Spanish Constitution. With
much argumentative acumen, it points out the great
favour which that Constitution found with the Allies,
when it operated to the repulse of the legions of Isla-
PoLEosa fact which renders the present fashion
of decrying it still more improper and ungrateful.
The right of any Alliance (holy or unholy) to inter-
fere with the internal administration of independent
States, is firmly denied, and an explanation of certain
passages in the Austrian Declarations demanded.

We have received, at a late hour this forenoon,
Baltimore Papers to the 16th of June. • They con-
tain some very important accounts from Mexico to
the Ist of May, which fully confirm those received
via Madrid, which we have noticed above. The cause
of Independence appears to be nearly triumphant.—
The desertion of the Royal troops had become very
general. The regiment of dragoons of Mexico, that
of Tlascala, a column of grenadiers composing part
of the garrison of Vera Cruz, as well as the militia
of Orisava, had abandoned the Royal standard and
established their head-quarters at Huamantla, half-
way between Mexico and Vera Cruz, recognizing
Colonel ITURBIDE as their superior in command. The
regiment of dragoons of La Puebla soon after fol-
lowed the example.
The detachment of the Regiment of Tlascala, which
garrisoned the important point of Rau del Rio and
Puerto del Rey, delivered these positions into the
bands of a Patriot division, under General Vicrortro.
All the population of the coast had declared for in-
dependence. Orisava was taken by the Patriot
Commandant MIRANDA, on the 30th of March, and
Cordova on the next day. These two positions were
the depots for the Royal tobacco, valued at two mil-
lions of dollars, all of whichwas captured, notwithstand-
ing the greatest efforts on the part of the Royalists.
Almost all the garrison of Vera Cruz was marched
out to aid in retaking these places, but the whole of
the Officers and soldiers joined the Independents.—
From Puebla 500 men were dispatched with the
same intention, but they also joined the Res;olutionists.
Lieutenant-Colonel HERneRA and Major VILLCAMIL
had formed from those troops who had abandoned
the Rciyal cause, a corps of 2500 men, and esta-
blished them in cantonments at Huatzingo, in order
to protect the city of Puebla, where the Revolutionists
are masters. On the '2sth of April the port of Alva-
rado, 50 miles from Vera Cruz, was taken, and on
the 27th, the pert of Ilacotalpa.
Colonel BUSTANIENTE had also joined the Patriots
with the troops which he commanded in the popu-
lous province Mitchoacan; and it was said that he
had attacked and defeated a division of Royalists
under the command of Brigadier LOACES, and en-
tese.i Quaretero. On the 26th April, a desperate
action was fought at Tepiaca, about twenty leagues
from Mexico, between the Royalists under EBIA and
the Patriots under 1-lettnEnn and BRAVO, but. the
action was not decisive. The latter retired on Cor-
dova and Orasava.

On Wednesday, the LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND
received a warrant from his MAJESTY, declaring his
Royal pleasure to extend his grace and mercy to fifty-
