LONDON:
moNDAT EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1821.

A private letter from the Havannah received this
morning states, that a suspension of arms has taken
place in Mexico.

New York Papers arrived this morning to the 26th
September, from which we extract the following
FROM THE GAZETTE OF THE 24TH.

Indies and Gulph of Mexico that shall rendezvous by
the 15th flay of October next, in latitude 37 degrees
North, andelo leagues east off Cape Henry of abe

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PERNA:HUECO, At:G. 25.
On Satnrolav evening, the 21st ult. the General of
this place in passing the bridge of Banavista, in eons-
pany with his private secretary, and a merchant lately
arrived from England, bat a Portuguese, was fired at
by a man concealed at the quay. The Uensral was
wounded in several places ; the merchant accompanying
him was also wounded, I nth are, however, in a fair
way of recovery. The . onse hence of this has been
that more than 200 persons have been apprehended,
and are still confined in various prison'. It is said that
Lisbon will he their destination. On 310allaY follow-
ing a body was found floating on the water, which
was exhibited the whole day in the streets, with a
reward o:rered to any one who could give information.
Government suppose this to be the person who fired at
the General, for on his firing he threw himself into
the water. A large pistol was found between his
jacket and shirt. Two pieces of Horse Artillery, and
50 (cot, with the same number of Cavalry, are plant-
ing the h . use in which the Governor lays woumled.
(COMMERCIAL ADVENTI'RER Or THE 24TH seer ]
FROM HAVANNAII AND MEXICO.
An arrival at Mexico has furnished us with dates
from Vera Cruz to the sth of August. On the 341 of
August General O'Donojn landed at Vera Cruz as
Captain General and Political Chief of the Kingdom
of Mexico, the title of Vice Roy having been abolished
by the Constitution. On the same day he issue& a
Proclamation to the people, and on the 4th, in a pub.
lie address, be congratulated the troops and inhabit-
ants on their having annihilated the enemy's forces
which hail appeared before their walls, the greater
part of which, he observed, paid for their temerity
nit!' the loss of life and liberty. On the :nit!' ult. a
fleet of 20 merchantmen sailed from the Havanna!' fur
Cadiz, under convoy of two sloops of war.
Cuanissrox, SEPT. 10.—Captain Jelielfße left St.
Jago de Cuba on the 20th of August ; informs that the
troops composing the Garrison of Boyce Chiea had
arrived at Cuba an prisoners of war. The capture of
Bocce Chica must soon lead to the fill of Carthagena,
and the latter place is probably in possession of Boll-
var. The reinforcement of troops which is- supposed
to be levied in America, have positively refused to take
part in the war, and have been sent to Jamaica. where
i they arrived the 10th of August. Although the dif.
ferences existing between the United States and
France have not yet been settled, American teasels
continue to be admitted as formerly into the colonial
ports of Martinique and Guadeloupe. .
CI'IMACOA, AUG. 11.—The Governor has received
official information. from General La Torte, dated 29th
July, of Legatira having been declared in the same
state of blockade, as the harbours and coasts of M are-
.caibo, Coro, and Barcelona, and that all vessels attempt-
ing to enter Lagnira, reckoning for 14 days from the
date of Torre's dispatch, will be considered as good ad
lawful prim.

one death, from milignant fever on Saturday lath ion-.,
two on Monday 17th ; and two on Thursday the Ititb.
They rate that the number of new eases and deaths
has greatly diminished during the last week.
PIRACIE4.—Many of the lute Piracies seem to pro-
ceed from a nest of ruffians whose place of resort is
somewhere near the Havaanah. It is to be hoped ef•
fectual measures will .be adopted by the Government
to extirpate them. A siagle sloop of wir or even a
C. Stutz schooner would suffice. On so occasion

By Paris papers to the 20th we have received an
article of the 7th inst. hem Vienna, which says--" We
have just learnt that our capital will not he lionotirml
L uo
by the presence of the King of Great Britain. d'Ainee
Nicholas Esterliazy, in consegnence of some gracious
expressions addressed to him by that Monarch respect-
ing Vienna, had imagined that it was his intention to
visit it, and had sent orders by an extraordinary courier
to make suitable preparations at his residence of
Eisenhart., in Hnngary, and at his palace in town.
These preparations have now been conn-ermanded by a
second courier." The intelligence from Ba;codona is of
the most afflicting nature. It comes down as late as
the 6th instant, when the ravages of the fever were
still on the incriese. M Toitosa and in the vicinity
of that town it raged with still more violence. These'
papeis also bring accounts of the capture of several
fortified towns by the (;reek's, and of the geieral pro-
gress of their arms in the Morea. From the °rollers
given by the Emperor ALEXANDER. on his arrival at
Witepsk, in his way to visit the various corps of his
army, and from a superior (officer having been dispatch-
ed to the bead-quarters of Count WITTGENsTriN, on
the Pruth, it is inferred that a settlement of the slit.
ferences with the Porte has not yet taken place. Baron
STitoCoNo7F, it is said, was• grael-lisly received by
the Emperor at Witepsk.

Madrid papers to the Bth inst. which have come to.
hand, contain declarations from the Boards of Health
from various provinces, describing the sanitary state
of the districts under their jurisdiction. These reports
arc generally favourable, with the exception of that
from Part St. May's. The public health at Cadiz re-
mained unimpaired. The Cortes are constantly en-
gaged in discussing the important plan for the new di-
vision of the Spanish territory. in one of the Spanish
papers, the Clkirersal of the Bth inst. we find part of
a in onifesto of the Political ('hiefof Aragon, respecting
the late occurrences at Saragossa, in whirls he contra-
dicts some parts of the statement of Kiev, which was
pahlished some time ago. lie declares that he never
meant to intlitile General Riego in the charge of re-
arblicanism.

The Holy Alliance, the S ociety for the Suppression
taf Vice, and other Associations, look on with Chris-
tian charity and patience on the decapitation and nsur7
der of Christians in Constantinople, and the reiterated
persecutions of suffering hatnanity in every part of
the Turkish Empire. But the Grand Signior is aLc
Aritimate, and nut accountable for those cruelties which
Make humanity st utlaer; besides the Christians in those
parts have committed a grand political crime, which
serer can be forgiven by such moralists, such
rtli-
giocists, such living Saints, whose thoughts are not
on the pumps and vanities of this wicked work!, or
the sinful lusts of the flesh, bat upon higher objects
sot upon the sufferings of Greek*, who without the fear
of the Lord before their eyes have declared for liberty
and the Rights of the People; which. alone. is a crime of
such magnitude, as to prevent the interposition of the
Religious Pretenders, whose sanctity is at market to
the highest bidder.
