• MIMICO.

Letters dated .the 28th of October were received yes-
terday from Havannah. They state, that on the 29th
of Sept., Iturbide, the leader of the army of the Three
Guarantee., and General O'Donoju, became masters of
the city of Mexico without resistance, either from the
Chiefs, the corporations, or the select part of the lithe-
hitants, who all decided for independence. Davilla,
the Governor of Vera Cruz, had thrown a strong force
into the fortress of St. John de 1.7110 a, which commandr
the city, but *with this exception the whole of Mexico
is said to have fallen into the power of iturbide and
O'Donoju. Sone• obscuritt hangs over the present
proceedings and ultimate vietvd of those Chiefs, which,
at this- distance from the scene of action, and with
our seinty means of information, we cannot pretend
to ' Bisvel. The conduct of O'Donoju seems ex•
tretnely suspicious, and by entering Into a treaty
with Itnrbide, be has communicated a full portion of
the tny story to the latter. Ile leaves Madrid, and
passes the Atlantic to govern Mexico in the name of
Spain ; and he no sooner arrives than be renounces
his allegiance to Spain, and declares Mexico inde-
pendent. Instead of joining the party that seemed
favourable to the views of the mother country, he
treats with the chief of the Insnrgents, and proceeds
to the capital of the colony at the head of troops
which his commission from Ferdinand, it might 6e
supposed, authorized him to repel, and if possible sub-
due. Triumphantly established in Mexico by the
side of the prime mover of the late revolution, and the
author of the " Three Guarantees," he is employed
in organising a force to reduce the petielhhist ferirmilest
which still held out for the mother-country, which he
came to represent. Such are the facts ; and specs-
lation busies itself in vain to find a key for esplainlag
them, or reconciling their apparent inconsisteocies.—
By some, O'Donoju is thought finally to have re-
nounced the cause of Spain, when, arriving on the
shores of America, he found that the dominion of
the mother-country was for ever lost, and that leg
left free to consult the advancement of his o for-
tune, he joined the party in which the most'
pruspecte opened to his ambition. On this suyiroel-
don, his junction with Iturbide would be treachery to
his Sovereign, Which the tenour and spirit of his first
proclamation, on the 3'l of August, would vela jOs die.
prove. The writer of a letter from the Havanntith hoi
another hypothesis, which, however itnprobabletgail
be proper to state. To him O'Donoju
still the friend of Ferdinand, and the supporter'
ef the old system. lu joining iturbide be has,.
therefore,. made a convert to his views, instead of
changing them himself; and his entrance into the
capital of Mexico is to be followed with the re-eatablisb-
meat .bf the-authority of the King of Spain, ho, in
case of any disturbances at home, is to be • ited so
take up his abode in his western domitiions As fa-
vouring this supposition, we are required ; remark,
that O'Donojo's conduct has been cousiste.ut rem the
aoment of landing, and therefore probably in coc'o roily
with his instructions from home—that he I said or
done nothing that bears any apparent host& Spain.
Must of the facts stated, uu the contrary, tile con-
cert between O'Donoju and the King of Spa con-
cert into which the " liberating" tlenerae-as be Its
called. may have entered for valuable considera-
tions. If the priests and the nobles of ,Mexico, as
is alleged in some accounts, have joined he league,
or submitted cordially to the views of the two Mob,
the circumstance would confer some robatillity 90 au
hypothesis, which we mast wait far ailibiotlitypotiste
to refute or confirm .
