ty, the governor and Vice-Royal have
quarrelled seriously, and the latter with
the commerce ofthis place, who have sent
home adeputy 10 plead their cause, and
explain their business to the Council of
indies. In the mean time, the alarm is
soulided, and his Vice Majesty has coll
leeted an army OF near thirty thousand
strong, and is actually encamped there
with on one Of the Gifts of Mount Orisaya,
and has caused all the public and private
treasure of Mexico To be transported to
the centre of the camp.-This alarm was
caused by some news they had got either
from this place or some part OF the Uni
on, that the whole American Army was
under orders for the Western Line and
this place, aud that the President was to
take comnfapd in person in case of urgent
need. They further add. that Bishop
er-fiarti5us had arrived at Nsquoquedotch
with seven hundred Of the Van Guard
Those who pretend TO zee further than the
common sort, say, that the whole is a trick
of the Vice King to get the Cash part of
the property in his power, &c"
