LATEST FROM MEXICO.
BY the arrival yesterday of tho brig
Catherine, in 5 days from Havana, we
have received some late accounts from
Mexico, and particularly from the seat Of
war.
LA VERA CRUZ.
A cessation OF hostilities between the
Patriots and Royalists has taken place.
On the llth of August Colonel Santana
had agreed to the proposition of the Vice
roy that the gates of La Vera Cruz should
be thrown open the next day, that the
ed, and that the country people allow
ed to come in unarmed and in no great
numbers.
The following account of the articles
of adjustment entered into between the
Patriots and Royalists. at Cordova, OH
the Oath Of August last. has been politely
furnished by an intelligent friend, 1t will
be perceived that the Mexican leaders are
IN no great haste to vacate their authority
Mexico is already called Imperial"
There is something ridiculous in the idea
that the Monarch Of Spain throughout
| the two hemispheres, should leave the an
cient abode of power and the centre of
Empire, to become King of Mexico an
other Montezuma, with nothing but the
title of Cazique, We leave the reader,
however, to form his own opinions of this
| observation-disclosures we presume were
Ferdinand himself to consent to this
strange proposal. the Cortes who regu
| late the destinies of American and Euro
pean Spain, will view it as rather an i'll
adjusted, if, not total unfeasable bar
| gain, The Infantas' becoming Kings of
Mexico would make the case no better
a wheel within wheel must always dis
arrange the machinery of Government.
