CuARLEsroN, Sept. GA friend, to whom
we submitted our Havana papers for transla-
ton, has furnished us the following summary
OF their most interesting contents =
Our dates from Vera Cruz via Havana, are
10 the I4.h ult On the l2th, in consequence
of an agreement TO that effect between Col.
Santana, and the Vice-ROy, Gen. O'Donoiu,
the gates ofVera Cruz were thrown open, aud
free communication was permitted between
the inhabitants ofthe city and those OF the
country. At the same time, the prisoners on
both sides were liberated.
On the 9Th two commissioners were sent
by the Vice Roy, to treat with Iturbide. In
the dispatches (which they were the bearers,
Gen. O'Donoiu stated, that although his age
and many suiierings, mperatiyely demanded
repose, he had repaired from the peninsula To
the Mexican Kingdom, with view to calm
| the discontents prevailing there, and if posi-
| he re-estabiish peace and concord in that
once favored country adding, that it was in
the power of Iiurbidc, the commander in
chief of the Imperial army of the three guran-
tees, TO crown himself with eternal Iaurels by
promoting the happiness of his country
This desirable end was To be obtained by
concluding the armisticc, which the Imperial
Chief had proposed on the 18th of March, to
count Venadito, the former Vice Roy, and
the absolute rejection OF which was complain
cd of by the Mexican leader, in an address TO his
army, dated the 20ih of June.-And finally,
O'DOnoiu urged Iturbide, as possesscr of the
intermediate country, to permit him TO pass
nnmolested to the capital, where measures
should be adopted, and treaties concluded for
the suspension of all hosttics, until the final
determination of the King aud Cortes.
Ontha 18th, The Vice Roy received an oilici-
a! letter from Col. Horbejon, requesting per-
mission to enter Vera Cruz, in company with
another officer, and small escort, for the
purpose of delivering to II. f.. important des-
patches, touching the interests of both SPANS
This request was acknowledgement.
Puebla capitulated on the 18th of July
And here ends, we regret to state, our inlor-
NATION from that interesting part oiSpansh
America. TO complete the chain of events
from the 18th to the cath ofAugust, on which
day the armislice was concluded between tho
Constitutional RoyakStS and Constitutional
JmperiatiStS, we are in want the Intervening
dates between those two periods This may
he attributed either to the irregulurity with
which political intelligence is published in the
Havana papers, or ID the omission of one of
The papers composing the regular file.
1t is to he observed, that Ilurhidc, the leader
OF the reYointionists, assumes the title OF
" Chief Of the Imperial army Of the three
guarantees :" what these are, is thus explained
in the Havana papers So The three guaran-
tees are, LIST, that the House of Bourbon shall
have the exclusive right of filing the Imperial
throne OF New Spain.-9d, that there shall be
perfect union between European and AmeIi-
can SpaniaiGs, who shall be equally entitled
