Havana, Aug. l8.
By the Spanish schr. Legera, in IA days
from Vera Cruz, we have received the
news from that place as late as The I'd inst
by which we perceive that the grand farce
which was to secure the liberty and tnae-
pendsnce of Mexico, the browning OF the
Mexican Emperor, tturhide, has taken
place. The coronation OF this great Cin'
cinnatus ofNew SPAN the hero which
had promised to his csuntrymeD all the
happiness iInaginable--.his man, without
merit or virtue, and entirely devoid OF
those qualities which would qualify bim
for the elevated station ne has assumed, IS
now seated upon the throne OF Montezuma.
and has seized the sceptre which few
months since was in the hands OF the Illus
trious descendant OF Capet.
The first glorious ACTS Of the reign OF,
this new monarch, have been worthy OF his
noble and elevated soul-he has created
host of grand Officers of the Palace; and
of the order imperial of Guadalupe. in
which he has not omitted to name tbs IL
lustrious friend, theBisbop Of Pueb'a; he
has, with liberal hand, distributed Offices
and decorations as works Of distinction;
reservipg, without doubt, TO some future
day. to open the great chest, from which
is to come forth all the wealth and happi-
ness promised 10 his subjects which pro.
misses were so instrumental in enabling
this emperor to finally accomplish the hide
pendence of .Merlcoi We may expect al
so to see the re establishment of the lnqui-
sition which must be the inevitable tate
Of the unfortunate people OF Mexico.

PIRACY.
On the 18th inst. arrived The British brig
Zephyr, Cap,. M'Harrison, from Jamaica,
one Of the convoy bound to England.
Capt. Fl. spoke on the 18th, two days pre-
vious to his arrival here, the British ship
Belina, (lisewlse one OF the convey who
informed him that he had on board his
ship, the crew OF the British brig Victory,
which had been taken into the Co!orades,
and piundered hy pirates. They had al
so taken and pIundered the Industry, a
British brig but let her 60 after putting
the Viciory's crew on board of her. His
B. NJ. sloop of war Tyne, which conveyed
these vessels past Cape St. Antonio, was
then lying in this port-,he went imme.
diately out in search Of the two briggs, but
we have learnt nothing from her since she
sailed from hence. She is to convoy the
feet which has been lying off and on this
port since the 10Th, bound to England,
The two briggs taken by the pirates hat
valuable cargoes on board. There arose a
di.pMte between the Chief of the pirates
when Il ey took the briggs, and bis compa-
ny-he ithelr chief proposed numbering
the crews and burning The vessels, but
was opposed by his gang ; in consequence
of which scuffle ensued, and the chief
was killed by his own people.
Before this gets to hand, you will have
heard OF tbe:death Of the Governor, who
died Of the black vomit, and likewise of
the death of the Captain OF the Port, who
had been i'll some months. The fever is
abating here within few days past
P.S Since ! wrote the foregoing, the
American. scbr. Peacock, capt. Tuckey,
has entered this port. The captain in.
forms NE, that he was boarded yesterday,
60 miles TO the windward of this. by pl-
ratical schooner, manned principally with
Spaniards, who took him on board their
vessel, and robbed him-he knows not as
yet of how much. The pirate was appar.
emily about 40 tons burthen; and had a
bout 40 men on board. The Peacock is
from Boston in SO days, with cargo OF
lumber, lard, fish, mackerel, &c.
