the desire of emigrating very general, particularly
among the Europeans, but passports are granted
and many are consequently detained The admin
islrato, of Addana and the commandment OF Puerto
Ruiz have lust been deposed. They did not suit
the existing order OF things.
The following extract OF letter from Mexico OF
the 22d. May, will more particularly exhibit the
situation of that country:
The History Of Hnbide's Coronation common
ced by his partzans exciting the GARRISON (consis
ting of 5000 men) to revolt and distributing money
to the under officers and popuace In order 70 give
the transaction the appearance OF pubic ana general
reclamation. About O'Clock at night on the 18th
inst some of the troops, intoxicated with liquor
assembled in a tumuuous manner at the Theatre,
loading their muskets with balls, and compelling the
people to cry out, Long lice .augustin the Jtrst
When issuing from the theatre they ran through
the streets, abusing thei' opponents, and voceFa-
ting, "I.ong live the Emperor" the weak and limo
rous were obliged 10 JON in the cry, and the bells
OF the Churches were RUG during the whole night
Al day light on the 10TH the President and all the
Deputies were summoned to assemble; but being
infoi med, and knowing that some OF the Deputies
were hostile 10 their measure, these latter were pre-
vented from assisting in the session, and thus 1t
was composed only OF the members OF their party.
The Congress at last was assembled and result
was such as as anticipated. The dissenting Mem

and citizens, held secret session, but the popuace
forced the doors when they sent to the regency Tor
military aid, who protested he had no men at his
disposal.-During this confusion. they called TO-

deputies had affirmed they had not The power 10
consent to his pretensions. Meanwhile the gale

officers, and the mob, all armed with swords and
poniards, and threatening the Deputies; anil if any
OF the latter even apparently oppo,ed the Corona
tion they vociferously exclaimed, "Lei him die, the
traitor" or some other menacing language.
The congress at last resolved to vote with closed
doors, but the factious fearing that the issue might
not answer their purpose, insisted they should not

From his narrative you may form some idea oil
he liberty the Deputies enjoyed, and of their pas
md actual situation. They stard exculpated mos
urely If the Provinces dlsapprnve this measure.
The present situation Of the T. npre is The mosl
miserable No money the soldiers obliged 10 d
luty, and march enveloped in mantle, without
hoes, and some actually dying with famine. Thel
'rovinces are oppressed, and the number Of disaf
ected persons in all probability will bring forth al
ivi war.
We see the government disgraced; Monks Il
nqulNition, and all concomitant evils are ready tol
all on the Empire, which we fondly hoped, would
