EMPEROR ITURBlDE.

A gentleman lately returned from Mexi-
CO, states that lturbide's coronation took
place on the 2lst of July, with uncommon
splendor, in the capital. It appears that
the Mexican troops were not all disposed
to cry long live the emperor--a chosen
band who had been stationed expressly
with loaded muskets, succeeded, however,
in .ilencing the cries of the malcontents.
Although no regular Mexican newspa-
pers OF late date have come to hand, we
have two or three pamphlets, describing
with much minuteness, all the pomp and
ceremonies of the coronation. 10 Judge
by these, the browning of George Nv. or
Napoleon |. were but childreE's play in
comparison. By the following extract it
will appear that the clergy were among
the principal actors.
The ten bishops of Mexico being placed
near the throne, thus addressed the arch
bishop: "The holy mother catholic church,
intreats of you, 0 most reverend father. TO
deign to raise To the imperial dignity this
worthy soldier" presenting lturbide y
The archbishop then asked in reply: DO
you hold him worthy and propose him tor
that dignity ?" The bishops answered,
" We know him, and are persuaded that
he is worthy, that he will be useful TO the
church of God, and that he is fit for the
government of this empire" The arch
bishop then cried " Glory to God" The
emperor drew near the archbishop, and
Frustrated himself bare headed before that
prelate, took the following oath: +" |, Au-
gustin llIrbide entering as servant OF God,
into the command Of the empire, do pro
test and promise before God and his an
gels, from hencetorh, through divine grace,
and TO the best of my knowledge aud abb
lily, to observe aud keep Law. justice and
reace in the church Of God and among all
The people my subjects, and to put in force
whatever The council of the faithful may
Conceive most fitting and best. also pro-
mise TO render to the bishops OF the church
the honor which is their due, as ordained
by the holy canens; and to respect as IN
yiolahle all those things which kings and
emperors have conceded and wiiIed 10 the
churches"
He then laid both hands on the book of
the eyaDgelists opened before The arch
bishop. and said, inasmuch may God
and these holy Evangelsts help me-
He next kissed with reverence the hand
of the archbishop. who then placed the
crown upon his head and repeated pray
