quiet had been restored in Old Spain while the
Emperor Of New Spain was Just beginning TO ex

Addresses had been presented 10 the Emperor
ITuRBIDE from various public bodies in Mexico
complaining in loud terms Of the expressions ex 4
perienced by the people under his government, and
upbralding him with having violated his oaths made
in the most solemn manner in the presence Of the
Congress Of the Empire. They represent the coun-
try as sinking fast into ruin and undisgusedly ex-
press their determination to restore it to liberty,
perish in the attempt.
Proposals, of which the following is the sub
stance, had heen made to Senor Don JOSE DAvILA,

control Of their own government only. No change
of commanders, or introduction of troops into the
fortress, to be allowed, during the continuance o

These proposals were carried to the Castle on the
18th Oct. by deputation from the Council OF Ver
