PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 10.
FROM MEXICO.

Yesterday arrived at this port, the
schooner Highlander, Capt. Gibson,
from the port Of Alvarado, from which
place she sailed on the 28th May; and
brings official intelligence from the city
of Mexico, to the 25th of the same
month-on which day the Mexican Con-
gress, assembled in that city, and declar-
ed Don augustine Ynrbide chief Of
that government, 7pith the title Of En-
heror. We have received copy Of the
Proclamation issued on the occasion
published at Mexico
1t appears by the advices through this
channel, that, on the receipt of the intel
ligence from Spain, by the the Governor
of the Castle of ST. Juan d'Ciloa at We
IA Cruz, that the treaty entered into by
the Viceroy O'Donohu with General
Yturbide, and Cordova, having been de-
clared null and void, that the Congress
of Mexico resolved that every prospect
of amicable accommodation being at an
end, determined to proclaim total sepa-
ration and independence of Spain, and
the extinction of every title TO allegiance
to the royal authority of Spain and to
select chief Of their own country, and
Yfur6ide was nominated.
The Royal General Davllla, at St.
Juan d'Ulloa, had prior to this act, de-
clarcd war against the independents, and
had issued orders to all the Europeans,
particularly the troops that had capitu-
lated, to take up arms in support of the
royal authority. In several of the pro-
yinces these orders were obeyed, and
some partial instructions followed, but
in every instance the Independents tri
umphed, and general tranquility was es-
tablished.
Colonel Bradburn, in the service Of
Mexico, who is the bearer of dispatches,
brings official Information, that Minis
ter would shortly leave Mexico for the
United States, and in case of any de-
lay, that Colonel Cortes, now in this
city would be invested with full powers.
Information of the Presidents Mes
sage to Congress, recommending the
acknowledgement of the independence
of Spanish America, bad been received
in Mexico on the LIST of May, by Colo
mel Bradburn, who carried important des-
patches from Col. Cortes. The news
was received with extraordinary re-
ioicings, Examinations, and salvos oil
artillery were ordered throughout the
Citidels and cities of Mexico.
BY these advices we learn that Bishop
Mier, who had been seized and confined
in St. Juan d'Ulloa, had been released.
His case was made subject of deep IN
terest in Congress and the royal gene
raj was notified that twelve Spanish Off
GERS of rank should be subjected 10 the
like treatment as he should suffer; and
the officers were set apart by lot, and their
names communicated. The venerable
bishop was thereupon released and re-
stored to his country. He was at Alva-
RADIO when the ship sailed.
Gen. Wilkinson was at the city OF
Mexico and in good health. He is en-
tireIy silent on politics, having business
which requires abstraction wholly from
such affairs.-.Aurora.
Ii has been formally proposed in the
Spanish Cortes to punish the exclama-
ton Long live the absolute King,
with no less a punishment than death.
"Death," remarks the London Courier,
"ior single ou,cry !" "What would
this have been called when Ferdinand
VII.'was an absolute King" ~ r. I'D.
It was reported at the La Plata that boat
belonging to the Franklin "a, had been lost
on the coast of Chill, and with it lieutenant
