The former empire of Mexico is now
converted into one vast federative re-
public-itis to become in other words,
a number of states, united and indepen-
dent, formed on the same principles
precisely as our American confedera-
ton. We notice that this took place in
the month of July, a month of all 9TH
ers, the most inauspicious to foreign
tyranny and oppression. The new re-
public Of Guatimala appears TO have
been recast on the same principles-a
distinct and federative government is to
be formed, maintaining with the repub-
lie of Mexico, the customary relations
of Independent States. We presume,
therefore. that the mission from that
country to our republic, charged with
proposals to be Incorporated under our
constitution as distinct member of the
American family,is now at an end.

The ship John Wells, Captain Har-

evening from Liverpool, bringing pa

don dates to the 7th of September, and
for the following summary and extracts
we are indebted to the Evening Post
Except what relates to the proceedings
before Cadiz, the intelligence by this
conveyance respecting
| FRANCE AND SPAIN
| is uncommonly barren. The latest ac-
counts received in London from Paris
are dated the Sd Sept. and from Madrid
the asth of August. There can be no
doubt that the French army was defeat
ed in their attack on Matagorda. The
silence kept up by the government pa
pers, had led to some doubts as to the
truth of the first report OF this disaster,
| but subsequent arrivals tending to con-
firm it, the funds at Paris fell considera-
bly,, and, according to the London
| Courier, the situation of affairs at Ca
diz, had caused considerable uneasi-
ness to the French government. Eve
ry attempt at negotiation bad tailed, and
there was no ground for believing that
better success would attend any future
proposals. The bombardment which
we had been repeatedly told was posi-
| Ggeiy to commence on the Goth Of Aug.
had been postponed TO the 2sth of that
month. on account, it is said, of the
non-arrival of Mr. Ward with dispatches

There are accounts from Zante of the
18th July, giving such minute details of
the defeat of the Turks at Thermopyle,
in the early part OF that month, as to
| remove all doubts on the subject. The
first shock is represented to have been
very violent, and the carnage great on
both sides; but after two hours hard
lighting the Turks were repulsed, and
! sought safety in flight, leaving behind
them 1000 killed and 600 prisoners; be-
sides 5000 wounded. Among the pri-
soners were Bclxin Pacha and II Beys
The Greeks say they never made so
great capture. The whole of the Turk
ish artillery ammunition, provisions, and
a number Of camels, fell into the hands
of the coaquerors.

| DgMARARA-NEGRO 1NSURRECTION.
An extract of a letter, dated St Tho
! mas, Sept. 4, says: "You will have heard
before this of tire terrible dust there has
been in Demarara. The negroes rose
to the amount of 5000, and gave regu-
lar battle to the Kings troops; they made
desperate attempt to cut off detach-
ment of the 2lst regiment as it was com
ing up, but they were defeated by the
very gallant conduct of lieutenant
who commanded the division. The a1st
| West India regiment and Georgetown
Militia of Cavalry were all engaged in
the afray, and behaved uncommonly
! well. The tu1nult was not quelled when
I the express left Demarara, but there is
every reason to hope that it is SO by this,
as strong reinforcements were immedi-
ately embarked at Barbados for the
scene of action.'
