ITURBIDE.-Extract of letter to the Editors
of the American, dated
"HAvANA, 10th August, 1924.
Yesterday anchored in this port, the British
brig Spring, Captain QueIch 1.-THE same that sail
ed from southampton from Soto la Marina, who
reports that off the Isle of Wight, he received
from on board steam boat, the Elk Emperor
lturbide and his family, consisting Of ~ persons
his wife SONS, neces, chapIains and servants
whom lie landed on the 9Th ult at Soto La
Narina-So far is official TO this government
But IT is further reported that he was received
with open arms by the people on the coast, that
he refused to be escorted by part of the garrison
OF Soto la Marine in his journey into the Interior
and that he had been invited by the most infuen-
tIal men in the country to return, as the ONLY
man who could rescue it from the misery and an
archy III which it had been plunged, by the in
discretion and timidity Of set of men who had
no influence nor credit, and who were incapa-
BILE of governing. 'Tis also reported that there
were four provinces that declared in his favour
as soon as they heard of his landing-and ano-
Their runour Is, that lie was assassinated on the
fourth day after leaving the coast-The latter
is not believed, and 1t is expected that the first
measure ofIturbide's restoration will be the an
nuiling the non-inteTcourse law, which prohi-
bits all trade between that country and Spain
and her POSSESSIONS
From the kingston ROYAL Gazette of JUN II,
received at The Qtice oc tie .9nueJtcan.
We have just received letter from Panama,
dated the eth ut. and hasten to give our rea-
ders the following extract from it:
:" send you an official account of the defec-
ton of the Spanish General Planeta, who it ap-
pears, has put himself in communication with
some Buenos Ayreans on the frontiers of Upper
Peru, which will act as a powerful diversion in
favour of the operations of Gen. Bolivar on this
side.
GA general engagement was expected TO tack
place IN Peru in all this month. The appear
ance of a Spnish Force on the other Coast has
prevented the arrival of some troops here des-
tined for that country but notwithstanding this
circumstance, am not apprebensive of the is
sue of the campaign. General Bolivar has
force oftpwards of1O,00O good troops with him,
well clothed, orgaDzed and disciplined, aud far
superior 10 any thing, from what we can Learn,
that can be brought against him.

at the low est ebb Of moral debasement.n
