A letter from Alvarsdo OF August LIST,
furnishes the following -
We have received per express, the
news that Iturbide has been shot on his
arrival at Soto la Marina, on the 18th ultl-
mo-aa event which has gratihed every
we'll wisher to this country. You may
Judge ky this how far the spirit Of Repub'
Iicanism has taken root. Crowned heads
may maintain themselves in Europe by
means ot bayonets, but here in the New
World they are Justly consigned to the
worms. This happy event, and the tolci
destruction of the factiosos, in the province
OF Guadalaxara, where all the .rIngieaders
have been shot, as you will have seen OF
the papers, (among them German Baron
Won Rosenberg, wall insure internal tran.
guilty. Generals Bustamente and Quin-
taner are prisoners in Mexico, awaiting
their trial; they no doubt have misled ltur-
hide TO this foolish step, and will meet
with their reward General Bravo lwho
really has proved himself a second Wash
ioston) wilt take the presidential chair on
the FIRST of next month. The law made,
as TO election, and time of President, has
Just been copied from that OF the United
States.
The roads from hence to Mexico are
now clear of robbers: the famous Gomez
has been beaten second time, but es.
capped; he has lost many men, and applied
to Congress for an indultO, or amnesty, but
OF course rejected.
Business al this season is rather dull;
however, all such produce from France and
Italy as came nearest 10 those from Spain,
meet with ready sale; such as wines, bran.
dy, paper, oil, &c. German linens may
be sold at saving prices. 1t is now 10
contemplation in Congress to lay duty of

the 81 hitherto paid"

could have occurred for Mexico In
spite Of the indulgence with which he
had been treated by his political enc
mics, and the generosity with which he
was supplied with the means of very
handsome support for the rest Of bis
life, he APPEARS to have still enter
tanned hopes of recovering the daz-
cling situation and the dangerous pow
or he once possessed. It's impossible
to speak with perfect confidence
concerning his intentions in return.
Jag to Mexico for the same mystic.
w still hangs over the whole subject
which has marked it from the beginning;
but to judge from appearances, as we'll
as from the general apprehension, his
designs and motions were not wholly
disconnected with the wishes of Spain.
Such an opinion has prevailed very ex-
tensively. and great sol,citude has in
consequence been felt to learn the nan
ner of his reception. Mexican repub.
licanism has necessarily been looked
upon with suspicion, SO strong has
heretofore been the influence Of power
full SpaDiards among the people: but
the government have now stepped for
ward with great promp'itude to enforce
their own doctrines, and TO show that
the state is directed by more patriotic
ADD energetic hsnda.
All apprehensions from the attempts
of Spain must for the present entirely
subside. She has lost the means Of in
trigaing-the only eapons left in her
power to use against the liberty Ct Mex
leo, since her military strength has
been destro Dyed by domestic dissentons.
While this event restores at least tenn
porary security TO the Mexicans. it 10
to be sincerely hoped that they will
maketbe best use of peace and qu'etness
TO secure for the impr ovement ADD per.
