can Congress had ordered the immediate
departure of Mrs Iturbide, and suite, for

bingham, who commands that station,
went on beard; he then offered Mrs.
iturbide to convey her to town, which she
accepted, and landed at Barataria on the
3oth September. The nephew of Itur.

proceeded in the schooner for Havana,
and thence to Baltimore. We UNDER
stand that Mrs. Iturblde intends pro-
ceeding to Baltimore, through the int.
rior.
The new constitution of Mexico was
TO be proclaimed on the 28th September.
From the inform alton we have obtain
ed concerning the execution of Iturbide,
it appears that he was betrayed by La
Cara. These are the details Lieu
tenant Colonel Beneski, aid -de-camp of
lturblds, having landed at Soto la Ma
| rino, under pretencc Of selling some
goods he had on board, had long confer
renee with General La CARA, on the
| subject of llurbide. La CARA told him
that lturbide was anxiously expected in
| Mexico, and that if he came, he Ga
CARA would give him the command OF
his troops. Upon this, Beneski told
him that * he would write to Iturblde,
the letter would be safely delivered 10
him by the same vessel returning to
London. La Garza wrote Immediately
to Iturbide, Offering him his services,
and all the means in his power TO serve
him. Iturbide, ON receiving the letter
on board, landed, and La CARA gave him
the command of his troops. But having
proceeded in the interior, and La Garza
beginning to fear for his head, persuaded
him that it was better he should enter
Soto Ia Marine as prisoner. Full Of
confidence in La CARA, he consented.
and shortly after was apprised, by this
same La CARA, that sentence of death
had been pronounced against him.
