INDEPENDENcE.
LONDON, May Fl.
The King and Queen of the SarRwich
lslGnds.-These illustrious foreBne
were not presented at Court yestgday,
as had been anticipated, their recel bit ar
rival in this country had not afflrded
sufficient time 10 provide them with a
proper dress and equipage.
Arrangements are, however, ia pro-
gress, under the direction of the Earl
Of Liverpool and Mr.. Secretary Peel.
for this purpose, and no doubt, in d few
days they will be presented to his Ma
Jesty in due form. They have received
several invitations from Noblemen and
private individuals, but these haveIbeen
declined until they have an opportunity
of paying their respects to his MGesty
whose countenanoe and protection they
have journeyed hither to soliVit. The
King is man of pleasing counte nance
and gent!emanly department; he 5 tall
and we'll formed, and is dressed i'd Eu-
ropean costume. The Queen is alarge
woman, and appears fond of dress, which
she changes three OF four times day.
Her Majesty is somewhat .indisposed,
and frequently retires to rest, during
the day-she and her sister smoke their
cigars With as much govt as some Of our
modern handles, and constantly, amuse
themselves in playing cards.
Some days ago, Mr.. Russell, gentle
man who holds situation in the Ord
nance Office, Dublin, finding himself IN
disposed, took from small medicine
chest, a dose, as he supposed, Of EPSON
Salts, which he. dissolved and swallowed,
surprised at experiencing a sudden feel
ing of pain and inflammation, as he was
induced TO examine the paper from
whence he bad taken it. and, to his
great alarm, found he had taken large
dose of salt petre. A messenger was
despatched for surgeon Ferral!, Of
Bachelor s-walk, who attended, and by
a prompt application of the apparatus
for withdrawing poison from The stom-
ach, the whole contents of the stomach
were, 10 aboat a minute and haIc,trans-
ferred into basin. The operation was
unattended with pain or difficulty, and
so successful, that in a little more than
an hour, Mr.. Russell was pronounced
out OF danger, and his large and dis
tracted family at once restored to tran
guilty.

1t had just been placed within our
power TO communicate, on the best au-
'hority, intelligence of a very agreeable
nature, respecting Mexico, when the
news OF Ilurbide's departure from En-
gland, reached our office. This last e.
vent adds not only TO the interest, but 10
the importance OF The communication
we had TO make. 1t is this, and we re-
peat that it rests on the best authority ;
Mexico, by recent advices, received in
a highly respectable quarter has p,il on
a Calm and settled appearance, the. pas
sions which had for some time aglated
the country, have been materially II
not wholly tranquilized, and the asperi-
ties of party fined down and softened--
The provincial, or, as we would say,
the States Governments have become
moderate in their tone, and more reas.
enable than heretofore in their views ;
the General Government more fixed
and powerful. its administration has
been placed in the hands of men distin-
suished for learning, talent, energy and
aresoiute hostility tc Spanish domina-
top.--Don Pablo Lallave, formerly
Minister ofthe Home Department, has
been re-appointed, he is a man of great
learning and great ability; he had
some time since been named Ambassa-
dor to England, but again occupies the
situation in which he is expected TO
confer the greatest bcpefts on his coun-
try.-GeneraI Teran is appointed Min
isteE of War-he has been conspicu-
Gus character in the revolution, is a
brave soldier and an excellent officer
his spirit is bold and daring, and his
proclamatlons breathe an unconquerable
aversion to Spain and Spanish connex-
ions-he also directs the Marine De-
partment and is devoting the whele of
his time and energies to the necessary
detences Of the country and consolida-
ton of the government.-But that part
OF our communication which will be
considered as not the least important, is
yet to be stated.-~The finances of Mex
Ico assume prosperous appearance
large loan has been negociated in En-
gland, the terms have been ratified by
the Mexican Congress, and the securi.
ties arising therelrom are TO a large
amount actually lodged in rcspecta-
bic house in the United States. Such is
the intelligence we had in our power to
