IRON MEXICO.

New York Feb T. We have been favored
with the loan OF file OF Mexican papers to the
18th ult., brought by the schooner Lion. This
vessel left Vera CruX on the I7ih, when it was
said that rendezvous established at Cam
peachy, and several vessels had been chartered to
carry troops that place, destined for the expe-
dllion against Cuba
Our countryman, General Wilkinson, died the
latte part of December. His funeral took place
in the City of Mexico the 1st of January.
The paper of the latest date, states, that cou-
rier arrived at Guadalaxara tie 18th Decenl-
Der from Tepec, with information that an Ea-
glIsn vessel had just arrived at Mazatlau, and
brcuih news o; The surrender by capiulation of
the Fortress of Caao, having herself come direct
from that port. 1t is not improbable from the date
and source, that this intelligence is correct. Ma
zatIau is port in lat. % north, and Tepec and
Guadalaxara the direct road from thence to
the city Of Mexico
The papers contain the Message of President
Victoria to the General Congress of Mexico at the
opening OF the Session on the LIST OF January. 1t
gives gratifying view of the state of the country,
which is represented as prospecting under its pres
ent constitution bey ond expectation. The eXecu-
ton OF the laws had produced the hsppiest effects
in the interior--the finances fully adequate to
the wants oil The government, and the commerce of
the county in furnishing state. The Pres
dent speaks with gratitude OF the happy connec-

THERE'S nothing more known on The subject OF

iinue TO flow in, and to contradict one anolher.-
One makes his illness fifteen days, another FIVE,

one on the 3D. Dec. The Etoile, which arrived yes-

that man should die at Toganrog, because il is a

that there is any foundation for the rumour, the

LONDON, Dec. "a We have this morning
ceived Hamburg papers the 7th inst. Under
date OF Berlin 18th inst we find the death OF the
Emperor Alexander announced, and on the 10Th
three couriers from Berlin hal arrived In Hamburg
with the mournfll news. An article dated from
ST. Petersburg, Dec Sd, will now be read with
great interest 1t describes, with rather than
ordinary mnu,eness, the progress of the deceased
emperor. From this it would appear, that on the
9th inst. Alexander arrived at Symphoropol from
Taganrock, having travelled thither by the way OF
Nogaisk and Pefocop. On the following day,
after divine service, he went, by the new road
the south coast of the crlmea, to the estate OF
Count Michael Semenowtsich w oronzo'y where he
passed The night. His majesty, up TO the period
appears 10 have been in good health. He is stated
to have passed the 7th at Count Woronzow's, and

The demise OF the Emperor Alexander, OF Rus
STA, may be pregnant event, and has, no doubt
produced strong sensation in Europe. He is
succeeded by the Grand Duke Constantine, his
brother, whose character has generally been repre-
sented as very different from that of Alexander.
and whose name is sold to have been bestowed by
the Empress Catherine, in reference to Greek
empire, with Con-anlinopie as It's metropolis
In government like the Russian, the personal
character OF the Sovereign affects materially its
foreign policy as well as lis domestic condition
There is no likelihood, however, that Constantine
will abandon or relax the system Of the Holy
Alliance, OF which his brother was The head, and
