ALYARADO.

The news of the surrender of the Castle of ST.
Juan de Ullra, received at Alvarado on the
18th ult and on the 9th great rejoicings took
place throughout Mexico, which continued for
three days, agreeably TO the Presidents procama-
ton.
All was hustle and confusion at Alvarado, in
consequence OF the great preparations that were
making by the Inhabitants to remove to Vera Cruz
Furniture aad merchandise Of every description
were sirewed along the beach, ready 10 be taken on
board coasters. Several merchants had already
rented houses at Vera Cruz, and were only waiting
Tor permission from government to transport their
goods in foreign vessels free Of duty. The trans
pcrlation would however be delayed some time, as
the houses at Vera Cruz were in very bad condi-
ton, and would require good many repairs
People were focking into Vera Cruz from every
part oil the country, TO secure houses.
Several heavy gales had been experienced on the
coast, and good deal of damage was done to ship
ping The brig Jerome, Lee, Of New York, from
'larseilles, was lying at Lzardo, bound to Vera
Cruz. She experienced heavy gale on the Bank
OF Yucatan, ia which she threw over about thirty
tons oil paper. Bait finer.

Mr.. .fddington to Mr.. Cioy.

SIR : have the honor TO acknowledge the re-
ceipt OF your letter of the 9th inst. in which YOU
announce to me the definitive decision of the Pres
ldent with regard 10 the Convention for the more
efectual suppression of the Slave Trade which I
had the honor to submit for the acceptance of this
Government, on the 9Th Of November last.
In expressing my regret at the failure of the
benevolent efforts which have been employed in
cause 90 dear 10 humanity, may venture 10 as
sure you that, however deeply His Mae.ty's Co
yernment may feel the present disappointment of
their hopes, they will consider the unfortunate issue
OF this business as in wise affecting the friendly
feelings which exist between the Governments
and will accept, with pleasure, the expression of
the Presidents desire, that every exertion should
still be used for efecng the entire extirpa,ion of
that odious traffic, which the Convention was de-
signed to suppress.
cannot dismiss this subject without a brief OBJ
serva'ion on That part of your letter in which YOU
animadVert upon the argument employed in minsof
the on OF November last, relative to the Il passed
ny the Brush Parliament, for denouncine the
save Trade as Piracy. The expressions used by
you would lead to belief, that I represented the
passage OF that act the part of Great Britain as
rendering it Imperative on the American Govern

expense oil sacrifice Of their constitutional prero-
gatives.
