Chiarleston papers hae arrived to The 5th of February inclusive. The only intelligence of any import2nee to be found in them reltes to Mexico; and that is principally useful in contradiction to the rumours which the French and Miadrid journals persist in propagating, as to the pro- bable overthrow of the Independent cause in that valiable colony. The Charleston Courier of the 4th states, on the autherity of Havannah GOnletes to Jan. 27, that vessels were continually arriving at that port from St. Juani de Ul- loa, with officers, soldiers, and money; from whiclfthe Charleston paper very naturally infers, that the Spaniards are about to abandon their operations at that point against Mexico. The following paragraph from Matanzs shows that the people of Ilavannah still continue their allegiance tO FERDINAND, tlhough the inconveniences to which this obedlience subjects them, together with 'the chance of too great a change in the authorities, hold out no distant prus- pect of Havannah following the example of the other colo- nies, and declaring itself independent:- (From the Charleston Cozrier Feb. 6.) Extract of a letter from liatanzas, dated the 17th ult., received in this city by the schooner Planter :-" The people continue to bear the yoke of Ferdinand without murmuring. All the officers at present in authority were appointed under the Constitution: should the King indiscreetly displace too rnany of them, there is reason to fear some disturbance myv take place. We hear litte of nirates at sea now. Since the expiration ot the period l edf tn of Spanish vessels from the Mexican coast, severalcruisers have ar peared, and many captures been made betweenthis and Havannab. The fact is, this port nmay be said to be in a state of blockade; for neither the steam-boat, norany other vessel under the Spanishflag, has dared to leave it for several weeks past. This is a matter of much inconvenience, as vell to the natives as foreigners-it breaks up the intercourse by sea, the coasting trade and carriage being wholly carried on by Spanish vessels." The subjoined is the other paragraph to *bhich we have alluded: (From the Charleston Courier, Feb. 4.) FRO,tr HAVANNAH.-By the brig Rachael and Sally, we last evening received from our attentive correspondents at lavannalh, files of the respective Ga7entes of thet placec to the 27th ult., but, with the exception of marine intelligence, which will be found under the proper head, we do not find in the;n an article worth translatinz. Vessels are arriving at llavannah from St. Juan de Ulloa with offi- cers, soldiers, antl noney; from Which it may be inferre3, that the Spaniards are about to abandon their operations at that point against MNexico. LFrom the Cwrlegfston CLouricr of Feb. 6.1 Don IManuel Jose Aria, who canme to the UTnited States last year as a Commissioner from St. Salvador, Spanish America, is now President of the Republic of Gitatimala, and is negotiating a treaty of alliance with Mlexico. One of these papers contains advices from Lima of the 16th of October, which give quite a different version of the affairs in Peru. It states, that on the 4th of that months an expedition of 2,900 men had sailed from Chili for Pert, where General SANTA ORuZ is said to have ob- taitied a considerable victory over VALDEZ, and was at Are- quips with a force of 9,000 men. LA SastNA had evacuated nusco, in order to form a junction With CANTERAC.
