It has been known for several days that Air. Crawlbrd has becn Iafflicted with a relaplse of his disease. A letter has becn recei-Fd from a gentleman, dated at IWashington, just as the mail closed on Thursday morning, vhich states positively, that in consequence of ill health, 1r. *rawford has declined beinz longer considered a can- didate fot the office of President of the United States. It if further added, that Giovernor Barbour, in consequence of this measure, started for Baltimore, to consult upon the emergency with. General Simith. It is also said that cfirts will now be made to give the vote of Virginia toAlir. Clay. We give the news its we receive it, witliout comment. DECEMBEit I. [From the Natiotnal Gazette.1 By the Trimn,ner, from Alvarado, we have received a file of the Suat, published in the Mlexican capit;al, down to the 28th ult., and letters dated the 2d inst. frotni our correspondents at Alrarado. The contents of them are highly interesting. We are indebted to a friend for a copy of the Alexican Federal Coiistitution, as it was ratified by thle Supreme Congress on the 4th adt. General (Guatalupe Victoria has been electcd President of the URited Alexican States,and GencralNicholasBtavo,Vice-Presideit. The provincc of Chiapa, which was claimed by the United States of Central America and tite Alexican Union severally, and to which the option between themn was lett, has incorporated itsclf with the latter, while Soconusco has declared if intention of adhering to the fornier. The Mlexican Government has established a regular escort every two months from the capital to Vera; Cruz and Alvarado, for specie, &c. When any censiderable q:tat)tiLy is collectcd in the intervals of the stated periods, an extra convey will be farnished. The m ost imposing ceremonies were used in annoupreing to Presi- dent Victoria the final ratification, of dte constitution by the Con. gress, and in administering toltim and tltp Vice.President ife .eoth to maintaini and execute it with fidelity. In the solenri addresses and answers telivered on1 tlese occasions, theliveliest joy is express ed at the comnpletion of the great work which occupiied the Congres during ten montlis, and the tnost ardent devotion is breathed to the cause of independenceam tnl n1oyA. All was exultation in thle capital. The sentinmenlts uttered on cvery side were.such as we should expect in this country at a simtllarjujncture. It isjust;y said by the.Speaker of the Congress or Convention, that the labqprs of thbt bodv in framing the constitution were founded on the prineiples now recog- nized in the civilized world as the elemients of all good seeiat,organi, zation ; that they had divided the powersof governtent ; assgied the attributes and defined the limits of each; left to the several gtates. the entire administration of their domestimrconornss. establisliedjge. neral rules as links for the various parts of the federatiomi; divided the great whole int due proportions, and rescued the nation fronm anarcly and decay." - On the 5th of October, the Suprnme Executive Power issued coD- jointly a long mianifesto to the statcs, wbich iB full of the noblest princplpes and most liberal doctrines, and on the 10th of Octobqr the Presldent published a separate address from himiself, of a imniel lar character. His inaugural speecl. to the Congees was delivered on the same day. He refers to thbe xaibples of Penn, Washington, Jefferson, and Bolivar, anle xhbrts the Mtexican ndtion to endea.. vour to raise herself to the levc4 of our.iep blic. The same lan- guage is held in the elaborate atidress of the General Congress to the Mexicans, dated the 4th of October.
