l%telli.ence from Mfexico, by w-ay of New York, was re. c-rveal y4tvterdavi t the 19th of April.

We annex ex- tracts from the NVeuw York papers au.d the private letters. As the esistin Governmeit appears to have been folly aware of their nger, the conseqtences of Iturbide's lanm- ing in texico may, perhaps, prove fatal only to himself, NrNEW YORK, MALvY I B3y a n arrival at Philadelphia ftrom Alvarado, accounts are received that the Mexican Congress, in thebegiuning of lastimonth, appoint- ed a comraittee of theit own body. consisting of eight individuals, to deliberate on the best means of maintaining public tranquillity, who reparted unanimoustly that zle entire want of moral strcngth anti energy on thepart of the existing Giovernmestt, anid the want of confilence in the provincial authorities, required that a " Supreme Director" should be forthwith appointed by th e Executive, vith Parcr to appoin' a Vice Director, (to nct in all cases of inability on e partof the Dictator); and who should also be Commander-in- Cai of the mi.itary forc:s of the country-have power to tfansfer the2 Governmctt and Congress from the capital to any other partof the cornu.trvto appoint inilitary commanders in any of the pro- viaces, end dispose os the military power generally-to obtainmoney on the crczdtof the nation-to .-sist at pleasure the acts of the Pro. vilcial Lemislatures.to; solicit foreign aid if necesmary-to expel fo- zeizners who have aot been naturalized, and finally to annul any ro the ncts of Congress, whentever thcy shiould interfere with his rasuref, &c.
