*ir MEXICO. -lir FROM LAST NIGII7"S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCIES EN I. ARG ED. By way of Charleston advises have been received from Havannah to the 29th of October, which tar nish the latest intelligence of the state of Mexico. Addresses had been presented to the Emperor Itur tide from various public bodies and districts of New Spain, complaining in loud terms of the oppressions experienced by the people under his government, and upbraiding him with having violated his oaths made in presence of the Congsess. Their tenour may be sufficiently collected from the following re quisitions to Iturbide, which appear in the address from the province of Santander. They beseech his Alnjcsty— I. To be pleased to order the immediate release of the deputies to Congres. ted on the 2tith of August, and ail those subsequent to that date. " 2. That Congress meet at a place of their selecting, and where they way deliberate wi.l4 absolute freedom. " 3. That the present Ministry be deposed, and punished according to law. " -1. That all military triliumils of public safety he ex tinguished and suppressed, wherever they are already esta blished. •• 5. That every individual in Mexico and the provinces, imprisoned on suspicion, and in consequence of the circular' • of the First Secretary of Slate, dated on the 27th of the avid plow!, of August, be liberated ; those who may be convicted of any crime to be tried according to law, and by the compe tent tribunals ; and, lastly, that the fundamental laws adopted for the time bein6 be observed." Some measures had at length been adopted at Vera Cruz for gaining poss:lssion of the castle of St. Juan de Ulioa , for which purpose proposals, of which the following is the substance, had been made to Davila, the commander of the fortress, by the Council of Vera Cruz :—That as he did not possess powers from the Spanish Government, authorising him to surrender that fortress, that he should.never theless abstain from hostilities, and preserve the peace and harmony which ought naturally to subsist between the two countries. They assure him in this event, that Spaniards coming to settle in Mexico, from the moment of their arrival, should enjoyall the privileges and advantages of citizens, without being subjected to the time, &c., prescribed by law for other foreigners. Spanish inet . chant vessels to have certain exclusive privileges allowed them.— That in the mean time no hostilities should be under taken on either side ; but that the fortress and the city should continue the relations of amity. It was to so stipulated, that the Governor of Vera Crus, should pay the expenses of the garrison while this state of things continued ; it being understood that the Commandant should obtain from interfering with or exacting duties from all vessels entering the Bay, including those of Spain. Spanish men of war to be under the immediate controul of the Com mandant of the fortress. Vessels ladonging to the empire of Mexico to be allowed to enter the port freely with their colours flying, and while in port to be subject to the control of their own government only. No change of commanders or introduction of troops into the fortress to be allowed during the continuance of this armistice. These proposals were carried to the castle on the lilt of October, by a deputation from the Council of Vein Cruz, and it was asserted that Davilla had required three days to consider them. In the mean time great preparations were making to attack the castle, in the event of their not coming to terms; sal rive regiments had been ordered down for that purpose. W.

The momentary quiet that reigns in the political hemisphere at the present moment, may be well compared with that which pervades the natural one before any great convulsion. The answer from Madrid to the demands of France has not yet been received, but the anticipation that war must take place is proved by the slow, but persevering decline of all sorts of Stock, whether English or Foreign — it is certain that a declaration of war between France and Spain, or a commencement of hostilities would drive down our Consols leom 6 to 8 per cent. from the great probability that England would be em broiled in the difference by some means or other— und the reduction from 83 to 804 which has taken place, almost imperceptibly skews the opinion of Capel-court. The intolerant Orange party in Ireland have, we hope, overshot their mark—by the outrageousness of their conduct towards the present Viceroy, at the Theatre, they have shewn to the moderate Protestants that to exteiminate or enslave the Ca tholic population is the cud they have in view—and thus all the respectable, rational part of the Pro testants have been detached from these blood-thirsty Orangemen. We are at a loss to suppose how these ruffians can reconcile their assumption of exclusive LOVALTY, With so decided an opposition to the be nignant and conciliatory wishes and commands ex pressed by his Majesty on his late visit to " the Emerald Isle.' ' Extract from the Sierra Leone Gazette of the 2d June, 1822:—" By his Britannic Majesty's ship Myrmidon, on Monday last, we received the dis treasing information of the loss of one of the Spa nish prizes, the koman, of Havannah, taken in the Bonny, on board ui which, melancholy to relate, nearly Jinr hundred slaves, and sixteen seamen of the Iphigexia, perished! The officers in charge, Messrs. Betty and Doughty, are unhappily among the number of the sufferers. At the time this dread;Ul catastrophe occurred, the Yeoman was in sight of the Myrmidon—and from the violence of the tormu'o in which she was upset, any assistance was totAly impossible; indeed, we understand the first intimation Captain Leeke had of the fi , ct. was From the boat of the Yeoman, which be picked up 'our days afterwards at sea, with seven seamen, who had miraculously saved themselves from the wreck. When the examination which is now being taken by the Commodore, is completed, we shall have the painful duty of publishing further particu lars respecting this: truly heart-rending event." The Marquis Cannl:n has paid over to the Con : sllidatcd Fund the sum of 9,0711. 13s. 5d., being the amount of fees which his Lori hip had relin quished as Teller of the Exchequer fur 1822. A Frankfort Paper states, that some English spe culators have sent an agent to Greece, to negotiate a loan of 200,0001. sterling with the insurgent Chiefs. The late visit of the Duke of Cambridge to En gland was occasioned by an ill state of health. The dt ctors advised sea-bathing, and Brighton was con. sillered the best adapted to his state as well as for his native air. His Royal Highness derived consi dt rable benefit during his stay here, and returned to Hanover in excellent health. Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated the 31st of October:—" The situ ation of this place continues perfectly tranquil, and more satislitetury for future prospects, in consequence of very vigorous measures being at length adopted by the governor of the city, to repress the turbulent populace ; and many of the ringleaders in the late disorders have been publicly executed. From the quarters of hostilities uu intelligence of any interest has lately been received." The Journal de Mid use gives the hollowing; ac count ul the arrival of th e U rge l R egenc y at P'Per pignan, in a letter from that place, dated the 4th inst. ;—" Yesterday arrived the :llarquis de Muti& rida, and the Ministers Andra and Gispert. In the same carriage were the son of the first, the ph, sician, and the almoner of the Regency. They are lodged at an inn in the sulmibs. Soon after their arrival the two Ministers waited on the Prefect.— The Minister of war was in Mil ceatume. Among the equipage was remarked two mules, charged with four caskets, which contained, it is said, the ae chives of the Government of the Regency." ITALY.—The clergy at Rome consists of 19 careinals, 27 bishops, 1,450 priests, 1,432 monks. 1,461. nuns, and 332 seminarists. The population .of Rome, with the exception of the Jews, consisted in 1821 of 146.000 souls. The births during that year were 4,736; the deaths 5,415; and the mar riages 1,205. It is said to be the intention of Government to propose in the next Session of Parliament, a tax upon property, but not a tux upon income arising from professions or trades. It is likewise said, that the old 4 per cents. arc to be paid off in the 34 per cent stock ; but this rutnuur is not credited in the • city. 'RIOT AT THE DUBLIN THEATRE.OH Saturday night, the Marquis NVellesley went in state to the play. It is necessary to remark, that the liberal Government of his Excellency, in endeavouring to put an end to partykrimony, and to restore harmony among all classes in Ireland, has rendered him pa, ticularly obnoxious to the o.ange Faction. When he entered the Vice-regal box on Saturday night, lie was received in a manner the most flattering by the respectable part of the audience; but their cheers were soon drowned by the shouts anti hisses or a number of vulgar fellows in the gallery, be longing to the Orange Faction, so notorious for s inso - I,:nce, ignorance, anti audacity. These fellows during the play, annoyed the audience by continu ally hissing the Viceroy, cheering Alderman Darlev, and uttering coarse vulgar execrations against the Lord Mayor, who is a man of liberal sentiments, and a gentleman. At times they called out fur party tunes, such as " The Protestant Boys," and the " Boyne Water," while the Roman Catholics, roused by such provocations, were equally clam( - rous for " Garryowen," and " Patrick's Day." Duri-g this tumultuous and disgraceful scene, the Lord Lieutenant sat unaffected and unmoved by the malicious insults of the Orange Party, when to wards the close of the play a rutilan flung a bottle from the upper gallery, which struck one of the pann&s of the box, but fortunately without doing any mischief to the Noble Marquis, who by the atrocious act might have lost his life. The guares were then ordered into the gallery, and several of the rioters were taken into custody. . . At the meeting of the West of England Agner total Society on Thin sday last, in its Rooms, at Bath, the Marquis of Laustlown in the chair, a very important discussion took place, arising out of the Retort of one of the Committees, which represented tie state of the agriculturists to be utterly hopeless, without an immediate change of circumstances. To this an amendment was moved by Mr. Fage, cf Backwcll, and most ably seconded by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Lygon, of Worcestershire, and supported by Sir John C. Hippisley, who spoke with a vigor • , acmcoess, and effect, wbich, when the Hon. Ha declared his a g e to be 77, excited great applause.— The speakers maintained that the 'Pate of the agr eultut;sts was bad, but not such as to excite despter; that the country was improving, and would • prove ; and that any statements from such respect'- We a body as there assembled, which would tend to unnerve Englislimen,,and paralyze honourable exer tion, must do harm. Sit T. Lethbridge, Mr.Elwiti, and other gentlemen, must energetically pressed the reception of the retort, maintaining that every We of the statements of distress was true, and tit the truth ought boldly to be given out to the worle. The amendment was subsequently withdrawn, and the report received and confirmed. LorinEvirv.—ln the course of this year seven persons have died in the poor-house of Lyn' Norfolk, whose united ages amount to 691 years.
