“Napol<:o'r: foresaw with what rapidity the l*‘rench

powerfulprotection, and guided by science, could
attain tllc highest splendour.
Thus supported,’ this great statesman was no
sooner placed at the head of. government, than.
in the midst of his. numberlcss avocations, the
industty of France attracted his attention. He
saw clearly, that in the situation to which trea-
son and disasters not easily to be repaired, had
reduced the Ftcnclt navy, the war of tnachinery
and tools‘--in short, the war of industry, was the
surest, and the only decisive war that l:'rancc
could vvaye against England. The custom hous-
es, t'cstot'-ed to their most useful and principal ob-
ject, that of prottctin_t; the nation against the in-
iasion of foreign industry, were t-e-orgauizctl,

The old manufactories recalletltheir workmen,
and new ones rose up as by enchantment; the

perity.‘ .

The following is the substance of the note
which the Ottoman Government has despatchetl
to St. Petersburg, in reply-to the Ultimatum :.
‘ The Porte has always respected treaties with
other powers, and especially with R.us_sia. The
energetic and extraordinary measures taken a-
gainst the Greeks were only directed against rc-
bellious subjects. Every government has the
right, and even contracts the obligation, to pun-
ish traitors and all who disturb public order.-—
The Ottoman Government has disapproved of
the excesses committed by the populace ; but the
people had taken up, arms en masse to Clcfcntl
their religion and the legitimate Throne. VVal-
lachia and ,M-.~ld-avia could not be evacuated until
the insut-rection, of which they were the theatre,
should be entirely suppressed. and peace and or-
der re-established there. The detention of some
pt.-hips laden with com, in the Bosphorus, or in
‘the port of Constantinople, was a measure com-
menced by the necessity cfstoring the capital with
provisions; besides, it was the local authorities
which adopted this measure, without waiting for
orders from the (jovetntnent ; finally, the chris-
tians provoked this step, because the privatcers
kept the Dardanelles in a state of blockade ; the
Porto, however, is willing to grant a reasonable
indemnity to such Russian subjects as shall prove
that they have sustained loss by the measure.
‘ The free navigation of the Streight shall be
re-cstal)lishe(l. The Port: never entertained any
‘other views than ll]: punislnnentioftlte guilty,
all faithful and pacific subjects still continue to
enjoy the protection of the laws, and will not he

A letter from Vera Cruz of Sept. 24, says. the
following is the substance of accounts received
from theiinterior. _
‘ After thetrcaty between O’Donoju and hur-
bide. at Cordova, they proceeded to the neighbor'-
hood of Mexico; and it is slated by a person who
left that capital on the 12th, that a meeting took
place in St. Christobal, between Novella the Vice
Roy, _appuin'ted by the people of Mexico, and his
successors O’Donnju and Iturhide, at which were
' many persons or rank. for the purpose of‘cottlit‘ni"-
ing the treaty ;-and it is further stated that on the
15th, it was finally concluded in Mexico with
much pomp and harmony ; that the troops pass-
ed and repassed from the city without restraint,
and that all was peace. Nothing-‘is known oFfi
cially, but there is every probabilttysz-of'.. the cor-
rectness of these reports.’
Extract ofalcttcr, H.tv.tNA, Oct. 2071;.
‘ Report says that Novella, the dc:putyViceroy,
died suddenly, but this wants conlit utation. ‘What
is cerzaiti is that as soon as (Ylionoju presented
ctlgetl Viceroy by Novella, and the authorities ;
autlbeing in pus:-ession of the government, he
itntnediatcly called a meeting of the Cortes. a-
,-,-roeably to the treaty with lturbide in Cordova,
and in every thing ordered that treaty to be ful-
fill-.:d--his proclamation to that effect is in this
place. * ‘
‘ it is suspected that ()’Dunoju brings orders
from his court to the effect of confirming the in-
dcpcttdence of the country, but Da-illa, the gov.
ernor nfVc'ra Cruz, not knowing this, or affect-
ing not to understand them, holds out; has or-
dared all the useless‘ families away from the place,
the others have entered the castle of ban Juan de
Ulcea, whither the intelligence ‘is also transpor-
ted with every thing valuable in Vera Cruz, and
threatens destruction to the city in case ofan in-
vasion by the insurgents, and was to blow up [hc
castle if necessary.——P/Iilad. Guzczze,

The new Vice Roy has arrived at Mexico with
thclnsurgcnt Chief, where a conference has ta.
ken place with the Captain General of Mexico,
and an armistice for six days, which we presume,
will lead to the desired point of .settling all dis-
putcs between the two parties, and Vera Cruz
will, like all the rest of New spain, be declared
independent.
The object of the new Vgce Roy is to have the
constitution adopted throughout the kingdom. but
the clergy. who are powerful, oppose it; as in
that case the inquisition must immediately fall,
and the convents pass into the hands of the gov-
ernment to be sold in order to pay the public debt.

they were endeavouring to gain their indepen-
