From the Phil. National Gazette.
We arc indebted to a friend for a se
ries of Vera Cruz newspapers of a late
date. Every thing connected with the
concerns of Mexico, is now of interest
if not of moment, to the United States.
The following proclamation of the new
Emperor of Mexico, forms a pregnant
theme tor reflection, aWe must remark,
as a plea tor the character of onr hasty
translation of ibis document, that the
original is by no means _a good speci
men of composition.
I Haro de Vera Cruz, 20 May 1822.
Proclamation of onr Emperor, Senor
Don August in the Picul.
Inhabitants of the Mexican empire :
The wish to preserve, in addressing
you. the tone \nd confidence of a sim
ple fellow citizen, is even yet entertain
ed bv him, whom you have been pleas
ed to raise than that class, to the Impe
rial dignity. What have yon found in
your compatriot to render him wHittbv
of an honor so exalted and brilliant t
Di« you, perchance, see in him the
man, who emancipated the nation from
the tyranny of three centuries ! Is the
crown an ottering of gratitude, natural
to so magnanimous and generous a peo
ple ? Yes certainly—Gratitude, that
sentiment which Heaven has implanted
in all heart* ojf this delicious region, ne
ver shewtfc jU*Jf‘m greater force than at
«he time Avium our country reconized
v'rsclf free and independent. From
hut moment, 1 was struck with adnii
mtirtn of the thankful feelings of the in
wlnfants—then, were the diadem and
obedience tendered to me with Iree sin
ere acclamation; und I would have
leu accepted them at once, making to
ly country this lust sacrifice assuredly
»c most painful, considering my natur
disposition and the object of my
"isbos since I began to institute com
, prisons between the disquietudes of
V world and the sweets of solitude—
td not my very duties and services
edged to the country furnished me
with a twofold motive for refusing her
liberal offers.—Fixed in the principle
♦hat every thing should be given up to
country ; resolute and consistent in the
plan conceived for the recovery of our
'National Independence, and faithful to
♦he treaties concluded at Cordove with
a minister of the Spanish government, it
will not be said that Iturbidr availed
himself of the regard of the people, but
only to moderate the demonstrations of
their love and gratitude. Scarcely had
public opinion begun to manifest itself
through the press, designating him as
the persons to wield the sceptre of the
empire, when he endeavored, without
delay, to give it a different direction,
fie declared and proclaimed his own in
public and private, as citizen and ns
magistrate ; as one interested in the
gi ary of the nation and punctilus and
delicate in respect to what regarded his
•personal interests. The laurels of that
victory which broke the power of the
oppressors of his country quietly en
compassed his brows, and assigned the
proper limits to that (audible ambition, 1
which fecundates all the virtues. Why 1
then constrain him to ascend the throne,
from whose elevation he can no longer
with complacency the services
endered to his country, without feeling
himself pressed down by the recess of ■
his recompense ? The nation has so
willed it; and InmiUDE yields to her
supreme will, now that he ascertains
that it is not an inconsiderate move
■ inent of blind gratitude, but at irresista
ble impulse which always directs the
general wish to the end of public pros
perity.
The nation, indeed, desired it eager- |
ly; but was diverted from it by the
dangerous collision of opinions. The
} form of the government had no consis- (
tenry; it was threatened alike to be
- made the despotism of those who strug-
pled against her independence; and to
be annihilated by her most enthusiastic
protectors. Our country was exposed
to drench with her blood the steps of a
throne that a foreign prince might
mount it, and at another to be torn in
pieces by factions of her own sons. 1
Meanwhile a mortal paralysis began to
si; prevail, that shipped the supplies of the
national treasury, enervated the army,
benumbed thejgovernment, impaired the
vigor of the empire l , and prepared us to
be the easy prey of foreign invasion, of e
secret machination; or of intense dis- t
y cord. Every thing, in fine, betrayed c
certain symptoms of that same anarchy f
K into which the Mexican nation was a- li
1 bout to plunge, when the imperial army \
proclaimed her independence at Iguala.
.. And was the nation not to exert free-
H ly her will in such u crysis ? Was not a
k| the hand which was adequate to save (
hur m her preceding ominous situation, i
laid under an obligation, in consistency;
ever afterwards to protect and save her f
Yes, adored country, that same hand,
with the single aim of your preserva
tion, will sway the spectre which you
have confined to it! In the same mea
sure & spirit that he sought honestly to
decline it as a reward for past services,
will he labour to sustain the weight
which is added to it by the very oner
ous circumstances under which it is re
ceived. That which could not be con
ceded, without reproach, to your mere
gratitude, cannot blamelessly be denied
To-your service, to your benefit to your
authority.
You have before you now, fellow
citizen, the real impressions of your o
bliged compatriot. —Heaven is a wit
ness to them, that has deigned so visi
bly, always to countenance his sincere
aims. He.attests heaven, in proof of
those which have determined him to
accept the crown. You are also aware
of our deplorable situation and the ne
cessity of escaping from it by whatever
course. Fnil of virtue and moderation,
yon have chosen to pursue the dictates
of gratitude, and to exercise the right
inherent in every free nation, to estab
lish the form of her government, and to
nominate her chiefs.
The national will is respected ; and
he in whose favor h has been pronounc
ed, cannot umbrage at the dissent re
marked in some persons before the for
mal act which elevated him to the rank
of first citizen and chief of the nation.
Much less can those be objects of his
dislike and resentment, who, for their
dear country, will discover in him who
is charged with the common welfare,
only the tenderness of a fellow-citizen
and a friend—in the habit of obedience

sons of command unknown to those
who acquire power by hereditary title ;
unaccustomed to prejudice, vanity, and
adulation, he can feel an acknowledge
ment the supremacy of the law, and be
penetrated with the certain truth that
the love of the people is the felicity of
the Prince, and th§ kindness of the
Prince the felicity of the people.
Oh, let this be the glorious founda
tion of your choice ! and since, fellow
citizen, yon understand the motives
which prompted the acceptance of
your favor, at so great a sacrifice of in
clination, co-operate with me to the
end that the Imperial authority may be
constantly directed to the public weal ;
to the repulse 1 of all dangers which may
threaten it, and to the aggrandisement
of the empire; Above all be persuaded
of the very tender affection and cordi
ality with which the wishes of the na
tion arc gratified by
AUGUSTUS.

From Caracas and T.aguira
Our correspondent has transmitted to
us, via Philadelphia and New-York, the
“ Anglo Colombian©” (of Caracas) of
tbe Bth June, and files of the “ Iris de
Venezuela,” from the 27th May to the
10th Juno, inclusive. They furnish
only a few morsels. The ofilcial de
spatch of General Soublettfe of the 18th
May, containing rather words than
deeds. The “ Iris” of the 17th (a
week later) was received in Philadel
phia at the office of the “National Ga
zette.” In a preceding column we
have copied the extracts.
Our correspondent, speaking of the
victory of Bouvar, near Quito, says
“he has added fresh laurels to his
wreath. On the heights of Carlaco,
this distinguished chieftain gained, on
the 7th April, a victory, which like ano
ther field of Boyaca and Carabobo, has
liberated Quito from foreign tyrants as
those did Cundinaiuarca and Venezue
la.”
To the Editor.
Caracas, Juno 15, 1822.
Important intelligence has just
reached us that the army of General
Moralexin Coro has been completely
destroyed, and that he in a fit of des
peration shot himself with a pistol. —
Others suppose that he was killed dur
ing the action. Intrigues have already
commenced in the fortresses of Porto
Cabello; after having held out so stout
ly and so long, its late will now soon
be decided.
Junk 14.
Nows has been circulated to-day that
the Spanish frigate Ligera and brig of
war Hercules have anchored near the
Castle, out side of Porto Cabello, from
Curracoa, with provisions—the Patriot
squadron having suffered some injury.
If this intelligence lie correct, the Cas
tle will not surrender until ample mara
time forces be brought against the Spa
niards to compete with success against
their larger vessels.
From the Anglo-Columbiana, June 8.
From Puerto Cabello.
Our blockading squadron was engag
ed on the Ist with the enemy’s frigate,
the Hercules, and two smaller vessels
off this port. The result is not per
fectly known, but it is said the Irrigate
havebeen able to effect her entrance
with her couvoy.
Cisneros and his people have been
again fallen in with and dispersed by
Capt. Abandanos near the MuriclKs.
It does not appear tliat any blood was
shed, the robbers using their legs more
than their arms.
This robber who seems to be a sort
of scare-crow to all the old women in
Caracas, was encountered on the night
of the 24th ult. near Charalave, which
village he had been plundering, by Col.
Masero, and a party of the Battalion
of Orinco. It was too dark to use
fire arms with effect, but the troop im
. mediately charged the robbers who
. hastily dispersed having left behind
■ them 10 lances, some muafceta anti sa-
I hres, a flag, a drum, ‘and ali'the plun
r dor they had taken Charalfcve/ Some
of them* are reported tb' have since
- surrendered themselves.

The Duke of Wellington is stated to
have authorised a proxy to vote in favor
of the bill. Sir James Mackintosh, in
’ the House of Commons, introduced by
an eloquent speech, the following reso-
J. lution; “that this House do take into
its most serious consideration the means

' moderating their undue rigor.” On

report of the corn importation bill, ob

duced for discussion on that day. On
the motion of Mr. 11. Martin, the ill

The price of tea had been somewhat
affected in the metropolis, owing to the
stoppage of trade with the Chinese.—
The general opinion in London was
that the Chinese can as ill spare their

been overlooked.
Marquis Hasting’s return from India

Handsome Donation.
Previous to the departure of Mr. de
Neuville from this city, he presented
to the Library of the City of Washing
ton, in the name of his sovereign, a co
py of that splendid specimen of French
typography, intitled Grecian and Ro
man Iconography. This work em
braces the most authentic portrats of
the celebrated men of ancient Greece
and RomejWith their biographies; also,
numerous engravings of medals, coins,
&c. comprising some of ancient Egypt
ancTof Asia. The work was commenc
ed by Napoleon, in 1807, and is going
on under the patronage, and at the ex
pense of Louis the 18th. It is printed
in folio, of the size called imperial, and
is very costly in its execution, as may
be supposed when only four volumes
have been completed in fourteen years.
In making this valuable present to our
City Library, the Baron de Neuville ad
dressed the following letter to the Pre
sident of the Company, and received
the reply subjoined:

u The war which existed between
the Osage and Cherokee nations of In’
dians is, 1 am happy to state, about be
ing settled to the mutual satisfaction
of the parties, in which I have no doubt
the United States will participate, as
the government feels a lively interest in
its speedy adjustment. It has existed,
I believe, since 1818, since which time
many barbarities of the most shocking
character have been committed on
both sides, but more particularly by the
Cherokees, the Osages being more dis
posed to steal horses than to kill warri
ors. A council of the chiefs of each na
tion, will, it is expected, assemble at
this post in about a month, to effect a
treaty of amity, at which the governor
will be present. Having never witness
ed an assembly of the kind, I anticipate
the gratification of my curiosity at least.”

From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.
Effects of the System.
We have often "heard the remark that
the system adopted in Pennsylvania
of harboring and concealing Runaway
Slaves from the Southern States, would
■at no distant period be productive of
the most deleterious consequences, and
that the authors of the system would
regret having afforded an asylum to
many of the most abandoned, without
making a proper discrimination in en
deavoring to protect the tew who are
deserving. The effects of the system
are now becoming apparent as will be
seen by the following remarks of the
editors of the Philadelphia Union,
whose opinion is doubtlees entitled to
much consideration, as we presume it
would not have been so boldly express
ed if the facts could not be readily sub
stantiated.
Absconding Slaves**
For many years past the City of Phi
delphia has been a place of refuge for
the runaway negroes from the neigh
boring southern states. The blacks
have encreased among us, so as to have
become a serious nuisance. They
' will not work, but abandon themselves
to all the habits of idleness and vice.—
We are afraid that the Abolition Socie
ty is answerable for a large share of the
evils which have been entailed upon
us by this worse than Egyptian plague.
Great complaints are made by our
Southern friends, of our conduct in har
■ bouring these individuals. We know
there is too much justice in this. We
have heard of a negro being concealed
for weeks m_th£jJ”’elli<><; <rf
citizens, Who would have been utterly
■ dismayed if he had been accused of
■ hiding a stolen horse. Yet both acts
■ are equally condemned by the law.—
Whatever our feelings may be, we must
submit to law—we cannot change what
is written in the statues.
We have seen, occasionally, in the
papers instances of magistrates refus
ing to give any aid in the arrest of this
description of fugitives.—Their inter
position is not necessarry to the arrest.
By the act of 1793, every owner ol a
runaway slave is empowered to seize
or arrest him. It is the duty of the mas
ter, then , to take him before a magis
trate and establish his right to the servi
ces of the fugitive, by affidavit or
other evidence, taken before a judge or
magistrate of the State from which the
slave absconded. This being produced,
it is the duty of the magistrate to exe
cute a certificate of the fact, and that
certificate is a sufficient authority for
the removal of the fugitive.
There is a penalty of $ 500 on any
person who shall knowingly or willing,
ly obstruct an owner in recovering this
species of property.
We have given this statement of the
legal provisions which exist on the sub
ject of runaways, partly with a view
to stin.ulate the masters of those who
■ have emigrated hither; but chiefly to
■ destroy the security in which many of
the slaves indulge themselves, that this
i is a place where they cannot be touch
ed. They are as liable to arrest and
detention as stray cattle, and as long as
they continue in their habits of inso
lence by day and vice by night, it must
be the wish of every good citizen to see
them removed.
From Degrand-a Price Current.
“ THE NATIONAL ADVOCATE.
u I have too high an opinion of the
talents, sound sense, and Republican
ism, of the Editor of the New-York
National Advocate, to suppose that it
was with his knowledge and consent
that a paragraph, relating to myself,
found its way into his paper of the 241 h
inst.
“ On due consideration, he will un
doubtedly feel that it is a duty he owes
to himself to make a suitable apology,
for the crude notions then advanced.
“ P. P. F. DEGRAND.”
ANSWER.
I have too high an opinion of Mr.
Degrand's good sense, to suppose that
he is serious in requiring an apology
for a very gentle rebuke, which on re
flection, he must be satisfied, he merit
ed. Mr. Degrand publishes what he
calls, and what we understand to be a
Price Current , that is, a weekly ac
count of the state of the market—the
price of sugar, coffee, rum—the imports,
exports, sales of the week,&c. Ac. &c.
The Poet says, li men must be what
they seem,” and if Mr. Degrancl really
intends to be the faithful chronicler of
the markets, he must not wander from
his vocation, nor mingle in concerns
having not even a remote connection
with the objects which he professes to
pursue.
In one of his Price Currents he fa
vour* the public with an article signed
with his own name, on the concerns of
the Treasury Department of the Uni
ted States, in which we have the follow- 1
ing extraordinary and sweeping deck- '
ration from this Price Current financier : !
—“ The estimates of Mr. Crawford
render the plighted faith of the United 1
States of no value ”
If this be true, how is it that no oth- '
er person in the union but the publisher !
of a price current has thought proper
to notice it; and how is it that Mr. De- 1
grand has not condescended to point '
out the items in which the Secretary 1
has sacrificed the faith of tlie nation? 1
