Extract of u' h Per to the Editor, doted “ Havana, April I, 1821. « J avail myself uf tile sailing «f Hie sclioo- ncr Jane, to forward you a fill' of lire “ No- ricioso Mereaulil.” The brig Palriot, arriv- i d yesterday from Charleston, after a pas sage of I" days. There is also an arrival from Vera Cruz, with accounts from that ci ty to the 12th ult. It is said by her, that the Vice-Iloy of Mexico has been dethroned by the populace, and a new Junta formed ; de puties had been appointed by the Junta to go to Spain, and request a King from the Cor tes, to be. selected out of the Royal Family, and to reside amongst them ; or to acknow ledge the independence of Mesteo. ! g ve vou the intelligence as 1 received it—it is certain, however, that there has been a re volution in that country. Intelligent gentlemen who have re cently returned from St. Domingo, give n deplorable picture of affairs at that place, under th'e administration of Bo yer, who is represented as a man of no energy or decision of character, and bis reputed mildness is not appreciated as a very estimable trait by such a people as the Haytians. At the Cape, the im provements introduced by Christophs-, in manufactures, arts and trade, had much declined, and anarchy, discord and civil jealousies, with their concomitant train iif evils, prevailed. The dispersion of the treasures amassed by the late Empe- ror, had tended to increase the habitual idleness of the people. It is staled as a fact, that one of the Generals plundered from the imperial treasury four hundred thuviand dollari, before llic Republican President took possession of Sans Souci. The College at the Cape had ceased its operations, am! the learned Professors were dispersed. At Port an- Prince, likewise, insubordination, intrigue, and disregard of the laws, w ere the order of the day. The army' of Boyer was under had discipline ; it was not uncommon to see an officer with gold epaulettes, and all the glittering ornumentsjof his rank, nod at the same time barefooted and barelegged. All things appeared *to be paring the way for some ambitious Chief to raise his standard, “ cry hnvock, and let loose the dogs of war,” and wade through rivers of blood upio the throne. There is an inveterate hatred subsisting between the blacks and mulattocs, (lie. v consequences of which are continually noticed.—The trade carried on from the U. States, is ruinous, owing to the mar ket being overstocked with our produc tions, the high price of coffee, and the bad faith cf the merchant*, and the want of accommodation and facilities manifest ed by the government.

It was expected the Patriot nrmv in the neighborhood would immediately enter the city .J THE UNICORN. In the forty-seventh number of that invaluable work, the (4'iarterly Review, received from our correspondents at London, we find another amusing anJ interesting article in relation to the Snowy Range of the llyinalaya moun tains, forming that stupendous buttress which supports on the south the celebra ted Table Land of Central Asia. The article of which we speak, is a renew of n tour through a part of these moun tains, to the sources of the rivers Jumna and Ganges.

To the people, and to the representatives of the people of tile state of Georgia, a ve! important question it is reasonable losuppo will present itself—and it is equally impor tant tiiat every roan should divest himself of all prepossession and prejudice (if any In lias), *od answer it for himself candidly and conscientiously.

Extract of Letter from Havana. “ A royal decree,givingapremium ofti francs on every quintal of cotton impor ted into France, in French ships, from all countries in America, excepting the United Slates.” The above decree, we presume, w as intended to aid Mr. Hyde dc Neuville in bis Commercial negotiations with this country ; it cannot escape the attention of government. The French Government cither do not know the value of our commerce, or they do not wish a free intercourse with »is, for fear, wc presume, that our princi ples of liberty may have a pernicious in fluence over the loyal French, 'i hat we are unpopular, and growring more so w ith that Government, there can be no doubt; and so far from expecting favour or af fection, common justice will be denied to ii*. Our institutions are peculiarly obnoxious, and they affect (o despise us. The ultrae have got the upper hand, and the people of France are daily growing more and more discontented with their .situation. How can it be otherwise un der a king, who acts as if be held bis crown by permission of the good people of England.—.V. Y. .Vat .Ido. As the storm of European Despotism is tint to be directed against NAPL ES, sve cannot but look with particular in terest to nil events which can affect the safety or the overthrow ot its newly or ganized government, 'i he article w liicli we to-day publish from the government paper at Naples, is calculated to invigor ate hope. Unanimity among the people of the country is the lirst and greatest requisite of defence, against foreign ar mies. The war about to lie waged by what is profanely not to say blasphemous ly, called the Holy Alliance against Na ples, Spain and Portugal, is the most na ked and avowed war against the Inde pendence of Naples nnd the Rights ot Man, vs Inch has ever been waged. The war of 1703, was less odious and detes table because, alihongh it could not bat be believed that it was made on the same principles as that about to be declared, yet those principle* were not lb-*'* open ly and audaciously avowed. ' In brief, what a’rc the principles upon which LVarisuhout to be declared 1 h int, that neither the I’eoS.e, nor the Sove reign of any country, shall ameliorate or improve the form of their Government, without permission from a combination ol Tyrants. Second, that if the People do so alter the form or spirit or principles ol their Government, without permission that their Altars and their Firesides shall be laid desolate, and they themselves be offered un as victims to the Demon of Despotism :—and Thirdly, that every Sovereign who shall from lear, affection or respect for his People, consult their interests und acknowledge their Kignt*, shall be summoned like a Culprit, to an swer at the bar of the sclf-coiislitutcd arbiters of Europe. Such principles must excite the detes tation of every lover of mankind, and cull dovsn execrations upou their authors and ‘abettors.

The description of the inimal corresponds exactly with the Uni corn of the ancients. The hoofs arc di» vided, and the size that of a horse, from twelve to thirteen hands high : tierce and extremely wild ; seldom if ever caught alive, but frequently shot ; and. that the ffesli is used for food. The person who gave the information to the author of the letter, (Major Latter,) has repeatedly seen these animals, and eaten the flesh of them. They go together in herds, like wild buffaloes. The draw ing accompanying the letter shows snme resemblance to a horse, but lias cloven hoofs, a long curved horn, growing out of the forehead, und a boar-shaped tail. From its herding together, observes the reviewer, ns the Unicom of the Scrip tures is said to do, ns well ns from the rest of the description, it is evident that it cannot be the rhinoceros, which is a solitary animal.—Com. A Jo. ELOQUENCE OF SHERLOCK. Bishop Siietu.ocu, in one of his ser mons, has tho following elegant passage, which is quoted by Ma. Ilt.stii, in In* Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Letters, as a remarkably tine example of tiie fi gure of personification. 'The author is comparing our Saviour with Mahomet. Go,” says lie, “ to your Natural Re ligion—lay before her Mahomet, and hi- disciples, arruyed in armour nn-f blood, riding in triumph over the spoils of lluo- rods who fell by his victorious swonl. Shew her the cities which he sc! in flumes, the countries which he ravaged und destroyed, and the miserable dis tress of all Hie inhabitants of tho earth. When she has viewed him in this scene, carry her into retirement—shew her the Prophet’s chamber ; his concubine* and liis wives—and lelher hear him alledge revelation, and a divine commission to justify liis adultery and lust. When she is tired with this prospect, then shew would give to llie stale iqpermanent fund, which would enable her take the banking institutions within tier jurisdiction into her ow n bauds, and thereby tie enabled to con duct them for the convenience and benefit uf her citizens generally. It i‘> stated in tho Richmond F.nquirer, that (tarty member* of Congress are appli cants to the President for office. This is a sorry statement to go forth to the world, and one which should not bo with out its effect. Of its general accuracy, we have no doubt. The number of ap plicants who had seats in the last Con gress, mav lie a few more or less; but that very many arc thui soliciting offices from the general government, cannot he doubled. Such a condition ol things i* in mifestlv discreditable both to the cln- ructer of congress and the nature of our institutions. It is discreditable, that a min selected to represent ."(>,000 free meu, nnd to tike part ia the legislation for a nation like our*, should abandon his scat, or seek to do so, fir the sake of becoming a Justice, or a Marshal, ora Commissary, or a Collector of revenue, in a newly acquired territory.

Manuel J’lulip Garcia, one of llie two Spaniards enm nitted to our j-iil for the murder of J’ter Isigtsudcllt, lus made a cunfetsiou of the facts and circumstances of that horrid transaction to the Mayor, but as the case is to be brought before the examining Court to-day, wo forbear for the present to detail them. All that wc feel ourselves at liberty to state is, that llie confession goes to acquit llie confessor, while it fixes llie whole upon his comrade, whose rest name lie says is Demur Garcia Castilano. No other motive is suggested lur llie perpetration of the murder than n quarrel of some months’ standing bf tween Lagiiudette and Castilano, respecting n girl in Bal timore, by the name cf Binney.
