We copy to-day some interesting in- formation, apparently of an authentic character, touching the condition of Mexico. There is every appearance at present, of that country achieving its independence—or at least of its 90 far accomplishing it, a9 to acquire the right of electing its Monarch from the Euro pean stock, or from a stock of its own, *„ as to he ruled by its own consent.— We do not see, in what lias occurred in that country, the germ of a Republican government. It appears to be doubtful, t, s,i> the least of it, whether that part of the American continent is prepared for Republican government. Its terri tory is too extensive for a single state ; ami we apprehend the federative system cannot he put in operation among a peo ple whom neither habit nor education have vet prepared for it. The existence sf an independent nation on our borders, however, is a fact of no little moment, pregnant with consequences which we arc Willing that others shall anticipate with ;;reat pleasure—with the sincere hope that their loftiest anticipations may he realized. For our part, we shall re joice iu the Independence of Mexico, as we would do iu the prosperity of a neigh bor, without enquiring whether or not would have the effect to depress our selves m the scale of society. With regard to the Republic of Co t.0.11 u 1 a, we'have, of late, such informa tr n as is condoling to the friends of free- d .111 throughout the world, and particu l.nl, delightful to all genuine Republi can;. 1 he boilings of our fears are fal- »ni • 1, beyond our most sanguine hopes. Th'> People of Colombia have establish ed a form of government, the principal difference between which and that cf the United States, is. that the President b eb'cted for seven years instead of four. .And even this is a difference in theory o 111v—for the practice of our govern- m lt , unless in extreme cases, is cer- t , , i\ settled, that the President may s t ve for eight years, and thereafter be j, , ij„ibie. Not only is the constitution of Colombia such as proves her to be tit for freedom, but her laws, as tar as we have seen them, are the emanations oi iu elligence, and even of political v irtue. \\ „ find them embracing the primary ehic.cls of all good government—the en couragement of learning, ol agriculture, of manufactures, and of commerce. In some of these provisions, we find a libe rality which our government need not di»diin to imitate, borrowing from them a little to repay the great portion of them * V sten. which they have borrowed (torn We will not particularize the sever al arts to which we refer, or others m winch they have nobly followed our e«- amnle. Our readers cannot but have remarked them, as from time to lime an nounced. Let one suffice for spec al notice—we refer to the abolition of the Slave Trade, a stop worthy of the hearts and heads of a Congress of ireetnen with such a chief at their head as Bou var has shewn himself to be. A r tunu'.e soldier, he appears aLo to be a patriot statesman. We are so much gra- titled with the accounts we were disposed to have engaged in nn alliance with these new governments whilst yet in embryo—a measure happi ly averted by the prudence of the Execu tive, who foresaw that such 11 measure would have cast us into the vortex of Eu ropean politics, and wisely steered our course clear of the Charybdis which menaced us. Iu the course which Pre sident Monrof. has pursued in this res pect—nnd not only in this respect, hut others—it is with pleasure and pride we have seen him treading in the steps of Washington, not disdaining to take for his example the man whose worth and wisdom have entailed upon his me mory the reverence of all mankind. Thinking upon this subject, we were induced, when we had gut thus far with it, to recur to the text-book of political truths, to be found in Washington’s Fare well Address to the American People.— We find iu it a few passages so entirely applicable to tlie topics of which we have been speaking, so emphatically pre senting the ideas we wished to have of fered to our readers, that we are per suaded our readers will be obliged to us •or concluding this article iu the language of the father of his country. > “ Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, at e recommended by poli- “ cy, humanity, and interest.

When some time since wc pub- ished some advices received at Havana concerning Mexico, we stated that while Vera Cruz remained under the royal authority, no advices adverse to the roy al cause would be permitted to pass that way , and ull the advices by way of Ha vana would be as had so often been the case in the advices from Venezuela, suppressed or mutilated so far as to per vert the truth. This public document is now received : the port ol Vera Cruz being open, and under the authority ol the independent government. We shall now state an outline ol the despatch to the governor of Vera Cruz, which is an act of authority exercised in the name and in behalf of Ferdinand VIE by his authorized captain general. The dispatch enters circumstantially into a detail of the relations wuich have existed between old and new Spain—the actual situation of Mexico, and all the provinces dependant on its government the afflictions under which it has suffer ed from a false policy and gross misrule, for a length of years ; that the subjec tion of the people, the obstruction ol Agriculture and industry, by a latul poll cy had produced great poverty, and a mass of discontent, which had been coti- entrated by the spirit of the age, and produced sentiments which having their foundation in nature and necessity, per iled all parts of the provinces. That the greatest errors had hitherto directed the policy pursued towards the Medi ans—that they are a people of peculiar rganizatiou and of great susceptibility of character, incidental to the happy na ture of their climate'—and that the evils >f internal war, acting upon their minds, had stimulated them to assert their rights, and however imperfectly they had Tur ned their opinions, they were such as were to be found iu tbe heart of man, whenever his intellects are brought to act in that direction ; and partake ol the awakening spirit that characterises the whole woild at tins time ; that Mexico stood in the same relation to Spam, as a child to his parent, by whom, in infancy, he is nursed up, who luliils his duties and obedience till he becomes capable of acting for himself--wihen without, a- tiating his love or disregarding his first ties, still leads him to act independently by the instincts of nature, which are superior to all human contrivances. 1’hot Mexico beyond disputation had long reached that point ol selt direction, and possesses all the faculties which are necessary to fulfil this destiny ; and that to respect and recognize them is the true policy of Spain, which may forever en dear them to each other. Alter dwelling in this strain with a most eloquent and fervent traukneas, he commands the governor ol Vera Cruz, to cause this despatch to he made pub lic, so that the governor himselt, and all others, may be directed by the spirit thereof. He adds that he has learned, there was a detachment of 400 men, or dered from the Havana, by the captain general of that island, to re-iuforce Vera Cruz. That the landing of those men, iglit give cause ol distrust in his good frith, and he therefore ordered the go- ernor, to prohibit their landing, should they not be already landed ; that if land ed, after affording them every supply necessary for their accommodation, they should he re-embarked, and ordered tor the Havana, or another contingency, to be sent to Tampico, or Campeachy.— Should they not have arrived, that the vessel best adapted for despatch, should be immediately ordered to cruise in the track, by which the troops might be ex pected to arrive, and that positive orders should be given for their immediate re turn to Havana. lie then eaters into very judicious rea sonings, on the folly of expecting to ac comphsh any object by so small a force— that no military man could, for nn instant suppose that such a force, in any for tress, even of the first order, much less in Vera Cruz, could do more than capi tulale on the first assault This sketch is a very imperfect one the despatch itself, is masterly and in and says, the ties which uni ut 1- independent of all foreign authority guala 1 promised you it should hr so ; 1 have already traversed the vast space which separates slavery front liberty. 1 have em ployed all the means which appeared to me best adapted to assure to every American the right to express freely ami securely his opinions ;—those causes which have hither to excited apprehension ami constraint, are removed, and concealment is no longer ne cessary ; where evil or perverse dispositions have prevailed, they learned to become moderate ; und liberal ideas have superced ed those that wi « contracted and unequal. Therefore it is that you now see me iu the capital of this great nation, w hich it is my pride to have entered without shedding one drop of blood ; without having been the cause nr the instrument of making one widow, one child an orphan, or causing one parent to load with execration, the destroy er of bis child ; I have traversed the prim pal provinces of this nation, and every where have found an unanimous pei overcome w ith joy—addressing to the am j of tire three guarantees, the. most chcevin and gladdening congratulations—and pour ing out their ejaculations to Heaven on the independence of their country. These de monstrations have given to my inmost soul delights that are inexpressible : and haw repaid with tenfold interest, the f»tigo"s privations, and nakedness of my lelloiv sol diers of the country, who have on all oc casions displayed cheCTlulness, valor, ami constancy. Already you know how to become free ; it belongs to you now to deliberate on the means best adapted to secure and perpetu ate your happiness. The Junta shall lie in stalled, and the Congress assembled,, and laws prepared, adapted insecure your rights and properly. I must now conjure you to cast away from your minds ungrateful reflections—ob literate from your hearts and language, the odious and frightful word extermination, and henceforth substitute in your thoughts and actions, union and unshaken friendship. It is the duty of every man to contribute to the service of his country, his particular knowl edge and experience towards the formation of a code of laws and government. Abstain from the too common practice of salyre, and the malignant passions. Maintain or der, mid the authority and respect due to your Magistrates, and co-operate with the sovereign Congress in completing the great work which I have begun. Nor let me omit to re-call your regard to that state of things which has but a short time been changed, so that you may see what Providence has done for us, in placing in our hands, and committing to American wisdom arid prudence, the accomplishment of that freedom and happiness of which we are so susceptible. If all my efforts were due. to our country, and that what I may have done, should in your opinion, entitle mu to any reward, I ask only this, that you display your devotion and fidelity to the laws, and let me return to the tende.r embraces of my beloved tami- ly, desiring no more, than that you will oc casionully remember with esteem, Your friend YTURBIDE. Mexico, ilth Sept. IHSR These advices place the affairs of Mexico in a very different light from the Havana representations. The conduct of Q'Donohu appears unusually magnanimous. But vyc shall bo very much surprized indeed, if its sagocious spirit will find a corresponding one in Spain- The terms imperial and empire, are, used in those public treaties—lint, as the whole is to be submitted to a Sovereign Congress, it is with that body, that the final establish ment, and form of the national institutions] will rest. We may gather enough from tin sentiments which are indicated by the tree- dom of the press.

If this extent, howevir, be deni<*d in our right over the soil, '1 is asserted *s indisputable that we are he proprietors \ of the coast from the 4 is degree to the completion of the 53d d i e.* of North Latitude. The Ukase,of the Emperor of Russia, it appears, dcnotnces confis cation of ship and cargo to any foreign vessel approaching within \00 miles of the 51st degree of North Latitude ; thus encroaching two degrees, and an hun dred miles mo re, on what has beeu as sumed, by a committee of the House of Representative* of w hich Mr. Floyd vva* Chairman, to be the unquestioned pro perty of the U. Stales. We are not apprehensive, however,, that any thing serious will grow out of this conflict of jurisdiction between ,u« Emperor of Russia and Mr- Floyd. But it is no very violent presumption to sup-' pose, that this edict of Russia grew out of the report, above referred to, made by Mr. Floyd at tbe last session of Congress. If so, it is a denial of the title of the U. States to any part * of the North West coast Nerth of 51 degrees. It would appear, further, to he a decree put torth for the purpose of controverting the claim advanced in that report--since it cannot be pretended that Russia could sustain any injury worthguardingagaiust, by the visit of half a dozen vessels pef year to the vgst region of sea and coast embraced between Behring’s Straits and tbe 51st degree, of North Latitude—an., extent of coast Gvice as large as that of the whole coast of the United States from the Bay of Fundy to Cape FloriJa, and an extent of sea half as large as lhft Atlantic Ocean. The report of the committee of the House of Representa tives of last session affords a key to this decree, which, we apprehend is to ha found in the following passage of the report ofthe committee of Congress. “ The committee believe, front th« usage of all nations, previous and subse quent to the discovery of America, the title of the United States to a very large portion of the coast ofthe Pacific Ocean to be well founded ; nor have they been able to ascertain that any other govern ment than Spain has made claim to any part of it, from Cape Horn to the sixtieth degree of North latitude.” lt is now beyond doubt, that another- government than Spain lays claim to a part of that territory South ofthe sixtieth degree of North latitude, viz. to the fifty- first degree, being a difference of nice degrees only ! If this decree, therefore, appearing just at this moment, has no other effect, it gives interest to the proceeding in Congress relative to a settlement at the mouth of Columbia river. It will not lie a matter of surprise to us, that it have- the effect to procure the passage, in Con gress, of an act to authorise the estab lishment of a post at the mouth of the Columbia, which, however earnestly proposed by the mover, has, hitherto, hardly been seriously entertained by the House whose attention has been called to it.
