M The Bueno# Avrean Brig Indepen-
dmtia, Capt, Chnytor, has just arrived
here, from a Cruise ofl" the coast of Spain.
Tlree day* previous to the arrival of the
U. S. Ship Hornet, two biig*. and two fe
luccas, prizes to Cant Chav tor, had been
discharged at the island of Sombrero and
their cargoes biought to this port by the
small craft belonging to the a.me. A

Of the four vessel# ordered to Sombrero,

brigs \m given to a fisherman, and the
other wsuld havobeen sent to this place*
but C»p\. Maugridge, in the Venezuelan
Brig Pitsidcnt, fell in with one of tho le
luccas, the prize master of which not
knowing vthere he was, informed Captain
M. that lie was to rendezvous at that Is
land, whem ho expected to meet other#—
whereupon he was taken in tow by the
brijj, and (ri nearing Sombrero his expec
taUons were realised by observing a brig
at anchor, which he recognised as one of
the Indepriideticia’a prizes. However,
Captain M’s. brig not answering the sig

natural to so magnanimous and generous
a people t Yes certainly. Gratitude, that
sentiment which Heaven has implanted in
all hearts of this delicious region, never
shewed itself in greater force than at the
time when our Country recognized her
self free and independent. From that
moment, I wan struck with admiration of
Ihe thankful feelings oT the inhabitants—
then, were the diadem and obedience ten
dered to tne with free and sincere acclama
tion; and I would have then|accepted them
at once, making to tny country this last
sacrifice, assuredly the most painful, con-
xideriog my natural dispositions and the
object of my wishes since I began to in
stitute comparison* between the disquie
tudes of the world and the sweets ot soli
tude—had not my very duties and servi
ce# pledged to the country furnished roe
with a two fold motive for refusing her li
beral offers. Fixed in the principle that
every thing should be given up to the
country ; resolute and consistent in the
nlan conceived for the recovery of our
National Independence, and faithful to
the treaties concluded at Cordova with a
minister of the Spanish government, it will
not be said that Yturbide availed himself
of the regard of the people, but only to
moderate the demonstrations of their love
and gratitude. Scarcely had public opiuion
begun to manifest itself through the press,
designating him as the person to wield the
sceptre ol the empire, when lie endeavour
ed, without delay, to give it a different di
rection* He declared and proclaimed his
own, in public and private, as a citizen
and as a magistrate ; as one interested in
the glory of the nation, and punctilious
and delicate in respect to what regarded
his person interests. Tha laurels of that
victory which broke the power of the op
pressor# of his country quietly encompas
sed his btows, and assigned the proper
limit# to that laudable ambition, which
fecundates all the virtues. Why then
constrain him to ascend the throne, from
whose elevation he can no lonecr view
with complacency the services Tendered
to his country, without feeling himself
pressed down by the excess of Uis^recont-
ponaeP The nation has so willed it; and
Yturbide yields to her supreme will, now
that he ascertains that it is not an incon
siderate movement of blind gratitude, but
that irreistibie impulse which always di
recta the general wish to the end of pub
lic prosperity.
The nation, indeed, desired if eageriy,
but was diverted from it by the danger
ous collision of opinions. The form of
the government had no consistency ; it
was threatened alike to be made the dea*
potism of those who struggled against her
independence, and to be annihilated by
her most enthusiastic protectors. Our
country was atone time 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. Meanwhile a mortal
paralysis began to prevail, that stopped
the supplies of the national treasury, ener
vated the army, benumbed the govern
ment, impaired the vigo • • of the empire,
and prepared os to be the easy prey ol
foreign invasion, of secret machination, or
of intestine discord. Every thing, in
fine, betrayed certain symptoms of that
same anarchy into which the Mexican na
tion was about to plunge, when the impe
rial army proclaimed her independence at
lguala.
And was the nation not to exert freely
her will in such a crisis? Was not the
hafrvl which was adequate to save her in
her preceding ominous situation, laid un
der an obligation, in consistency, ever af
terwards to protect and save her? Yes,
adored country, the same hand, with the
single aim of your preservation, will sway
the sceptre which you have confided to
it l In the same spirit and measure that
•ught honestly to decline it as a re
ward for past eervices, will he labour to
sustain the weight which is added to i; by
the very honourous ^circumstances which
it is received. That which could not be
conceded, without reproach, to your mere
gratitude,cannot, blamelessly, be denied
