Norfolk, July 10.—Extract of a letter to the Kditors ol the Beacon, dated St. Bartholomews, June 1, 1822. 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 fifth prize, was a nrhr. that appeared be Itvrc the harbour under the American flag thy prize master of which was Captain Clnytor’s son j she was sent to the Isle of Aveaand there discharged after which she returned and anchored in this port. Of the four vessel# ordered to Sombrero, three yere acuttled and burnt, one of the 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 nal made by the t*rize brig, th - latter was set on fire.

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.
