“ The-..Captain General of this island
died on the 19th ult. and has been buried
with the greatest shew and parade. Here
the greatest tranquility prevails. The
yellow fever has been, and s'ill is very
destructive. The Emperor Itorbide has
re-established the Inquisition of the Friars

philanthropic men ; he will not permit the
European Spaniards to return to their
native country, nor enter this newly es
tablished empire ; and-he endeavours io
prevent the exportation of the great i idles
appertaining to the Spaniards who have
made their fortunes in that country. The
people ot New Spain are divided into
four parties, to wit, Imperialists, Repu
blicans, Serviles and Constitionalists;
which certainly will cause civil discard
