London, Saturday, October...
Intelligence was received yesterday at Lloyd's of the safe arrival of the Corte; packet from New York (which was reported to have been stranded at Bangor), at Liverpool. This vessel sailed from Ncw York on the 8th ult., and has brought papers and letters to that ,date. Their contents are not important. A New York paper of the Id of September quotes from the Lonieiann Adveniser of the Ilth of August, a journal published at New Orleans, an article which appears to be aw comamentary on a statement in a former number, that the province of Yucatan had rebelled, and declared itself independent of she Central Government of iMexico. The whole afair seems to be, that GeneralSANTA bAhas addressed a very long letter tothe Chief Secre- aaryofState in Mlexico, complaining efeertain abuses in the adminis- tration of the existinig Government, and calling for their reformation. This letter, it is material to observe, is dated as tar back as the 13tih of July, and was written therefore before the execution of IT UYl. .arnE, an event which could not fall to have cleckeri the rebellious -design of SArTANrA, admitting that lhis letter was written under any such impression. It is already known that this officer had been deputed by the Central Government of the Mexican States to quell an insurrection which had broken out in the province of Yucatan. ilis manner of executing that commission, or rather his total neg- lect oftthe instructions confided to himn, had nttracted the attention of the (oveTrnment, who would probably find it necessary, iA conseqcence of such misconduct, to remove hhn from that scommand. In such a case no resource would be left hint but to acquire the protection of a powerful party in Yucatan, through whose support lie might be enabled to hold out in resistance to the will of the supzeme Governntent; and he had so far proceeded in this course as to cause himself to he elected by the Provincial Legislature to the Geverntnent of Y'u- catan. The resistance, however, of so insignificant a province, after the splendid results of General BRAVO'S expedition to Guadalaxara and the death of ITUBRBIDE were known, could hardly be calcu. Iated on. We understand that despatchles from the Dlexicatt Government to tlheir Envoy in this country have been brouglht by the Corles. No intelligence from Peru is found in the papers from Ncw York. According to accounts from Caraccas of the 14th of August, troops, intended to be sent as reinforcements to BOLI VAR, were daily arriv- ing at Laguayra; arnd Commodore DANIELS had departed ,or Puerto Civello, to take the commandl of the ships of war intended to cornvey them to Chagres. Commodore BELUCIIE hiad arrived at Puerto .Cavello with the slhips Bolivar, Botiara, and Ccres, to be employed in the same service; and the 20ti of Angrist had been fixed upon for the sailing of the expedition. A letter front Caraccas to the editors of the Daily Adverliser, dated Aug. 9, states that the situation of foreign merchants there is by no means a pleasant one. They have even been obliged to shut their stores, and report says a petitioin it about to be sent to the CoFngress, to pTeventforeigners from retailing goods altogether. In the plains of Arragua,the scarcity of provisions issaid to be so great, that a famine may almost be said to exist, and the mortality is ,excessive. Business is at a stand there, money is extremely jscarce, and foreign goods so plenty and low, that bhippers cannot expect othetwise than to lose by their adventures to that country at present.
