It dries not become roe to anticipate theconduct ' f the American government on thisoccasi n, further than to remark. T feel per-fectly tranquil under the guardianships of thelaws of nations as well as those of the UnitedStates ; !uid much do I wish .(hat I had nothingelse to disturb my serenity than the Quixoticmenaces ofifanatic monarch

During the campaign against the British inLouisiana. I had the honor to act as a soldier,and F should he proud of any suture occasionto manifest m zeal in the service of the U.States : and is during my residence in thiscountry, I should be so fortunate as to inspirethis government of the people with a disposi-tion to aid mv fellow citizens of Mexico, intheir.struggles for liberty, I shall not, I hope,on this account be considered criminal eitherby this nation or in the eyes of the universe

Is I am not mistaken we are fast approach-ingnh-

epoch when the legitimate monarchsof Europe will openly avow their hostility tothe American republic Already are theymaturing a futuie crusade against the liber-ties of the human race in the western hemis-phere, and the first step in this My enterprizelias been taken by the pious and magnanimousFerdinand

The progress of liberty ip the new worldis filling the potentates of Europe with dis-may. The vicinage of the United States tothe Mexican empire, excites not only ihefernof Spain but Great Britain Is six million ofMexicans become identified in interest andfeeling witithe citizens of the U. States, wemight then hid defiance to the machinationsof the old world. The vast and prowing po-

pulation of the western parts of the U Stateswould find the internal provinces of Mexicoa vSbt and permanent vent for their surplusindustry

The gold and silver of Mexico in place ofslowing direct to Great Britain and Spain, andfurnishing the sinews of ambitious wars,would find a channel to and thro' the UnitedStates , a npv and powerful .stimulus wouldbe thus given to the industry and enterpriseof this countr, and the period is perhaps notremote when the United States could supplyall that Mexico requires as cheap as can atpresent be done from Europe

To promote these objects may be deemedcriminal by despots, and by those who affectto think the Mexican population are unworthythe blessings of fieedom but by those whohave been berti and bred in the land of libprty,my views and motives I hope will' be appre-ciate- d

and supportedIt'hai been said by some politicians hat

the Mexicans are not yet suffinently advancedin civil zition to be susceptible of rationalfreedom Alas' hiv littl&are these peopleknownor und-rsto- There is not a peopleunder the sun of mire mental aptitude thanthe Mexicans. This homage lias Ken pai 1 ttithem by every libpi-.i- l travellei that lias visitedthem. Mi the pi esenl state cit'th revolutionspeaks mQr.e decisively in their savor : With-out foreign assistance, without sc.vcelv a sin-gle musbef, and in fact with orl1v stones jindclubs they begkn the revwiUion asaiosUr'cruel oppressors They hanoJfefTast Vijarfeucceeded as to make the cwwCpfJVeedoin.felt and circulate fnim thejMexiqaji gQlf to the5

Spain may perhapc bg enabled to keep pos-session of the city of fjlexico and some sewstrong places for a little while linger, becausethe republican forces have n it as yet trains ofartillery or the means of assaulting f.rtifiedplaces, but the omnipotence of Spainer theaffections and On the sears of the Mexicanpeople, is forever lost.

of war essential for the ope-atio- of aAlmost everv musket nil

For the developement ofthese facts and my opinion, I am indebted tothe chevalte.r Onis, for most surely I should nothave intruded myself on public notice, is thatcavalier had not marked me out as a victim toSpamsh vengeance

Among the insciutable operations of theDeity, it appears he c uld not have seltcted amore suitable instrument to promote the sr

These demands have excited in me no won-der, for I recollect that when I was in thecortes, the Spanish governrgen" then intendedto declare wir against the United States, andwas only preven'fd fiom so doing bv an ex-hausted tre'aSurv, and bv suhs, vency theBritish cabinet, who d d not Miink it politic, atthat time, to promote the i uptu'-- e

especially when such pretensions accord wituthe views oi the Brit, sh government

The questions brought forward by Spain re-lating to AVest Florida, did not originate intrfe cabinet of Ferdinand its source springsfrpm a higher and deeper authority ; it maybe traced t the Councils and policy of GreatBritain That Spain has ceded her rights tothe Floridasto Great Britain, no doubt existsin my mind, and that the great .marine port ofHavmma may likewise be required by andceded to i'ngland, is highly probable.

Ergland in possession of the I'loridas andthe port of llavanua, would hold in her handthe keys of the commerce of the Mississippiand the Mexico gulf, and would be ready incase of necessity or policy to take the empireof Mexico into her safe keeping. All this andmore maybe'atlempied in this age of politicalmiracles n

To check the daring progress of the repub.licof the United States, has been openly avow-ed by British statesmen, and is now openly in-culcated by the British writers of the presenttimes. Is the girdle tint was proposed atGhent to encircle tins country, could not beaccomplished that is no reason nhy GreatBritain will hesitate now to planther sceptrein the vicinage of the United States.

AmencansTteon guard. Be assuredthat the coalition off(gititr.alea in l'uiope aredisposed for a crusade aga,inst whatever peo-ple or country that have hoisted the bannersof liberty.

Mexico, free and indspendent, and allied tothe United States by interest and gratitude,as well as by the laws of nature, would' be otmore importance to .the human rtice and thecivilized world than any event that has occur-red since the 4th day of July 1776.
