"A British vessel arrived here yesterday from Alvarado, in 19 days. She has on board all the specie which was received there, by the last convoy from Mexico, about one million of dollars, the whole of which goes to England. That country (Mexico) appears to be in a dreadful distracted state. Bravo, it would appear, has been named Dictator: A rising has taken place at Guadalaxara in favor of Iturbide, and Victoria has marched against them. Santa Ana has gone to take command of the troops at Yucatan. It is said that Alvarado has suffered the same fate at Tampico, viz. nearly destroyed by fire."
