LATEST FROM THE PACIFIC.
I'lio fiuo ship Peruvian, Capt. Kki.lv, arrived at
1 us p.irt on Saturday, in the short passage of eighty
•hrpe days from (Jliorillos, the present port of Lima.—
By this arrival we have the intelligence that General
ItoJil siiil holds out in the Castle of Calloa, and it
m is believed would do so for some months to come._
It appears that <>u the 29tl» of duly, the British frigates
Briton and Tartar visited Callao, and their coinipan
■ leis. Sir iV|. Maxwell and Capt. Brown, were permitted
by General Rodil to land and enler the Castle, where
•hey were splendidly entertained at “a breakfast of
three courses.” The table was said to have been crowd
ed with every description ot fresh stock and the choic
est wines. The water used by the garrison was found
to be of excellent quality, and all seemed to enjov good
health, d’lie troops, to the number of one thousand
(as Captain Brown supposed} were well dressed., and
appeared in fine health and saints. General Rodil was
in daily expectation of despatches from Spain, and had
positively refused all offers to treat with the Patriots._
Jlc kept up the hopes of his troops by propagating sto
ries of tlie success of tlie Spanish arms in Upper Pe
ru, &c.
General Bolivar was still in Upper Peru, but was
expected to return to Lima.
The frigate United States. Commodore Hull, and
U. S. schooner Dolphin, Lieut. Percival, were lying at
< Jliorillos; officers and crews all well. There were also
in tint port, a French frigate and brig of war: and the
British frigates Briton and Tartar, the latter to sail for
Kngland in a few days after the Peruvian.—Flour £lj.

Independence of the Brazils or know/edged. — B v the
arrival of the schooner Fox, in 21 day s from Pernam
buco, we have received a copy of the treaty dated on
•*»° 29th of August, agreed to between the King of Por
tugal and the Emperor of the Portuguese dominions :n
the Brazils, which had been concluded under the aus
pices of Sir Charles Stuart, who had been sent from
Lisbon by the King of Portugal, to make some arrnnge
inents between the two countries. The copy of the
Treaty- is in the Portuguese language and contains the
preliminaries of tlie recognition of Brazilian Indepen
dence. I he mast important p.irt of the document is
the article which continues the establishment of the
same commercial relations which have herclofure been
observed between the two countries, mentioning speci
fically that the duties shall be reciprocal and at lifteen
per cent.
There appears howerer in this document a very sin
gular reservation which is contained in the fust and
second articles of the treaty. While the King of Por
tugal establishes the independence of Biazil and allows
his son Don Pedro to adopt the title of Emperor, lie
stipulates that he himself is also to enjoy the same title.
-Another article stipulates that the King of Portugal is
to lake every means of reuniting the Portuguese colo
nics in South America, with the Brazilian empire.
i iie I rcatv is signed by the following parties:_
Charles Stuart. Louis dose de Carvalboe Mello, Baras
de Stanlo Amaro, Francisco Vilello Barbosa.

I FRIIMY MOll.MXC, N!»V. 4. 1325.
in pursuance of our original design, in present our
i rp:,,lprf» a general sketch oi the Republic of Mexico,
we now proceed to
GUANAXUATO.
The only part of this State, with the exception of its
Mines, which deserves especial notice and attention, is
the City of Santa Fedc Guanaxuato. It is completely
encircled by mountains, which effectually screen it from
the view of the approaching traveller. When seen
from the streets, it has the appearance of only a small
village; for as they follow the winding courses of the
ravines between the mountains, one part of the city is
entirely concealed from another. If the spectator,
however, ascends the hills which overhang Guanaxu
ato, he gazes with admiration on its r*»nantic situuliob.
now sunk and buried amidst the deepest recesses of the
mountain defiles—now beautifully rising around the
base of the mountains, jji the form of an amphitheatre;
and the grand grouping of the huge masses of rock,
partly arid and hare—partly covered with shrubs and
evergreens, produces the most picturesque and delight
ful effect. The streets arc very narrow and crooked,
but the houses are well built of hewn stone, neatly
painted and spacious. It was founded in 15-15, hut was
not invested with the rank and privileges of a city till
IT-11. In 1302 it contained within its limits 41,000
inhabitants: its suburbs and the mines in its vicinity
Ikui a population of 29,000, making in the aggregate
70,000 souls. Hut from the census of 1022, it appears
that the number had been reduced to 35,733. The
population vf the town of Valenciano alone, a part of
tliesuburbs, had diminished from 22,000 to 4,000. This
rapid and unparalleled dimunition may he easily ex
plained, we suspect, by a reference to the Hi,lory of
the Revolution. The struggle has teen strongly cha
racterised by the most destructive fury and sanguinary
cruclty. When Hidalgo threw aside the robes of the
priest and assumed the habit of the warrior, in 1010.
his object and that of his pa*ty was to render Mexico
independent of the Peninsula, at that time occupied
by the armies of Napoleon, and even its crown held by
Joseph Bonaparte in virtue of a pretended transfer from
Ferdinand. The insurrection was however speedily
crushed by Callega, the lieutenant of the Vice-Roy.
In a desperate battle fought at Aculco, he defeated
Hidalgo and forced him to retire to Guanaxuato, from
which, after entrusting the defence of the city to A1
lende with his rear-guard, he fell hack on Guadahxara.
AUcnde faithfully discharged the duty confided to him
hut in a bioody and obstinately contested engagement
the military skill of Callega, and the determined bra
very and discipline :.f I.» regular troops, again tri
umplied, and Alleude was completely routed, with the
loss of 10,000 men, one half of whom were deliberately
massacred. Callega entered Guanaxuato as a victor
and exercised all the rights of war with the most terri
ble severity. The city was sacked, and to glut ihG
fiendlike ferocity of his disposition, ar.d to strike terror
into the insurgents, he commanded all the inhabitants’
men, women and children, into the groat square, where
several thousands were butchered in cold blood and in
the most barbarous manner.—The lat. of the city is 21
deg. 9 sec. N. its long. 109 VV.
The city of Guanaxuato is subject to two very seri
ous inconveniences.—The water used by the inhabi
tants is never pure and fresh, being contained in cis
terns belonging to the wealthier citizens, and as i* is situ
ated in deep rav ines or denies among the mountains, the
torrents during the rainy season prostrate the bouses,
and involve in destruction every thing that intercepts
their course.
I Hie Mines in the vicinity of Guanaxuato have al
j 'va.V8 deeply interested the attention of travellers—
i 1 l,;it denominated San Barnahe was opened withir
! "f* }cars after the death of Montesuma. In 1753
the excavation of the great vein, as it is termed, of the
Mchlada and Ragas mines, was commenced: but al
though the ore of these mines is both richer inqualit*
and more abundant in quantity than that of any other
mines in Mexico, they attracted little notice till within
the last sixty or seventy years. From 1756 to 1803, the
gold and silver mines of this state yielded 165,000,000 o
piastres, or 12,720.001 lb. Troy. The annual average
being 556.000 marcs of silver, or 364,911 lb. Troy. Al
the mines in Hungary and Transylvania only produce
about 1 -5th of this amount. Tire vein of the Sierra dc
Santa Rosa extends five leagues, in a direction frorr
j S. L. to N. \V .; and within that distance, from Vnlenci
ana to San Bruno, upwards of 100 shafts are sunk, eacl
of which, one week with another, yields 275 lb. Trov.
In 1803, 5000 men were employed in working (best
mines, and 1896 mills were constantly engaged in gr.n
ding the ore. The Valenciana, for nearly a, (y years,
produced to its proprietors an income of from ^355,200
to 532,800. This part of the vein, which had been al
ways much neglected, was, from the latter part of (he
16th century, to 1760, almost entirely abandoned. Al
this period (1760,) M. Obregon, a native of Spain, whr
had settled at an early age in Mexico, began to work
it- At this time, it was generally believed to be desli
tute of metal; but Obregon was obstinately determined
to open it, and he ultimately succeeded in reaching a
body of ore. which has, during some years, particular!*
that of 1301, yielded the enormous revenue of jCGOO.OOf
or 4-.661.000
The ore throughout Mexico, is said to contain mucl
le*s metal than that of Europe. More than 3 or <j
I ounces of silver are seldom extracted from 66 ounce!
. of ore. The expenses incurred by the proprietor arr
i very heavy: in 1303, the weekly produce of the Valen
ciana was $27,000. hut the worliingof the mines during
. that time cost £!7,0(>0. Mr. Poinsett, in his Notes or
Mexico,-supposes that the scarcity of fuel will render i
impossible to employ steam as the moving power of thcii
machinery.
The inhabitants of Giianaxmto are not, however
exclusively devoted to mining; considerable attention i
^b;3*owed on agriculture. The lands are fertile ant
(
OillivntC'l to the basa o.* the moonlaine; r»n<I llie morals
of the people are said to furnish strong contrast with
those of other mining district*;; they aie steady and in
dust nous, lively and intelligent, and very hind and hos
pitable. Ifni it is asserted by other tra\ filers that thev
are passionately fond of gambling a vice which pecu
liarly characterizes the population contiguous to the
mines.
