self nominated Emperor of Mexico. 
His proclamation on the occasion has 
reached Europe, and is specious and 
hypocritical enough; but, as_ these 
Asiatic titles are exotics in America, 
and little accord with the spirit of revo- 
lutions, it can scarcely happen other- 
wise than that his vanity will prove his 
destruction, and lead to a mischievous 
civil war. Already accounts have ar- 
rived that parts of the army, and some 
of the provinces, protest against the 
measure. The Spaniards called Mon- 
tezuma Emperor; but he was no 
more than the Patriarch or President 
of his people. Old Spain still holds 
the Castle of Vera Cruz.

Guyaquil on the Pacific ; so that Co- 
lumbia seems likely to include the
