“ Will you, tenors, also swear to dis¬ 
charge the duty of members of the Junta, 
for which you have been chosen?” 
To which they all replied—“ We swear.” 
PROCLAMATION. 
The first Chief of the Imperial Army. 
Mexicans! —You are now in a situation 
to proclaim the country independent, as I 
announced to you in Iguala. Already is 
the immense space which separates slavery 
from liberty passed over, and motion is given 
to the different springs whereby every 
American may speak his private opinion, 
because the fear which restrained some is 
dissipated, the malice which warped the 
judgment of others is moderated, and the 
ideas of all are consolidated. I find 
myself in the capital of this most opulent 
empire, without having left behind streams 
of blood, ravaged plains, disconsolate 
widows, or orphan children, covering with 
execrations the assassin of their fathers. 
On the contrary, the principal provinces 
ot this king’dom nave been examined, and 
all, uniform in their rejoicings, address 
expressive salutations to the Tri-guarantee 
Army, and vows of gratitude to Heaven. 
1 hese demonstrations give to my heart an 
ineffable pleasure, and more than compen¬ 
sate the sufferings and privations of the 
soldiers, who have always been active, 
steady, and courageous. You already 
know what it is to be free, and you are on 
the point of knowing what it is to be happy, 
ike Junta will be installed, the Cortes as¬ 
sembled,and the law,on which your felicity 
depends, will be sanctioned. I exhort you 
to forget the words of alarm, and threats 
of extermination, and to pronounce only 
those of union and intimate friendship. 
Contribute by your knowledge to the grand 
code ; but avoid satire and malignant slan¬ 
der. Obedient to authority, you will com¬ 
plete, in concert with the sovereign Con¬ 
gress, the grand work which you have 
commenced ; and allow me to cast a look 
behind me to observe attentively the pic¬ 
ture which Providence has traced, and 
which American wisdom is about to fill up. 
If my labours (due to the country) be con¬ 
sidered by you worthy of recompence, all 
I ask is, that you respect the laws, that you 
allow me to return to the bosom of my be¬ 
loved family, and that you sometimes re¬ 
collect your friend 
Mexico,Sept. 27. Iturbide. 
It is since tmdersfood that all Mexico 
is in possession of the Independents, 
except the fort of Vera Cruz. And that 
Columbia being quite free, an expedi¬ 
tion is preparing by the President Bo¬ 
livar against Panama, and its isthmus. 
These are glorious revolutions, equal to 
any in our wonderful times. 
RUSSIA AND TURKEY. 
Russia is said to be prepared for war, 
and to have a million of men in arms. 
In the mean time, the Prince of Persia 
has invaded the Asiatic provinces ; and 
the brave Greeks prosecute their cause 
with success in the Morea.
