TIL—The; wind from the W has brought up the Seagull packet from Mexico, with dates from Vera Cruz to the 2d of August, and Havannah to the 19th, with a freight MIDI] ‘0 about 808,650 dollars. Thom- the republic by this arrival have to some extent been anticipated b those lately received per Pre- sident, via New ork, announcing ofa. revolution having broken out in Mexico, and of that city beintr in possession of the Fedet-alists. The Seagul , however, furnishes us with intelligence of still later dates, convqying the important information of the recapture o the city, by the opportune arrival of Gen. Valencia with a reinforcement of troops, and who. after much fighting and obstinacy on both sides, obli ed the. Fe eralists to evacuate the city on the 27th 0 July, after capitulating on the following eonditions:—l. Their lives, previous rank, employ- ments, and prrzperty guaranteed them—2. The Governor-gene Valencia to employ his influence with the vernment in bringing about a reform of the commotion—3. All ncts committed during the revolution -of the 15th of July to be buried in obli- vion.—4. Passports to be given to such persons included in this capitulation as may desire .to leave the count , even tfunder rosecution for previous political o ences.—5. The Fli‘rlcral tree is to take up their quarters in the place, turd under t to command of one of their ofiicers, whom the government might appoint. From good authority we understand that no excesses were committed during the revolution, and that private property was respected. General

me was again at the head of affairs, ‘but whether any, and what, change would take place, was difiicult to be foreseen. Santa Anon, who, on firstreceipt of the intelligence of the revolution, left Vera Cruz with a. body of troops to support govern- ment, on reaching the capital, and finding how matters had terminated, returned at once with his forces to the castle of Perotc.

Tonoxro, Sept. 23.—We had every mg ready for the Press last evening, when to our \ use an gratification our esteemed brethreti, evs. W. and E. Ryerson, arrived by the British . from England. The Report of their Mission Will be im- mediately published; and the whole of the proceed- ings of the Wesle an Conferences of England and Canada connects with their Misston Will appear in the next and subsequent numbers of the Guardian.

To convey a general idea ofthe result of their Mission, we copy the title- age of a pamphlet pub- lished by them in Englnn and which can be pur— chased at the Wesleyan Methodist Book-Room ; regrettin that We have neither time nor space to_do more. “ Vesleyau Methodist Conference: Its Union with the Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada, in August, 1833, and its Separa- tion from the Canada Conference, in August, 1840: consisting of the Official Proceedings and Corres- iondence of both Bodies and their Representatives.

\‘r'liat we publish next week, if not before, will be a Report of the Proceedin of the Representatives, to the \Vesleyan Church in Canada. To us it ap- pears there is not, strictly speaking, a dissolution of the Union, but a secession on the part of the British Conference.

To the Members of the Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada.

Rev. and Dear Brethren,——-Ilnving been a pointed

by you as your Representatives to the ’esleyan

that Conference having acceded from the Articles of Union by refusing to abide by them, your joint counsel is required to accomplish the. objects which you proposed by our appointment to England.

Our position as a Church remains unchanged; our discipline is unaffected in any particular; not a line or a. letter of our Rules will require any altera- tion on account of the secession of the English Con- ference from its articles of agreement with our Coh- ference. We have only to prosecute our Work in the name ofour Divine Muster. But the peculiar and novel circumstances which have transpired, render the mutual and full consultation of'all the members of the Conference necessary to meet the present exigencies of our Chttrch.

We have, therefore, after the best consideration we have been able to give to the whole subject, and after consulting with several of our Brethren since our return to Canada, deemed it absolutely neces- sary to solicit you to meet in Toronto, on Thursday,‘ the 22nd October, at nine o’clock, A. M., in order that we may lay before you more in detail the seve- ral subjects embraced in otir Mission than it is pos- siblefor us to state in a general report, and that by our joint counsels and deliberations we may adopt such measures as may be deemed expedient to meet the wants of our Missions, and provide for the inte- rests of the general work. The temporary incon- venience to the several circuits, arising from your absence, and the labour required in travelling, ap- pear to be more than overbalanced by the impor- tance of your general meeting at the‘present junc- ture. We hope, therefore, that as many Preachers as can will meet in this City at the (me above specified.

The announcement of the separation of the con- nexton between the Conferences of the British Wes- leyan Methodists in England and in Canada, which Will be found in this day’s Gazette, is a matter of some public importance. .

The Methodists in Canada now consist of nearly a hundred thousand souls. They have sprung up in a few years from very small beginnings, and un- der many disadvantages. It is not many years since the on] Methodist preacher in Lower Canada, Who, 111 per aps an over-heated zeal had published a. pamphlet complaining of alleged oppression in the colony, was incarcerated several months in the Quebec Jail, for a libel ; and in Upper Canada, there were only a few wandering Missionaries. ggfiy haw; lilting numerous substantial Churches; 8.
