For upwards off-ix months he uas followed like a nild heast by his pursuers,' who were ofu-n ?o near him, that he could hear their imprecations against himself, ai d Apadaca too, for having t i,dt nit ed them to so fruitless a search. On one occasion, he escaped a detach-. in?nt, w Inch he fell in w ith unexpectedi, by swimming a river, which they were unable? tti cro;; and on several olheis, he conceah tl himself, when in .1 e immediate vicinity of the royal troops, beneath the thick shrubs and i reepers hh wl'ichthe woods of Veracruz abound. At last a story was madt up, to satir fy the v iceroy, of a body having been found, tvhirh had been recognized as that of Victoria. A minute description was given of his person, which was inserted officially in the Gazette ot jI xico, and the troops w ere recalled to more pressing labouis in the interior. But Victoria's trials did not cease with the pursuit: harassed and worn out by the fatigues which lie had undergone, his clothes torn to pieces, and his bod) lacerated by the thorny underwood of the tropics, he was indeed allowed a little tranquility.) but his snfierings were still almost incredible: during the summer, he managed to subs-ist on the fi ui s of w hie h nature ia so lavish in those climates; but in winter he was attenuated by hunger, and I have heard him repeatedly affit in, that no repast has afforded himso much pleasure since, as lo experienced, after being long deprived of food, in gnawing the bones of horses,! or other animal-, that he happened to find dead in the woods. By degiees he accustomed himself to such abstenance, that he could remain four, and even five days, without tasting any thing but water , without experiencing any serious inrr.tivonionpA but whenever he was de

prived of sustenance for a longer period,mns,erei and Ilurbide, unable to gain

his sufferings were very acute. pur thirty months he never tasted bread, nor saw a human being, nor tho't, at times, ever to see one again. His clothes were reduced to a single wrapper of cot - ton, which he found one day, when driven! by hunger he had approached nearer! than u-.ial to some Indian huts, and this he regarded as an inestimable treaure. The mode in w hich Victoria, cut off, as he was, from all communication with the world, received intelligence of the revolution of 1821, is hardly less extra ordinary than the fact of his having been able to support existence amidst so many h ird?hips, during the intervening period. When in 1818 he was abandoned by all the rest of his men, he was a-ked by two Indians, who lingered with him to the hist, and on whose fidelity he knew that he could rely, if any change should take, where he wished them to look for him? He pointed, in reply, to a mountain at some distance, and told them that, on that mountain perhaps, they might find his bones. His only reason for selecting it, w as its being particularly rugged and inaccessible, and surrounded by forests of a vast extent. The Indians treasured up this hint, and

as soon as the first news oflturbide's declaration reached them, they set out in quest ol Victoria; they separated on arriving at the foot of the mountain, and employed six whole weeks in examining the woods with which it was covered; during this time, they lived principally by the chase; but finding their stock of maize exhausted, and all their efforts unavailing, they were about to give up

the ? attempt, w hen one ot them discover- , in crossing a ravine which Victoria ed occasionally frequented, the priut ot a foot, which he immediately recognized to he that of a European. By European, ! mean of European descend and consequently accustomed to wear shoes, which always give a difference of shape to the foot, very perceptible to the eye of a native. The Indian waited two days upon the spot; but seeing nothing of Victoria, and rinding his supply of provisions quite at an end, he suspended upon a tree near the place, four tortilas, or little maize cakes, which were all he had left, and set out fur his village, in in order to replenish his wallets, hoping that it "Victoria should pass in the mean time, the toriilas would attract his attention, and convince him that some friend was in search of him. His little plan succeeded completely : Victoria? on crossing the ravine two days alterwartis, perceived the maiz- cak s, which the birds had ortunately not devoured He had then been lour whole days withuut eating, and upwards of two years without tasting bread; and he say? himself, that he devoured the tortilas before the cravings of his appetite would allow him to reflect upon the singularity of finding them on this solitary spot, w here he had never before saw any trace of a human being. He was at a loss to determine w hether they had been left there by a friend or foe; but feeling sure that whoever had left them intented to re turn, he concealed himself near the place, in order to observe his motions, and to take his own measures accordingly. within a short time the Indian returned; Victoria instantly recognized him, and abruptly started from his concealment, in order to w elcome his faithful follower; but the man terrified at at seeing a phantom, covered with hair, emaciated, and clothed only with an old cotton wrapper, advancing upon him with a swoid in his hand from amidst tiie bushes, took to flight; and it was only on hearing himeif repeatedly called by his name that he recovered his cempo-ure sufficiently to recognize his old general. He. was affected heond measuie at the sdate in which he found hint, and oondut ted him instantly to his ilfage, w here Victoria w as received with the greatest enthu?iam, Tha leportofhis it-appearance spread like lightning through the provii re, w here it was not credited at fust, so fiimh was every one convinced ot hi? death; but it was soon know n that Gaudeleupe Vic'oria was indeed in t xistt nt e, ah ihe eld h. mm gents rallied mound him. Io au intieuibly short tune he induced the whole provini e,wnb the exception of the fortified towns, to declare for indepen dence, and then set out to join lturbide wno w a at that time preparing forthe seige ot Mexico, lie was received with groat apparent cordiality, but his independent spirit was too little in unison with Iturbide's projects for this good understanding to continue long. Victora had fought for a liberal form of government, and not merely for a change of lilm over, drove !um again into the woodduring I:s short lived reign, from w hence he only returned to give thesignalfora general rising against the too jarviDiticus Lmpcror."

We understand that letters have been received from the Com modore, 8tatingthat he is on the eve cf embarking for the United States, with funds sufficient to liquidate the claims against the splendid frigate which was (built for the Mexican Navy, and which has been for a considerable length of time, laying at Philadelphia, utterly useless. Conjugal Affection. On the 8th inst. fie wises entered complaints against their husbands, at the Police Office in NewYork, for having violently assaulted and beaten them. The husbands were all committed to Bridgewell. On the next morning two of these fair complainants presented themselves at the olllce, and petitioned for the relief of their husbands, expressing the belief that they had been sufficiently punished.
