Every one who has had an opp'ortunity of esti mating the extent, riches, comparative population, and the rapid progress the Kingdom of Mexico, or New Spain, has made, within the last forty years, in all the branches of industry, must be sensible of•the great influence so interesting a country will have on the issue of the important question now agitating in the discoveries of Columbus. At length the people of Europe, after the turbulence of war, and alive to their own interests, begin to turn their attention to. wards the Western Hemisphere ; but whilst respect ing ail the other sections, information abounds among us, of Mexico little is known, either in point of pub lic feeling or situation, so completely have the Spa niards, for the present, prevented the access of fo reigners, by being in possession. of all the coast situ ated on the Atlantic. On these two subjects, novel, and in themselves interesting, some remarks cannot fail to be acceptable, particularly as they relate to a coun try where, ere long, it is expected something import ant will take place. In favour of liberty Mexico has already made great sacrifices, notwithstanding the result has not been so favourable as might have been hoped. The same constancy that still prevails, in.spite of so many reverses, nevertheless, proves her decided inclination fbr independence ; this is the feeling by which all the.classes are animated ; opportunity alone is want ing. A people, actuated by these principles, co vered with mourning, abounding in vietime, and bathed in blood and tears, are ever mindful of their aggressors, and intent on the wrongs. they have 'suf fered. Every object that surrounds them urges them on to vengeance and redress. The vicissi tudes which have marked the efforts for freedom in Mexico, have been the result of political cir cumstiinces, which, in their secluded situation, the people could nether countaaet nor controul, but in them indifference had no part. The Mexicans have doneall it was in their poser to do, and by still main taining themselves in a state of Revolution, they have not only proved what were their views and wishes, but also rendered essential service to the common cause. The opposite interests of a Society divided into rival classes, by the nature and want of proportion in their riches, for the moment presented great obstacles to the combination requisite for a successful Revolution. A general crisis was necessary, which by the force of ' the shock produced, might rouse and unite. The . , horrid result of those first efforts, which began at a distance from the capital, have produced this shock. The proud conquerors, in the transports of their fury, unable to distinguish between the indifferent, or those who thought it best to temporize, in consequence of imperious circumstances, confounded all parties, and by indiscriminately attacking all classes, have reunited the minds of the people, and created a common Cause, which, on the first favourable opportunity, will be brought into action. Hence has Mexico gained much. The Nobles, Clergy, People, indigenes, the descen dants of Europeans, in short, the rich and poor, are now uniform in their sentiments, and the successes of their brethren around them have inspired fresh hopes. -The colossus of power which the oppressors boasted they had raised up ins Mexico, was founded on ruins, and now rests on the remnants of the legions of free dom alone. It is, therefore, insecure from the moment when public feeling again displays itself, and tho prospect of success is unfolded. Hence, therefore, is the situation of Mexico ex tremely interesting, at a moment when the work of freedom is so far advanced in the •other sections. Mexico is destined to hold great influence over the politicarevents of the two Continents. Her physical situation presents incalculable advantages. Consi dered in respect of facility in communications and relations with the rest of the civilized world, on the one side bathed by the Pacific, and on the other by' the Atlantic, and gifted with productions of the most varied and precious kind, Mexico is destined to be come the emporium of commerce. Placed in the centre of the New World, in the midst of other con federated States, with a territory larger than that of the United States, arid nearly an equal population, the empire of Montezuma appears destined to main tain the equilibrium,, and counterbalance the preten sions which may hereafter arise in the North and South. An Independent Government resident in the capital will be able to transmit its wishes in four weeks to North or South America., in five to Europe, and in six to Asia. The extent of Mexico . , independent of Guatemala, taken from the 15. 38. degree of latitude, that is, ffom Guatemala to the port of Sol Francisco, in New Ca lifornia, is equal to 600 leagues, on a width from the Mo. Coloraolo .de .Texa,s to le coast of Sonora, from • • . lE.to W. 365 leagues, which, added to Gageeixila, . , constitutes an extent equal to one half of Spawth I America. One half only of this immense country is ieituated under the torrid zone, the greatest part of which has a temperate climate, and the other enjoy s health and great fertility. The productions of every other zone are here to be found, and require only the labours of the cultivator. At the commence ment of the present century, Mexico, independent of Guatemala, contained six millions 'of inhabi tants, divided into three races. In 1808, the po pulation was estimated at seven millions and a half, so that now it may be supposed to approach nine, though, perhaps, half a million has been destroyed by the ravages of the Revolution. No country en earth is more favourable to the propagation of the human race. The Spaniards, who shudder when they reflect on the impossibility of any longer holdi::g a country , nearly equal to their own in population and riches, surpassing theirs in extent, and placed at an immense distance front their scat of power, have rested their dominion on moral bonds, which time and cilcura stanees have at length broken. The agricultural pro ducts of Mexico ,exteled 35 millions of dollars ; tithes. three millions ; the produce of her mines, 2.0 ; and yet all this, when industry was only half displayed: flow soon would all this be doubled? The annual movement of trade long ago ssas rated at GO mil lions of dollars, and the circulating medium at 67. The tithes, in nine Bishoprics, contained in Mexico, annually amount to 2,700,000 dollars, -without cal culating 24. per cent. on cochineal, sugar, &c. Mexi-. can agriculture has made the most rapid progress, but to what length might it not be carried ? That section.was se interesting to the commerce of - Europe, that in 1802; after the peace of Amiens, 48 millions of dollars, in precious metals, were exported there from, as were nine of agricultural productions. ' The . imports that year amounted to 21. millions, yet not one third of the people ever wore European gcods. A country so far advanced in all branches of in, dustry, must naturally have a corresponding revenue. That of Mexico is equal to the revenues of many , minor States in Europe. In Mexico the revenue has seldom been less than 25,000,000 of dollars, and of late it has enabled the Spaniards to keep up an army of 25,000 men, besides bearing other burdens. , But to what amount might it not be carried ? Even the reited States do not poso_ss greater fir u tncial means. The mines alone yield a revenue of 7,000,000, but apply the steam-engine, and the amount would be doubled in one year. The annual consumption of tobacco is equal to 9,000,000 of dollars. The clergy of Mexico are nut numerous, hut their incomes are extremely disproportioned. The Arch bishop and three suffragans have 130,000 dollars per annum, but some curates have only LOO! The fixed property of the clergy does not exceed 5,000,000; their revenue therefore is &lived from 45,000,000 of charities and tithes. Their church plate is, indeed, immense: tlitt of the churches of the capital of Mexico, La Pueble, Valladolid,..and Guadalaxara, amounts to 15,000,000. The ministers of worship do not exceed 10,003, whereas the ordes'of the Fran ciscan Friars alone, in Spain,. contains 18,000. The Mexican Nobility consists of 50 titles, and 100 entails, many of them extremely rich. To them the greatest part of the lands belong. Among the miners and merchants, many have a capital of 5,000,000 of dol lars, and numbers 1,000,000. In the midst of all these riches the people of Mexico are the most miserable in the world, because all is monopoly and disproportion, and because there is no Government eapable of wielding the vast machine. —But if this want of propoi tion in fortunes, in such a country as Europe,' would present great obstacle, to the success of independence, in Mexico it is the ree, verse, as long as the object and form of Government were better than the one now established, and conso nant to the wishes of all. No people can be happy unless constitutionally governed, and the centre of power is within themselves. To have to seek redress at the distance of 5,000 miles is an absurdity. Of this the people of Mexico are sensible: this they have.. been taught by long and sad experience. At the end of the last century, they lent their King 17,000,000 of dollars, and during the late war between Spain and France they contributed 50;000,000 more; after all, has their situation been bcetered? No; they are now governed as they were 300 years ago. The mind re volts at the idea of what is passieg in Mexico, a rich and beautiful country, containing twelve magnificent cities, in many respects equal to most in Europe, ac cording to the confession of modern travellers, and a race of people as fine as any on earth. Corruption there has made no ravages. Who, when he remem bers the history of this unfortunate country—when he reads the acts of Cortes and the sufferings of Mon tezuma and his people, would not rejoice to see Mexico happy, governed by wise and constitutional laws-=-independent, in short, and placed in a situa-. tion to enjoy and improve those capabilities with which a beneficent PROVIDENCE has gifted this chosen portion of the globe, not that they might be neglected l and rendered of no avail ? Is rot this a theme ad dressed to the heart. of every man? —is it not a. sub,. ject worthy of the consideration cf every Patriot, of every Statesman, in times like the present? We complain of distress, we hear the clamours and see the distress of our Manufacturess, lent in the pre sent state of all South America, we do not remember that the gteatest portion of consutnption is cut off or lies dormant, because the means of payment are desolated or exhausted, and that this has now been the case for nine years. The loss to Europe, in.thie time, has been immense. The working of the Ones and the labours of agriculture have been suspended ; the effects are now felt sshere the usual supplies have been withheld. At the close of a long and expensive* war, a benign PROVIDENCE seemed to open to tio. rope the resources of South America as a remedy, as a panacea—hitherto they.have been, as it . wew disregarded.
