LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27.

Tut news brought by each succeeding mail only
aggravates the deplorable condition of Mexico; and,
In truth, the republic seems fast approaching the
Mate which, according to M. Pm:natant; is the
Arcady of Nations--that of being without any
government at all. The Federalism has had
its half decade of longevity without consoli-
dating the separate states into one homogeneous
combination, abating the resentments of parties, or
rendering law and obedience superior to insubordi-
nation and an appeal to arms. The tenure of Aatses's
power seems, however, nearly run out ; he has neither
money nor credit, authority. nor force, resolution
nor capacity to arrest either Lis own downfall, or that
of his cause. He lately repressed the liberty of the
press ; but he has not the ability to check the pro-
gress of disorder and military insurrection ; he has
Galled together a Congress which, in the midst of a
revolutionary emergency, has weakened the power
of the government by impeaching one Minister and
compelling another to resign. On the other had, the
Unitarian or Central party, instigated, no doubt, by
their old leader, SANTA ANNA, from his exile in Cubs,
has fairly risen in the provinces against the Federal
Constitution. On the Atlantic, the State of Vera Cruz
has long been in a chronic condition of insurrection
which renders it almost impassable. At the moment
when the Central Government wee about to use such
forces as it could command for its pecification, Mazat-
lan, in the Pacific, rose against its authority, and
drew thither all its disposable military strength. From
Mazatlan, which is in the State of Sonora, insurrec-
tions spread to the adjoining State of Gads:Amer° ;
thence, overleaping Potosi, it broke out in Tamauli-
pas, which adjoins the province of Vera Cruz, on the
opposite cast ; sod it is now extending itself to the
states of Guanazuto and Queretaro' which com-
press in and command Mexico itself. Thus, as our
readers will see by . glancing at the map,
the whole line of Atlantic coast from the Rio Bravo
del Norte to what is known as the route of Tehuan-
tepec, and the Pacific shore, from the head of the
. Gulf of California nearly to the state of Mexioo
itself, are, more or lees, in arms against the present
government and the present constitution of the
republic.
Nor is this a purposeless movement. Its aim is
the restoration of the system and the power of SANTA
ANNA. The revolutionists of Guadalaxero have al-
ready called on that chief to return; Gen.,Uaeoe, who
has now placed himself at their head, and commands a
force in that State superior to any the Government
OM send against him, is a partisan of Same ANNA;
and the insurgents have summoned an extraordinary
Congress, to be composed of two deputies from each
state, to elect a President, ail interim, and to pre-
eeed to the reformation of the present constitution.
With scarcely strength to maintain themselves in
the capital, and without the support and hearty co-
operation of any single state, it is scarcely within
the limits of possibility that the Federal Govern-
ment and federal institutions of Mexico can long
withstand such a combination.
And yet how hopeless appears any change of
government, of constitution, or of authority in
Mexico. Since the federal system was first inaugu-
rated in 1824 it has been overthrown and restored,
abolished and revived, until it is a matter of per-
plexity to know what form of government is pre-
dominant in Mexico. But whether Federalism or
Unitarianism has prevailed; whether BUSTAMENTF,
SANTA ANNA, or AJUSTA have been in power—the
course of Mexico has been uniformly downward.
The republic has lost territory after territory ; pro-1
Irina after province has proclaimed its independence ;
the native aborigines have gone back in the career of
civilisation; the red Indians have ravaged
even the great central plateau on which
stands the city of Mexico; revenue and commerce
have fallen off; debt and expenditure gone on in-
creasing; until now Mexico tam a state of diseolu-
. tion as a nation. Military chiefs may plague it by
insurrection, and the populace, demoralised by the
church and the army, may be used for political pur-
poses; but to the wealth, the intelligence, and the
virtue of Mexico, the eentinuanee of such nationality
as has for the last twenty years afflicted them, is not
desirable. They sigh for order, tranquillity, law,
and industry, and these they cannot hod amongst
the sanguinary quarrels of Federalists and Cen-
tralists.
• The difficulty of any solution of the Mexican
tion is very great. Placed midway between the
occidental and onentalworlds separating the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans—occupying the position of another
Egypt—it is, however, for the interests of man-
kind that the two shores, or at least the narrower
and more passable poeticise, should be under the
• rule and authority of the same government, other-
wise the obstacles to transit will be increased. To
' the people of the great valley at the Mississippi, now

Pacific, a rent* acme Mexico must always

F.a.mt mail from Australia brings a string of ridi-
culous stories of the extravaganases committed by
• mninfla gold diggers, co their return to Melbourne
Le a abort vacation. They marry half-clad emigrant
girls at the shortest notice, clothe them in the richest

canes', and that the ‘..combencensent - 0.0-
drainage works always prepares the Atay for s.
crop of beer ',hops. Oa these statements, Yehkh .
not DitiOr.si solid foundation, although tinged with
the era ggeration of the reporters, there come sugges-
tions that " legislation in favour of the working
classes has gone far enough." "That all beer shops
must bo put down, and agricultural wages kept
down." "That the Government has done ill not to
take possession of the gold fields with an armed force
and let them 'o great companies for the benefit of
the State." We need not discuss what is utterly im-
practicable. While gold is to be had for digging,
hard-handed men will earn the best share and spend
it as they please according to their tastes and
capabilities. While manufacture and commerce
flourish in England wages will continue high; and
as drunkenness is popular with a certain class or
workmen, a large share of improved wages will go
in beer. The time has for sumptuary laws,
or laws to protect capital against labour; but the
time has also come when we must, in sober serious
earnestness, inquire how long we shall permit selfish
apathy and sectarian jealousy to impede the founda-
tion of a national rational system of education, which
is the only protection against the excesses incident
to the excitement of prosperity. It is the legisla-
tors, and makers of legislators, in Great Brits*
who are answerable for the wasteful fol-
lies of the Australian gold diggers. It is
the manufacturers and -landed proprietors et
Warwickshire and Staffordshire who are aommist-
able for the days lost, the money squand the
health exhausted, by the mechanics of Bi
and the miners and iron-workers around Birm*
These masses in England and Australia have bees
from their birth neglected. Utterly uneducated, or, at
the most, with the bare rudiments, " the knife and
fork " of education, it is not wonderful that many of
them should have no tastes beyond sensual enjoy-
ments, no ambition beyond the accumulation of
wealth. Take away art, science, and literature,
take away all the activity of thought, the
occupation of mind, which art permeates
through society, take away those active anxious
pursuits which sharpen the intellect of the
savage, make the means of existence easy, and what
lower kind of savage can that man become whose
only recreations and indulgencies are animal. In
this country the influence of example, the influence
of that education which is acquired in society, with-
out schools or books, has had, and is working with
the happiest effects. Mach has been done, in our
towns especially, a wonderful improvement has
taken place in the character and tastes of the work-
ing classes, in spite of the unmerited neglect they
have endured. But much remains to be
done, and it should be done at once. A
double tide of emigration is now flowing
from the rural districts to the manufacturing towns,
from the towns to our Australian colonies. The
miserable incompleteness of the education of both
sexes in rural districts is something shameful to us as
a nation, and yet these are the recruits on whom we
must depend to fill up the armies of industry needed
by our increasing manufactures. In Australia there
is no highly educated class to give an example, to
diffuse information among those who live by hand
labour. Wealth is the chief distinction; and if we do
not take heed, we shall pour on the shores of those
rising dependencies a succession of uneducated
names, whom prosperity, uncorrected by. education,
will render little less brutal than the aborigines they
Let us take a lesson from the wise fore-
ZliTths founders of New England, who did not
less a ray before establishing that system of educa-
tion tslatsh has protected the United States from
losing swamped by the offspring of the ignorant mil-
lions who Inn landed on her shores from England
and Inked goring the last quarter of a centurl.
Let those who have no regard for the destinies of
our Australian empire weigh well the effects of the
drain which emigration is making on our own
labour market, and ask themselves whether we can
afford, with the prospects of a dearth of men
before us, to permit a large section of our
population to live in crowded dwellings, in
thatched cottages or city courts, daily imbib-
ing during their tenderest years the seeds
of disease and crime. Can we afford to build jails at
the eost of millions, and grudge thousands to schools?
001 we afford to multiply gin palaces, and not seek
to extend the number of halls and gardens for nude-
based amusement? The fault is not more with Go-
vernment than with ourselves. The intolerance et
proselytism combines with the apathy of indifinem

den Weed the merest-rudiments. What a contrast
between the fervid, rabid intolerance which shouts

The approaching marriage continues to be the
only subject of interest, and, apart from unexpected
accidents, politics may be considered adjourned till
after Sunday next.
Yesterday afternoon Mdlle. de Montijo visited
several shops in the Rue Vivienne to make purchases.
She was recognised by the passers by, and of course
well received. A pretty woman about to be the
heroine of a grand fete necessarily commands the
sympathies of Parisians. She may be quite certain
that the opponents of the present government
will not exhibit any hostile feeling to her per-
sonally. On the contrary, while the Bona-
partists are tormented with misgivings, their
adversaries are delighted at a match in
which they see evidence of unsuspected weakness
in the Emperor's character, and a broad line of de-
marcation, isolating him from the royal families of
Europe. A loyal and affectionate people might
lament an event calculated to lower the dignity of
their monarch. But the Empire is suffered, not
loved, in Paris, and a check to its pride inspires far
other feelings. A series of fêtes will commence on
Saturday next, but the details of them are not yet
finally settled. After the celebration of the civil
marriage there will be a soiree at the Tuileries, to
which about a thousand guests have been invited.
M. Mery, whose zeal entitles him to the appellation
of imperial poet laureate—an office not I believe
formally existing—has composed an epithalanium
to be sung to music, also composed for the occasion
by M. Auber. An orchestra of fifty of the most
eminent performers of the capital, and the choruses
of the Conservatory will contribute to the éclat of
this performance. It is rumoured that the theatres
will be opened gratis. M. Auber has composed a
grand mass to be executed on Sunday at Notre
Dame. The great composer went yesterday evening
to the cathedral to center with the architects upon
the arrangement of the orchestra. Five hundred
artists, selected from the Opera, the Opera Comique,
and the Italian Opera, besides the society
of the Conservatory Concerts, will take part
in this mass. The most brilliant anticipations
of success are entertained, and will doubtless not be
disappointed. The imperial equerries are employed
in selecting eight cream-coloured horses to draw the
nuptial equipage. The crown diamonds, which were
deposited in the Treasury, have just been handed
over by the Minister of Finance to IH.Achille Fould,
as Minister of State. A pair of magnificent pen-
dants, valued at 150,000 fr., were the only crown jewels
that disappeared in the revolution of 1848 ; but these
were afterwards restored to M. Ledru Rollin in the
presence of Louis Philippe's jeweller, M. Bapt, who
identified them. M. Bapt was, I believe, asked to
be a witness to the present transfer of the precious
gems, but he declined, and M. Moiance, the lapidary,
attended in his place. Mdlle. do Montijo will wear
the pendants at the wedding. It is yet a great ques-
tion whether her head-dress will be composed of flow-
ers or diamonds. It is contended by many that as
she will be already Empress when she appears at
Notre Dame, it would be proper for her to wear dia-
monds in the cathedral. The virgin orange flowers
at the altar, are, however, suite de rigeur, according
to Parisian custom, and it is considered a privilege
to wear them. I cannot think this privilege will be
waived, and I believe that the flower faction will carry
the day. In furtherance of this view I must mention
a report that the coiffure has been thrown open to
the competition of six of the most distinguished
fleuristes of Paris, and that the prize will be consci-
entiously adjudged according to merit by a commit-
tee of ladies. The Archbishop of Paris went yester-
day to the Elysee to pay a visit to the imperial bride
elect.
The Odeon Theatre is, it is said, to be called the
Theatre de l'lmperatrice immediately after the =T-

to receive a sum of 12,000,000 fr., lent to the Spanish

PARIS, TIMIDLY BYBAINCI.
The decorations of the cathedral of Notre-Dame
for the marriage of the Emperor and Madlle. de
Montijo, are proceeding rapidly under the direction
of MM. Vioilet-Leduo and Leases the architects
charged with the repairs of the church. The high
altar, as already stated, is to be removed to the
entrance of the choir, and behind it will be a gallery
with ogives. A vast canopy in crimson velvet, sur-
mounted by a gigantic eagle bearing an imperial
crown, will be placed above it, and will be made to
extend over the places to be occupied by their
Majesties. From the crown velvet draperies will
extend to the pillars of the choir. The choir will
not be occupied, it having been determined to
place the orchestra, which will be 600 strong, near
the organ. In the branches of the Latin cross
will be woodwork similar to that of the gallery at
the entrance of the choir, and there will also be re-
omen, painted skyblue, in which will be placed on
one side statues of the kings of Francs, on the other
the archbishops of the diocese of Paris. The pillars
of the choir and the nave will be decorated with
green velvet ornamented with golden bees, and with
the initials and armed their Ksjeaties. The coat of
lams of the house of Montijo has 23 quartering., and
is ornamented with a cross with Constantine's motto,
Its hoe vireo times. Flags bearing the arms and ,
colours of the departments of Franca will be sus-
pended in the choir; and the roofs, both of the choir
and the nave, will be decked with banners and
streamers of all colours so as to hide the nudity of
the stone. Estrada. will be erected in the cross to
the right of the altar for the senate and diplo-
matic body, to the left for the legislative body
and the Council of State. Estradea will also be
placed on each side of the nave for the judges, the
staffs of the army, and the principal public function-
aries. The middle of the nave will be left free for
the passage of their Majesties and their households;
aqd they alone will enter by the great door. The
galleries looking on the nave and choir will be occu-
pied, and a portion of them will be specially set apart
for the ladies of the court. The facade of the cathe-
dral will be decorated with banners and escutcheons
bearing the arms of the towns of France, with flags
of all colours, with green draperies strewed with
golden bees, and with wreaths of flowers. In front
of the great door will be a vast portico, in which the
carriage of the Emperor can enter. This portico will
be in the gothic style, and will be elegantly decked
with draperies; and similar porticos will be placed
in front of the other doors. From the arcades of the
porticos will be suspended escutcheons bearing the
initials L. (Louis) and E. (Eugenie). Above the por-
ticos will be equestrian statues of the Emperor
Charlemagne and the Emperor Napoleon!. In what
is called the "Cialetie des Eels," statues, similar to
those destroyed sixty years ago, will be placed in
the niches. The balustrade of the "Galerie de la
Vi4rge" will be decorated with gilt eagles, escutcheons
and crowns united by wreaths of flowers. In front
of the great window will be a group representing the
Virgin and two angels offering incense. The upper
gallery will be decorated with draperies of green and
gold, and the arcades in it with escutcheons, eagles,
and flowers. The towers will be ornamented in the
alba sloe wily, and will be surmounted by sixteen gigan-

from Shanghai to (ham, mess the Sea of Japan and the
'Strait of Matsui, dining the months of July, August,
and September, 1832. The hydrographleal portion is of
great hsportsace, as seamen have hitherto had to sail by
the chart of La Perouse, and by those laid down on the
data furnished by Broughton at the end of the last century.
The Capeicieuse has surveyed trigonoinztrically the eastern
coast of the Cores and of Chinese Tartar, for an extent of
130 leagues. It results, from the information given in this
report, that seamen, who dread at present the stormsea of
Japan, on account of the inhospitality of its inhabitants,
will henceforward find safe anchorage, and every
facility to effect repairs, in the Gulf of Anvil'',
on the coast of Tartary, situated nearly on the
same parallel (42 deg.) as the Strait of Matinenk
from which it is only 130 leagues distant. Althe country, in general but little wooded, does ncPPIX
any great resources, at least a cordial reception may be
reckoned on from the Tartar tribes, who come in ,the film
season to encamp on this coast to feed their herds of oxen
and fish for seals. Whales are to be frequently sees in
these latitudes. The Capricious' tell in with several, both
on the coast of Tartary and on that of the Cores. The
accounts given by the old missionaries agree in declaring
that at the approach of winter, the whales, driven away
by the he of the Polar Sea from Behring's Strait and the
Sea of Okhotsk, proeeed to the southern part of the Japer•
eta Sea. The whalers, not venturing to pursue them
during the bad season into theta inhospitable latitudes, have
been accustomed to pass their winter, doing nothing, the
Sandwich Islands, flu Marianne Islands,i er the Caroline'.
There is reason to imagine that our whalers, after having
exhausted the fishing seas= in Behring's Strait and the Ike
of Okhotsk, would find a great advantage in falling back es
the south, and continuing their fishing in the ses whisk the
Capricieuse passed through. The mouths of Ostebse,
November, and part of December, could be pealiably em-
ployed in that quarter, whilst waiting he die severe
weather to force them to take up their winter quarters. The
bay of Young-Kinq, on the coast ot the Cores, and the Gulf
of Anville on that of Tottery, appear perfectly well situptsii
for such stations, where the whalers, after having placed
their vessels in perfect safety, could continue their fishing fal
these bays with boats. The coasts, although not well sup-
plied, would still afford sufficient resources to afford benefit
to the crews. The Capricieuse entered the Pacific Ocean on
Aug. 22, and set sail for Guam, where she arrived on Sept.
12. On Oct. 18, after having devoted some time to repairs
and to the repose of the crew, she left the port of Apra fur
Manilla, where she arrived on Nov. 6. This long voyage
from Japan to the Philippines, in seas but little known, and
in the midst of hazy weather, which prevailed almost inces-
easily, was marked by no other incident to the vessel than
a violent hurricane, which came on at about 100 leagues to
the east of the Bisbee Islands. The Team', however, suf-
fered no damage, and it may be said that the cruise of the
Capricieuse, for the purpose of favouring the progress of
eammente, navigation, and hydrographical information, has
bus asseregibbsd with perfect success.
The form pia. poet Jasmio, who has frequently,
both by Fres& and English critics, been compared
to Burns, was lately requested by a committee at
Sheffield to send some verses to be read at the 33rd

Scottish bard this day, Jan. 21 Jasmin answered
that his muse would be proud and happy to pay her
tribute of admiration to Robert Burns, but that she
could not do justice to the subject at so short a
notice. He has promised to comply with the request
of the committee before the 34th anniversary.
