MEXICO.

By the arrival of the Canada we have date.
from Mexico city to the 24th of August, and
from Vera Cruz to the 221 h. The primary elec.
time have taken place throughout the lb pub-
lic, and are rather favourable to the republican
party. An arrangement Las been made by the
government with a private company for cirry-
mg the mail for a certain number of years through
the whole extent of the Republic from the shorts of
the Atlantic to those of the Pacific. The company
will pay a duty on the weightof the letters and papers
thus transported amountin,r, it is supposed to 120,000
dollars a year. Certain privileges, it is stated, will
bi granted to the line of American steamers which are
to ply between Mobile, New Orleans, and Vera Cruz.
The fast line of omnibuses between Mexico and
other cities, will hereafter be escorted by detachments
of troops, to prevent the attacks of robbers. A locomo.
tice,intended for the railroad between Mexico and Vera
Cruz, has recently been landed at the latter city from
Belgium. Don Jose Bssilio Gum, has been appointed
Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of Rome. The
resignation of Don Luis de la Rosa, Minister to the
United States, has not been accepted by the govern-
ment, but he has obtained leave of absence for six
months. A report of the Committee on Finance has
been adopted by Congress, authorising the Minister
of the Treasury to negotiate a loan of 500,000 dole. on
the remainder of the American Indemnity, and rati-
fying the previous loan of 2,000,000 dole. Serious
fears were entertained of an inundation of the capital,
on account of violent rains in the Valley of Mexico,
sad measures had been taken to avert the calamity.
The Indians still continued their ravages, but the
Commandant-General of the state of Dorango was
making great preparations to put an end to their in-
cursions. The deaths by cholera in the city of Mexico,
from May 17 to August 12, were 7,810 out of 16,506
cases. 'the dive'se had disappeared at Puebla, and
was declining at Vera Cruz, but was on the increase
at Orizaba.
