A Message of the President of the United Mexican
States, delivered to Congress at the opening of their annual session
or. the Ist of Jauusry last, has been received. It begins by con-
gratulating the assembly on the gigantic strides which the Mexican
nation has made, and Is making, in the career of improvement and
glory. The President then proceeds to describe the relations of the
republic with other states of the old anti new world, and, of course,
first directs his attention towards England, its firmest friend and
most useful ally. He then states that France has manifested an
anxious desire to form commercial relations with Mexico and the
other new states of America. The recognition of Haytian inde-
pendence, it is added, has ineontestibly justified the right of insor.
rection among nations, and raised the principle of public good above
that which dues not distinguish the societies of men from the flocks of
thesheplierd. On the sukiect of the Mexican finances, the Presi-
dent says—" Finance, which in all other countries is the barometer
of their riches and aggrandizement, proposes the most gratifying
augmentation of revenue. The redemption of debt has infused
into our creditors that confidence which constitutes the magic
of our resources. Our national credit in foreign markets ad-
vances In proportion to our religious exactness in observing
the conditions of our Irons with the houses which contract fur

A clear produce. Its utility has been, seen in the state of the army,
in the increase of our marine, in the acquisition of Ulloa. and in
the external and internal security which we enjoy. The half of the
duties of our maritime customs being paid at the custom-house on
the coast, and the other half in Mexico, the strictest orders have

their whole amount, should he deposited in Vera CM?, AiTardtt,
