through that city after landing there on May 28
" I am happy that the day has arrived on which
I can tread the soil of this beautiful land, my nest
country—and salute the people who have eiethted
me. God grant that the good fortune which has
conducted me towards you may be used to the pro-
motion of your happiness, and that, with the aid Of
all good Mexicans, we may see a better future arise.
The important department of Vera Cruz and its
capital, which have given so many proofs of their
patriotism, may be assured of my solicitude. This
port being the principal avenue into the interior,
all my efforts will be devoted to the development
and extension of its commerce. Farewell. 1
promise to return to sec you at a more favourable
season, and to remain with you as long as it may be
necessary."

At Orizaba, his Majesty, in reply to the congrata•
lations of the authorities, spoke as follows :--
"In travelling through this beautiful land—nlY
new ccuntry-1 have felt deeply the marks of
attachment which have been shown towards me by
the generous people who have chosen me to role
their destinies. May Providence hear our prayers
and give to the empire the era of peace—so peas'
sary to its prosperity and grandeur. The benefit of
institutions founded on true liberty, a regular and
durable order of things united to the material deve‘
lopment which the means of easy communication
will give you, will at last allow you to make use O
the riches with which Providence, more prodigal
to wards our soil than towards any other land, has
endowed our country. My Government will devote
particular attention to your interests. Yon, gentle-
men, represent these interests, and on this account
I hope you will display, zeal, patriotism, and Bag'
pulous exactness in the execution of the orders I
shall transmit to you."
