MEXICAN LOAN.

Letters from Mexico have brought an official
representation on the subject of the late loan of
20 millions, ad-dressed by the Finance Depart.
meat of the State to the Secretary of the Con-
gress. In this document, which is dated August
-18, and ordered to be printed by the Cortes,
Don Francisco de Arrillaga, the Minister of Fi-
nance, first refers to the decree of the Congress
of the Ist of May, authorizing the Executive to
open a loan for eight millions ; to effect which
purpose the Government, on the 15th of the.same
Inept!), transmitted the necessary powers. and in-
structions to Francisco Uorja Migoni, resident in
London. He next reminds the Congress of
the proposition made by the house of Staples and
Co., in Mexico, to negociate a loan of five
millions in London on very unfavourable terms,
involving a sacrifice to which the Government,
notwithstanding its urgent want of money, could
not give its Consent. After mentioning the dimi-
nution of the revenue occasioned by the unsetled
state of the country, and the'elleck thereby given
to commerce, the Minister warmly expresses the
obligation felt by the Government for the pecu.
niary assistance which in 0118 difficult situation
was offered by an English merchant, Mr. B. Vigors
Richards, on account of a loan which he was em.
powered by the house of Barclayi Herring, and
Co. of London, to contract with the Mexican
Government. A bargain being struck with this
house, the Minister transmits the Contract to the
Secretaries of the Congress, for the information
and sanction of that body. He not only points
out the superior advantages of this bargain, corn.
pared with the preceding offers made in Mexico,
but proceeds to show that tin. terms, in all pro-
bability.,.areiletter than any that could have been
got by uegociating the loan in London. An
portant advantage in the present instance was the
advance by anticipation of 500,00$ dollars for
the first six months, until the consent and confir-
mation of the London house be obtained. The
following comparative statement is then given

MIL SECRETAky CANNING.

The Right HOD. GEORGE CANNING, OCCOMA
partied by his private Secretary, Lord George Bentinek, passed
through Dorchester for London
,yesterday (Friday last) after.i
noon in his travelling carriage and four. The Right Ron.
Secretary changed-horses at the King's Arms. lie appeared
to be in excellent health. A crowd soon collected round the carriage for the purpose of 'cheering the Right Hon. Gentleman,
who politely acknowledged this deterred mark of respect 14
repeated bows. It was the intention 'of the Right llonourable
Gentleman to sleep last night at St. Giles's; but, Lord Shaftes-
bury being in London, he proceeded to Salisbury. , The car., riage left .Dorchester about a quarter past three.—(' Dona
Chronicle.)
lIONITON, Nov. 13.---Arrived here this day, at three, P.M.
on his way to London, the Right Hon: George Canning, Se-,
cretary of State for Foreign Affairs, accompanied by Lord
George Bentinck. On the arrival of the Right Hon. Gentle.
, man and his friend, they were greeted' with enthusiastic accla-
mations by the officers of this ancient and loyal borough, the
principal Gentlemen, and an immense concourse of the inhabit-
ants. Immediately opposite the Golden Lion Inn, where the
carriage stopped, were placed two hogsheads of cider, and a
quantity of btscuits, to regale the poor. Flags, Lice. were flying
in different directions, with appropriate mottos, viz.—" Canning
for ever ;" "King and Conatititution ;" " Church and King;"
" Old England, its laws and liberties ;" " The Wooden Si Os
of Old England ;" " God save the King ;" ".May the King
live for ever," &c. The bells rang merrily, and continued so
to do to a late hour. As soon as the horses were' taken 'off, fur
the purpose of changing, the inhabitants (as many as room would permit) took their places, and set off pell-mell through
the town, loud and continued cheering ; and, suppoSing the
new road would be preferred, the leaders took the 'carriage some .
distance beyond the turnpike gate on that road before the mis-
take was discovered ; which, on being announced, they tacked
about in a line style, and returned to the intended mute, to the'
no small nmusement and gratilicntion of die' Right Hon. Gen
demon and his friend, who appeared much pleased with the
attention paid them. The horses then supplied the places of
their predecessors, when enthusiastic cheering waorepeated.—
(Mem.)
Saltram House is by degrees thinning of . its numerous ex.'
rated visitors. We understand that Mr.. Canning has left,
and we are delighted to hear is somewhat improved in health.
Since this distinguished Senator has been in our vicinity, we
are not the only persons who have had an opportunity of judging, that even "on a party of pleasure,' -he has quite
enough of the Office to attend to. And for the information of
those who croak and find fault about great men 'having little or
nothing to do, " though well paid for doing a great deal," we
assure diem, as a matter of fact, that during hie whole stay at
Saltram, Mr. Canning was daily closeted with his Secretary for
six or seven hount, so multifarious were the public thicutnents
which required his serious attention. Mr. Canning was gene-
rally engaged in writing during this interval, and was frothnecessity, upon all, or nearly all occasions, the last to Obey the
summons to dinner; indeed his general dePortment 'and appear.. once clearly indicate that the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs neither revels in idleness, nor reposes out is " bed of
roses."---( Exeter Gazette. )

LORD BYRON.—A letter from Cephalonia, re-
ceived on Friday, dated Oct. 10, says—" Lord
