Alost Illustrious and Most Excellent Senhor,
The Committee of Prizes in reply to your Ex,

ePilency's communication of the 29th ult. has the

honour to inform you, that since the Ist June
when it was charged with its arduous la-

I..ffirs, eight persons,: have been constantly ern-
).yefi on the Papers in question,
,which have

t,en sent hack two or three times to the corps
and civil departments which furnished them
to correct the errors made. in them, and also to

exclude from the corps, the civil officers who are
to be placed in a separate list, this being a
most arduous task, as the number of names is
147,645, more or less. The Committee hopeS to
have them finished by the end of this month, as

"We are indebted to .a friend for a copy .of the
, • . Mexlean Federal' Constitution, as it was. ratified
by the Supreme Congress on the 4th ult.—General
Victoria has been elected President of the United
Mexican States, and Gen. Bravo, Vice-President.
The Province of Chiapa, which was claimed by the
United States of Central America, and the Mexi-
can Union severally, and to which the option be-
tween them was left, has incorporated itself with
the latter, while Soconasco has declared its in-
tendon of adhering to the former. The Mexi-
can Government has established a regular escort
every two months, from the Capital to Vera
Cruz and Alvarado, for Specie, when any con-
siderable quantity is collected. On the 6th
of October the Supreme. Executive Power issued
conjointly a long manifesto to the States, which
' is full 'of the noisiest prindiPles and most li-
beral doctrines ; and on the 10th the President
published a separate address from himself of a
similar character. 'llis inaugural speech to the
Congress was delivered on the same day. Ile
refers to the examples of Penn, Washington,
'' Jefferson, and Bolivar ; and exhorts the Mexican
: .
—*nation to endeavour to raise herself to the level
. of our Republic. In these publications allusions
. . are made to the fate of Ituvbide. A report
was made by the Commit tee of General Congress,
recommending that the city of Mexico should be
eltbsen as the seat of the Federal Government.
We do not . discover from our Papers that any
popular or militarftoinmotiens exist in any of
the States. The Authorities of Yucatan had un-
dertaken to suspend the execution of the retieral laws there, and the. circumstance has become
a subject of inquiry in the Supreme Congress.
' The police of .the capital, however, must be in a
' bad condition, since parties of seven or eight
armed robbers on horseback attack persons on the
.
: - Public walks and roads in the neighbourhood of
the town and plunder them. . . .

The Cavaco(' Courant of the 30th Oct. says,
that Caracca Journals of the 29th had been
received, which stated that, by a Decree of the
Colombian Congress, all the property of Spanish
subjects and Spanish Royalists was confiscated,
and the amount placed at the disposal of Go-
vernment.

Mr. Secretary CANNING, we aro sorry to state,
is confined at the Foreign Office, by an attack o

gnu t.

Yesterday morning the delivery of letters
through the General Post-Office was delayed
considerably after the usual hour, in consequence
of the \Vans ick having been accidentally
Upset near Windsor.
The London Northern Rail Road Company
have determined upon one line, which will go
direct from Birmingham to Hull, passing by
Derby and Nottingham, and thus uniting these
r,laces together.
