Nor will the interest of the investigator cease with
this reference to the New England States. The decrease
of coloured people in New York during the last decade
has been 2,583, and in Indiana 2,068; the latter may, it
is true, be accounted for by the imposition of civil disa-
bilities which are unknown in the former; but, while the
population of all the other non•slaveholding States has
increased 37fr per cent., that of the black has in the ag-
gregate increased less tha❑ 8 per cent. The exact in-
crease or decrease of both races in each of these States is
thus set forth in the returns, leaving out California,
where the number of coloured people is known to be very
trifling:—

The increase of w hue p ,pulation in the slave States
since the pry vious census of 1840 is 34 per cent., of slaves
28 per cent, and of free blacks in the same States ati•mt
9 p.r cen,., being a greater per tentage of increase than
is found among the same class in the free Stares; though
in many of thew their civic rights are the same as those
of the whites. This, of course, the census takers do not
attempt to account for, nor is it probable any cause could
be found for it, except in the wonderful attachment to
birthplace and early associations which nature has so
strongly, as well as visibly, implanted on the whole race.
This it is which induces the emancipated ntgro to submit
to restraints, more degrading than those to which slaves
are subjected, inasmuch as they are voluntary, and
because a change of residence would place him out of
their power.

The actual existence of this peculiarity has been known
and shown to the world by men of science and philan-
thropy, who have pointed out the mode of taking advan-
tage of it, but appears to form no portion of the study of
l.gislators, who cAinot imagine a possibility of any other
condition for the black than that of slavery as it now
exists in the south, unle,,e found in emancipation, at-
tended by the horrors of St. Domingo, or by the les-
sened production and depreciation of property like that
to which the planter.; of Jamaica have boen reduced.
It has been for some time rumoured that large claims
are likely to be brought forward na,;ainst this country by
the Government of Mexico on account of Indian it‘pre•
dations, the protection against which was guaranteed by
the Treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo. The accounts al-
ready on ti'e are slid to ...mount to a heavy sure, and the
full 'wing document, wnicn is no doubt authentic, indi-
dtcAtes an intention on tip:. part of the auchori,ies to
push I,r;kitrd till claims which there is tiny chance of
substantiating:—

" State Department, Chihuahnam, March 5, 11,51.
" Tha citizen~ of this State ar,- hereby inh.rined (in con-
formity with instructions from the Governtnent at. Mexic,),
that all persons who may h ye claims against the Goverment
of the United States fur de►nages sustained from the incur-
sions of Indiana will forwaru them to this depaement, so
that they may be admitted and their payment demanded.
AMADI) DIC LA VEGA."

No doubt exists that the protection attorded ha., been
very unlike that which wws stipulated tor, while it is
quite possibl, that the (itint Lamy
country might be found insufficient, even it quirkred
on the Mexican frontier.

The Congress of that I public adjourned on the 20th
of May. 1.3,th Chambers annulled the contract made
with senor Joie de Garay regarding 'Tehuantepec, and
a motion was made to impeach the Minister who had
granted the renewal after its privileges bud been twice
forfeited. The Treasury Department appeared to be in
the usual state of confusion. not lessened by the number
of those who had attempted its direction. The present
Minister, senor Yanes, was about to propose as a finan-
cial scheme to double all the taxes, as also to levy an
extraordinary tax for the payment of preferred debts.
Some of the States had protested against these projects
as unconstitutional. Congress had refused to modify
the tariff by removing prohibitory duties.

FOREIGN VISITORS TO TUE EXIIIIIITION.—The
influx of foreign visitors to London is daily on the increase, ,
and bids fair to exceed the anticipations Of the most san-
guine. T:.e scene presented every evening at the terminus
of the South-Eastern Railway, on the arrival ot the Paris
special express train, is truly exciting. The great speed of
this train, the short sea passage, anti the fact of the steamers
and trains being in exact corres ,ondence, thus avoiding all
delay, render this special service extremely popular with our
continental neighbours. About 300 pessengers arrived by
' this train on Sunday evening, a great proportion of them
