MEXICO.

MEXICO, Atm. 15.—The Mexican Govern-
ment and local notes still continue unsaleable.—
A loan by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.,
through their agents here, it was fully expected
would have been. concluded ; and though Go-
vernment may be endeavouring, by asking public
tendeis, to obtain better terms, it appears pro-
bable that they will not. The loan was to be
1,500,000 dollars, to be ,paid in credit notes
half the amount, and the remaining half in bills
on London, on Baring Brothers and Co., for
500,000 dollars, and 250,000 dollars cash here,
and the reimbursement of the loan to be made
by security in tobacco, and from the proceeds of
it by sale to several of the States of the Republic :
the total repayment might, perhaps, be reco-
vered in a year and a half. Congress is to meet
on the 20th inst. in extraordinary Session, and
the consideration of the state of public credit is
one of the subjects to have particular attention ;
also the settlement of new duties.

The existing Government is not likely to be
disturbed, though in the newspapers the discus-
sions continue warm and active between the par-
ties called Yorkinos and Escoses. At Vera
Cruz public tranquillity was a little affected by
the conduct of General Rincon who, consider-
ing himself unjustly and personally abused in
one of the newspapers published there, it is be-
lieved was the cause of the printing-office being
attacked, and the presses destroyed. The dis-
turbance caused a superior officer to go to Vera
Cruz, General Barragon, the Governor-Gene-
ral of that state, but General Rincon, with the
troops under his command, refused to obey any
orders but from the Supreme Government alone.
He was ordered to proceed from Vera Cruz,
with the troops under his command, to another
place, and he left Vera Cruz accordingly on the
Ist instant. General Rincon is Considered to be
of the Yorkino party, which is also said to be
that of the existing Supreme Government. The
Government of the State of Vera Cruz is con-
sidered to be of the Escoses party. It has been,
and is yet expected, that both parties will unite.
The Generals and others accused of disaffection
are •still in confinement.

The circumstances at Vera Cruz have delayed
the departure of a conducta, or convoy, of specie
to that place, Unt it is now expected that one
will be sent shortly.

British manufactures continue at slow sale, as
usual, during the rainy season, without any re-
duction of consequence in prices : more activity
is expected in a month or two.
Bills on England have been sold : Real del

the Commissioners of all the Companies are still

Company's Mines, we believe, promise particu-
larly well. The,,Bolanos also likely to do welll
in due course of time.

Bills on Vera Cruz at 8 per cent. premium.
We are of opinion that the Government will
provide payment of the dividends on the loans
in England.
AUG. I.—We have the satisfaction to inform
you, that we have at length been able to arrange
with the Minister of Finance, to give the order
for payment of the protested bills we hold. The
order will be given for the sum we paid for the
bills, and will be admitted in one-fourth parts of
any payments we may have to make to the Vera
Cruz Custom-house, either for import or inter-
national duties. In order, therefore, to recover
the whole amount of our bills, we shall have to
pay four times as much in duties. And as we
paid for the bills here, and they will he re-paid in
Vera Cruz, the Custom-house deducts 31- per
cent. premium, whilst we are not allowed at pre-
sent to claim any loss of interest, re-exchange,
and other charges, nor will such claims be
allowed until Congress shall have resolved ill the
matter. These are strange proceedings on the
part of a free and liberal Government, but we see
no help, and must wait the result of the delibe-
rations of Congress.
Extraordinary sittings of this body are to take
place on the Ist of September next, and one of
the chief points for consideration will be the new
Tariff.

AUGUST 15.—A1l representations about pro-
tested bills are of no avail, as you will have seen
by our former communications. We shall get
our order on
_Vera Cruz next week, and must
gradually pay it off in duties. The Government
is so very short of cash, that any other mode of
payment is quite impracticable, and we dare not
press it ; for if any exceptions were made in our
favour, others would require similar payments.
Last week, the Minister wanted to raise a loan,
(tiroalclat

and Mr. offered him the following con-

dend ; and 500,000 dollars in creditos of the old
ones that Mr. bought when here. This
was to be met by Government with 2,000,000
dollars' worth of tobacco, to be sold by the con-
tractor to different states. As usual, Salgado
carried on the negociation very slowly, and mean-
time the news of the disturbance at Vera Cruz
came, the packet arrived,.; and Mr. --, vvh9
was carrying on the negotiation, broke it off.
Other persons were said also to have made pro-
posals, but this is not certain ; we should think
not, because the Government has put a notice in
the papers last Friday, to say that it is willing to
sell tobacco, under certain conditions, for the
consumption of some of the states, and inviting
people
contract to make their
proposals in all this week.
A c 0 thatndu c

is t to

eave this about the end of
the month ; Government is delaying it, we fancy,
to raise the money for the dividends to be sent
by it, and cannot do so unless by sales of tobacco.

A young gentleman residing in this town
(Newcastle) took it into his head, a few days ago, to try
his loco motive powers, and with that view started very
early in the morning to pay a visit to his friend's in West-
morland, who reside within four miles of Appleby. lie
reached his journey's end, a distance of about seventy miles,
at five o'clock in the afternoon to dinner. We suppose if
he bad walked on, he would have supped at Lancaster.

DUMFRIES CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 3.-
The show consisted of 843 head of cattle. The demand
for stirks was brisk in the morning, and prices advanced
2s. 6d. per bead, but they afterwards fell more than they
had risen. This reaction was occasioned by accounts from
Brough.bill fair. The dealers made the most of this, and
heavy drove cattle fell 11. and two-ye-olds 10s. per head.
The whole stock was disposed of by five o'clock.

PRESVN. , STAF, OF :PART IN

LISBON,. SE/07% 29:-LL'iliti parties may be
classed under two great heads—that of England
and free institutions; and that of France and
the old system of absolutism : the former is sup-
ported by most men of independent spirit and
means—while the latter are opposed to any
change which may endanger their possession of
the loaves and fishes. The vessel of the state is
tossed about on the contending billows of both
tides, and, unfortunately, there is not a helms-
man of talents and experience to prevent its suf-
fering severely. To the first party, the name of
Republicans, Revolutionists, Freemasons, and
Constitutionalists is affixed by their opponents ;
while the epithet of Coroundas, Absolutists,
Apostolicals, Miguelites, Queenists, and Pe-
drists is bestowed by them in return on their ad-
versaries. As it may be satisfactory to you to.
know the state of those parties, I will give a
sketch of them.

1. Of Republicans.—There may be two in
the whole nation, but I doubt it. One of them
is doubtless the black coachman of General Sal-
danha, the late Minister. This man, who was
by birth a slave in the Brazils, frOm whence that
General brought him, was arrested the other day
as a Republican, by order of the Intendant of
the Police ; his birth and education necessarily
fitted him for a successor to Franklin, as the
Police Intendant supposes. The other Repub-
lican is the public executioner, since in his view,
and in his hands, all men are entitled to the same
rights and privileges. If these two men be not
Republicans, there is no other, for the ignorance
of their own value, either as men, or as social
beings, must preclude the whole of the nation
from this class. The nonsense of' an' attempt to
form a Republic here, is now admitted by all
men of sense, and the accusatiOn, although it still
keeps a certain number of men in prison, is ridi-
culed by all.

2. The Revolutionists are here as yet a dis-
gtluiejiser dshbaoredyo'f
there are persons of this description belonging to
each of the two grand. parties, who blow the
coals on both sides, in order hat the torch of
discord may point out when the attack can be
made with effect. The number of the Revolu-
tionists is now small, but if the conflagration
comes to any height, there are in this ignorant
and demoralized country ample materials for the
formation of a formidable force of legal assassins
and plunderers, which is the appropriate term for
them.—lt is rather a curious fact, that there are
here men belonging to the clergy, who under
pretence of supporting that body; advocate an
attack on the property and persons of the sup-
porters of the new system. 'Among the chief
of those advocates is- the notorious Padre Jose
Agostinho de Macedoi whose fury now preserves
, no bounds.

S.. The Freeniasons are, in the eyes of the
bigotted and ignorant inhabitants of this nation,
the most fOrtmdable, as well as the most hated,
of all the contending factions. A Portugueie
who knows the country and the people, told me,
that during the last eight months, when the
Constitution appeared to be successful, he had
been continually in search of a lodge, in order
to procure admission into the body. He is an
enthusiast in favour of them; yet he could not
find one—for, as he stated, all the lodges were
closed in 1823, and they have not since been
opened.

4. The Constitutionalists are a mixed and he-
terogeneous body. Their numbers, as lovers of
a Constitution in preference, to the old, system,
comprise every man, woman, and child, who
can spell the word, with the exception of those
whom the clergy blindfold, whom prejudices
confound, and whom their own particular,inte-
rests lead astray. Why do the people,' with
these exceptions, as far as they can be said to
have a free voice, declare more or less for a Con-
stitution ? Simply because a Constitution pro-
mises a system of distributing justice, which
every man loves and admires. As far as I have
had means of observing, I find that the persons
who wish for a pure system of justice are nu-
merous, and they therefore prize it; but will
they fight for it ? Oh, no: The Portuguese
have an innate dislike to meeting bayonets, and
to cannon and musketry charged with ball.—
They would, as an observer communicated to
me, be as tame as mice, if the British army
would load with ball, and fix their bayonets, in
favour of the constitution. Among the' igno-
rant classes—that is, among the Nobles and the
peasantry—there are strong prejudices and hatred
to it ; but they will not speak againit it,
friars do not persuade them that the opposition
to the Constitution arises from their adherence
.to the laws of God.. The friars and some of

tionalist who has laboured,
struggled, and suffer-
ed, is General Saldanha. 'Whether from fear or
from hatred to his
talents, the Government has
frequently invited him to
leave Portugal, and to
fly. to England, like the
other cowards who are
now running away, but he still abides it) the land
which gave him birth, and hopes to see it enjoy
better days. This Roman firmness is worthy of
