MEXICO.

:rvErn OF THE plum-DENT ON THE MEETING OF CON-
SEPT. I, 1627.
Citizen Deputies ! Citizen Senators !—The nation, as
well as myself, beholds with satisfaction the union of its
representatives, re-assembled at this period of universal
confidence. _

"I'he adjustment of our commercial system, which has
twice occupied the close attention of Congress, is nearly
brought t* a conclusion. The subject, difficult and intri-
cate in itself, has required time for the collection of facts ;-
for theories are of little use, unless confirmed by expe-
rience. You have the satisfaction of feeling that every
thing has been done which existing circumstances would
admit of; and that it only remains to give the finishing
stroke to a work already so fir in progress.
At this ativanced period, although our iegislators have
,;o profoundly meditated on the necessary regulations to be
imposed on the liberty conceded to all of us, of publishing
our thoughts, new facts, and, I may add, the safety and
security of the nation, impose on you the duty of framing
a law for the correction of abuses—a law which, at the
same time that it shall give due protection to the press in
advocating the rights of the people against the attacks of
arbitrary power, shall prevent it from fomenting despicable
animosities—or from drawing aside the veil, which con-
ceals, for the good of all, the miseries of the human lot.—
Government abstains from accumulating proofs of the ex-
istence of the evil here described, but refers you to the
publications of the day, some of which are so energeti-
cally employed in fanning the flame of discord, and dis-
turbing our so much envied tranquillity. In applying
ourselves, with zeal and discretion, to the consideration of
this most important subject, you will secure for yourselves
a just title to the everlasting gratitude of the nation.
Various treaties with Foreign Powers will he laid before
Congress for its approbation, and others will hereafter be
submitted. It is desirable that our social existence should
he outeagthened and consolidated by a friendly and harmo-
nious intercourse with all the civilized nations of the uni-

verse.
The state of our ecclesiastical encroachments will also
come under your consideration. In this matter you will
act as prudence shall dictate/ always holding sacred the
rights of the nation. The moment is opportune, and the
Executive conceives that the Apostolical See will he dis-
posed to listen to the suggestions of the Mexican Plenipo-
tentiary. In this event the Mexican Church will rise
from her widowhood to acquire new glory, and to shine
with redoubled splendour.
The active militia, and the contingent of troops for the
army, do not less demand your attention than the local
militia, which, under its present defective organization, is
incompetent to fulfil any one purpose of its original inten-
tion. I have before insisted upon the necessity of a law to
gevent desertion, and shall not enlarge upon it here.
The organization of an establishment for conducting the
affairs relating to public credit has not yet been completed.
In order that its existence should not lle purely nominal, it
is essential that all the responsibilities and guarantees of
the nation should he regularly ascertained—its good faith
solemnly pledged—and its desire to consider all its engage-
111'.N1tS sacred and inviolable, rendered manifest and unques-
tionable.

In order that our established resources should equal, and
even exceed, the exigencies of the State, you will have to
consider the system o maritime custom-houses, the regu-
lations respecting commissariats, and the general treasury.
The nation looks forwa rd with anxiety to the result of
the analysis of the memorials of the Minister of Finance.
Congress will grant to these affairs the priority of attention
which their nature and importance demand, and which I
most strenously recommend.
These, and other subjects of weight and interest, have
culled you together ; and the nation, which has reposed its
sivereign power in your hands, calms its apprehensions,
and looks forward with hope and confidence, when it con-
templates its representatives, legitimately assembled here, to
preserve, by your salutary decrees, its glorious independ-
e ice and present form of Government. The Congress of
tie Union and the Executive will never betray the hopes of
the nation. In the hour of peril, or in the hour of pros,
perity, our country—out country alone—shall be the object
of our dearest hopes, and most energetic exertions.

MEXICO, Sri• i1.2.-,--Our last letter to you was under
date of the 15th of August, by the Hope packet. The
Francis Feeding packet arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th
instant, and brought letters from London to the 19th July,
and newspapers to the 20th. The Mexican Government
and Local Notes continue still unsaleable, though their no-
minal value is ne4.- their former quotation. The loan
which was in contemplation has r;ot yet taken place, and
it is reported the Government are likely to require more

advantageous terms. Congress has mei, and the arrange-
ments for new Import Duties, it is said, are nearly con-
cluded. As concerns the deliberations on public credit,
nothing has appeared yet of any importance. It appears
very probable that the dividends on the loans in England
will be attentively remitted.
The existing Government is not likely to be disturbed,
appears that Congress is very much opposed to the
and it
edexpulsion of the old Spaniards; and that though
suelt a law has passed in one of the States, it is not ex-
pected to take place in scarcely any other, from the evident
injustice and impolicy of the measure, and that circum-
stances have not all proved the necessity of it. The differences
and discussions on tnilitaiy ;14147iP2 in which Gen. Rincor
was concerned, are all settled. The Generals and others
accusal of disaffection to the Government some time
since, are still in confinement. A condncteur or convoy of
money, for Vera Cruz, is appointed to depart from this on
the 25th inst. British manutitcturets cQutinue rather of
slow sale; but as the rainy season will be over in a few
weeks, much more activity may be expected; prices,
however, have not materially altered. Bills on England
may be geeted 12 to 43 per dollar, but there are scarcely
any buyers at piesent at tlic..t; rates, and the opportunity
of a convoy for money for Vera Cruse shortly, atTords a
prospect of making a remittance in dollars to mere ad-
vantage,
The Beal del Mollie A!ig.,,s are
producing favourably, and
some bars of silver have arrived here for cuing, It is
fully expected the produce will be regular and valuable.
The Valenciana Aline is also in an improving state. The
Treaty of f2eremerce between this country and Great Bri-
tain is now published here. The intended couducteur for
Vera Cruz has prevented the sale of bills on ;/era Cruz for
some time past. The exchange, before the announcement
of the condueteur, was 9 to 12 pm. for bills.

FORETGN INTELLIGENCE,

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, Nov. 23.)

The disorders which took place on the 19th were con-
tinued yesterday. , About six in the evening groups of dis-
orderly persons began to assemble in the rue Saint Denis,
Saint Martin, and the streets adjacent. From hence they
dispersed in troops of about eighty each into the neigh-
pouring streets of Ferronerie, Saint Honore, &c. making
an alarming uproar, which caused the inhabitants to close
their shops, breaking windows with stones, and crying out
" lights, lights." They were pursued by some detach-
ments of the mounted grenadiers of the guard, and of the
gendarmerie from street to street,:but escaped, in consequence
of the darkness, and the numerous alleys inthe neighbour-
hood. Nothing serious had yet happened in the rue Saint
Denis, but at half-past ten the General commanding the
troops having been informed that the whole force of the se-
ditious was collected in the rue Saint Denis, which they
barricadocd, gave orders that they should be attacked on
both flanks. When summoned by the Civil Officers to
disperse, they were saluted with a shower of stones and
some shots were fired at the troops. The sappers of the
Eighteenth scaled the barricade, and met their assailants
with a. discharge of musquetry. The seditious then re-
tired behind a second and a third palisade, from which
also they were disloged. A great number 'were arrested,
and five were found dead upon the spot.

(From the Gazette di France, of Nov. 24.)
BERLIN, Nov. 26.—His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland, his Highness Duke Charles of Mecklenbnrg,
and Count Nostiz, are gone to New Strelitz.
For some days past we have observed a very active ex-
change of couriers.
According to accounts from St. Petersbargh, the Uni-
versity of Dorpat has been in danger of the same fate that
has befallen within these twenty years the Russian Univer-
sities of Kasan, Moscow, and Abo ; on the 24th, at two
o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out which raged with
great fury, and almost supernatural exertions were required
to subdue the conflagration.
BARCELONA, Nov. 14.—Yesterday morning the Lieu-
tenaut-General commanding the division, received notice
from the Minister of the Interior to bold himself in readi-

ness to march within three days after orders should have
been given by the Viscount de St. Priest, our Ambassador
to the King of Spain. Almost at the same instant a cou-
rier from Valencia brought this order, and shortly after-
wards this news was announced in an Order of the Day,
of which the following is an extract:—

" The King having ordered his Ambassador, Lieutenant-
General Viscount de St. Priest, to propose to his Majesty
the King of Spain, the evacuation of the capital of Cata-
lonia, on his expressing the slightest desire to that effect,
this proposal has been accepted. In consequence the troops
comprising the division of Catalonia will commence their
march to France on the 16th inxtant, and will leave Barce-
lona in eight columns, viz. the 16th, 17th, 18th, 20th,
22d, 24th, 26th, and 28th," (a statement of the force of
each column is added).
This order concludes as follows:
" The Lieutenant-General hopes in the marches which
they are going to make the troops will maintain that strict
discipline which has obtained them the most flattering
commendations, and which they have merited by their ex-
cellent conduct since they have been in Spain.
(Signed) " The Viscount De ST. PRIEST."

PARIS, Nov. 23.—Yesterday evening, the same mea-
sures that we observed the day before yesterday, were taken
by the authorities, the streets in which the riots broke ont
were entirely occupied by troops.
