in the Cult of Mexico, by the attack on
our national vessel the Fir brand. We

We give the following fact, which has
just come to our knowledge, from most
respectable authority, as proof of the
earnest disposition of ministers to be eco

well known, and a favorite at Carlton

st. Helena, as Inspector of nliltia, with a
salary of 500 pounds a year. The salary
will probably be thought not too much for
his laborious exertions. when the public
