Mexico remains in a perfectly tranquil
state under the direction OF the Sovereign
Congress, who had come to the resolution
of naming q dictator tor the purpose OF
preventing further internal commot'on 10
the country. The eyes OF the nation are

BALTIMORE, June 5.-A privste letter
from an American gentleman in England.
20 the editor OF the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, confirms a fact, which we
have taken an opportunity to state in adj
vance of this intelligence, that The Ameri-
can character is respected in England; an
attention 10 the parliamentary debates, al.
ferds ample proof Of this assertion. The
party hostile to the administration, are
fond of citing the example Of the United
States, in opposition to The plans OF En-
ylisb policy. This is done with warm pa
nsgyrlcs on the freedom and superior ex-
ceiience OF our republican Institutions.
The ministerial party, 10 answer TO- all
such arguments, draw distinction be,
tween The slate OF this Republic, and the
government of England, maintaining that
what il wise policy for US. would be bad
policy for England 10 adopt Between
both OF these political pugiiists. therefore.
the American character escapes without
injury We believe, from letters that we
hsye received from England, that there is
a sort OF contedsrscy amongst our coun-
trymen at that place, to vindicste the A.
merican character; we do not mean BY
instruments Of death, but By acting with
en- esprit de corps, whenever our country
becomes the subject Of private or of pub.
