alarming tone, calling for some spirits to prevent
MIR J. from fainting, aud on entering behed the

and with every symptom of great suffering. Great
Alarm il is needless to say, was the consequence
and all the npudence and self suiiicency win
which nature has endowed this &C poalticer,' could
preserve him from the contagion. IL manifested
itself in his endeav ors free Nj. j. from the plaster;
and it was only after using mallet and chisel, and
nearly knocking his brains Out and tearing his
features off, that he succeeded. An idea oil the

the simultaneous setting of fractured bone and
dislocated wrist, has since declared, repeatedly,

TO stale, that the countenance of Mr.. j. when I'M

MEXICO.

The Sovereign Congress Of Mexico
during the night previous to closing
their last session, Oath Dec. invested
the President with powers so extensive,
that they are considered equal to abso-
lutte monarchy. Some suppose that
this measure was adopted on account
of the suspicious movements of Gen.
Santana in the province of Yucatan ;
others ascribed it to apprehensions Of
invasion. The future relations with
Great Britain are spoken Of in the
Mexican papers as affording the best
grounds for believing that close init
macy will prove highly beneficial to
both parties.
