Government, you will please insert in

ish, the annexed address, received FROM
Mexico at this Consulate to day.
Your most obedient servant,
WILLIAM TAYLOR.o
s7e the Citizens Of the United States Of .4,aeri.
ca. residing ns the Rebubhc Of .Herico.
The public papers announce the death
of Mr. Adams and MIR. Jefferson. They
died on the same day--the seth anniyer-
ssry of American liberty.
The declaration of our independence,
which was signed on the attn of July,
i7z6, was drswa up by Mr.. Jefferson,
and both these great and good men
signed that instrument, and pledged their
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
homer to maintaia the rights Of their
couatry.
It is unnecessary to remind you here
how nobiy they redeemed that pledge
Their talents, their virtues, and their
services, during the whole course of
their long and useful lives, are engraved
in the hearts of their q atetul country
men.
You are respectfully invited 70 join
this legation in wearing Grape on the
left arm for thirty days, in testimony of
our respect and generation for their
memory.

We observe recruiting orders from
Commodore Porter, with the device
God and Liberty.
On the goth August, the election of
Representatives of the National Con-
sress, took place in Mexico. The a.
guiia states that the liberal and federal
party triumphed completely in the Me-
tropolis, and was believed to have done
so throughout the Mexican Union. AT
an early hour in the morning, says that
paper, tie whole population of the cap
ital was in motion, proceeding to the |
polls. 1t does not appear that any dis
orders occurred.
The climate and conveniences of Ta-
cu5aye, where the ci-devant Congress
of Panama will meet are much extolled
in the Mexican papers.
Letters received from Florida, state
that duel was recently fought within
that territory, between young eiurat and
Col, Macomb, of Talahasse, ia which
the former was wounded but not sew ere
}y.
Vegetables in tie Western States. -Mr. !
Flint in describing the productions of
Missouri, Illinois, sc. says the apples are
larger s. farer than atshe North, but less !
favored and more insipid; the cider re-
quires boiling to gain body enough to
keep without passing Immediately into
vinegar. All the roots and vegetables
in those rich soils are much more taste
less than those of the North The on
ion is more mild, the blood beet less !
deeply colored, and this holds good in
the whole vegetable creation. The l.
IRISH potatoe is not raised with the same !
ease, OF abundance, or goodness as at
the North; bushel of Indian corn is
raised much easier than a bushel
of potat oes, Cabbages and pears are
inferior in quality and abundance. 1t
is generally conceded that beef is inferi-
or. Wheat and corn are equally good
perhaps better.
The "Bullotn des Sciences" says the
vegetables and fruits of Hindostau are
for the most part insipid. and have none
of the nutritious qualities of the same
kinds cultivated in Europe. The flow
ers are without perfume, and the meats
are poor, all animals being debilitated
except the elephant and the tiger
Fruits which grow in perfection in cold
regions commonly degenerate in warmer
climates and rich soils.

"W HEwEs hath been at the bankers,
and hath got $500 out of BAKEwELL's
hands of his own money; but they are
so called upon that they will all be broke,
hundreds coming to them for money:
and they answer him, it is payable at
twenty days, when the days are out, we
will pay you and those that are not SO,
they make tell over their money, and
make their bags false on purpose to
give cause to re-tell it, and so spend
time"
