a very interesting and Instructive production,

with glYlng an abstract ot it, and making a
few Quotations.:
Confirmation IS daily added to the suspi-
tion that Mexico IS determined, as Tar rs il
consistently can, 20 prcrchta reunion u the
Facubayan Congress. IL vas learnt that
Chill had appointed commissioners, and it
was imagined that then arrival might have
some effect III producing 3 change q policy

attempt at .ns.N rcc,ion in EeNas, wa exten.
siye, and the AIcxicans seem 20 hold every
citizen Of the u. States within their grasp
Irespohsi6lc Tor the safety c! the territory
and its inhahitauts.
The higher orders have great dislike TO
our countrymen. ''Mr. Pontsett is munif-
cent. bland and hospitabe beng U
States Representative, he is wantonly and
grossly libclled in the prints patronized by
high functionaries.
With regard to an assertion in the Nation
al lnteligencer that the six American ma
tlons would never consent to the occupation
Of Cuba, by any Of the great maritime pow
ers of Europe, the writer says, that should
England, within any reasonable period, at
tempt descent upon the island, She would
have Mexico as an ally.
| Here follows description of the three
Mexican newspapers, the Sol, the Aguia,
and the Correo-the two first, fagitious
prints and containing li5els upon our minis
ter-the last possessing rather more intcgri-
~. The expense Of each TO subscribers is
from IS TO $50 per annum. II is astonishing
to see how many persons, both male and te
male, apparently make their daily bread by
vending these sheets.
The most prominent candidate far the
Presidency after V,ttoria, is Gen. Guerrero,
who is very popular. The other candidates
are Gomez Pedrasa, Secretary Of War, and
Estera.
4 The writer thus aludcs to the President
and his place of residence:
II called shortly after my arrival with
some other gentlemen to pay my respects to
the President, who resides in the Palace
Though nnassuming, he is stately in his
) manners, and evidently shows that he has
. devoted most of his life to military studies
: and pursuits. The soldiery (by a large bo-
: dy OF whom he is constantly surroundedl.stil,
continue his sole delight. He discovered in
conversation, none ofthe treasures Of wen
stored and cultivated mind With the sal
airy OF S35.oo0 per annum, he never visits.
and scarcely ever invites visiters, but de,
votes his hours of relaxasion to his fayorite
officers and soldiers. The Palace is an i'm
:. mense building, covering one entire square;
! guarded by night and By day, at each angle
;. and every avenue, by armed men. 1t com
