From Merico.-Advices from Mexico have
been received to the 2Ist Of June, from which
it appears that General Santa Anna entered that
CITY on the 10Th and was received with every de.
monstration Of respect. He addressed the PEG.

Unprecedenfed Dispatch. There were receiv.
ed at our Post Office yesterday, after eleven o.
clock, A. NJ, .fve thousand and eighty fce ship
letters, the whole Of which were either delivered
or in readiness to be forwarded to their respective
places Of destination at four O'Clock p. NJ. When
it is taken into consideration, that each OF these
letters was handled in counting, rating, stamp.
ing, &c. at least six or seven times; and that all
this labor was performed in addition 10 the ordi.
nary business which is always greater on Mon
day than on any other day. we may form some
idea Of the great amount Of labor which was per.
formed in the short space Of fUe hours. The
whole of this labor was performed without noise
or confusion, and the order and cheerfulness OBJ
servable in the office reflects great credit upon
the clerks and those who have the arrangement
of the affairs Of this responsible institution.
