individually the value Of one days labor.
Nor should il be forgotten, that grea,
portion OF Paupers Of the country, are
made such, by wasting their time, health,
and substance at these haunis Of idleness
and dissipation; consequently while the
towns are collecting a revenue from this
source, burden of taxation is thereby
imposed upon tie public, In the support of
lpaupers. Byt in examining this mode Of
iesying and Collecting revenue, further
and more important consideration Is pre-
scented. If it be true as is generally es-
iimated and believed by those having the
best means of knowledge upon the subject,
and three fourths Of the crime which be

intoxicating liquors, 1t follows, necessar-
lily, that three fpurths Of those prosecu-
tons are chargeable to the same cause.
As means of raising revenue. therefore,
this system Of licensing shop keepers to
retail sp,rituous liquors is wholly nde-
fensible.
The Grand Jury therefore present, that
these establishments ought to be suppress

Merfeo.--The posture Of affairs in this
Republic is one at the present moment Of
absorbing interest; and great uncertainty
generally prevails as 10 the motives which
really actuate the leaders ofthe contendng
parties We are therefore happy TO have il
in our power to lay before our readers the
following communication, from a pen evil
IDENTITY at home on this subject
MEXICO.
10 the Editor o. the Courier d Enquirer.
Sra,-The remarks made in your edtori-
al columns of the lst instant, relative TO the
late occnrrencesin Mexico; at the same
time that they mark an interest towards the
people fthat country, may tend to produce
in the public mind an erroneous idea of the
true cause and nature of such occurrences.
The fact. however, is very simple, and easy
10 verify General Santana, instead Of
following the example of the immortal
Washington, has ei.en the preference to
those left by Iturbsde and Bolivar and under
much less plausible circumstances.
The name of Santana will, in impartial
history. be marked with the stamp ofingrati-
tude and perhdy,-for, the attempt TO des-
troy the Constitution Of his country. is ia
him, the most criminal unlGsiiiable which
the annals of the world have yet TO record
The Mexican people have been deceived
in the expectations they had formed, in
placing him on the Presidential Chair; bu,
his public life had given the Estates rational
grounds for placing confidence in him; for
though in the year 1892 he already dlscov-
cred an arrogance, and desire to decide
every thing BY the standard of his will, in
contempt ofthe States, yet. though it alarm
ed the few who watched his actions close
w. his services and successful undertakings
in the cause ofliberty, and Independence
particularly his coGnpaign during the last
invasion OF the Spanish arms, & his triumph
over the powerful party of Bustamante,-
gave him popularity with which no one
could compete. at the Presidential election.
But even the most wary of tx enflons
of Santana, could not have suspected, much
less forseen, the extent OF madness and am
bition which he has Just manifested. The
Republic was enjoying the mcst perfect
tranquility; Congress 81 the Vice President
engaged in the greatest harmony, in enact
ing wise and useful reforms: in giving en-
enlargement to commerce, in advancing

ENGLAND.

~ uuC l.
ENGLAND.
MEw MISIsTRY.-One of the most i'm
portant items Of English intelligence,
furnished BY this arrival, is the change in
the British Ministry. The following is
the arrangement, so far as ascertained
with certainty.
The Earl Of Carlisle to be Lord Privy
Seal
Mr.. Ellice, Secretary Of War, to have
a seat in the Cabinet.
Mr. Spring Rice, Colonial Secretary.
with sea, in the Cabinet.
Lori Auckland, First Lord Of the Ad-
miralty, with seat In the Cabinet.
MIR. Francis Barring. (son of SIR Thorn
as Baring,) TO succeed Mr.. Spring Rice,
as Secretary Of the Treasury
MIR. More O'FerraII, an Irish Catholic,
succeeds Mr.. Barring as Junior Lord oil
the Treasury.
We perceive no clear accounts relative
to the places Earl Grey and Lord Brough-
am are to hold under the reorganization,
but infer that they are to retain the places
they have heretofore held. AT all events,
Others have been appointed In their room.
4 large number of the most respectable
members of the House of Commons had
preferred written request to Earl Grey,
requesting that he would not resign, and
expressing the highest confidence in him.
1t was signed by very many Of hose who
were opposed to his administration.
The report that Lord Durham was GO
ing to Paris, as Minister to the French
Court, is contradicted.
Lord Mulgrave, if appointed to the
Post Office, is not to have seat in the
Cabinet.
We learn that The change of admins
tration has taken place in consequence Of
"a difference of opinion respecting the rev.
enue of the Irish Church, and respecting
that question alone. There is not The
slightest reason to expect any change
whatever of the general policy of Earl
Greys's Cabinet.
Those who resigned their places as
Ministers, were Mr.. Stanley Sir James
Graham, the Duke Of Richmond, and
Earl Of Ripon.
The notifications of the treaty between
England. France, Spain. and Portugal,
have been received IN London.
