Miscellaneous.

MExIco.-The present condition Of
Mexic" brings forciblv TO recollection the
Latin proverb. 'Quem Deus vuIt Perdere,
prius ,lemenrat." (Whom G"d intends To
destroy. he first deprives of reason.) New
er has uation. since Inc memorable fall
Of Jerusalem, displayed such obvious
marks of insaniry-an insanity rhal $
madly driving them TO their fearful doom,
provoked bv centuries Of vice and moral
turpilude. The state OF things in tho in
terror fully confirms the .vermrnl-civil
dissen,uns and intestine conlmotions PIE
vail extensively. The populations divided
by contending factions; and while a fore
ign invader is laundering AT The gates nf
her great maritime city, and demolishins
her forlresseS, Mexico is torn and shaken
TO The GENRE by the quarrels of her own
citizens. Who, Instead of combining To
repel one common foe, arc arranged in
hostility against each other, under the an
:agonisr banners of Federation and Cen,
tralism. Under such auspices, what other
destiny can await this kingdom, divided
against itself. but disaster aud .uhvers'on.
The events Of the last twenty years have
demonstrated the utter unwOrrhiness aud
incapacity of that people for self-sovern
ment, and suhjugatiou TO some enlighten-
ed civilized government, viz. Texas ar
France, seems to present the only present..
the only practicable means ofreSeneraliou.
That the planting Of French institutions
on the Mexican soil,would tend greatly to
ameio:ate the condition of the natives, no
unprejudiced observer can doubt, and the
henevolence of Providence would shine
conspicuously in compelling the in'ruduc
ton Of civilization among an ignorant, be-
sot,ed race, by the inslrnmenaliy Of one
of The most chivalrous aud polished nations
OF Europe.-N. q. Bulletin.
