OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO

Whatever conjeetures may be made
as 10 the terms upon which the diticuI
ties arising between this country and
the Republic Of Mexico have been for
the present adjusted, there is no reason
to doubt ofthe fact In addition 10 the
in formation TO be found on the subject
in the Presidents Message 10 Congress,
VIZ are enable to lay before our roade rs
the following translation of an article,
evidently semi Official, from a Mexican
paper ofIate date, which fully confirms
the information derived from other
sources ofihe efficiency and value ofthe
services of our present Minister 10 Mex

THE UNITED STATES AND MEX.
lCO.
1t is withfAe greatest satisfaction we
announce TO our readers that all the
difficulties which have been pending be.
tween the Two nations have been def.
nitely arranged, This is certainly due
to the influence Of Mr., Thompson, Min
lister Of the United States, who, from the
moment OF his a%rrival at the capital, has
manifested the most lively sentiments Of
friendship and harmony with Mexico,
and has given the best proof in favor Of
our Government by accediOg on his part
to every 'hing that could conCilliate the
interests of the Two people.
Mr.. Thompson, moreover, and not
now for the first time, being persuaded
Of the merit of St. Almonte, our Minister
in that Republic, recommended him
personally and effectively; hence it has
been that bo is spoken of there in the
most tattering manner with respect to
our relations, and the conduct Of our
Government is much praised for having
nominated General Almonle as Minister,
since the best opinion is formed Of his
capacity TO conclude at all times any diff
hculty that may nrise between the two
countries, and to preserve al all times
the best and closest harmony.
Indeed, we shall never believe that
General AImonte will do any thing in
the slightest degree 10 compromise or
disturb tho good relations Of the two
countries; but rather we are certain that,
willingly setting aside his own opinions
and judgment in what regards the true
interests Of his country, he will main
tain the honor of that, while at the same
time he comedies all that Justice can no.
quire, We again offer our congratule-
lions on this appointment, as we'll as on
that Of Mr.. Thompson, whose present
conduct recommends him anew, and
will give TO him that standing which he
merits, by doing away the unjust opin.
ions which some persons had formed,
and Of which we trust they will row be
convinced, and that they will unite with
US in celebrating him upon the conclusion
of our ancient differences.

TERRIBLE STORM AT BOSTON.


We find 10 the Boston papers o fThurs'
day on account OF q sever and very de-.
structive storm which visited the har-
Dor Of that city on the night Of Wednes
day week. 1t began 10 the evening and
ragged with great fury until morning
The following summary Of the damage
done is condensed from the Post by the
New York Tribune:
At Fort Hill wharf, several small
vessels were more or less damaged. A
small schooner, the Jane Fish,o Of St,
Georges, Me-, was driven from her an
Choir against the wharf, and Nathan
Fuller, an elderly sailor, in attempting
10 leave the vessel, fell between her
sides and the wharf, and was drowned.
The crew OF this vessel state that the
brig Uncle Sam had been blown adrift,
and vas then driving about the harbor;
and that the ship Tyrone had parted her
head fasts, had swung round, and sEs-
lained considerable damage.
The space between India end Central
wharVes was filling up fast with drifting
wrecks, and those vessels at the end of
these wharVes were careening as if
their tall masts would turn them over.
The end Of Long wharf brought up
several craft, which probably was sunk
The space between this wharf and Cen
trail wharf, was also the scene OF great
destruction. The noise of falling masts
and the crashing Of drifting wrecks
arose, al Intervals, above the storm, and
might have been heard even at the cen
Ire Of the city.
At the northern wharves, and, in fact,
at all the wharves, more or less damage
was sustained by a great portion Of The
shipping. Such was the terrific VIC
lence Of the gale, that it was dangerous
for an individual to venture 10 the ends
Of the wharves; and such was the con-
fusion that reigned around, that little il
any thing definite could be obtained oil
the people who had left their vessels.
We were informed that more than a
dozen vessels had been sunk, and that
the crews Of one or two Of them had
persisted, but the names Of the vessels
we could not learn. This leads us to
hope that such reports are exaggerated
Perhaps no gale that has visited this
place for some time has destroyed so
much property in this port in so short a
time. We fear that a few days will IN
fold tales Of shipwreck and death along
our coasts, that will bring pain and Soc
row 10 many a bereaved bosom; for no
vessel close in with land could carry
sail or ride al anchor, in exposed sllua-
lions and weather such q tempest.
We have taken no notice OF the dam
age on the land, but, undoubtedly, it is
considerable; for nothing fragile, expos
ed TO such fury could escape unscaIbed.
