Attached to the commission are three COM

OF the nature of the reception which the two
Commissioners will meet, but it is presumed,
all the advantages secur,d to England by
the late treaty will be accorded their rcsrec-

proceed to Pckin, if insisted " on on their
part, and backed by a respectable display of
military force.

offence caused it to be removed. But this
concession not satisfying the Chinese, on
the 9th they burst into the American garden
and began to destroy property, but the Amer

l have already shownothat this govern

to promote consum ,tion and extinguish con-
traband, may easily raise a revenue of SIS,
O00, 900; a much higher authority-that of
the enlightened and patriotic Don .Aatonio
Gdray-makes the same estimate of what
the maritime custom houses alone ought to
Produce; and | have calculated that the

will be seen by note Sd to table B, that that

my letter of March, res 'ecting the improba-
biIity that Mexico, on the lst. of October.

her de'errel Bonds, as well as her a~ctire.
From the above shewing.-and it is foun-
ded MT upon my mere Meorems, but upon the

IS evident that on or before the period mem
TIMED, Mevico may, with great ease be
brought to a degree of financial prosperity,
enabling her MT only to pay the whole inter
est upon the whole foreign debt, but inter-
est upon the whole internal debt entitled to
interest, and the "juros." The only serious
dih;ulty in the way, that l perceive, is the
Slf,o),OoO according to Don Carlos Lau-
a. that remain to be extinguished by the
Assignment of % per cent upon the revenues
o; the maritime custom houses, before men
toned. But both that, and the payment of
the heavy indemnity awarded to the United
