WADDY THOMPsON's OPINION OF TIE
MEXICANS.

Ia the speech Of Gen. Waddy Tbomp.
son, our lale Minister to Mexico, at din.
ner given to him, in GreenyilIe s. c.,
last week, upon the occasion Of his return
home, he spoke of the Mexicans as po-
lite, kind, warm.hearted people. He had
met with nothing at their hands but polite.
ness and kindness, although the circum.
stances under which he first went to Mex
Ico, had induced him to anticipate differ
ent reception. He should be ungratciu
not 10 bear testimony to their amlablc
qualities, aud that there was no other for
eigu people in whose prosperity and adj
yances, IN the great career Of civil liberty
he felt an equal interest. Mexico was
the first born Of our revolution, and nobly
and gallantly had she struggled for the es.
Enlistment Of institutions of which ours
was the model, Her advances had alrea.
dy been great, and she possessed The ele.
menis Of great people. There was no
country with which he would so much re.
greet 10 see ours involved IN a war every
consideration Of duty, policy and human.
~ forbade it; and he added, that although
the Texas war had caused good deal Of
evaporation against US, there was very
strong disposition 70 cultivate friendly re.
laiions with US; Of this she bud gwen re.

A PERILOUS VOYAGE.

An extra from the office OF the Holli-
daysburg Register, informs US that John
Wise, the 9ronaut, made balloon voy-
age from that place on Saturday week.
He was quite successful in his ascent,
but on coming down he dashed against a
tree, and escaped himself with the loss
Of his balloon, which was found on the
same evening on the premises ola clergy
man in Lexington, n. Y. Wise has
published letter, in which he gives this
account Of his perllous descent and es-
cape: i -> nsG
!. The balloon took northerly direc-
ton, and was ascending rapidly until
reached an altitude of about 1900 feet,
where it encountered violent gale from
the west, swinging it to and fro and
cracking the network at every surge
My heart at once began to sicken at the
idea of falling away from the balloon al
that height, with nothing to protect me
but the car and network; and. the SEN
sations and scene were rendered still
more gloomy by the lowering appearance
of the heavens in every direction, as a
round and beneath the clouds appeared
to be discharging torrents of rain and
wind. | could also see the valleys wes
OF the Allegheny mountain. where the
sun was shedding down its beams of ligh
and life.
At this crisis an expedient flashed
across my mind. The valve rope woulC
at least bear hundred pounds, and thC
top of the balloon being equally strong
| threw the greatest part of the weight 0
my body upon it. This necessarily open
ed the valve to its fall extent, and mus
soon bring the machine to the ground
But the velocity of the wind, (being a
the rate of about so miles per hour. car
ried me 6 miles before | reached terra
firma. threw out my anchor. which
grappled in a fence and capslzed it, anu
after bounding over the field it caught a
gain in a fence and breke the rail-, This
conclusion was so violent. and | finding
myself driven into rugged piece Of tim
Der land, made the attempt to JUMP
overheard into ploughed field; but the
balloon rose with violent surge, ant
| was caught in hitch Of the ropes by
one leg; fortunately srasped the dras
rope in an inverted position, thinking
would hang on to that, if my les shoulc
be released.
Having lost considerable ballast in tht
lconcnssion. the balloon III a few moment!
dashed me into the top of a high tree in ;
piece of woodland: my leg still fast to tn,
