Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Secretary of State
for the Home Department, replied at
length. In reference to what had been
said on the subject ofthe foreign relations
Of the country he remarked as follows:'
"The noble lord had adverted in the first
place to questions Of foreign policy, and
in the next to domestic policy. With res
pect to the first of these he was happy in
being able to concur with every thing that
had fallen from the noble lord. The noble
lord had congratulated the House, that
whereas at the last session there were
some fears of partial misunderstanding
with France, those fears were now, hap
PLY for the peace of Europe and of the
world, happily for the interests Of this
country and Of France, completely dis
PEELED, and good understanding existing
between these two great nations. He
agreed also with the noble lord in the re-
greet he had expressed for the loss sustain
ed by the departure Of the able and accom-
plished minister for the United States. Mr..
Everett, much cheering He was hap
py, however, in stating that the United
States would be represented by gentle
man so well known and highly esteemed
as the minister who had just arrived hear,

respect 70 the question now pending be-
tween this country and the United States,
that while the government were prepared
firmly to maintain The rights and interests
of Great Britain, they would also be actt-

tain with the United States those relations
of amity which had hitherto prevailed"

The London Times of the 9th ult. pub
fishes very long letter from its CORES
pondent at Mexico, which (according to
the New York Courier) contains great
deal Of matter of decided interest and i'm
portance. Alter speaking of the great
revolution, and the tranquil state of Mex
lean affairs, the writer says that Santa An
ma was the only man who knew how to
govern the Mexicans, but that his sordid
vices hare reduced him 70 the lowest lev
ell. He next allides 70, the attempted re-
vision of the Mexican Tariff, and say that
the s'mania of forcing manufactures has
bitten the people Of Mexico, as well as
those of Spain and Portugal 1t is inn
possible he contends, that such popula-
ton, in country without roads, fouf-ifihs
of whose soil is still uncultivated, cut up
into districts having very little communi-
cation with each other, should undertake
to manufacture with any hope of success.
Although the most ample protection has
been granted, he says the experiments al
ready made have proven entirely unsuc-
cessful, few having ventured beyond max
ing common calico, which could be inn
ported much cheaper than il. can be made.
Until the soil is fully cultivated, he says
it is impossible that manufactures should
flourish. After referring to the approach
ing election, he speaks Of the annexation
Of Texas. Intelligence Of tire action of
the Convention had not been received
when he wrote: but he says that ssAnnex-
alton will be a fatal bloso to Mexico and
prejudice all European interests in the
new world OF the Ultimate views Of
the United States, or rather Of the actual
state Of things which, in his judgment, will
force the United States Government to en-
