The intelligence from Mexico assumes additional
Importance by every arrival Ii will be interesting
TO learn the progress OF the negotiations between
the Mexicans, and the new American minister to that
republic. IL is expected that the result will be
satisfactory settlement OF all our claims against
Mexico; the Rio del Norte the boundary line of
Texas and Mexico; and the acquisition of Califor.
MA, including the ports OF San Pedro and Monterey
and the magnificent bay of San Francisco.
There will probably be vast deal OF buster from
the Mexican press before all this is accomplished :
but it is perhaps necessary for the good health of
those philosophers who write tor the papers, to get
rid of good deal of their angry feelings, no one
will care what they may say.

The revolution which broke out here. on the l4th
by Gen Martinez, Col Montero and Don Miguel Bruno,
has been ultimately brought to conclusion the 25h
forces from Chapas, under the command Of Col Don
Manuel Pelaez who after an obstinate resistance OF
three hours carried the little lott n which the garrison

gue Bruno and Capt Don Juan Medrano The former
taken prisoner and the latter killed in the action Both
parties behaved brnvey and there have been many dead
and wounded considering the small number OF the two
ience committed by the troops Both Martinez and
Monteo had already previously ceased to play part
in this very isolated "pronunciamenfO."
The expenses of war made by Martinez and Bruno
during tho three months revolution amount to not less
than Slo3 00o-a per budget Of the Tesorera Departa

MIR. Polk IN CANApA-We perceive that the
Montreal Herald, of the 9th inst. is out in very
amusing manner upon the Presidents Message
The Herald is bitter tory paper, and its expression
ofopinon is only inkllng, in style of language.
&C., of what we may expect IRON the English pa
pers on the receipt of the Message in England
The Herald says
We regret to that the tone of the Message deci
cidy unfriendly, and that there appears nta studied
erminaon to make no compromise whatever Of the
conflicting claims of the two countries.
The successful villany practised upon Mexico in
Great Britain in Oregon. Grants of land promised
all who choose to and settle there and the certainty
States gov eminent distinctly held out Mr. Polk will find
that England is not Mexico.
The style OF impudent bravado adopted towards the
European governments, and the threats against them

bly, excite war during his administration, he will
tainly do it.
We much fear that the control public aIrs in the
United States has fallen into the hands Of bad man.
The control of public affairs in this country has
indeed fallen iAto the hands of bad men-decidedly
too bad for England or Canada.
The ATLANTIC PACKET SERvIcE.-The number
of ships for the packet service seems to be on the
increase they increase rapidly in numbers but not
quite rapidly In beauty. They seem to have
reached perfection.
1t was thought, in 1898, when the steamers began
their career, that the old sailing packet lines would
be forced out OF existence, and their ships turned
into whaers and cargo carriers But in
stead of this, they have become more useful and
profitable more splendid and spacious and it IS
matter of choice, with large majority Of the travel
ling portion of the community, to take passage in
packet ship, in preference to steamer. When such

the West, Capt. Woodhouse; the Yorkshire, the
Henry Clay, the Roscius, &c. NC. are in the lines,
with all their superior comforts and speed, with
their skful and gentlemanly captains, it is no easy
matter introduce steamships to their injury, espe
cialy when the latter permitted to take negro
passengers and have abolition riots on board in the
middle of the Atlantic, as in the case of the Cam
bria. So strongly the packet ships in favor with
the public, that, Of the great number Of passengers
that cross the Atlantic, we believe fully three
fourths go in them. Outward passages are greatly in
favor cfthe "canvass back" packets, while the home
ward passages are only in favor Of the steamers,
and simply as an act of necessity, because the time
at sea- in the latter, is somewhat lessened.
The excellent success of the packet ships in New
York, has induced Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more to enter into the business. There is line
already in existence in Boston, and in Philadel-
pha, and line is in contemplation in Baltimore.
There are eight lines belonging to this city, and we
should not be surprised to see in short time, as
soon as the ocean steamers become more profitable
and certain, line of splendid American steamships
making New York their great depot. There is
room for such line now, and we hope soon to
it in operationfor American ships ought to be the
carriers of the American mails.
Meanwhile, however, to the organization OF this
steam line, let us encourage and support our packet
ships
