INTEREsTlNG FROM MEXICO.

Just we are going TO press, we learn that the
government has received some interesting informa-
ton from the capital Of Mexico TO the Odd August and
from Vera Cruz TO the 30th, inclusive. Il is said
from the capital that the new cabinet is considered
as opposed to the war and even if it were other
wise disposed, il has not the means to carry on
war; that il is with the greatest difficulty it can raise
the means to defray its necessary daily expenses;
and that the war excitement is going down daily
among all parties.
The accounts from Vera Cruz Of the 29lh state
that there has been retrograde movement in regard
to the invasion Of Texas--General Paroles abso-
uey refusing to march with his forces seven thou
sand roops) towards Texas; that he has himself re-
paired to Mexico and others have followed his ex-
ample. The opinion was pretty well established at
Vera Cruz that the Mexicans will never attempt to
cross the Rio Bravo; that they have made all the
buster they can; that they without money, with
out credit, and consequently powerless; and that
they are, moreover, on the eve Of a revolution,
which will ovcrturn the present government
Accounts on the 70 lowing day Qhe 30th AugusD
from Vera Cruz represent that there can be no
doubt of plan being nearly ripe to sverturn the
present government; and that Gen. Paroles, with
Torne and Valenci, propose forming trumvirate.
II is said that Gen. Paroles nothing about fed
eralism, but intended to make himself dictator.
The French minister has actually asked his pass
port--the government having refused to grant him
the satisfaction he demanded News of the antici-
pated revolution was expected every mail at Vera
Cruz.
Thus pass Off the gasconades and busters Of
Mexico! In what an elevated position does our
country stand, in comparison with her; and our
bold and prompt administration, with its wise pre-
cauuonary measures, compared with the hesitating
discouraged, disprited, disorganized, and revolu-
tonary army and officers of Mexico!
These incidents in our foreign relations are des-
tined to have an important and excellent influence
upon our domestic policy.

sU PHILADELPHIA, Sept IL, l645.
The project of making a railroad from Cham
bersburg to Pittsburg, from Harrisburg to Pitts
burg, in order to obvate the necessity of forming
junction with the Cumberland and Ohio railroad, il
is predicted by some of our papers, will end in
smoke. If it should, it will be most unfortunate
for Philadelphia. The businessmen and capital
lists of this city should take example by the spirit
which animates the New Workers in pushing for
ward the great Erie railroad and the eastern States
generally in all their railroad enterprises. Il vii
require promptitude, energy and courage, to begir
and complete this indispensable improvement; and
when il is completed, the prosperity of this city
will be placed upon an immovable foundation.
The reduction in the fare on the railway between
Washington and Baltimore, though long delayed
will prove to be the best step that the compan,
having charge Of that road has yet taken. con
siderable reduction in the fare on the Baltimore AMI
Ohio railroad is also required The amount nov
exacted (S7) is entirely too high. We are greatly
behind the East in the matter Of railroad manage
ment and railroad fare; and il is fact which, can
not be denied that in spite Of our exorbitant charges
and the great facilities furnished by our coe, most o
our railroads are losing concerns-whe those Of tn
East with low prices and economical management
are sharing large profits. comparison between
the condition of all the roads east of this city, ant
the condition Of those west and south Of It, wouit
show that while the rates Of the former are greatly
below those of the latter their profits, in all cases
are beyond them; and that many of the railroads
in this region are losing concerns, notwithstanding
their business and exorbitant fares. What more
unanswerable proof could be required that reason
