The prominer,. feature in the news 10 the open
eanvassing of the question Of erecting con-
stitutional monarchy in Mexico. This IS the
common theme of conversation at Vera Cruz,
and in late number of the Memorial! Histo-
rica-the successor of FL Siglo XlA-Is an
earnest article written TO show, that monaF-
chies are no more exempt from revolutionary
disturbances than Republics. The question

Anintelligent passenger by the Anax thinks
there is scarcely chance of war between the
two countries that Mexico. when it comes
t. the pinch, will receive our Minister with
the best grace possible. .:.r

Robberies still continue very frequent in
Mexico. One occurred ON the 9th ult., direct.
ly opposite the National Palace, three thou
sand dollars in specie being stolen. The streets
are PatrolIed by the military, but there is no
efficient police.
So strained are the means Of the Govern.

great distress.
