Ia AIDED Yankee had got indicted into the edito-
rial chair, SO different is the tone OF the paper
from the usual phlegmatic wording OF the Bel
gians.
In an article on the duty that every citizen
owes his country, of ranging himself on one side
or the other of political party in times OF political
excitement, il commences by quoting Solon's
law on ancient Athens, which made political
Indifference penal crime; and though such
y law is not recommended for les braces Belges
of the present day, still he dscourses on its
propriety with all the warmth of party editor,
on the eve of charter election.
II appears that great efforts are being made by
the democratic party in Belgium, to secure the
election of their candidates for the Congress that
is to assemble in June next.
A detailed account of the University of Vir-
GINA, in this country, is given, and the plan
pursued at that establishment seems to delight
the Brussels people very much. description
of the reception Of visiters by the President OF
the United States on the lst January, and of the
method of raising volunteers for the war, their
pay, mode of equipment, SC, is all given very
accurately, and in detail, and our various poll
tical institutions are regarded as models.
There has been coined in Belgium since the
year 1920 to the present time, upwards of twenty
one millions of pieces of coin.
There were some symptoms OF a riot at Bruges
about the lst ult., in consequence of the short
ness of the supply of bread, and placards had
been posted in various parts of the town, bearing
this inscription -" Bread at fifty centimes or
bood'' But the people generally did not seem to
encourage any of these riotous manifestations
and the authorities had taken every precaution to
prevent any outbreak.
In the matter ofrancorous expressions, LIE Debat
Social is toleraby we'll advanced In noticing a
speech made by M. Schaafrath, in the Cham
bers at Dresden, on the subject of universal suf-
frage and the poor mans iright to voice in the
affairs of state, NJ S. closes his remarks by say
ng-"Y Yes, say openly that it is time that this
condition of things be changed, otherwise we run
the risk of becoming the slaves of race of bank
ers, a race that are as devoid of spirit they
are of bowels and heart, and more unfortunate
still, devoid of % "Mr. S. is mistaken"

AFFAIRS WITH MEXICO. -Refecting on the nu-
merous brilliant victories that our arms have
achieved in Mexico il is to be wondered at that
the people of that country have not come to their
senses ere this, and seen fhe folly and madness
IN continuing a struggle so much to their disad-
vantage, and which, if prolonged for few years,
will certainly end in their subjugation a nation
and their incorporation with the United States
of the North.
In all the following battles victory has perched
our banners, and the loss 10 the enemy was
tremendous. In Palo Alto, Rcsaca de la Palma,
Monterey, and Buena Vista, in one section of
Mexico San Juan de UlGa and the city of Vera
Cruz in another; in New Mexico, at the battles
Of Sacramento, La Canada, Pueblo, de Taos, Ell
Embudo; in California, La Angeles, Monterey,
&c; in chihuahua, the city of Chihuahua and
FL Paso, &c. In all these battles the superiority
of American discipline, bravery, and science in
the art of war, were fully manifested to the
severe cost of the enemy, and yet our oppo-
nents appear as unwilling to make peace now as
they were when they commenced hostilities.
With such palpable proofs of the inutiity of
continuing a struggle with such tremendous
odds against them, any other civilized nation in
the world would sue for peace on Bonded knees,
If they could obtain it in no other way. Yet,
with the Mexicaae 1t 10 different. They con-
temptuously spurn the olive branch which we
have often extended to them, and disclaim all
idea OF even listening TO our proposals until the
soil OF Mexico il clear of our soldiery, and our
navy Withdrawn from her ports. This, of course,
is out of the question but we repeat, what can
we do with such a people, but eitheriannihilate
them, or incorporate them with us wholly!
