Inc following is an extract from letter from Mex
leo, dated the nth of November
81 will give you brief account of the most impor-
tant political affairs of this republic
The session OF the General Congress having been pro-
longed only thirty days, there was not sufficient time for
islaors TO decide the grave questions which the govern
ment had committed to tIer debeIation, so that laws
of the CHEST importance, and mpeously demanded by
the situation of the country with respect the finances
colonization &c. yet been gated Never
theless during the last of the session. the
empowered appoint, with the previous appreciation
of the council commission fix the boundaries with the
United States, according the treaty OF peace and 1t
decreed that the ranks of the regular army should be filled
by voluntary enlistment. This most important measure,
has in view the better organic tton of the army and
puts end the tyranny and oppression formerly exer
csed in the forcibe mpressmen of citizens into the mill
tary service
''The Congress- tax ing into consideration the actual con
dton OF the army, empowered the Executive make
Of the national guard of the frontier States for the prese
ton of order and security of the national territory.
"The government is increasingly occupied in The reor-
ganization of the finances The alcabakas having been
abolished it has become necessary double the amount
OF the direct contributions in the districts and territories OF
the confederacy.
"The government has established directory general of
roads, which will have charge also of all the works of
canal OF Huelhueoca. 1t is believed that this
OF great Importance, and that OF science and skul
engineers will be employed in this directory
Zone OF the questions which remain TO be determined at
the session is the abolition of commercial prohibitions
The government proposes to do away with the prohibory
system establish duties tor the protection of the indus
try of the country and to indemnify with portion of these
dutes manuac whose business would be destroyed
by free trade
'n Odzaba and Aguascaentes there have been at
temps revolution, which the government has easily
pressed The troubles in Orizaba originate in the claim
that district ption from restrictions the sale and
cultivation of tobacco 1t is probable that the government
will reestablish, its Who'll, extent the monopoly of
bacco but will permit the plant TO be freely cultivated
coasts and in other places, whence may be exported
to foreign countries
"Thc government is ntently occupied in framing new
political organization for the territory OF Lower California,
for the encouragement Of coonz ,ton, and the especial
protection of the interests OF its inhabitants.
"Mr Lavasseur, envoy extraordinary and minister pen-
ipotenary OF the French republic, is ON his way TO this

it, because the Detroit Free Press says she gave the
