one fubect before it.
Tomorrow being the LIST Of November, and there.
fore the fesst Of All Saints, will be celebrated here
with all the pride, pemp and circumstance that
holy mother church in Mexico much delights in
The grand Plaza already Is adorned with an Immense
awning which extends along two sides, under which
stands being erected for the sale Of toys confeo
tonary&c 1t also customary this day for heads
Of families, and cousins, brothers, and, Of course,
lovers to make presents to the ladies' fashion which
however agreeable to the recipients sometimes proves
a most expensive one TO the donors. But there is
way of getting 1t; it is the custom and must be
kept up. The foreign National Guard and soldiers Of
the Mexican government will have q grand turn.o out
to- morrow. In the evening" the Franciscans, the Do
minicans and the Capuchins will have grand blow
out; for notwithstan ding they preach temperance,
reason Why they may not avail themselves Of the Feast
days which holy mother church appoints to comfort
In the former part of this letter omitted to me n
ton circumstance worthy Of notice, and which
shows that the Of the people begin
ming to think seriously OF adopting the principles of
those of the sister republic: The American tariff Of
lS46 placed in the hands Of one of the leading
members Of the government by eur Minister. and IS
being translated, in order to be placed in the
hands OF the members of both houses Of Congress.
Although Congress adonrns as have already stated,
the I'd, in all probability there will be extra
sion Of limited duration, for the sole purpose of the
further discussion Of the tariff question: and there
little doubt the American tariff of 1846 will have
slight influence on the minds Of the men composing
the Mexican Congress.
But 1t must be confessed, and have had to. day an
opportunity of knowing, that as far as the present
government Of Mexico Is concerned the very warmest
feeling towards all thngs American prevails. On the
occasion Of the American Minister taking leave of
the corps dpomatique it impossible for depict
the sfectionate warmth of feeling which evinced
towards him by the Mexican members of the body
in deed, am we'll informed, he sdjurcd by every
consideration which could influence a man occupying
prominent and eminent station, that he would re-
Mister much that is good for the future welfare Of the
Mexican nation Is anticipated by its most eminent
citizens.
