Important from Mexico ana California.

We give in our paper to-day, variety of I'M
portant and interesting intelligence from Calfor-
MIA and Mexico, which has been conveyed to us
by means of those special arrangements which we
announced to our readers some weeks since.
The news from California was brought to Ma
zatlan and thence to the city of Mexico and across
the country to Vera Cruz, by agents. arrived in
the Great Western at Mobile on the Goth inst, and
reached our office yesterday. 1t does not give
any intelligence of later date than that by the
Crescent City but it was in the country seven
days before the ARRIVAL of that steamship, and had
she not reached this port before it came to hand,
we should have been enabled to furnish the public
exclusively with the news brought by that vessel.
Amongst the details of this intelligence, we give
a condensed translation of the message of the Pre-
sdent of Mexico, delivered on the LIST inst. 1t is
quite an interesting paper and throws considerable
light on the difficulties between the State and ge
neral government Of that republic, which so often
cause civil war and bloodshed. The remedies
suggested by the President would be of great SER
vice, we should think; though in contrasting this
message with those Of our own chief magistrates,
we cannot help thinking that Mexico and the Mex
lcans are by no means fitted for the enjoyment or
even the appreciation of the federal form of go
vernment. The inaugural address of General Lo-
PEI, the newly elected President of the republic of
New Granada, which we published some time
since, was document far superior TO the present
one.
We have not space to-day for further comment
on this news But our readers will find that the
copious details which we have given, will amply
repay an attentive perusal.
