Gov. Neil s. BGowN.--This gentle
man, 1T present Minister to st. Peters
burg, has written home a letter in which
he says.
on the 18th Of August I was presented
to the Emperor, Empress, and other ruerl-
beers Of the imperial family. Tliecerefno-
ny took place at Peterhtif, sofne twenty.
miles distant, where the Etnperor's sum
lrler paluce is situated. There was less
formality than | had expected. A speech
lfrom flle Minister was dispensed with,
according to custom here, and the
whole ceremony between me and the EN-
peror was a conversation Of abolit ten
minutes.

been sent to MEXICO with the alterations
deenled necessary by this Government,
Willie other points have been freely con-
ceded to the friendly power Of Mexico
Il is expected that the treaty viii be inn
mediateiy approved by the Congress Of
Mexico, and the Senate of the United
States, and Publications exchanged in
Mexico. The Tchuaftepec route will
shorten the d~istanceto San Francisco,
California, by some fifteen hundred miles,
and will usher in d new era in the trade
Of the Pacific.
