Interesting from Mexico.

We have received the report of the Secre-
taIy of the Treasury OF Mexico. We have already
given in the Herald the principal points Of il. We
translate. to-day, some passages, which will be
read with interest.
Senior Manuel Payne, Secretary Of Treasury,
after having spoken of the condition of the finances
when he wss called to ill the vacancy in the min
s,ry of Mexico, says that he was obliged to make
loan Of 200 900 dollars at the rate of two per cent
a month, with the guarantee Of the indemnity
granted by the United States The Houses must
approve of such act, for il was made under au-
thoriry given, during the session, by the govern

Smuggling had caused a considerable de crease
in the revenue, and the Minister proposes to take
prompt ard energetic measures TO suppress II. For
this object guard will be sent to the ports and
cities on the frontier, such as Comitan, Guatemala
Monterey, Rio Bravo, Vera Cruz, NC. lie hopes,
by these assures, TO see the income of the gov

"a great abuse which took lis origin in Que Of
the stpulaticns Of the treaty with the United

Ii,d the eli. ntion OF the government, and active
measures are being taken IN order to ascertain the
quantity Of goods coming into the custom houses
Of Vera Cruz, Tsmrico, Matamoras. and Ma

goods cleared from every port. The notes given
by the custom houses will be compared with those
existing in the Office Of the Mnser of the Treasu-
ry, and IL will be sscertained what is the true i'm
portauon. This great evil, which appeared to be
without remedy, will be thus promptly stopped.
The minister having noticed some inattenton
in several clerks Of the custom houses Of Camargo,
Maamoras, and Tampico, has dismissed them,
and replaced thsm by persons ulon whom the
greatest confidence can he reposej Several other
changes have also been made in the states Of the

having read in the Transactions of the Royal
Society of London an account Of Il new mode
of mitigating the violence of the disease by
inoculation, us practised in Turkey, commu-
nicated it to the physicians of the place, and
urged their adoption oft. With the cxcep
ton of one individual, il was unanimously
opposed by the Faculty. That individual was
DIR. Zabdial Boylston, who, with the conf
dence of an honest and enlightened mind,
commenced his operations upon his own
children and servants. The controversies
which ensued were of the most ierocious
and disreputable character. Such was the
tempest of popular indignation raised against
the practice, that both Mather and DIR. Boyl-
ston were in danger of losing their lives =
Passion and prejudice on the one side, how
ever, were met by decision and success on
the other and inoculation defended by al
most all the clergy--nany of whom preach
ed and wrote in its defcnce-soon triumphed
over opposition and became prevalent IL is
gratifying to know that although opposed and
slandered at home, DIR. B. was appreciated
abroad. In 1725 he visited England, and
