The Mexican Congress has been in secret ses
sion, discussing the financial ruin Of the Republic
The Minister of Finance has, in formal docu.
ment, announced to that body that the Government
finds itself actually without facilities OF any kind to
provide the least resources for its existence. The
same document says:
"Ofthe S500000 Congress lately conceded to the Co.
vernment together with other expenses 600 paid
the persons who made loans to The Treasury without pre-
MUM with the rest the Government has been compelled
face the necessities Of four months"
The thus borrowed obtained from private ind
vduals in loans Of five and six thousand dollars
matter Of favor The document concludes thus
stThs President orders notify the Chamber that
with the mens made to-day the treasury is exhausted"
In this startling crisis the Minister of Finance
proposes to obtain revenue of ten or twelve mil
lions OF dollars he present revenue being only six
and half millions annually by number of mea-
sures, which are thus alluded to by Mexican cor
respondent of the New York Tribune:

MASSACHUSETTS SENAToR.-The principal i'm

portance attending the political complexion of the
next House of Representatives of Massachusetts is
in reference to the choice OF United States Sena-
tor. This election is not made by joint ballot Of
the two branches, as is commonly supposed, but
each House elects by and for itself. II, therefore,
the Wings should have control of the House, none
other than Wing will receive the vote of that
body, and, the Senate non-concurriDg, no choice
would be made, and the post of Senator would be
vacant. The chance for preventing the election Of
any but true Wing United States Senator should
stimulate the Wings of the towns yet to elect repre-
sentatives to the most active exertons

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF PALMELLA.-On the
afternoon Of October IL the Duke Of PAMELA
died at Lisbon. He was one of the last of the
statesmen Of the beginning of this century who
took part in the importan: arrangements of the
Congress at Vienna. By his good sense and infor-
nation there, he gained in that Assembly such a
weight of influence as was attached to no other
Representative of so small Power. Talleyrand
accustomed to say that his attachment TO sound
principles and his graceful manners gave him a
commanding influence in its councils.
In Portugal he afterwards distinguished himself
as the statesman to whose constitutional principles
and foresight due the gift of liberal Constitu-
ton, which accompanied the return Of the Royal
Family from Brazil. In The subsequent difficulties
of Portugal, he was the leader of her Liberal
Statesmen and although rudely treated of late years
by the Government of Donna Maria l. he has never
abandoned his devotion TO the real interests of that
Government or the Liberal party Of Portugal.

The Boston Advertiser says that many distin-

meeting, without distinction of party, and in no.
wise intended TO interfere with party organization,
at which there shall be some public and unequivocal
expression of the sentiment of the community on
the duty of obedience to all the provisions Of the
Constitution, and of sustaining the constitutional
authorities in the execution OF the laws necessary
for carrying them into effect, as paramount to al
other political considerations; and also of the expe
diency ofputting end to violent popular agitation
on the questions relating to slavery.
The Boston Courier also states that such meet
ing of the mass Of the People has been for some
time contemplated, and only deferred until the
State election should have taken place. A call fol
such meeting had been already signed by great
numbers of citizens, deservedly influential in both
OF the great political parties.
