Our DIPLOMATIC SKRvICE.-A resolution was
adopted some time since by the Senate, instruct
ing the Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire
into the expediency Of graduating the salaries of
our diplomatic agents abroad, according to the re-
lative expenses of the respective capitals to which
they are assigned. We trus. the committee will
report in favor Of the plan. 1t is understood that
Mr. Rives has written letter to Mr.. Webster on
the subject complaining, that even at the republi-
can court of France, nine thousand year will not
keep up our minister's establishment. According
to Mr. Pakenham, good dinners are half the battle
of diplomacy, and the most favorable treaties are
gained by liberal feeding. Besides, the house of
our representative at Paris is very natural resort
of his fellow. citizens, and common civiity exacts
heavy item of expense for their entertainment.
Again, the old adage, that "when we are in
Rome we must do as the Romans d." applies to
our ministers. They must respect, to some extent,
the usages OF society abroad. 1t is the readlsst
and smoothest way of securing position which
will command the important secrets of intriguing
courts A minister who shuts himself up on
stinted allowance, may find his government cir
cumvented before he has had any knowledge of the
business. At Paris and at London especially, the
lofty character of country, its intimate relations
with the CONNIE rcial negotiations of France and
England, demand of our ministers something of
liberalty to maintain their proper position, to say
nothing of their entertaining and assisting their
fellow citizens from the United States. Mr.. Law
renee is probably expanding an amount of money
in London, per annum, greater than the salary of
the President He can afford it, and it is, no doubt,
advantage to our government, far that goes.
An allowance equal to his hberality with his own
private funds, is not, however, necessary. There
is medium The pay of the minister should at
least be sufficient to justify poor man in accepting
the appointment. The simplicity of life consistent
with our institutions need not be forfeited, and
should not be. All that justice and sound policy
require, is, that our representatives abroad be
paid according to their necessary expenses in dis
charging their whole duty; and to do this requires
a liberal outlay in groceries. The graduation sug-
gesed in the instructions of the Senate ought to be
carried out.

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE IN MEXICO = IMPROVE
MENT OF THAT CoUNTRY.-We mentioned, a few
days since, that the new Mexican government, IN
der the administration of General Arista, had
directed its attention earnestly to the construction
of several extensive lines of telegraph in that
try, and that the capital stock had been taken by
the villsges through which they will pass.
We have since learned that a contract has been
entered into by the Mexican government with VIM
George Stewart, Esq the Mexican Consul at this
port and Senior Juan de la Granja, of Mexico, to
build line from Vera Cruz to the City of Mex
ico-a distance OF three hundred miles-on the
understanding that it will be in operation by the
first of May next, as far as FL Ojo de Aqua, dis
lance OF one hundred and twenty miles from the
latter place. Another line will soon after
be built between Acapulco and the City of
Mexico. When both are completed, there will
be magnetic communication between the At
lantc and the Pacific. These important projects
will be entered upon Immediately, and Mr., III. F.
Makepeace, who was for a long time connected
with the Albany and New York Telegraph Com.
pany, as chief operator, will sail in day or two
in the bark Brazileiro, Captain Marsh, for Vera
Cruz, with the necessary wire, instruments and
implements for the work. He will take out several
operators with him.
These telegraph lines will be OF great convenience
to this country, and will, no doubt be literally pa
uonized by the merchants of the United States and
California. As far as communication is concerned,
New York will be within ten days OF San Fran
cisco We also learn that the road from Acapulco
10 The City of Mexico will be shortly improved,
and line of stages built for the purpose Of convey
ing passer gers between those places.

az she is, by these republics, and being the only
portion of the American continent in which the
monarchical form Of government has continued TO
prevail, Brazil occupies the same position towards
the former as the republic of France does towards
the monarchies of Europe Taking now into con-
sderation this close proximity the conclusion Is at
once obvious and apparent, that every disturbance
hat may occur in the adjacent countries, must
affect more or less, the peace and tranquility of the
empire of Brazil; that every political convslsion in
her immediat neighborhood must exercise detr-
mental influence upon the minds of her people, and
in a great measure compromise her own political
existence. For this reason there is not the slight.
est doubt but that the frequent disturbances and
connections in these countries, and particularly
the hostile and belhgerent disposition recently
eyinced by her republican neighbors of Buenos
Ayres, Paraguay, and Bolivia, must have proved a
source of infinite annoyance and alarm to the peo-
pie of Brazil. But it is not the geographical posi-
ton Of Brazil alone which threatens the peace and
security of that country, and which swakens in the
mind ofthe politician serious reflect ons and opinions
as the destiny that ultimate ly awaits that empire
it is also the purposes and contrivan ces the de-
signs and intentions of the neighboring republics.
Considering that Brazil is the only empire on this
continent, and considering the readiness and
anxiety with which the numerous republics Of
South America endeavour to pick quarrel, and
seek TO embroil themselves in difficulties with Bra
z-consdering their incessant hostlities and their
sudden declarations of war, il cannot for moment
be disputed that they have serious designs upon
BTaz The recent movements tend to corrobora!e
this view of the matter; and although it cannot be
denied that at the same time, there are under cur
rent ntrgues going on, yet they are all ultimately
directed towards the completion of this object or
design.
When we reflect upon the extent the power,
and the energy of most of these republics, it
appears altogether probable, that in course of the
revolutions and convulsons which are of frequent
occurrence in those territories, some powerful
men viii arise, who, inspired by republicanism,
and animated by desire of fame, will lead them
10 the subjugatlon of Brazil. Although no just
charge or complaint can be urged against her-her
people and her government having hitherto con-
ducted themselves peaceably and quietly-yet we
fully convinced that this is her mmutable des.
tiny; and ere the lapse Of many years we will find
that the empire of Brazil will have been bletted
from the map Of America.
