The SYRACUSE AFFAIR IN GEoRGIA.-The fugi-
tive slave mob and rescue at Syracuse excites good
deal of attention at the South. The papers COM
ment on it vanously, according to their tendencies
and af6nites the Union journals more in sor-
row than anger. The Savannah Republican, a
strong Union journal, thus comments on the affair
"These at the North, and if per-

MEXICO.


We have files of Vera Cruz papers to the be-
ginning Of October, and from the city of Mexico to
the 9th ultimo.
The intelligence is of minor importance. Every
thing about the Government of Mexico appears to
be in lamentable confusion. 1t is nearly impossible
to get together quorum of the Deputies and
when perchance the constitutional number is pre-
sent, they do nothing but submit projects upon
projects, squabble, and fight. The Treasury is
reduced to its lowest ebb; the resources Of the
Government are almost annihilated.
We stated some time since that the Cabinet of
President ARIsTA had resigned. Intellectual ef-
forts have been made to appoint successors. We
learn from the Trait d. Union of the 24th that Mr..
RoBLEs had accepted the post Of Minister of War.
Mr.. EsTEvA positively refuses that Of Minister Of
Finance. MI. RAMIREZ is Minister of Public Az
fairs.
On the 18th the people Of Mexico celebrated the
anniversary of their national independence, and on
the 9th that of the union Of the States. There
were many tumults and disorderly proceedings in
various parts of Mexico on the last occasion, and
notably at Alvarado where Spaniards were insulted
and maltreated.-NesU Orleans Bee.

To September, ls49 Ito, 900 bales.
To September, 1850. 107, 008 bales.
To September, 1851. ............. 81, 900 bales.
This is deplorable result but it has decreased

For the year 1s49-'50. .4s7, 900 bales.
For the year l85O-'51. .404, 900 bales.

This is not the best evidence of the prosperity Of
