AFFAIRS IN MExICo.-The details of the last
intelligence from Mexico are of very interest
ing and important character, both in relation to
its internal and external relations and are quite
in contrast with the unsatisfactory news of
anarchy and revolution. which for long time
past we have been in the habit Of receiving from
that distracted republic. The feature of most
interest to the United States and to the world.
is the supposed settlement of the Tehuantepec
affair-the grant for the construction Of the
road across the Isthmus having been conceded
to Mr.. Sloo and his associates, by Mexico. The
Mexican press intimates that to the recent de-
termined attitude assumed by the Congress Of
the United States, may be attributed this FINAL
decision in favor of the mixed company to
which the grant has. after so much delay been
conceded; but our government has yet to act
in the matter.
As to the internal affairs of the nation. they
seem to be on the point of arriving at a like IA
vorable dfnouement The revolution has ceased
to be such, and, having everywhere triumphed.
it has now assumed legitimate character.

particulars of the plan will be found; with The
general news, in another portion Of our col

voked pursuant to its provisions, for the forina-
ton Of new constitution, republican, repre-
sentative and popular, and elections are to be
held throughout the States, districts and terri
tories for the appointment Of president who
is to be sworn into office on the 18th of March
