The news from Mexico is important, and we COM
mend the letter of correspondent to our readers
sosh in bank parlors and Bible societies Amongst
she personal incidents mentioned in our adyices
there are few deserving of note. Capt. Hansen,
Of the Mexican navy, well known in this city from
his guano speculations killed by two sailors on
board his man-of-war schooner Suerte, recently,
few leagues of the port Of Acapulco. General

De ia Rosa the Mexican Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
General L. Vega has been sent prisoner to sthe
castle Of Perote for publishing his opinions about
the order Of government reducing the rebel officers
~ Puehla to the rank Of common soldiers. He GEN.
sured the order breach Of confidence, as unwise,
and unjust. In the sugar district of Cuautla south
Of Mexico, the poems have refused to work until
higher wages paid 1t is supposed this move
ment will prove disastrous to the CROP There is much

general impression that she not lost by accident
An American paper called the Extraordinary will
soon be published in the capital in the English Ian
guage. Mr.. William Moran is to be the editor and
proprietor. Admiral German, who was captured at
La Paz, in Lower California, with about hundred

On leave. He is said to be very i'll, and
especially sick of the administration at Washington.

the Palmetto State he returns TO defeat re-

fully prepared to pitch into Caleb Cushing particu-
ary, into Governor Marcy generally, into the
Brigader extensively, and into the Cabinet pro-
miscuously. He win "a tale unfold" much larger

pictures on the Meslla Valley treaty and Of the
three million drafts recently paid. From
data acquired in Mexico he thinks some Of
this money may yet be found about Washington.
BY the bye, what has become of Senator's Hale's
call for the correspondence? President Comonfort
is now in full communion with the puro, or demo-
cratic party, with whom he is universally popular.
His sentiments have recently undergone a great
change in their favor. Outside pressure, including
his American friends, may have had some weigh
with him in adopting this line of policy. All the
papers extol the liberal measures of the Mexican
government.

fine with copious showers Of rain, which are of in
