The Mexican ideas Of colonization are confined to
agriculturists, but the immigrants would in many
instances prefer to reside in the Cities If they were
artisans DESTROYS of following their trades. The
populations OF the cities are different from
the peonage in the country that 1t Is i'm
portant you should not mistake my remarks
made of the one as applying to the other. For
social qualities the better classes in the cities
not much behind the same kind people elsewhere.
For poteness and refinement they think themselves
far superior to our democratic soveregns and surely
they are equal to them. In morality the cities OF
Mexico would compare favorably with our own me-
tropoltan manners and customs.
The great defect in the inhabitants of the cities s
their want of the practical information so common
in the United States. Here theory and book learn
ing are abundant; but in the North we add prac
tice, which ia of as much importance as water to
steam engine. For this artisans will flock to
the cities as immigration commences in ear
nest Even at this time every foreign artisan is
sure to find Immediately profitable employment.
You will perceive by your files Of Mexican papers
the importance given to leading editorial OF your
the present condition Of things in this country meet
with the hearty approval of the liberal party.
P. S.-There has been some Misunderstanding in
the cabinet, and Senior Payne, the Minister of Fin
ance, has resigned. No one has yet been named to
fill his place. Geneml Soto has been appointed
Minister Of War and Marine. Payno's mission to
Berlin has, in consequence of the rupture, been
given up; he is, therefore, named as Minister to
Brussels and agent for colonizati0n-rather singu-
lar mixture of employments. But some things can
be done by an agent which would not look well in
print II done by foreign minister.

the Captain The Ministerial Changes.
Comonfort Is trump. He is dealing right and
left This steamer takes to you the news of the ex
pusion and Punishment Of the Archbishop Of Puebla
man of unbounded influence as prelate and as
man of wealth.
His income, it is said, amounts to about $50 900
year, and his private fortune is not less than $780,
600. You will say that those who lay hands on such
person run much risk of being worsted. Still Co.
monfort has risked it, and no one cries against it.
The Bishop, who is about forty years OF age, ar
rived here in excellent health and was exceedingly
pleased in beholding view of the open sea before
him. The steamer Hidalgo (the old Benjamin
Franklin of libuster renown), got steam up to take
this lustrious Bishop to Havana but lo just on the
eve Of starting, they discovered all the machinery
out OF order, and she could not CO. Then the illus
trious Bishop got frightened, appealed to the Cover
nor to be transferred to any other ship ready to sail
for any foreign port. The French frigate France
and Mexico, bound for Bordeaux then was selected
to drop the Bishop at Havana for which the captain
received the handsome sum of 81 900.
The superstitious population bring the recent
earthquake in connection with the Punishment of the
Bishop, and say even heaven and earth are dis
pleased with such measure.
Some say already that this is all show, and that
the Bishop is reading again terra Jirma somewhere
in the neighborhood, and ready to pay those again
that are willing to kick up revolution. But say,
quien s0be.
The ex Minister of Santa Anna, Aguela, has been
caught somewhere in Oajaca, and carried on to
Mexico to stand trial.
A Geographic despatch, just received, informs US
