Mexican AnaiIs.

terest1ng matter in relation to the affairs Of
Mexico, among the most interesting of
which is the statement, in form that en-
titles it to seeming credit, to the effect, that
a stupendous project has been formed for
the government of Mexico, exceeding great
ly in magnitude and other circumstances,
the project of which resulted in the empire
of the British company in India. A COM
mercial company has been formed in New
York and other cities, to which the govern
nent of Mexico is party, with capital of
ten millions, which may be increased to fifty
millions, one-hal 90 be taken in each coun-
try, with view to take possession Of Next
co, her government and people, mines, ma
tional lands aud estates, the collection of
public rents, Importation and expectation
of products, and the appropriation of all
lucrative enterprises, and the organization
of revenue guard AS this project is sim
liar to the British India Company. it is de-
nominated by the Herald, "Our Indian
Empire OF course, the consummation of
this vast project must depend upon the ae-
quiescence of the governments of Mexico
and the United States. 1t is not very prob
aole that the assent of our government will
be withheld from project, which promises
such vast benefits, and as the proposition is
said to have originated with Mexico, its
success seems probable,
The HeralGs Mexican correspondence
under date of February 1st, says a treaty
has been signed between the two govern
ments, by which the United States are to
loan to Mexico $l5 100000, receiving as
security fifteen per cont. of the customs,
with an arrangement for more unrestricted
commercial intercourse, as further consid-
Grafton, in connection with postal treaty.
OF this sum, S3,O00,000 goes to pay Ameri-
can claims. Intimation of this arrangement
has been heretofore received.
A correspondent of the New York In
Cyoniea. writing from Washington, Feb s,
mentions another important project in con-
ncction with this subject-that q new treaty
/ las been formed in Mexico, between the L.
| 5. Minister and the Commoofurt govern
ment, for the csssion Of Sonora and its in
| corporation into the American Union, in
/ consideration Of several millions Of dollars.
The treaty was made with all the forrnali-
! ties, rs regards negotiations, but has not
yet been approved by the United States gov
ernment The correspondence asserts, how
ever, iha; the treaty meets with the opposi-
] 8 l.
/ instructions, and doubts whether any of
those projects would receive the sanction Of
the government during the administration
Of President Pierce. We are Of the opinion
tia; Mr. Pierce has had an opportunity to
close bis much abused administration in a
blaze of glory. and shall await the arrival
| OF another steamer with much interest.
