OPENING OF THE ENGLISH STATE PAPER
OFFICE. = Hitherto the history of the
American Colonies has been lacking in
some vital parts, owing to the restrictions
placed upon access to or use Of the records
preserved in the State Paper Office at
London. The policy Of the English Gov
ernment has undergone change. 1t is
now considered that nothing can be lost by
an exposure Of the secrets which, up TO II
recent date, have been so rigidly guarded I;
and at the present moment it is not more
difficult to obtain access to any Of the
records Of the State Paper Office during
the period of the colonial history of the
United States, than to the books Of we'll
regulated library. For two or three years
Sir John Romilly has been occupied with
having them duly calendered and indexed
The records Of the Office will add much
valuable matter to the history of all the
original thirteen States, and to none more
than that Of New York. A correspondent
Of the Richmond Enquirer sends that paper
some documents which show that the
records are likely also to throw side lights
upon the history Of many men Of the era.

MEXIG0 O.

The correspondent Of the New York
Tines, writing from the city of Mexico,
Aug. 29th, gives the annexed account Of
the state of affairs in the Mexican Repub-
lie. At that date, news of the capture Of
Tampico by the Liberals had not been re-
ceVcd at the capital ~
re is but one story to tell yoa; the
arr nos at length resolved its,lt into
L.-. 3 perfect state Of anarchy The
armies Of the government and thos- OF the
Fedoralists have made no important move
ments for a long time The last we know
of Vidaurri he was preparing to quit San
Luis Potosi (where he arrived on the 18th
inst. for this place. The main forces Of
the government are concentrated on his
line Of march, under commanded Miramou.
The government has reported several Veto
ries obtained by their Chief over the ad-
vance forces Of Vidaurri in the mountains
between San Luis and Queretaro; bnt We
know from experience that these victories
are all moonshne. The reports OF them
are only circulated here to make bunkum
for the government to facilitate some
scheme to raise fnnds. The fact is, no in.
portant battle has been fought, nor none
will likely he fought, until Vidaurri arrives
at Qnsretaro, or perhaps not until he comes
near this city. His tactics are clearly 10
worry out the forces Of the government.
On the government side the plans are to
hold out as long as possible, with the hope
Of somo disaifection among the Federal
forces, with the hope Of making some com-i
promise at the last moment, II they cannot
triumph over the Federal forces BY corrup-
tion. With these plans We are doomed to
a long period Of endurance; yet. should VI

Gus acts OF wanton Outrage, not only on

The New York Herald correspondent
writes that Mr.. Forsyth. American Minis

ports, aud would close the legation about
the end Of September In taking this
step, Mr.. Forsyth, in obedience 70 bis In

ment that the Unlied States had fully de-
cided upon calling Mexico % an account

American citizens and the American flag.

like should not be repeated IN the future

to Obtain from the liberals, upon their tri
umph, treaty for the eession Of more
Mexican territory to the United States.

DURABLE PAPER.-Science, which has Of
late contributed SO much to the comfort
and welfare of man, has recently made
another simple discovery, which promises
great results in the ordinary affairs of life.
By passing unglazed paper through a solu-
ton Of sulphuric acid and water, it is found
that an entire change is effected in its
structure, by which it obtains the strength
and tenacity of parchment, aud acquires
properties that will enlarge its usefulness to
great degree. II this process, on large
scale, should prove to be successful aud
economic, it is hardly possible to exagerate
the value and importance of the discovery.
The ephemeral character of our present
paper, the fragilIty Of the school book or
library volume, the destructibilty of i'm
portant legal documents, even the changing
nature of our newspapers and bank bills,
will be revolutionized.

EGYPrIAN MUMMY RAGS IN YANKEE
PAPER MILL A correspondent Of the
Journal of Commerce writing of the paper
mills of Gardiner, Me-, says:
Yesterday | visited, in company Of Mayor
Woods of Gardiner, the two principal pa
per factories, and was astonished in look
ing at the millions Of pounds of rags piled
up in warehouses or spread over acres Of
ground to find that portion Of them had
recently arrived from Alexandria in Egypt.
They were the most disagreeably odorifer-
Gus old clothes that have ever had the
bad fortune TO smell. This, doubtless, was
owing to the fact that part Of them we're
in damaged state. The Egyptian rags
had been collected from all the corners Of
the Pasha's dominions-from the living and
the dead. How many cast-Olf garments ol
Howadjis aud Hadjis; how many TINS Of
big, loose, Turkish, ragged breeches; and
how many head pieces in the shape Of old
doifed turbans the deponent sayeth not
But the most singular and ceanest division
of the whole filthy mass came not from the
limbs of the present generation Of travellers,

from the respectable defunct members ol

A PRoHHECY AT FAULT. When the 6ill
for the organization Of Oregon as Terri
tory was before the Senate, Senator Dick
inson, Of New Jersey, ventured upon a
prophecy, which at this day sounds rather
oddly:
But is this Territory Of Oregon ever to
become State, a member of this Union?
Never. The Union is already too extern
sve, (there were at this time twenty-four
States, and we must make three or four
new States from the Territories already
formed Every member Of Congress ought
to see his constituents once a year. This
is clearly very dfficnlt for those in the most
remote parts Of the Union. Yet o young,
able-bodied Senator might travel from Ore
gOn to Washington and back once yearl
but he could do nothing else. It would be
more expeditions, however, to come by
water round Cape Horn, or to pass through
Behring's Straits to the Atlantic, and so
on to Washington. It is true this passage
is not yet discovered, except upon our maps,
but it will be as soon as Oregon shall be a
State.

This Lopez determined to stop; and in vio-

Paraguay feet of thirteen SAIL exclusive
