New ORLEANS, Sept 29.-The Picoyunc is in re-
cept of late and interesting news from Mexico, of
which the following is a summary:
''The papers report the vomto still prevailing
quite extensively in Vera Cruz, and numbers dying
daily. Up to the 9TH inst, Gen. Robles had not
made landing, but remained on board the British
steamer Clyde, at anchor off the port. 1t was the
impression among quite a number, that he might
be called upon to succeed Zuloaga at the head of
the government"
The proposition recently offered for the recall of
Santa Anna, was strongly opposed by Gen. Eche-
case the proposition should be persisted in.
The final success of the liberals was not doubted
Mr.. Forsyth, the American minister, was still in
Mexico (at Tacubaya,) where he would remain for
several weeks, or until the vomito had disappeared
sufficiently to render travelling safe.

CLIMATE.

Hitherto have been accustomed to judge
Of the temperature OF AroOs,oOk only in
connection with its high northern latitude,
extending as 1, does beyond TIE forty-seventh
parallel. but there are other modifying in.
fuences to which my attention has been re-
Gently directed, and which think are en-.
TITLED to considerable weight.
The Androseoggin river at Bethel is six
hundred feet above the sea, and the heieh,
is rapidly increased rs we advance to the
north par, Of the county; and OF course
mos, Of the ball farms no farther north than
Bethel. are considerably more than six hun
dred feet above TIE sea. Now the highest
point Of what would be regarded as the ar.
able land Of AroOstook county, is only eleva.
tel four hundred feet above the sea, rs be-
fore stated, and descends by an easy grade
To the coast. This slight elevation and gen.
tie slope towards the sea, rs any one will
perceive, must have the effect greatly TO
equalite the temperature through the year.
Besides our proximity to the white noun.
tain chain subject Us in this county to sud
den changes Of weather. The cold storms
and winds which come down upon US 80
suddenly from the mountains, changing
pleasant morning into cold uncomfortable
day, or calm evening into rough and
boisisrous night, are familiar to US all.
None Of these sudden changes are known in
Aroostook. So we see that our county. sit
uated q little farther south, and With n
higher elevation, possesses no great ad'an.
iage over Aroostook, with its northern and
comparatively low situation. Hence the
unrcasonableaess Of those in our section who
cry out against Aroostook on account Of its
cold climate. The SHOWS come on little
earlier and hold on little later there than
they do with us, but all this is 30 much the
