MEXICO.

WASHINGTON, March, lS6O-I saw an intelli-
gent American to-day, who has been doing business
for several years in Mexico lie describes the
condition of that country deplorabIe in the ex-
IRENE; says things getting worse and worse
every day; and the population is actuay decreasing;
that the civil constantly going on are destroy
ing large numbers, and that the Mexicans have
greatly improved in the of war; that their battles
formerly used to be bloodess to a certain degree
but at present. there is important change in the
result, for the slaug liter is very great He says,
also, that there is extreme prejudice against this
country, and they cannot bear the idea of coming
under our power, though they themselves see no
better solution to their frequent commotiOns He
describes the climate exquisite, neither cold nor
hot, but temperate that very little of the country
comparatively, would bc slave country. The
same referred, Also to the splendid estates that
could be purchased for a song; that al! bust
ness was interrupted, and accordingly real estate
had lost much of its former value. 1t does seem
q great pity that glorious region should be
tending to ruin. Gov. Houston has determined,
it is said to invade the country adjoining the Rio
Granue, if the border difficulties continue 1t is
pretty we'll understood that the treaty with Jaurez
will not be ratified, yet it possesses strength
and worth, for, notwithstanding the contcndiny
interests engaged against il, the hope of ratica.
ton still holds its ground in the Senate When
ever the United States assumes u proeutorate over
Mexico, they will find that they have undertaken
a work that will keep them busy, with no profit
whatever, for many long years.

concealed weapons seems to be on the increase in
some of the Western and border States. 1t is SAID
thatln Kentucky prevails now more than formerly,
and especially among young men.-Even among
ourselves 1t has not gone altogether into disuse.
Certainly this is no improvement on the days of
chivalry, when every gentleman carried his sword
by his side, and, when difficulty occurred, called
upon his opponent to draw" and the adyersaries
fell to and settled the controversy without any
undue advantage on either side. Would it not be
practicable, if deadly weapons must be carried to
revive this old and honorable custom,

sderably previous reports Of the condition of the
crops Although storms and locusts have done
much damage in the Russian grain bearing PROV

will turn out to be good one. Spain will have
large surplus for expectation, and most likely
of an excellent quality. The deficiency will be
