The iGdueRce Of great men is SO wonderful
that I am afraid John Smith, Of the great
Smith t%mIY, may come out some day in let
tar which may set al Europe by the ears, knock
the continent of America into a cooked hat, asd
set the Atlantic ocean on fire. How aBfaIIy
grand It sounds TO hear this fzr-famed Mexican
talk in his sublime way about "ths dsstinies of
a nation entrusted to my care" and then his
of revolution, and that quiet remark about his
sword and the devotion Of his bes5 days TO his
country. So strickingly patriotic, SO refresh
inglY cool How eloquent his illusions to that
powerful and friendly hand" the fingers of
which not long ago morally and GguTatively
tweaked his nose severely. Oh, hHnksyism,
sand forth and claim the world for your own.
Poor MIramon, yeu are not the worst of hunkeys
perhaps; for where there are so many 1t would
be difficult to decide, ahd goa have million
and q half Of your country to c0mpsts with;

The l55n Ult. WAS celebrated in Vera Cruz
and no doubt the capital shared in the snthusi-
ssn with which the birthday OF a foreign mon
arch should fl every Mexican bosom.
On the Ssa rumoFs were prevalent in Ysrs
Cruz that Mstsmoras had declared foE the en-
pire after the people had dissrmsd the few Jua-
rista troops that were there. Since the papers
Of the l5ah do not confirm this rumor, we are at
liberty TO diseredit it.

November %, 1854 relative to courts Of justice
throughout Mexico. The town Of Medellin aud
