number of railroad projects have received the
imperial approval, the latest Of which Is that Of
a railroad from Queretaro TO GuanaJuato. with
branch road TO some city in the state OF
Miohoacan, which is yet TO be designated.
The cost of the construction Of this road Is
estimated q, four and half millions, to be
subscribed for in shares Of $50 pastres, payable
at tho rate of only two pias;res month. Thus
Tie interest OF n large portion of the moneycd
classes Is enlisted IN the maintenance of peace
and the present Government.
Our latest adyices from Panama contain the
remarkable statement that The question OF The
annexation of Central America to the Mexican
Empire il beng discussed among the politicians
of the former cOUutry. II is added that there
