Charles de Barres the talented editor Of LEsatetethe
Principal French paper here-referng TO the arrival OF
cultural purposes said Of tho late rebellion and its
possible consequences
'The American conflict has caused the abdication Of
great industrial dictator There King Cotton has been
deprived Of his scepre and spindes Let the royal i'm
migrant have all the room he wants In Mexico; give him
all the lands and the hands that his service requires Is
there anywhere country admirably adapted than
Mexico to the development Of that culture which has
been, and be- the greatest agricultural power
the globeS That empire can be established both
coasts Of Mexico and radate thence 10 all the markets or
the world But In order that King Cotton may enecvey
establish himself here he must have intelligent and ex
perenced farmers, whom obstacle can daunt or DIS
hearten aud these people at your doors Let them
enter, without impedment delay and with no inter-
's another product is declining in the United States
where the supply cannot meet the demand and con-
SUMPTION and which s therefore, constantly increasing
in price, and that is tobacco Mexico has four Provinces
which in this branch of culture might become formid
able rivals Of the island Of Cuba But Of what avail can
these rich lands be to the country II they remain
depopuated and barrons Give the planters then free
entrance; they come Ia SOW riches at your doors
The approach Of any great and imminent change can
be made favorable or disastrous according as 10 pre-
pared for in time or unseasonaby. To explan-the in
evitabe effect Of revolutions which displace power
riches and social institutions is to dspace also, populs

These will be pacific and SsefS the Wa waves sou, 81 nr

welcoming industrious and peaceful immtgra-
tion current may be directed through Mexico which
would ertize IT, like the genial and ructifying overflow
Of the Nile To turn that current away from the soil OF
the empire would be to expose ourselves eventually 70
hostile and tumultuous invasious 1t s then important
that the occasion that now presents should not be
other localities thence TO overflow upon Mexico bearing
trouble and disaster in its path Welcome and regulate
1t, and will trace out for the men Of the North the

impel them towards Mexico"
De Barres may be excused for his mistake in mpposng
that King Cotton had emgrated from the North to Mex
leo but the philosophical vev he takes Of the value OF
the cotton culture in Mexico is none the less true No
country on this continent exces Mexico as grand field
for the growth Of cotton. Labor genial climate the
proper quality OF soil means Of transportation and every
thing requisite to success are here.

presses are worked by hand, and the presswork and

respect as in the United States during the late war,
where necessary restrictions upon unbrided and malg
