INTERESTING LETTER FROM THE ENTREES CHARLOTTE.


paris april 20 Correspondence of London Telegraph
III. Gutierrez de Estrada well known Mexican
resident In Paris mas received the following letter
from the Empress of Mexico:
lty Dear Si,'-You will pardon me for not hay
ing before answered your letter. one of the first
that received since my great loss. My heart has
not the less appreciated the affection and the sym
patty OF yours. In such circumstances, the words
of true friends go to the heart The reason WHY
have not been able to write to you sooner is the
great number of letters of coincidence which
reached me all at once, and the impossbility for
me up to the present time to reply to the greater
number of them; but give yon the preference
AT the hacienda property of Temisce have
often talked of you with your nephew b in
the midst OF the mangos and orange trees, and he
promised me to use every exerton to induce you
toreturn to Mexico. Would to God that you could
see good work before you saying, like Simeon
" Lord, now lettest Thou thy servant depart in
peace"
Would not something be wanting to the young
Empire if you should not see it with your own ewes
after bearing it so long in your mind You enjoy
good health and have the vigOr Of a Campechan.
De not tempt Providence by prolonged absence
but return to the soil which gave you birth. You
VIII learn with pleasure the proof of affection
which have been so abundanty lavished on me on
the occasion of the loss of my great and much
loved father, whose name was cherished in Yucca
tam in villages where Spanish is hardly spoken,
by populations who do not know even the name
of the country over which he reigned. Since my
loss, my chief care has been to occupy myself
with my dear Yueatan peninsula. | have Just
sent, for the first time, some Sisters of Charity
into that province the local wants of which have
excited the generous attention of the Emperor
and of the worthy Imperial Commissioner, NJ
Salazar Garequi, This solieitude has been such
that native don said to me yesterday that the
Inhabitants Of that cOunTy had obtained more
than they had dared to hope.
We have just made acquaintance with the most
charming spot in the country, so iudiciously Sc
ected by Fernando Cortez for his residence; in
other terms we have passed some days of the
winter at Cuernayaca. ] have also visited the
beautiful grOtto of Cacahuanlilpa one of the mar
vels of this continent, and have subscribed my name
further in than COmonfort and many Others have
done, not wishing that the empire should remain
behind in that respect more than in others. The
village of Caaan del Rio, on the way to the
grotto, and that of Apatazino, near Cuernavaca
are Che finest sites have ever seen. They quite
come up to the idea Of a terrestrial paradise On
the estate Of General Quiiano (Cocohatta) / found
q Yegetatlon quite tabulous-palm and cocoa trees
Of an immense height. have seen, with much
interest, on several estates all the operations of
sugar making.
The cane here is infinitely superior to that OF
Cuba just as the cotton of Gueatan is of better
quality than that of Texas a superiority which is
found ia great number of the productions of
Mexico when compared with those Of other coun-
tries. am especially occupied with the reorgan-
izatIon OF the various charitable establishments,
and have just received very satisfactory sug
geston for the regulation of the asylum for the
poor in this capital. l hope this plan may be sue
cesslG IN withdrawing that institution from the
state of disqualification into whiohit has fallen Of
late years. Some projects and imperial commits
sioners are secQnding me in the departments, and
among others those of Gnadalajara and Vera Cruz,
cities which have always been the cradle of Next
can activity. send you the emperor's remem-
brance, and am, yours very attectionatey
