emigrant- Of the world
The doors of the empire are wide open,
and his Majesty the Emperor has, IN a
most liberal decree, invited immigration
from al quarters, sGd without distinction

Many people, both in the Old World
and the New. having heard of this inyi-
tation. wish 30 change their skies and TO
avail themselves of it, privilege. Gen
1lemeu representing several thousand
families in Europe, and hundreds in Ten
nessse, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, the
Car0lin8s, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, in the United States, are now
anxiously seeking information in regard
ne country, its condition aud re-
50. cts. with the view Of making it their
home.
C0nsiieringtEat almost the only source +
Of information open 10 them upon this
subject j. 70 be found in Anonymous con-
triuutious made for the most part o
press 10y no means friendly 20 Mexico,

rion Of an those. whatever be their n2-
tfoualitv. who desire 10 renounce it and
come 10 Mexico, with the intention, in
4 - rr..s -ar1r~ hon
0f planting their pOsterity here, that they
would do well to come; for II is @ land
more blessed by nature in It's soil and
climate than any part OF the United
States, that great center at present OF
human migration.
The Wealth offhe Soil.
The earth here yields to the care 81
with q proiusion that would
seem incredible there and fabulous IA
Europe. In some places it crowns the
labor Of the husbandm8u regularly with
two and I'm others with three hErvests
annually; and in each one he gathers
one hundred, two hundred, sometimes
three hundred, and occasionally four
hundred fold, and even more, according
70 his own skill and the kind Of seed
used.
Cotton and corn DO well I'm almost al
especially Of Tanaulipas, MataAuala,
FresuiIl6, Durango. Nazatlan aud the
States north are said u be Of better
sample, save Sea Island, than any pro
duced in the United States. Indeed,
the cotton OF Guc5tau Is called Sea
Island.
Under these fine climates, which give
purity and Transparency TO the aimos-
phere that make existence itself su en-
51ymeut and invest the eye with the
faculties Of almost a new sense the yege-
table kingdom displays its wealth and
IT, powers most gorgeously, and with
the most marvellous viEOr and concentra-
tion.
IN chosen spots and upon a single
hacienda may be seen crowded together,
piled up in steppes one above another, ~
perfection, fruits, flowers, and prodaets,
which iD less favored climes require as
many iatiuIdes climates and soils as
can be found i'm the entire breadth Of
plain that lies between the sources OF
the Mississippi and the mouths OF the
Amazon.
Here, besides cotton and corn, the
olive and the vine, We have the finest Of
wheat, with pulse ans all the cereals in (
great perfection; also tobacco, coffee, (
sugar cane the cocoa plant, rice. indigo, I
cochlAtal, pemiento, india rubber and I

ters from Missouri, Teuues-ee and the
south. and I have g0uver-sd with
leaned men from France and other Daris
Of Europe, al Of whom happen 10 have
Travelled through the northern and most
healthy parts Of Mexico. The EuroDeans
report. on the one hand, an agricultural
country superior TO tie best parts of
France and Italy, and also Of surprising
mineral wealth; while the Americans,
)g the other, pronounce IL q grazing and
cattle country, 20 which even the blue
grass regions Of Kentucky and Tennessee
are not TO be compared.
The mountains abound with minerals,
tie woods with game and heforests Win

gtii.ita dye and ornamental woods, gums
and spices, drugs and medicinal plants
Of rare virtues.
Settlements CamfempIsfea.
