FloiSsSloui as we'll W fEesluenL JhuTtE,
Isald to the President and the ministers
that was glad to know them, not only
in their official capacity, but as members
OF the same profession. They said Ger.
tSlnly, that there was always feeling
OF sympathy in our profession. We had
many and strong letters OF introduction
to the President and members of the
cabinet, and have been treated kindly bv
al. So far we have had a pleasant
time. We will have to remain here
until the cities OF Mexico and Queretero
are taken, and then move on with the
President to the city OF Mexico. think
II will be within two weeks.
San Luis ,Potosi is surrounded by
large valley, which has a fertile soil.
There is not as much life here at present
As at Zacaticas. The elevation of this
city is about seven thousand feet, per-
baps little more, above the level of the
sea. There are some fine public gardens
tere-as is the case in all Spanish cities.
Merchandise comes in by the port OF
1ampico and also of Matamoras.
As soon as Juarez gets to the city of
hexico, and Mexican Congress elect.
Cd, our Government will make that
Government pay its debts; and it can
only do so by obtaining the money from
the United States. And further, the
oily mode Mexico will have to pay the
United States for the money, will be by
ceiling territory, which will include
Lswer California, Sonora, and part OF
chihuahua. 1t would not surprise me il
th Mexican Congress should refuse to
cete the territory, and the consequences
will be that the United States will de-
clare war against Mexico and take the
territory, think an right in my con-
clesion. l, with many others, have been
wstching the affairs Of this Government
with view OF making something, if a
purchase OF territory shall be made.
Whether we shall succeed remains to be
seen. On yesterday bearer of dis
patches arrived from New Orleans, with
dispatches from Mr.. Campbell, United
States Minister, who is now at that
place. talked with the bearer, but he
cid not know much about the contents
o. his package. But 1 judge it is
nothing more than this, that the minister
is ANXIOUS to know, officially, what the
political condition Of this country is at
present, and what the Liberal party have
done an, where headquarters are. The
bearer sid to me that he supposed that
Mr.. Campbell would come here on his,
the bearre's return to New Orleans.
Orders. we're issued several days ago
by the President, to attack the city of
Queretero, on Saturday last, day before
yesterday Ar yet have heard no news
from thee. Last night l asked the
Presidents son and an officer of his es-
cort, if any news had arrived from the
seat OF var, and they said no Some
thing may come to-day. If it is taken
soon, and the city OF Mexico, also, the
Presiden and Cabinet will move imme-
diately o.. shall endeavor to go with
them, and be under the protection of
their escort
The President has received official in
formation of the discovery of gold in
large quantities, in the State Of Chihua-
hua, from the Governor Of the State.
There is aome excitement in this county
upon the matter. You, perhaps, have
heard ere this, by telegraph from Cali.
fornia, of the same fact.
The city of Mexico is four days ride
from her in the stage-350 miles or
more. Qleretero is about half way, and
contains Macmillan with an estimated
force of 5000 or 10000 men. The Liberal
party, artund on both sides, have about
$4,000 mn. The officers Of Macmillan
are the alter tacticans. 1t is thought
by some, shat the allowance of provis-
ions inside for Max, is rather short
and otheis say he has enough to last
several weeks. 1t is IL O'Clock, p. M
Good bye. FREDERIC HALL.
