PRINCE ALB ERT, ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. MEXICO, The condition of this unhappy coun- try, at the present time, is one which is little understood, yet offers a useful fund of information to the observer, and a curious field to the political economist. , Mexican bonds are al. most a synonyme with punica fides, and inasmuch as British subjects are the largest holders, and this Mexican question bids fair to rival that of the American War in magnitude, it may be well to devote a little space this week to a description of the ill-fated confederation, and the salient points in the financial aspect of the question. Los Estados Unidos Mejicanos are bounded East by the Gulf of Mexico and Texas; West by the Pacific Ocean ; North by the United States Territory ; and South by Guatemala. It stretches 1,876 miles in length, and when Texas was a portion of it, the greatest breadth was 364 leagues. In the region North of the 28th parallel, there are but few whites, and the region on the+Atlantic sea coast is quite subject'to yellow fever; but the immense chain of mourtains extend. ing through the central part of the country, North and South, creates a singular anomolie, as the towns on the central platian have three cli- mates, which are called the tierra tem- plada, the tierra caliente, and the tierra rio; that is, the temperate, the warm, and the cold. In fact, at the highest point, these mountains rise to 7,000 {feet ubove the level of the sea. Going forth, some plessant morning, from the city of La Puebla de los Angelos, you can see at the foot of the moun. tain the orange and the lime ; a little higher up the vegetation of temperate climates; and at the summit ice and snow in the warmest seasons. This difference in climate gives Mexico a marvellous variety of products, and doubtless has much to do with the wonderful aspect of the sccial estate, as well as the excessively heteroge. neous character of the population, in which the blood of Castile, and of England, France and Germany is mongrelised by the Indian and te African. Cortez first discovered' Mexico in 1519, and founded the city of Vera Cruz. The country was pagan, and governed by the last of the Monteza. mas, and many monuments of this Aztec and Toltec civilization still ex. ist, which conclusively prove that the people had written laws, had learned to acquire and respect the rights of property, and made considerable pro- gress in the mechanical arts. Although Cortez besciged: the City of Mexico, it was not till 1512 that Montezuma diced, and the Spanish flag | waved over the capital. --Undee-&pain Mexico. was.one of {sur great Viceroyalties--the Viceroy pos- sessing an almost absolute power, there being no appeal from his deci. sions, however unjust, although the Spanish King had the power to recall him, and the Cortes to summon him to the audencia. Dissatisfaction arose among the peo- ple, the masses being jealous of the Spaniards, in whom all power was concentrated, and to whom all civil honors were awarded, and in 1810, excited by the example of the Ameri- can Union, insurrection bruke out, but was temporarily crushed. "ln 1820, Apodaca, the Viceroy, re. fused to acknowledge the Cortes, or representatives of the people, and Iturbide, a general of talent, was em- ployed by the Spanish Crowa to re. duce Guerrero ; but, instead of* doing 80, he proclaimed in favor of the ro- volutionists, and in 1821, February 24th, he declared Mexico one among the powers of the earth. But republican institutions failed utterly among a mongrel people, where not one man in ten could read or write, and in 1830 civil war broke out. 'Since that {ime the government has been a synonyme for Chaos. Suc- Zephyr Flowers: Mrs. James Holden, . cessive administrations have con. 76.cents.! tracted new engagements and repu. diated old ones, until to.day, with 'natural resources second to no country upon earth, Mexico presents u spec. tacle of national degradation unknown in modern history. Her silver mines are idle; her commerce trivial, and able to be Europe's creditor by nature bad government has reduced hero) pitiable bankruptey. The Mexican Confederation con- tains some highly intelligent gentle. men, and families whose blood-<is free from intermarriage with the red or black races ; but the rivalry of the military and political leaders; the cabals of the ehnrch,and the ignorance of the pedple has gradually created a state of things that the civilized world cannot tolerate forever. The life of the foreigner is in jeopardy from a party that cries for his banishment, and the liberal party are powerless to protect persons or property in the in- teriot--so that many British residents have fled to the Capital Mexico, in terror. The Mexican people are lively, po- lite, and fond of dancing and gam. bling. The state of morals prevailing there is excessively lax, and robbery has been reduced to a science, and the exploits of some of these brigands would rival the wonderful things re. counted of a Claude Duval or a Gen. tleman Jack. The Mexican ladies are generally sprightly and often beautiful, many ofthem, especially in the cities on the Pacific, possessing blue eyes and rather light brown hair, though the black eye and the raven tresses are more generally met. The complexion isa very light olive, and quite difierent from that of the Bra- zilian or the Jupanese. The problem of Mexico, then, is simply this: Given fourteen millions of peuple, a diversified soil and cli. mate, and a disordered civilization.-- Wanted a stable government, which, putting a check upon revolution, may protect industry and property, and cause the springs of society to regain their elastic vigor. Any power that shall do this, and secure the unfortu. nate creditors who have louned many millions of pounds sterling, will be gratefully welcomed, not only by the better classes in Mexico, but by the oppressed: people, and by the entire | civilized world, weary with reading! of Mexican wrangles. i ---------------------- A WORD T0 PARENTS, We think it would Fv a benefit to the rising generation if their parents would keep a « little better'" guard over them, and not allow them to be bawling through the streets after night, disturbing public meet- ings, &c.

LoutsviLLe, Nov, 8.--The Democrat's Bowling Green correspondent this morning, writes that an escaped prisoner, who left Murfreesboro' on Wed , reports that Gens. Polk and Breckenridge, with 25,000 men and considerable artillery, attacked the south side of Nashville on Friday morn- ng, while the guerilla, John Morgan, on the north side, with 3,000 men, attempted to destroy the thridge there, but was re- pulsed. The result of General Polk's at- tack was iot known. St. Pavt, Minnesota, Nov: 8,.--Over 300 Indians have been convicted by the Mili- tary Commission, at the Lower Sioux Agen- cy, as participators in the late horrible mas- sacrea,and condemned te bp hung. Whether they live or die rests with the authorities at Washington. The people of Minnesota, to a man, are 1n favor of their immediate exe- cation, Puirapetpiia, Nov, 9.--The removal of Gen. McClellan has caused great excite- ment thfoughout the city, and is the uni- versal topic of conversation. Among the rumors as to the cause, it is said that some instructions from the General-in-chief were not followed, and that the escape of Lee fol- lowed as a consequence. Forney's Press, in speaking of the re- moval, says it was purely a military act, and was the result of a military consultation and decision. Although recommended to the President, and approved by him some time ago, it was only finally resolved npon after a change became inevitable. No act of the President's Administration, we might «ay no executive act since the beginning of the Government, has been the subject of more full deliberation. St. Louis, Nov. 7.--The steamer «J. H. Dickey" exploded one of her builers about one o'clock yesterday morning, when ten miles above St. Genevieve, killing several and injuring others of her passengers and crew. The explosion was caused by the boat striking violently against the Illinois shore, dignrranging the boiler. Some maintain that the boiler was old and de- fective, Other horrors were added to the calamities by fire breaking ont in the state- rooms, and through the floor above the boil- er communicated from the furnace, which after long and earnest exertione, was con- quered. The pilot states that the cause of the boat going ashore was a signal to back water being misunderstood for one to go ahead. Among the killed is Lieut. F. Dodge, 6th U. §. cavalry, of Philadelphia. Henry Wallen, clerk of the boat, was dan- gerously scalded. Several persons are known to have beep blown overboard, and others jumped into fo ie. Heanquarters Army oF THE Potomac. Rectort wn, Va., Nov. 6.--As the particu- lars of the fight yesterday at Barbus become known, the more brilliant the victory ie found *o have been. The battle was fought by cavalry alone, and between the best dis- ciplined troops either army could produce. The rebels were under the command of Stuart, and the Federals under Pleasanton. The final result shows that the rebels left 36 dead on the field, and their wounded must have been numerous. Our loss was five killed and ten wounded. Gen. Pleasanton to-day reports that Stone- wall Jackson occupies Chester Gap, with his command. The town of Warrenton was ocenpied by our troops at three o'clock this afternoon, taking five prisoners belonging to the 3rd Virginia cavalry and two infantry soldiers, who stated that their regiments had gone up the valley. Gen. Bayard had a slight skirmish to-day on the Waterloo road, killing one man, wounding two, and taking 10 prisoners, without any loss on his part.

McClellan was urged to give me information of his intend- reinforcements could be sent from this pldce. On the 14th of Oct., finding that he purpos- ed to operate from Harper's Ferry, I niged him to cross the niver at once and give battle to the enemy, pointing out to hith the disadvantages of delaying all the antnmn. Rain had ewollen the Potomae and im- paired the roads. On the 6th October he was peremptorily ordered to cross the Poto- mac and give battle to the enemy or drive him South. I said to him--¢ Your ariny must move now while the roads are in good condition." It will be observed that three weeks have elapsed since that order was given. Fourth,--In my opinion thore lus been no such want of supplies in the anny under Gen. McCle'lin as to prevent Lis compliance with my orders to advance upon the enemy. South side of the Potomac, he could have received his supplies almost as readily as by remaining inactive on the north side. Wasuinetoy, Nov. 10.-- It 18 ascertained that the assignment of Gen. Burnside to the command of the army of the Potomac is without limitation, hence the reports that any General will take the position so re- cently held by Gen. McClellan are not well founded. This is at least the present state of affairs. There is nothing in the latest foreign in- telligence to lead to an apprehension of trouble between the Unned States and for- eign powers in connexion with American affairs, unless it be from the pesistent course of English merchants and speculators in fitting out privateers to prey upon American commerce. Fort Mi Nov. 9.--Richmq d paper+ of Sunday say that the Abolitionists marched in force from Washington, N. C., 10 a point on the Roanoke River, below Weldon, to cut off the rebel troops. The Abolitionists were kept at bay while the Confederates fell back to Spring Green, below Wilhams- ton, with the loss of two killed and 31 wounded. The Federal loss was very heavy, including one entire cavalry com- pany cut up and destroyed. MosiLe, Nov. 6. --Advices from Holly Springs state that the enemy has advanced in force to Lagrange, Tenn., and is ad- vancing on this place. Col. Jackson's cavalry has had a skir- mish at Lamar. Crarveston, Nov. 6.--Gen Beauregard has ordered non-combatants to leave Chars leston with their moveable property. He has ordered all the slaves to be removed. This 1s done in order to avoid embariass- ments and delay in case a sudden necessity should arise for the removal of the entue population. Wastingron, Nov. 10.--General Hooker has been assigned to the command of the army corps heretofore commanded by Gen. Fitz John Porter, who has been ordered to Washington to stand his trial upon the charges preferred against him by Gen. Pope for misconduct at the battle of Bull Run.
