Mexteo cannot be said to be a city in which mach pevelty 's to be found every day, by the inhabitants. &s for strangers, they #on give up paying attention fo the gossip and small talk, and take to studying antiquities for excitement. There is something, however, in the climate of this region that contents everybody, as it ie neither too hot nor too old, bat 2 aera the thermometerat 70° Farenheit. If fheretore, these good people have not your daily @icrmg news, they have neither your stirring dust, and dry, hot, scorching pavements and streets. Biexico is an earthly paradise in summer, where you ean bave all the “ summer luxury of fruits” without any of its inconveniences. Fans and cloaks are in com- ‘Boon wee at a!) seasons, but only for orvaments; even Ses are rare, and mosquitoes usknown io the city. | Being thus favorably situated, the good people are @vntented with their climate, and try to make them- selves contented with their lot. B, however, the country is beautifal and the cli- ‘Mate at aj) times delizht‘ul, the government endea- vers to eouvince the people that every situation in ‘Me bes its defects, aud that theirs is not without its ley. Here it may be said “ that all save the spirit @ wan & divine.” The ralers bave not been en- @ewed with angelic minds or attalaments, unless it Bs that of fallen angels. Government here isthe geet curee of the country. There is no legislation fiw the public good; and whoever would avow hia- @elf te be actuated by patriotic motives, would be Tagbea at. Dr. Johnson’s definition of patriotism weuld suit this country—“ The last resource of a seeundrel.”” But no one here pretends to the ap- pallation. It would be jmpoxsible to say what kind ef government prevails here at present. There is no ewartitutional existence of any departments of the executive. There is no legtslature, and the jadi- @iary must have a hard time of it, for there are 50 msny laws founded on a constitution which is abo- Baked, and decrees fulminated without reference to | fermer legislation on the same subject, that the best | ewyer in the world could not reconcile them in the stady ef a century. General Santa Anna is the head of the govern- | am, and calls himself President of the Republic: ‘We wadzht as well call himself by any other title. He @zmpbines in his own person all the executive and Dagislative power, and occasionally issues decrees | which would be called elrewhere judicial legislation, | win ad terms, decides questions that heretofore | Bese belonged exclusively to the courts. His idea @f government is to rule by. decrees, issued to meet | ‘@yery emergency that may arise, which are about as ‘@Heacious as every other universal panacea. The amavtro of the repuolic is, “ Liberty, Sovereignty, and Ipiependence;” but I cannot imagine where they ‘qar at present be found outside of the person of the | Presicent. He has at this time an absolute control | wgver the lives, liberties, and fortunes of ali citizens, ee rather evbjects, of this nation. Yet they talk Shout annexation to the United States in some of ‘Ge goverumert papers with horror, as if their doom be sealed, in such an event, when su! to | he tortures of the habeas corpus act, trial by jury, of the press, freedom of speech, immunity ‘Yoom searches, toleration of religion, and other curses | ‘whieb a rabid red republican democracy has saddled | ry the benighted regions of the ‘‘ Republic of the | must be acknowledged, however, that Ge- Banta Anna does not trouble himself | mech about the people, or their interests, and ree that militates against’ her convenience. His ministers, also, are carefal met to do much which wi'!l make them unpopalar, for they bear constantly in mind that “ a better day’s »” when they might have to anawer for deeds im this time, and when they migh: find that | Jordan is a hard road to travel’” with a large load wf edium on their backs. No one duubts that a e of government will take place, and the only | is as to the time when. Bavta Anna takes things , and throws ait the labor and responsibility on his ministers. Toese unhappy bashaws have a hard time of it. They have ean their master; they have te pleaxe the public; and they have to please themselves, which, after all, ia riggs sees to ac- somelish. They are responsible t an army i id; that taxes should | be rmpored and collectei, and debts liquidated for whieh there are no funds, nor sources from whence | fbey ean be obtained. Upon the whole, it is a very | fanny government—-more to laugh at than weep | = to amure than incense any barefooted | her. In such a state of things, it may be curious to Iknow what oleae are discussed, and what favorite | Mheories prevail. There ere several parties at this | moment. each riding its favorite hobby. Firet comes | ‘she Santa Anna party, consisting of that individual aud a few others, who are decidedly for their own | dyterest, without caring under what form or shape. | ext, the monarchists, who hold all the offices of | B ate, and wich a foreign prince to come aad rule over them, to make them happy and noble.

Bat this Jast party, although very numerous, @o not proclaim their principles from the house tops, for a decree of death has gone forth, oy military law, | against him who advocates this pernicious putitical | bereey. To avoid the decree, the question has been | sbsnged, and now an American protectorate seems | ‘to be the favorite theory of the party.

On the whole, the opinion of the masa of the people g®awnot be mistaken. They are republicans; they are democrate; they hate kings and monarchists, aad ‘expecially Syaniards.

There is no doubt this is the’ plan ef Banta Anna, bat it comes recommended to himself by his Minister, xa though submitted for the President's consideration. Ever sinee Santa Anna’s return, he haa had his eye on the | ehureb property “to make a raise.” He has been mort particuler in flattering that body of pious couls.

He does not wish to offend bis patrons; but he has come ont at last ageiret this project, much to the annoyance, bo doubt, of Senta Anna. This paper opposes the measure op various grounds; in the first place be- cance it is not jst, and in the second not practicable, and in the third becaure it is not necessary—that the plan is founded in the consent of the clerzy, which they canuot give. ‘the editor thinks that a moe simple way would be for the government to treat with the creditors without the intervention of the chnreh, and to give the creditors a mortgage on the tax mentioned, sas to secure the paymeot ef the bonds. On the whole, this will net be carried out, and the discredit will fall on the Minis ter. even if Santa Anna has to ae. to place it on his back. This is always the way with the dent, to make cat's paws, as he never backs his friends in a difficulty, The Minister estimates the annnal receipts at 12,000,000, and the expenses at theramesum. The xpenres of the War Department are set down at ae 000 monthly. Now, when we remember that Arista’ time the expenses were thirteen millions, with only three thousand roldiers to pay, it is impos- sible to make the two euds meet at this time, with a large standing army, extravagance in every de ment, aud pensions innumerabe. A decree has en iesued to increase the army to 91,000 men; and how are Lest ted be paid? The oe of the Spanish protectorate in Mexico is very ly discussed here. An opposition paper the organ of government has taken uo the subject foie a seriousness, great duiness, and at great The Americans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Gen. Gadsden, the new Minister of the United States. He no doubt will come prepared to a settlement of the Mesilla boundary and the eleventh article of the treaty. Many doubt the adjustmeut of these questions, from the tone of public sentiment at time in this country. Santa Anna has always declared himself hostile to any aliena- tion of territory, and doubly hostile to Ameri can usurpation. He has fully committed himself on the subject, by stigmatizing all as traitors who have sanctioned any division of territory. At the same time, the opposition are desirous of getting up acry inst Santa Anna; and, believing that he will be bought off by the United States, they have raised a clamor against any compromise, s0 as to Provounce against him as soon as he makes ih eer gain. On the eleventh article Santa Anna will listen to reason, provided the arguments are weighty. So say the best informed. Santa Anna has no love for the Americans. He does not wish to see them in the Mesilla valley, nor on the Isthmus of Tehuante ec. The only project of American enterprise which e favors is the new mail route to California by the way of Vera Cruz and Acapulco. This has im- pressed him favorably; and the Vice President of that company, Mr. Ramsey, having represented to the Exccutive that the Jocal authorities were giving hiin trouble by preventing the mails passing through their cities at night, by detaining employes until they examine their passports, &c., the President caused a general order to be issued to the Governors of the States on the route, in which he expressed his opinion very favorably. This order, after stating the importance of the lines of steamers between New Or- leaus and Vera Cruz, and between Acapulco and San Francisco, which the Mexican Ocean Mail and Inlend Company have procured to be established, proceeds as follows :— | 4s Senor Ramsey. to eflect this objeet, has also greatly improved the mail factilties between Vern Cruz and Aca: puleo. His Exeeliency the Pre: ident has inetracted meto | ree:mwend to you, which I now do. that you prevent any | obsiacle betas placed in the way of the establishment of | bis posts. and. moreover, to take care that he may ob tein the things requisite to organize this !mportant ser- Department, General | Anaya, has also complimented, in a public letter, this | company on their enterprise, and anticipates the | most favorable results from its establishment. As it will, however, take two or three weeks to promul- gate these orders, it has been feared that the first | successful trip for these mails between Vera Cruz | and Acapulco will not be made in the time estao- | listed before the month of September. The time | fixed is three days from port to port; but theem- | F: joyes say they can drive it in a lesa number of hours, | Feaging from ‘the trials already made with the ani- | mala now covering the route.

YNE TRUS QUBETION OF THE PROTROTORATS. ‘We trauglate the fellowing suggestive article from the Universal, the offilel) organ of the Mexican government, of July 18, 1869 :— From the important:and incieputable evidence whieh we bave presented to our resders in our for Ber articles, the fact a established in the clearest manner, that there is in the United States an implacnble spirit of hostility to us, aed a desire, always increaring, to despoil us of our territory. And this Fpirit and this desire are not only in teories, but they have reduced them to pravtive, bringing on two ware, which bave wasted our resources 4) imia- ished by ove balf the rich patrimovy left us by oar forefathers, and now threatening us with a third. From the indisputable fact of this hostilit and this spirit of conquest, on the part of the nived Siater, there resulta the no less undeniable fact of the necessity of resistance on the purt of Mexico. None bat 9 traitor can deny this necessity, or oppose himself to it. : 2 ‘The question, then, is, How can we satisfy this un- avoidable necessity? Is Mexico prepared t resist with suecess another invasion from the United States? We believe firmly that, with two or three years of ace and good government, Mexice could sustain a efensive war with avy pution, not only with fair prospects, but with the absolute certainty of a favor: able issue. But under present circamstances, all the resources of the couutry having been destroyed, not ovly by the former war, but b; annibi tory operation of the federal iustimtions, and some administrations like the two last, which have unfortunately befallen the country—the political aud adminis ve machinery being disorganized, not having a veteran aud disciplined army—the reenlt of a contest would be lees certain of @ favorable result, if MavarsOnase)y it should now take place. And who ean assure us that this collision can for any length of time he avoided? It is evident that we are not going to provoke it. But the tone at this time of the Ameri- cali press, eanecthny the official, and moreover the xttitade which the American executive haa taken in the question of the Mesilla, clearly manifest thet they do not entertain. intentions equally pacific, and we must be prepared for any contingency, Is not an expedition announced to Senora, which soon to start from California, in the view, in the knowledge and conn. tenance, of the American aathorities? Have we not teen our territory of Mesilla invaded by an armed foree, by American authority? Has not the execu tive at Washington ordered General Garland to ad- vance uygn the frontier of Chihuahua with two thou- send me If, then. there is any hope, it is that the voice of reason will be beard; that diplomacy may dissipate the scourge which now menaces us; that prudence, aleo, mey lend her counsels, and that pa- jotisem demands that the vation be prepared for the last resort, which will not be the time it has been presented. And if, unfortunately, this event is prceented the government cught not nor could risk the success of the contest. It is requisite that Mexico triumph, for a defeat at this time would be her complete and final ruin. However, if in the present state of the nation, sucress cannot be made certain, how eught we to supply thedefect? There is only one le of doing it—a mode indicated by history in all times and in all countries. This mode is an alliance. Tn fact, profiting by history, it is enough to know that in all times feeble nations have d their independence against the strong, especially when neighbors. This is a fact so well known and so fre- quent, that to cite instances would bean idle and roperfinons parade of the commonest knowledge of pry. But an alliance is impossible if there is not @ commurity of interests between the two nations that form it. France, for example, is Tad interested in the independence of Belgium. Therefore, an between alliance there two nations, having for its object this inde- pendence, is well understood. It is a nataral alli- ance, and to the same extent reasonable. It is to Spain of very little or no interest whether Belgiam is independent. Therefore, an alliance between her and Bel , which bad for its object Belgian inde- ndence, would be an incomprehensible alliance, ig van fs advantage to one of the parties—an al- liance without any true object for Spain, since, for na- tions, there are no true objects except their interesta, Therefore, it would be an impeesible alliance; and if Belgium were to propose, she would have to suifer a merited refusal. Moreover, if we admit the neces- sity of an alliance to secure, in a certain way, the salvation of our national existence in case of another war with the United States, we ask to what nation could we present ourselves with the greatest probability of success? In other words, what nation in Europe bas as positive interest in the coneervation of our neutrality The other day we said, and now repeat it, that to form an alliance having for its object the defence of our nationslity against the attacks of the Republic of the North, Mexico could only turn to three powers— England, France and Spain. The other nations of Kurope could not e interested in American questions. Wonld England eutertain favorably a popanes of this kind ? Would France? As this i8 a qnestion we have discussed with the Sighs, we call upon that paper to give us an answer. In the ales of that journal, two days ago, the following is Fald ;— Foglard will not. on any account, interrupt her ami cable relations with the United States; and France, #ith her demeetic troubles, could exert buts smali influence on this side of ‘he ocean. And further on, adds :— Since 1846, many quevtions have aricen between the United States and their mother country; but itis to be obrerved that it never bas been dorired to bring them to extier ities, This is to be noticed in many differences, from 1846 to the Jost, revpecting the Giaveries. I: ia pre- per alro to note that Exg'and and Francs recogvized the inde pexder ce of Texas, ard it Spuim did not, it was be- cacee if she bed dove ro, ehe would have destreyed oritain agreements mede with Mexico, not graciously, 4 for Englard, she professes the principle that ever; uation way govern as it ceems proper, and surely wi ret intervene to sustain in Ameries this or that political riem. Nor do we believe she will quarrel with the pied States while sbe draws from that country the eke afterwards, referring to France, the Siglo 8 Le sunk the revolutionary monarchy of July, sholish- ed the republic, to present the dictatorship, and finally rpire was produced. Bat til this time, in spite of ch politica have not changed towards (reat ard the United States. But as disagroesble as tir ia to the English goverament, the a:tention of the world bus been oalled to the perfect understanding of the views which bave governed the two nations ia ths reat Frropeas questions, In that of the fisheries we ave roen Francs acting as wediator, as if Napoleon IIT. | cotton wanted for her factories. followed the mayirations of Lou's Philippe. Bat in France | it in requirite to lock at her interior condition, and to this day the threne of the prisoner of Ham (whore efforts to stifis par lismrntiem have been in vain) not som ed to be very stable, England cr Frarce therefore cannot be relied on, for these reasons. Such ax the Siglo, with its usual superficial view, has met with. Others, if required, coula be added, of still greater weight. ym8e- quentiy, however ill the Sig/o may think of it, there | isin Burope no nstion we could rely upon to form this alliance, 6@ essential to save our national existence in another war with the republic of the North, This is evident; even the Siglo has proved it. If neither Frence nor England has in Mexico a suffi- cient interest to check a war with the United States, | to tave cur national independence, it is otherwise with Spein. This nation iteelf has the terest in preserving our independence, an teat in- ctully The ra- acicus views of the Republic of the North upon tland of Cuba are well known, and it is the im putable Getermination alko of Spain to defend this valuable colony. For 8paia the preservation of the islond of Cuba against the United States is a ques- tion of interest and honor, and this is so clear and well known that it would be a waste of time and } space to demonstrate it. Now, what would be the Island of Coba ifonr country fell into the posession of the Repubi'c of the North’ Spain would fight with valor to dofend it. She would shed torrente of blood npon ita soll, Bat who could deubt the fina) result, placed, a3 Spain is, £0 Gistent from the sceue of astion? , got fore we have said oe o id now repeat it:—The i be for Spain the low ewiee, the loss of the and of Cuba would be the loss of independence for if any ane is so simple that he cannot percoive Uy thia combination so plein, for him we do not write, becanse he can comprehend nothing. If, then, this community of interest ia euch, and 90 strong, not only of interests but also of dangers, be- tween Mexico and Spvin, the advantage aa well fa the necessity of aa alliance between the two notions is taost evident and beyond ell doubt, Therefore, to procnre this alliance, wi'l not only be for ovr povernmen’ a wi-e measure, bot it jejone abso- ngely neccess in no way can be avoided. eine exentive f keo upon their shoulders the Snangense responsibility of eaving the independence of cuz county.

Jend mutual assistance to the coutracting parties; thereiore, if an alliance were formed between Spain and Mexico, both nations would be bound to mu- tually aint to the tenor ef the'r stipata- tions. Now, eould Spain assist Mexico? ‘The quee- tion thus put—which is the only way it oaght and can be put—we wil! see at once how futile are the sraungnts, aud how ahaa te she soadedoe of oe ‘or even Kuppowing that Spain is in as grea! aatline as the & glo asserts, how is it she has not the power to nid Mexico, at least as mach as Mexico could aid ber? eaney upon the same basis of itual assistance, and vot on any other, is it that an ‘ance would bave to be founded. Now, perhaps, to know to what point the assist- ance could be effectoa)l, which in such a case we would receive from Spain, and how farsach an al- lisnce would be advantageous to us, let us ask, is the mortal decay a fact, which the S’g/o attributes to her? Is Spain in truth so annthilated as to be far fro able to assist other nations, or scarcely to sus tain Lereelf? On a subject of so much importance, avd in which there is no more, in reality, than a westion of fact, wedo not admit we concur in the assertions of the Clamor Publico, of Madrid, an opposition paper, and which permits no opporta- nity to stigmatize and onderrate the prone, gevern- ment of Spuin. We want facts, and if the Siglo will not predoce them we will seek for them in contem- peraneous bistery. Well, this history informs ns that from the death of Ferdinand the Seventh, Spain hee doubled her revenues, and bas considerably increased ler army and navy. Thus history ioforms us that Spain hes sent very recently ber armies to Portagal and to Italy, aud armies, %.o, that excited the admiration of many military men of other nations, who had the opportunity to see and examine them. Thus history informs us, also, that Spain, in seuding these armier, had, moreover, no other views than to assist friendly sovereigns, paying all the expenses of these eden withont even leaving the rations to be paid, which her soldiers drew in the country occu- ped by them—condact that attracted more atten- ion, a8 Bpatn almost always has had to pay, and very dearly, too, to her has received. In 1848 we bave seen in Spain what never hes been exhibited in any other nation. We have seen her goveroment rudely send out of the kingdom an English minister under an escort of cavalry, and we have seen England suffer this severe and bumiliatiog lesson without daring to send her squadrons or her armies upon the coast of Spain to avenge the insult. All this is told in contemporaneous hi and cer tainly we do not seein it any proof of their debilityand impotence which the S:g/o 80 much harped on. As to the power of modern Spain, they entertain in general, or affect to have, the erroneous inions. The same exist with regard to the power the United States, and therefore it ie not out of place. to present some stat'stics taken from official jocument At the end of the year 1850 the Spantvh army conristed of— The staff of the 5 The corps of the Adjutant General. ‘The corps of tLe halbardiers.

Two brigades of artillery, one of eight batteries, two of them flying, and one other of two field batte- ries, each of them arith che: omshenyiob UpeIe —Foriwing a grand total of nearly two and twenty thousand men, without counting the corps of reserve of the civic guard and of the custom house carabineers in the Peninsula, nor the corps of the three arms existing in the islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phiilfpines. Let us now look at the forces of the United States at the same date:— One corps of engineers. Two regiments of dragoons. One regiment of mounted rifles. Four regiments of artilery. Eight regiments ef infantry. —Forming a total of ten thonsand three hundred and thirty-four men. There are all veteran troops. The militia is very numerous, but never has served nor will serve a wer of invesion. Not only is its or- ranizati-D ype’ to this, bu’ the constitution of wu ae | prohibits it. Let us see what were the naval forces of both nations at that same date. Thoee of Bpain were -— Three ships of the line. Five frigates. Bix corvettes. Fourteen sloops. ‘Three schooners. Twenty-six steamers. These ships were manned by 522 officers, 15,000 soldiers, and 9 628 ssilors, and mcunted 1,206 cannon. The American navy was composed of Eleven pi of the ine. Fourteen frigates. Twenty-one eloops, Four schooners. Fifteen steamers. Five store ships. Five bomb ketches. The force on these versels, being then a peace esta- blishment, was 7,500 men, which would be much to- crensed in the event of war. The ordnance consisted of 2,029 cannon. As will be perceived, the American navy is some- what superior, but not so much as is generally be- lieved; nor could it destroy the Spanish. Moreover, in case of war the American navy would have many more points to cover, and very difficult, upon any point, ever to concentrate a larger force than Spain. In the event of war, ss it would be impossible for the United States to dream of invading Spain, the scene of action would be our country or the island of Cuba, and the Spanish government could with much facility eend to our aid @ respectable army, without having the least necessity of increasing the present number of soidiers. Moreover, as the numerous and well disciplined army now under arms is perfectly equipped, armed and paid, the portion sent here would but «lightly increvee the present expenses. Permit us now to make a few observations upon the probable results of a war, if the United States dare to vwndertake it against both Mexico and Spain. in 1847 they found our country cut up into a thousand factions, for want of a sole, ener- getic and central government, and when the Ameri- cana had only te fight us in cetail, with an iusignifi- cant portion of the nation; bat they had, neverthe- less, to employ in the war more than one hvndred thonsanéd men, of whom nearly thirty thousand per- ished in the field and hospitals, and expended, more- over, the enormous aim of one bundred miilions of dollars, Yet weny times the result of the contest ‘war very uncertain, as wil! be perceived in recalling what passed in the campsign of the capital. If at the Jact moment our) army, formed of a sudden by Sr. Ranta Anna, and consequently Taw troops, (without resources, and almost aban- doned by the fatal federatioa,) still fought on with such intrepidity, disputing the ground inch by inch with the invaders, and frequently hurling them to destruction, what would have been the issue of the contest if anddenly an army of 10,000 Spanish vete- rans bad thrown their weight into the balance in our favor? Who can doubt what would have been the result? Certainly, the humiliating peace of Queretaro wonld never have been made, aad Texas and New Mexico, with thoir vast territory, and California with her placers of Bold, would yo! have formed part of the Mexican reyiblic; and, instead of the fad page now written in our history, we would have had aaother, radiaot with glory, which would have extorted not only the respect, bateven tie admiration of the world. Aud it such would have beea then the certala resvlt of the war, if we could haye connted on the eid of a Spanish army, what should it be now, counting, #8 we can,on aa energetic government, which las ite action uatrammelled and the power centralized in his hands, to direct overy- thing as he eave? ~=We do not hesitate to say Mexico would invulnerable, ond instead of anc- cumbing in the contest, she would recove: ber lustre, which adverse circumstances deprived her of in the laet war. if we bed to deal with other opponents of as had faith aa the Sig/o, what we have a'd would suflive to prove tt is all-powerfal to fulfil all the Ftipotations of tiiance which wonld require hor to aid us in a war wits the United States, Bat com- ve, if that wero possible, we will ¢nra is principyl sxgumenta, showing the utter helplessnesn of 6) To be convinces of thi es, for the services she the diplom question, a siay the advances of Rosia, appeal firet revber thon to tpaln.

Have the gentlemen by chance east a glance over the map of Europe? Have they perbaps forgotten the lessons of geography whic! they ought to have learned in school? Is it possible that they do not remember that Prussia nd Russia are adjolong vations, and cemmessanily the former has the greatest interest that the lutter does not in- crease her power, +o a8 to become irresistible, as would undoubtedly happen if she sezes on Turkey! And do they net rememoer that Spain ia separated from Tobey by Prussia, Austria, Holland, Switzer- Jond, Belgiim, Hanover, Bavaria, Wartemburg, Sardivia, and France, and perhaps other nations, which at this moment are not called to mind? How is it possible, then, that the geutlemen of the Sielo could doubt that Turkey, to defend herself from Russia, should call on before appealing to Spain? If the geographical po- phion of these two countries were inverted, if Spain were in the place of Prussia and Prossta in the place of Spain, the argument of the Siglo woald be of weight Butin the present weogrenhton} situation in which these nations are found, the argument of the Siglo does not ‘ndicate more than the most pro- found finorance in its editors. * * * * * * All along the Siglo has used another argument which our readers will permit us to upset, since in the present question we propose to leave nothiag penoing. the Siglo says :— To exe mine io the borum the power of Spain at pre sent, and the influence which she could exercise adr it te yequiatte to cater into sad considerations a4 to tho state of ber Gi tion, It «illanewer to ray that at the last dates. the Bparieh defored debt wax quite in London st WA}, par cent and the passive at b3y per sent, while the Mexiwan bonds paid 4734 per cont. Therefore, if the power of a nation is to be esti- mated by the rate at which her debt is quoted on the London exchange, by the argument of the Siglo it is clearly to be inferred that the power of Mexico is greater than that of epee * * * Next to England, the credit of Holland is best; and Holland is there- fore the next greater power fo Burope! (Some further remarks about the credit of the United Stater in 1842, when not a dollar could be borrowed in Burope at any price, woich was worse than Spain is at present } Would, therefore, any one call the United States a weak power? ‘The revenues ot Spain ought not to be ecant when has so rapidly augmented her army, paid unctually her large army and officials; when she refuses tosell Cuba for $150,000,000; when she |increases her military resources so profasely; when she receives nothing from Pope Pius the [X. for the Italian expedition, nor Donna Maria de Gilo- ria for the campaigns in Portugal A nation that sprirechaten and can make such sacrifices, more for the sabe of her honor than her interests, koows and can make them, even on a larger scale, when she finds not only her honor but her interests require the effort. Facts prove, then, as well as dates and rea- fon, that the power of Spain is 5 great encagh and even more than enough to contend successfully with Ce United States, especially when allied with exico. [From the Universal of July 22 Phe alliance between Mexico and in is 60 clearly indicated in the very nature of things, that neither of those nations has made the least effort to propore it, although discussed by the ery of mai countries, avd approved or condemned as it favor or'thwarted the political views of the various Jini! represented by these journals. As this allianze ‘would counteract most effectually the grasping views ef the United States, it is plain that the press of that country would declare against it; and, on the other side, defeading the interests of Spain, the Spanish press has declared very naturally in ite fa- vor. In like manner, the conservative press of France has taken the same side, for the simple rea- son that anything that w'll clip the wings of Ameri- can ambition and stop the career of the United States in usurpation, and assure besides the exist- ence and predominance of the Latin race, must ne- cesearily redound to the advantage of conservative ideas in general. From the articles which we have heretofore de- bee to this subject, the following is clearly estab- lished :— ‘The inceseant hostility of the United States to our country, aud ber design to absorb it. % The necessity to have recourse to an alliance to reeist snocemstally this hostility and to contend victo- ricvtly agsiust these designs. ‘The impossibility to make this alliance with any otber ration than Rpain. The certa’pty of being able to resist successfully the attacks of the Republic of the North as scon as our alliance with Spain is made. * * * &c. ‘Theatrical and Musicals Bowrry Tararks.—The apres of amuse- ments for this evening cannot fail to draw a large assemblage.

Vermont Central a mpany.—This was an action on the ease for da- mages to the plaintiff's house, land, and of business, canted by the construction of ta” railroad in front thereof, and across Main and Wa- ter streets, in Burlinyton, whereby an embankment was raised in said street, and the access to the pre- mises of the plaintiff rendered less easy and conre-~ uient, and also for such damages as were occasioned to the plaintiff by the daily ranning of the cars and engines of the defendavts on the same railroad, affecting i ee oe Ketan plain~ in ion over of the poten Tand but through nt across the public ighway, the fee in the soil of which was not claimed by the plaintiff. The Court, by Redfeld, Chief Justice, held that, inasmuch as there was no- thing either in the charter of the defendants. er in the general statutes of the State, which imposed a liability for damages like those claimed in this ease, but the right to recover, given by the charter, wae only for land taken by the railroad, or ca toland. part of which waa teken, the injury to plaintiff was one for which be had no redress, being Realy sonmecnen tal and dumnum abseque injurias ‘he Court held thas neither by the general princi- pies of the common Jaw, nor by any provisions of the constitution of thia State, were the defendants Hable to the plaintiff for the damage he had suffered from the prudent exercise of their lawful business, and hence affirmed the jndgment of the County Court im favor of the defeudants.
