In our two preceding papers we have treated of the and agriculture of jopul.itionjekteiii. the vast kin"dom of Mexico: we how uro.Pl t a brief account of iu manufactures "and inteNTal mdustrj- in which it! will be seen that it falls snort of no Europe an kingdom ( F 1 1 gland and" Fra 1 1 e excepted) in the fabrication of evtiy manufacture of nect'ity, coiirfortj or elegance. Tlie reader will ber in his memory, that In treating of the agriculture of Mexico, we distributed its produce into two main bnknches,J 'i.

This wool is as easily raised in Mexico as in Leicestershire or Lao cash ire. We are; now . translating from . a'-French author, who visited Queretaro, the Manchester of Mexico, sixteen years ago.

We have befoie had occasion to ay,1 that the country Is, in shape, like hat; the high mam and table land f Mexico being the crown, and nr row ,lme of the coast being the rim. An the exact middle of this crown, or table land, is the city of Mexico, ex tictly half waor three hundred miles . from Vera' Cruz,'' the Atlantic Port afnd the same distance from Acapulco, the chief port of the Mexican empire as we have above said, is divided into in in e racniu ceari. ine -country. fifteen Intendancies, each of which lias Wi; subordinate. Governor and a Bishop's see and Cathedral of its'town. in all these great cities, arej sealed kome. manufacture peculiar ito the :3. place ; some of them are celebrated for their pottery, some for their hats, some for their works in jewellerv. In deed, ii this latter work, the Mexicans siruparticuUrly excel, as to rival any factory in '; 'Furope, not even except v ing the establishments in Switzerland.
