I,t is determined to embrace, in One bill, every thing that relates to the government of territory n. qiired from 3/exico.

A startling discovery, confirmatory ol the truth <>f the book of Jonah, has been made bv Mr. Layard. In excavating the citvof Nineveh, lie discovered the mime of Jonah insciihed upon the ruins. That prophet, ;is our readers know, was sent to announce to the people of Nmeveh the dostinotion of the city, llis eloquence converted many of them, and ''God lepented him" of the doom //e had pronounced, and spared the oily for that time, donah then heoanu; the prophet of Nineveh, and was reverenced hv the inhohi.tanis, A> was the Oiientnl custom, they doubtless inscribed his name in con |8;)ienous places on ihe walls of ilic pubic edifices, and the inscriptions engraved by ^Issyrian linnds, a thousfir.d years I < fore the Christian era, have been found by M\. Layard. This is one of the most extraordinary demonstrations of the accuracy of biblical histoiy we have ever heard of, vis yet wc have only seen the beginning of the end. The city of Nineveh has scarcely yet been entered; and wlien the excavations shall have been comp'.e ted, n Mahometan jealously sho.dd ever permit that consummation, we may expect illustrations of the prophecies that will strike the; world with awe and Wonder.
