I. F. Maury, Imperia (ommisfioner of Colonization -Sin--The undersikoed have the honko to submit the following report: Immediately after our appoittment we proceeded to the District of Cordova, ii% the State of Vera Crur, for the pur pose of examiniig the lands in that di. trict owned by the Government. .We have visited and examined the hacien. das and lands in said -district mentionied im the decrou of 5th September,. 1865. Tny are situa:ted upon the the nine. teetnth parallel of north latitude upoi a plain which deAcends from the region of perpetnial .nAs, and within twenty-five or thirty milqs'of the snow-capped peak of Orizaba. The altitude oi thii4 plin is about twenty.eight hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea, giving a climate which is positively delightful, where it 'is never 'too warm t6 wear cloth clothes and to sleep under a blan ket with comfort, and rarely cold enough to wear an overcoat. We are informed by intelligent persons who have lived in the country for many years, that,the -ex treme variations of the thermometer will not excped twehty degrees. The soil is extremely firtile and high ly productive, abounding in every va riety of tropial fruit, and of the iinest qulity- Yielding under the present im perfect system of cultivation large crops of corn, barley, rice, tobacco, sugarcane and coffTe, with almost every variety of vegetable, while that portion of the lands iearest the coast produces heavy crops of cotton of an excellent qialit.y. Under a proper systen of cultiv2tion we are satisf8ed that these lands may be made to' produce equal to any that we have 'ever seen. We find mahogany, cedar, oak and other valuable timber in the forest, while the orange. lemon, lime, fig, guayava and vanilla grow lixuriant ly in the woods. These lands are, in our opinion, admirably adapted to the purposes of colonization. Considering soil, climate, location and variety of crops, we know of no better, if, indech, we have ever-seen so desirable a country for agricultitral pursuits. Some of thin lie upon and all in reach of the rnilroad from Vera Croy to the city of Mexico, the most distant being withi twelvO miles of the road and about seventy from the city of Vera r .-.-..4 4..- Artwen lw LWt*1.., ,,,11ti front Posso del Machio, to which point the road is now in operation. We are assured by the people of the country that two crops of coin can be raised apon the same lamls each year, an(] fromwhatt ive hare seen we ure sa tisfied that the custom Pf the country is to raise it crop of corn and a crop of to. bacco on the same land. th,- corn ripen. ing before,,it. uouill ..u :?r t,bacco planntm g. Coffee is exteniively andprofitably cut. Sivated im the immediate vicinity o1 these linds. Tim excellent quality of the cof fee grown here in times past gives it hiph rank in the cofTeg markets of the world. Th.cultiv.alton f ;h cofke crop is simple, easy and cheq', roing :mn ally from s thousand to fifteen hiunred pounds per &e. The absence of any local cause of die. eas- and the lit-idth and robust appe,arance of the peoph'se living upon this plain give ample assuirances'as to the health of t,he counitry. Tb.'e surv.eyors are now engagedl in surveytugs the lands referred to. it is believed they 'll complete thag suIrvey within a week . ten daya,whe#their set tlnemnt wvill.commence by about thirty, ,Amenerian immigrants, who- are now here awaitig the completion of the survey. Imniediately upon seeing these imni grnats furnished with land. we will pro-. ceedi to thme exAmination of Zongolica and Ji'lapa lands, upon which we hope to be-able to repiort.V'efy soon. .
