my ? mi i jin... ? I* From the New Orleans Picayune. SKETCHES OF MEXICO. The City of Mexico.?Matters in relation to New Spain and its gorgeous capital arc every jt day rising in interest; so we have drawn out an old pencil note-book again, and the mail conveniently staying away yostciday, we found time to scratch up the present sketch. The most impressive notion that strikes a new traveller while progressing through the large cities - .. .of Mexico, is the inordinate thirst of gold that docs still, and always must have characterized the rulers and priesthood of the couutry. While a great mass of the population are in actual poverty, vcTging on starvation, the churches and palaces ' * * - mi A arc gorgeH with wealth and treasure, i nc lyran- t ny of the old conquerors is also ttill alive, and the miserably degraded state to which the |>oor aborigines hare been reduced and in which the pauper * . portion of even the Mexicans themselves exist, is truly pitiable. Much has been written about the mild climate of Mexico, and little is left to say of it tlipt woul^ * not assume the appearance of repetition. Yet the traveller beneath those sunny skies, can scarcely repress a disposition to record his emotions, if once a pen comes between his fingers; and indeed, it would be difficult for even the most poetic fancy to be too warm and glowing upon the subject.? Fire places and stoves arg no common things in the city of Mexico, and houses arc built without-, thought of sufch a provision as a chimney. Cooking is done out of doors, in the streets and yards, and a daily spectacle in the public squares is beggars and others with small furnaces preparing their scanty fare for use. This fact shows emphatically the nature of the climate. .. The great capital is situated in a broad and beautiful plain, encompassed by gigantic moun* tains, to the summit x>f which the eye is continually roving, the bold contrast of nature's stupendous work, with the domes and steeples below, irresistibly forcing wonder and admiration u|>on the mind. Regarding the city jtself, the traveller will not always form favorable impressions when first beholding it, and in fact, those Who have indulged in excitement over warm descriptions of the country, arc very apt to be stricken with the chillncss of disappointment.?Nor is even a sojourn v ' "of some weeks sufficient to cliangc this frame of sentiment. It lingers upon you, and is likely to remain your strongest bent of feeling when you _ . leave. It is certainly true that there arc many buildings?mostly public, however?churches, con. vents, monasteries, and so forth, -of great and striking proportions which never /ail to arrest the observation of the stranger; but it is more from their antiquated style of structure than any thing like real architectural elegance. These buildings axe mostly old, and already remarkable for venerable appearance, though they arc likely to stand as long again and longer, for their durability would seem really to defy tiie progress of time. The old Spanish mode of building prevails of course, throughout the city, giving rich novelty, at any. rate, to the eye of the American visitor, and making the scene quaint and picturesque. The houses are ail similar in construction, being.oi stone, and very seldom varying in fashion. This sameness/ however, is another point coming in contradiction with tho romantic features of the city which we have just mentioned, and its effect is materially to ***. mar the pleasure of the traveller. The general appearance of every tiling in the way of architecture, is massive, and but little of grandeur is to be found, save in the interiors of the churches and palaces, while real elegance is to be seen nowhere. A heavy and sombre effect is produced by the ancient style of structure. In the houses the 'floors arc of tile or common brick, and the stranger will not fail to observe immediately the absence of fire-places. - The streets arc but roughly paved, and none of them arc at all over-cleanly. They are not planned with side-walks and gutters as ours arc, but slope downwards from each side to the centre, where there is generally a covered drain. By far tlie greater jwrlion of the thoroughfares-are neglected, and our pen shrinks from a description of the filth and wretchedness to be found in some of them. Mexico lies in the heart of the mountains, high in the torrid region, seven thousand four hundred and forty feet above the sea; and here, in a vast valley, overtopped by the huge Cordillera of the South, sits the capitol of New Spain. It is a great city, and one whose destinies, both of old and to come, arc now more than ever engaging the attention of surrounding nations. Strange and semi-barbarous as has been tiic history of the country through its career until th s time, the next ^ ten or fifteen years promise even a more eventful record. Fiercer days than those of the Spanish? likelv to idoom over the land, and a deadlier fight than that with Montezuma's people, may yet be storied of the New Casliliansund their newer neighbor*; " The population of the city is now called one 'hundred and seventy thousand; at least it was so estimated when Santa Anna was garrisoned in his palace with many troops around him. Yet to see llic swarms of human beings that almost con. ' * stantly throng the streets, a natural impression arises that the number must be much greater.? Many composing these crowds, however; are not residents in the city, but wander about the country in ail directions, having homes nowhere. One of the most distinct and at the same .line revelling . features of the city, and in fact the whole country, is its numerous and wretched pauper population. All cities have their better classes, certainly, and even Mexico has hers; but these aro secluded and seldom seen by the stranger. The intelligent Mexicans deeply reprobate the idleness, rascality, '1 ' ' ..;*/?? nf itin rv/irvr m.'iCS and will sioin anu uuiu nvio u? mv j-w. ...?, fredy so express themselves to Americans, but vast and mighty convulsions must shake the nation Before ever a better state of things will be brought about. Crime prevails among the poverty-stricken wretches to a frightful extent. Thefts, robberies, pud even murders, arc of nightly and sometimes daily occurrence. Two or more dead bodies may' be seen almost any morning, exposed at the dead bouse, victims of assassination during the night.? Horses are stolen impudently in daylight, in the public streets, and persons robbed of their money and clothing almost with impunity. Heaven preserve all decent travellers from the loafers, rascals, and Lrpros of Mtxico. We have given all the space we can afibrd to tiiis sketch, and yet have scarcely touched upon half the points that interest us.
