MEXICO.
A few days ago Benjamin Lundy arrived in Cincinnati, after a long absence, during which his friends received no intelligence from him. He informs us that he has been engaged in a tour of observation in Mexico, particularly
with reference to the province of Texas, which many beside himself consider excellently adapted for negro colonization. Benjamin Lumfy is the original and present Editor of the Genius of Universal Emancipation, and is well known for his fearless and tenacious perseverance in endeavors to meliorate the condition of the colored people. He-will soon publish an account of his tour. The following sketch of the state of that country was, simultaneously, handed in for publication. Cin. Chronicle. " In the opinion of the most intelligent persons I met with, both citizens and foreigners, the government of Mexico, has now settled down upon a lib
eral and permanent basis. The late
puerile eftprts of Bravo and Conalizo !
were calculated to mawe but little impression on the public mind. The Pre
sident, Sanla Annuals exceedingly pop
ular, throughout the Republic. He has now for the third time, after heing
called to take the. command ot the
military forces of the? nation, retired to his farm. It is stated that he has publicly declared his intention to paltern after our own great Washington. as far as it may be in his power. Newspapers are rapidly increasing on the liberal side, among which there is one entitled the "Smxiu: ov Washington." Most of them are ably conducted; and they have, for some time past, been literally, filled with spirited essays and paragraphs,. criticising the conduct of the prieslhoodj and demanding the free iolerrition of the Protestant Religion. The great mass of the citizens, and even many of the Catholic clergy, are decidedly in favor of this measure. The
Executive branch of the general government has recently corresponded with those of the several States, relative to the immediate, adoption of measures to amend the Constitution for that purpose. They are now preparing to
establish lhe trial by jury, in the state of Coahuila and Texas. The clause in the law of April, 1830, prohibiting the migration and settlement of citizens of the United States in Texas, is prospectively repealed. It will be null
and void on the 21st of May next.
1 he introduction of slaves is positively prohibited, by both the general and
state governments; and the laws relative thereto will be rigidly enforced.1 Voluntarily indentured laborers may be held for ten years, and no longer, under any circumstances, in Texas. All slaves introduced,. and not thus indentured, are immediately free. " The proceedings of the Convention to form a new State government in Texas, separate from Coahuila, were disapproved, and their proposition was promptly rejected by the Mexican Congress. In the first place, this 'Convention' was organized in an informal and illegal manner. Secondly, it was opposed by many of the most substantial settlers, as premature. And, thirdly, it
was pretty well understood that the new State would endeavor to re-establish the system of slavery. Their draft
of a constitution contained nothing to
prohibit that, as the present constitu
tion does. "Stephen F. Austin was the bearer of it to the seat of the general govern
ment. The unsettled state of things,
at that period, prevented an immediate
attention to his amplication. In his
anxiety to obtain the sanction of gov
crnmentr, without much investigation, he gave some offence to the Vice President. At length he found that he would be unsuccessful, and immcdi-
atclv wrote to the Ayuntameinto (cor
poration) of San Antonio de Bexar, recommending a correspondence with l l-.e other local i:ulhoritics in Texas, and the organization of a stale government, sep -.rate from Coahuila, without the consent of Congress or the other States. The Ayuntameinto of IVvar
is composed of liberal Mexicans. Rut Austin did not find them traitors to their government. Instead of complying with his request, they passed reso
lutions, severely reprehending his con
duct, and immediately communicated
the whole to the governor of the State.
Upon the reception of this communication, the governor sent the papers di rectly to the President of the Republic. Austin had quitted the capitol before this information reached the government, and was on his way home. A force was instantly despatched in pursuit of him, and he was overtaken at Saltillo in the South part of Coahuila and Texas. He had thus merely set his foot over lhe line, within the State, when he was taken into custody and remanded back to the city of Mexico, to await his liial on a charge of diso
bedience to the laws and constitutional authority of the Federal government. "It was not expected that the rash
proceedings of Austin would produce any commotion in Texas. He was
previously unpopular with many of the
seiners; and Ins conduct upon the present occasion is severely censured by a great portion of them. The foreign
ers, generally, condemn it in the most
unqualified manner. They consider il
particularly injurious to themselves, as it is calculated to foment the prejudice against them, which was rapidly decli
ning, among a portion of the Mexican
people. A large majority of those now in power are liberal' minded, but at (he same time resolutely determined that
the laws shall be obeyed, and their con
stitution preserved inviolate. Of the
few settlers in Texas who may be willing to join in Austin's Quixotic movements, the principal part are persons of little character and responsibility. It is be
lieved that t lie better sort have sulli
cient influence to awe (heminlo silence, or at least to prevent any serious tur-
nuience. "The emigration to Texas is in
creasing from our northern and middle States, as weil as from Europe. Some
are. still going from the south and west; but as the government is about to adopt
ctncicnt measures to prevent the intro
duclion of slaves, the emigrants will consist principally of hardy, industri
ous freemen.
