FROM SELLS (LONDON) WEEKLY MES SEXCi K R OPENING OF SOUTH AMERICA IR.iDE AND COMMERCE Internal i ommerce of Mexico. In our former papers we have descrioed most fully, the alimentary produce, the pioduce in raw articles of manufacture, and 'he mineral pioduce oi Mexico In our paper of the 1 4th, we described the amount and the particulars ot its actual manufactures, and par

ticularly ot those in wool and cotton,ihose : of tobacco and gunpowder, and those of jewelry and cochineal. Our present sub

ject is tne commerce of ..itxico, its internal trade, and its foreign commerce. We commence with the toimei ol these branches, by which it will appear that tinstate of trade, society, and internal communication and supply in this vast kingdom, are very different from what they have been represeined The main heads of internal commerce, are the navigable rivers and canals, the roads, the modes of interna conveyance, the subjects of such interior tiade, and its degree and amount. Mexico has no can.ds, and only two navigable livers, but both of these of immense magnitude and course. 1 he first of these is the Great North rivei, called in the language of the country, the Rio del Norte, and the river Santiago ; the foimei of these as bioad, as deep, and having as long a course as the famed Mississippi ; the latter as, broad, deep, and long as the Elbe and the Rhone. But neither of these rivers is much used in the actual state of Mexico, t' ouh, ir hM nr-ent condition ol independence, they may shortly become the means of UiiiUMiig opulence and cultivation through her vast territories. As the communication of Mexico with Euiopc and Asia is made only through the two ports of Vera Cruz and Acapu. co, ail commodities and mci chandize necessarily pa.s through the capital to one or other of these destination. ', , v have before had occasion to obserVe,iha the land of Mexico resembled a hat th oast !h itii- i l r in-, ' , . la dihecro vn Now,the capital of Mexico sente in the ve v . e . l ... .ov era C?uz being up- n the run or o ; t 210 English miles to the west; whilst Acapulco is seated upon the oppositerun or coast, about 209 miles to the eat 1 he two mam ruads of the empitc are. therefore; these roaus from Mexico to Vera duz, and from Mexico to N apulco. About 50 miies of the 200 from Mexico to Vera Cniz is a piccipitous descent fom the mountains to the coast, anil the sami may be s -id of the mad from Mexico to Acapulco. The mode of conveyance toi all good is nv beaK of burthen, carrying packs, mules and horses. Wheel carnages are not used for the transport of goods; but the roacU aie covered with thousands of mnes. hotses, Indians, and mulattocs who tend upon, and accompany these beasts and their burthens The gtea! Mexican roads have thus a most singular scenery all activity, life and busintss?3uc1 the tovfns and villages resemble Eurppean towns at the season of our fairs. 'I he principal objects of the interior trade of Mexico are as follows First the produce and merchandise imported, or to be exported by the two ports of Vera Cruz, and Acapulco. 2i!y, The cx change of produce or commodities between the different provinces and the capital ; and 3diy the produce of Peru, Quito, and Guatimala, which traverse Mexico, in order to be exported through Vera Cruze to Europe.

astouisnmg c:;:r(.'. antl importance to this inlcn.al in'v - . Whilst one of the Mexican p.o. h-c.-s resembles tlie climate of Englai-d mother couesponds with the ciimaic ot Jamaica and a third with the delightful temperature of Naples or the Madeiras. Thus each supplies the other with its peculiar luxury, and ansing to the different elevation of two adjoining provinces, one beng as it were on the top of a mountain, tm other half way down the side : nothing cin be more extraordinary than the shortlistance between two climates directly op posite, and two species of ptoduce of the same opposite character. You have Europe and Asia, England and Italy, Sweden and Jamaica, all within a day's joutney of e tch other u Nothing more surprised me in Mexico than this. HI found the country, where I happened to

be, too cold at breakfast, if the i gs reminded me of the bank of the Thames, l

or the snows reminded me of Yorkshire -it was my own fault if I did not dine under the shady palm. and the sycan,c, with a tropical sun in all its brghtness over my head, and birds and floucrs cf all hues aiound me on cveiy side I cannot express the singular tffect of these sudden and so opposite changes, so closely in time and distance follow .mill pon each other.
