Excerpt from Description of the Panorama of the Superb City of Mexico, and the Surrounding Scenery: Painted on Twenty-Seven Hundred Square Feet of Canvass, by Robert Burford, Esq. From Drawings Made on the Spot, at the Request of the Mexican Government, by Mr. W. Bullock, Junior Fifteen years of internal anarchy, with allits concomitant mis eries; h'as wrought a melancholy alteration in the state of the country, and'in the fortunes of individuals; a few years, it is to be hoped; will efi'ect as great a change for the better. Possessing all the material for a most extensive exchange, Mexico offers the greatest advahtages to commercial speculation: the employment of its present very numerous and unemployed population, by a combination of foreign talent, capital and machinery, together with an active and unrestricted intercourse, will raise them from the lethargy and shackles in which' they have been so long bound by the narrow and barbarous policy of Spain, to that rank amongst nations, which, from their character, the fertility of their soil, and the almost inexhaustible riches of their mines, they are so well calculated to maintain.
