The Philadelphia Ledger observes that the recent
act OF Ucatan IN declaring entire independence of
Mexico and Its own nationality and sovereignty, is
measure traught with important results both to Mexi-
co and this country. 1t clips off another and of
the best Of the Mexican States from the central gov
ernment, and 1t is considered highly probable that
TobascO and Chapa will follow the example and the
three form separate confederation. The national
flag has been adopted bearing three stars probably in
anticipation OF this event, and the new banner has
already been displayed in waters at New Orleans.


AT the breaking out of the war with Mexico,
government exempted Yucatan from blockade, be-
Of It's attitude towards the central government
whose authority had thrown off and of Its supposed
friendly feeling towards the government of the Uni
ted States Ii has since shown lis appreciation of
this friendly disposition the part of govern
ment, by rejecting all the offers of reconciliation
made by the central government, and announcing its
entire independence, nationality and sovereignty


The New Orleans Bulletin gives the following in
teresDg account of the people of that country which
shows the superiority of the Yucaecos to the Mex-
cans generally, which would be inferred from their
early resistance of the exactions of the government
and their determination to support government of
their own. Z" The people of Yucatan intelligent,
but little distracted by parties, and have been almost
entirely free from the civil connections with which
Mexico has been wasted. Hence, they have habits
of order stability and selfgovernment requisite for
a constitutional republican State They are affabe,





of the peninsula is represented to be very pleasant,
and in most parts salubrious. Formerly the country
represented to be very FERTILE but its productive
ness doubt exaggerated In the interior there
is great lack Of water, river of magnitude being
found in the whole country. 1t admits however, of
the culture of maize, rice, the sugar cane, cotton,
pepper, tobacco and cochineal. 1t also exports dye
woods, hides, soap, and the Sisal hemp CampeacLy
has been mart of considerable trade and might again
be revived. The peninsula has been the seat of a
Populous and fiourishing empire-ihe remains of
cent grandeur-as the ruins of walled towns, palaces
and religious temples-abounding as much in any
part of the world. The population of Yucatan
is estimated at about half million The terri
tory is compact and nearly isolated one side being
washed by the Gulf of Mexico and the other by the
Caribbean Sea. We hope the new State will receive
every proper recognition and encouragement from our
government, and flourish under It's Three Stars till it
voluntarily proposes to reset them in the great
stellation of the Union.''
