ritan anfooe?in• tI» ♦ tthi'i1 nThe “American and Mexican Emigrant Company” is acting under a Decree issued to it by the Emperor Maximilian, on the 27th of April, IStid, a translation of which, from th* jSpanLli, we give below.The Company U organized with the view of e?*gigiug in and developing the var.oos Enterprises of which Mexico is susceptible, and securing tor Americans their natural anc^i g|hgitiumttt share of Uie pr«ili and advantages arising therefrom.Tne only practical way in which this can be effected is by a properly secured ami or jjjgjfganizaii system *f American Emigration.The world has long Kaii familiar wbh the inexhaustible Mineral Wealth—the ric-Agricultural resources and the delightful climate of Af**xicc—but t*iis wealth and these re nUirces h!*ve rt-rrisjso long hidden under the cloud of civil eo:ma*Kton and other Joeilt;. ne.‘^causes, that tl,c etib rpri-mg mimi has been turned to oher ami more laborious fields of op(•ration. until 'ltilt; country, lt;»*med for tlt;»»* t ime, forgot:* ti.Circumstances have so conspired of late to force them afresh upon the public iniud,- Sai.td to-day .Mexreo fibs the eve and is the theme of the civilized world. Capital from England' gjjFrunre, Austria. Spain and the whole of Europe, is now' finding its way into the country. ‘moMing tier lbii!rlt;»ads( buying her rich Lauds, carrying off her Spices and precious \Vood and digging lit-r (Sold and Stiver,Tne time, in our opinion, has at lust come for the full development of Mexico—tin |\Vur»d needs it, ami sue is about io respond to its necessities. Site is our neighbor—her wealth, her resources, h**r commerce are at our very doors, ami would naturally be con tributary lo our own; but if Americans will 1101 cultivate friendly relations with her, ami jwill not take part in the enterprises of the country, we cau expect but little or no profit •from t hem.We have now our Agents in Mexico, who will keep us promptly and correctly nflvised of the condition of the country in all its aspects, ami who will select the best Agricultural ?tml Mineral Lands in large quantities in the best parts of the Empire.AH that the Emigrant may want to know before lie abandons his old home for a new one, will be communicated through this Company by its Agents in Mexico.The Climute on the table lauds is unequalled for its healthy character and there being jjno frost or winter in that country, the poor man relieved from the drudgery of working half of the year to provide clothing and fuel for*tJie balance.The Soil, in many parts of the Country, is the richest and most productive in the World, yielding all that can be raised in the United States, and in many parts much more abundantly with the same amount of labor, besides many other Crops that will not mature here.The unchanging spring-like character of the Climate, enables the inhabitants to plan:Crops in any season of the year, and the most luxurious pasturage is afforded at all times.thus suvi-g the great expense and labor of laying up supplies for Sock, as in cold conn trie.- .§)_Two crops of Corn can be raised aunnally, and Cotton, on account of the long senlt;ons, will produce from one to one and a half bales to the acre. Coffee will begin to bearin from two todiree years from the plant, yielding, for many years there after, an itmueti.M j|profit, with but little car*? and no expensive machinery to prepare it for the Market.The luxuriant, yield of the Cocoa enables the farmer to realize as much as a thousand»dollars per acre; Sugar-cane produces from three to four thousand pounds per acre; Tobac•o arrives at :t maturity and richness of Havor but little inferior to the best Cuban leaf.* *Jwhile Hemp, Wneat, Earley, live, Oats and other small grain are sncessfully raised.Mahogany, Iron-wood, india-rubber tree, Cedar-wood and Vanilla are abundan»,| which with Logwood and Cochineal and other dye stuffs, added to immense supplies o* e- {Jfjpfiniu Hides ami Wool, will constitute very important items of Mexican commerce.In alluding to these productions, we do not Wtsii to be understood assaying that all otK^ «hem can be found in tt-tr.j part of tne country, but that each section possesses its own agn H cultural ciiaraeierbties, the history and details of which will be pare of the province of thLg.
