It is in an extract of a letter from a highly respectable gentleman in that lernlory, dated Santa Fe, February 28th. The writer says : "Governor Lane is understood to intend to take possession of that pari of New Mexico which lies below Ihe line fixed by Commis sioner Barllett, and above the line ci"hl - miles above El Paso. There are some two or three thousand people in the disputed ter ritory, and most of lhem anxious lo be in cluded within this Territory. The Governor does this upon his own responsibility, deem ing it proper, inasmuch as the Stale of Chi huahua has resolved and thrown off iho au ihorily of the Central Government. It is barely possible that circumstances may in duce him lo change this determination." Washington, April 23.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR DATED 1 Philadelphia, April 26, 1853. Business was, perhaps, never more brisk in Philadelphia than nt the present time. As a general thing, all kinds of merchan dize ha iomewhat advanced in price, al Ihounh in man? articles the advance is but small. It is, indeed, wonderful, that with the nreat enflux of the precious metals and the general prosperity of iho cpnntr)VJne advance ha not beefi greSjeiJ:iLJ5i-. e.rafStTTeJvliTicTTiM" b'een' gieater and rent, have1 gone up cmisidernuiy.- une ui the new stores, in Chestnut St., below sev entb, has beenfented for f 6,500 pat atir.mn or tft25,00 per week. Thi. however is moderate compared with New ork, wtieto some stores have been rented at $10,000 per annum. Much of ihe prosperity of Phila delphia arid New York, is undoubtedly to be attributed to the numerous rnilronds and oilier communications opened for the trade of the interior and ihe west t understand that a new railroad is about to be constructed connecting the Philadel phia and Suubtiry railroad nt Ml. Carmel with the Cattawissa road. Tho grades are light and the location excellent and as ihe grades from Sinbury to Ml. Carmel are more favorable than to Cnltawissa, avoiding the high bridge of the latter, ihere can bo nn loubl but 1 hat Ihe be.-l connection of even the Cattawissa road, with the Susquehanna river is at Suubury by this road. The present great demand for mechanics and laborers of all kinds has induced many of Ihem lo strike for higher wages. Among those who have struck, are the waiters in the hotels, in this city and New ork. The waiters of Ihe Franklin House, in Ihfs city having struck, the landlords temporarily sub stituted females for tho refractory servants. The boarders and guests, were so well pleas ed with the change, lli.it the landlord has resolved to engage ihem peimanently. There can be no reason why females, should not be employed in all kinds of business, re quiting but litlle physical labor. Typo set ting, for instance, could be done fully ns well. Several papers in Boston, have now in their employ, female type sellers. Re- LATER AND IMPORTANT rROlW HEW MEX- ItO.

The Washington Union, the Administration paper, has an article on our relations wilh Mexico, in which it says: If the friendly relations of the two couutties should be interrupted, the unfortunate event will not be in consequence of the unjust ac tion of this Government. A satisfactory solution of existing diflirulties with Mexico is sincerely sought by Ihe Government, which is prepared to make every reasonable saci i fice to peace. Speaking of Stnla Anna's recent address, the article says : Il may be an unmeaning common place ; but, nevertheless, the declaration in the con clusion of his address of a purpose lo rullivate friendly relations with foieign nations, indu ces us to hope that ihe President of Mexico appreciates Ihe true condition of his country and is prepared to maintain a pnlicy of peace as the only remedy for Iho disorders and evils which he so eloquently deplores. Another war vilh the United Stales would inevitulhj ex tinguish the nationality of Mtxico,',Mid we cannot suppose Santa Anna to be' insensible to so obvious a truth or indifferent to so dis astrous a fate. Whatever, then, inn) be his disposition,' we canuot doubt that' his policy will be controlled by his overruling necessity The silly suggestion that Santa Anna probably contemplates surrendering tha natiora'ity of Mexico to some European power is unworthy of consideration.

The proclamation also establishes a pro visional boundary as laid down by Disturnell, and requires rill civil and military officers lo execute ihe United States laws in said leni- toty. Gov. Lane nlso says that a large number of the inhabitants of Ihe Valley claim the protection of the U.sited Suites, and desire that the Teniloiy bo re-annexed lo New- Mexico. After Col. Sumner refused his aid in carrying out the proclamation, Governor Lane cnlled on Col. Miles, w ho r.lso refused to act, by instruction fiom Col. Sumner, and also because he (Miles) believed Guv. Lane wns doing wiong.
