Mr. Benton resumed his speech, of which he had
delivered portions on two previous days, and con

Horse—Our report yesterday left the Ibetse
uncertain what bill should be taken up. Alter
several unsuccessful attempts it was decided to
take up the joint resolUtion, tendering the thanks
of Congress to General Taylor and the army of
':oceupanon, for their redent brilliant services on the
' Rio Grande;
After considerable debate, the resolution was
unanintoustsfadopted as follows:
Resolerd, 'That the thanks of Congress are due
and ate:herelry tendered, to Brevet, Major General
Zachary. Taylor, comthanding the army of occu
pation, his officers and men.for the fortitude, skill.
enterprise,. and courage which have distinguished
the recent brilliant operations on the Grande.
Rewired, That Congress sincerely sympathize
with the , relatives - unti'• friends of the officers and
soldiers of the 'array of the United States who so
bravely fell in the serice of their country on the
Rio Grande.
Regolred That the President be requested to
cause the foregoing reolutionss to be communica
ted to Maj. General Taylor, and through him to the
army under his command.
Mr. Bayly desired to know how the object of
making it appear on the. journalthat the resolution
had passed unanimously - could be attained!
Mr.. Dromgoole suggested that, as a matter of
course. he presumed the fact would appear on the
journal.
The Speaker said, it would be so orderel
And. then, at a late hour, the House adjourned.

been talked. of. A disthigtiished officer of the army
has, it i.e said; given it as his opirdOn that a force
of a hundred thousand men wil be necessary for the
object.* From Tampico to the city of Mexico the
distance is little short of two hundredmiles by a di
rect route,' and the route is perfectly practicable.
°"ln the meantime, the Government have taken
a itep,which is decided and important as a morel
to the Mexican capital. The American squadron,
under Coramodore Stockton, have orders to take

THE CITY OF :MEXICO—THE PRESIDENT'S
PALACE—TILE CATHEDRAL—STREETS AND
BUILDINGS OF MEXICO
Mexico was colonized just one hundred years be
fore Massachusetts. Her first settlers Were the no-,
blest spirits of Spain in her Augustan age, the
epoch of Cervantes, : Cortes, Pizarro, Columbus,
Gonzalva. de Cordova, Cardinal Ximenes, and the'
great and good Isabella. Massachusetts was set-,
tied by the poor pilgrims of Plymouth, who car-,
red with them nothing but their own hardy virtues,.,
and indomitable enero-. illexico, with a rich soil,
and a climate adapted to the production of every I
thing which grows out. of the earth, and possessing I
every metal used by man—Massachusetts with al
sterile soil and ungenial climate, and no single ar.,
tide for exportation but ice and rock-HOW have
these blessings,profusely given by Providence,beeri
improved on the one hand, and obstacles overcome'.
on the other? What is now the respective condi-1
tion of the two countries! In productive industry, i
wide spread diffusion of knowledge, public institu-
tionn of c% cry kind. geneial happiness, and contin;
uolly increasing prosperity; in letters, arts, morals. ]
religion; in every thing which make" a people,
gre it, there is not in the world, and there net er was
in the world, such a commonwealth as MaSSaChtl-
Sttb , . -Thine she is! lurk at her!" —and Mexico.
The city of Mexico is said to be the (Mont built
city on the A mer.can continent. In some respects it ,
certainly is so. Lt the principal streets the boat, es ary l
all constructed according to the strictest architec- ,
tural rules. The foundations of the city were,
erected by Cortes, who did et cry-thing, well which',
he attempted,—from building a house or writing
a couplet to conquering an empire. Many of the',
finest buildings in Mexico are still owned by hiss,
descendants. The public square is said to be un- I
surpassed by any in the world; it contains some,
twelve or fifteen acres paved with stone. The Ca-!
thedral covers one entire side, the palace ' another,
the western side is occupied by a row of very high and '
I substantial houses, the second stories of which
project into the street the width of the pavement,
the lower stories are occupied by the principal re-I
tail merchants of the city. The most in the:el
bosses were bud: by Cortex, who with his chat- I
acteristic sagacity and an avarice which]; equally.
characterized hint in the latter part of hir life, se- I
lected the best portion of the city for hirnself. I
The President's Palace, formerly the Palace of i
the viceroys, is an immense building of three sto
ries high, about five hundred feet in length, and
three hundred and fifty wide-, it stands on the site
of the palace of Montezuma. It in difficult hi
conceive of so much stone and mortar being put I
together in a less tasteful and imp osing shape, it
has much more the appearace of a cotton factory ]
or penitentiary. than what it really is; the windows I
are small, and a parapet Wall /1/06 the whole length
of the building, with nothing to relieve the monot- i
ony of its appearance except 601110 very indiffeient I
ornamental work in the centre; there are no doors I
in the front of either of the second or third stories
—nothing but disproportionately small windows. I
and too many of them; the three floors, and there I
are only three in the lower story. are destitute of
all architectural beauty or ornament. Only every I
o in/11 part of this palace is appropriated to the res
idence
of the President; all the public officers are I
here, including those of the heads of the different I
departments; ministers of war, foreign relations,'
finance and justice, the public treasury, &c. &c.—l,
The halls of the house of deputies and of the stn-i
ate are also in the same building, and last and and i
least the botanic garden. After parsing through
all sorts or filth and dirt on, the basement story,'
you come to a dark narrow passage which conducts
you to a massive door, which when,you have sue-
coded in opening, you enter an apartment enchis.,
ed with high walls on every side but open at the
top and red ainly not exece ling eighty feet square, '
and this is the botanic garden of the pal ace of Mex
ico; a few shrubs and plants and the celebrated
m mita tree, a:e all that it contains. 1-have rarely
in my life seen a more
. gloomy and desolate look• '
ing place. It is much more like a prison than "a
garden. A decrepit, palsied old man, said.to be
mole than a hundred years old, is the superinten
dent of the establishment; no one could have been
selected more in keeping with the general dila-
pidutlon and dreariness of this melancholy affair.
But the Cathednd, which occupies the site of
the great idol temple of Montezuma, 'offers a strik- '
ing contrast. :, Ills five. hundred feet long by four
hundred and twenty wide, It would ibe superth.
Ong (Deihl another to the manyalescriptions of this
famous building which have already been publish-1
ed. Like all the other churches in Mexico, it is',
built in the Gothic style. The walls, of several
feet thickness, are made of mffiewn stone and lime. 'I
Upon entering it, one is apt to recall the, wild tic.]
tints of the Arabian Blights; it seems as if the W ealth '.
of empires were collected there. The first object
that presents itself on-entering the cathedral ie tfie
altar; near the centre of the building,; it is Made of
highly-wrought and highly-polished silver, and ,
covered with a profusion of omamentai of pure gold.
On each side of the altar runs a balustrade;enclosing
a space about eight feet wide and eighty or alron
dred feet long. The halustres are abinit fourTeet
high, mid four inches thick in the largest part; the
handrail from six to eight inches wide. Upon the:
top' of this handrail, at the . distance of silt or eight ,
feet apart, are human images, beautifully wrought,
and about two feet high. All of these, the balus. l
trade, handrail, and images, are made of a Compaandi
of gold, silver', and copper—more valuable , than',
silver. I was told that an offer had been Made to'
take this balustrade and replace it with another of
exactly the same size 'and workmanship -of pure,
silver, and to give half a million of dollars•besides; l
Thera is much more of the eainebalustrade: in Oth-
er parts of the church; I should think, la all of it,
not less than three hundred feet..
I As you 'walk through he bu . Wing, on either
side there are different apartments, all filled from'
the floor to the ceiling, with paintings, statues,
yeses, huge candlesticks, waitimr, and: a thousand I
other artides, made of- gold or silver, . This, too,
is only the every day display of articles of least
't..aluii; the more costly are stowed away in chests,
or Closets. - `What =kit .it', he ' When these are

- They are very thick. in ordinary buildings, from
two to three feet thick, and hi the hitger edifices of
much greates massiveness. L The foundations of
most of the largest buildingsLare made with piles.
EVen these foundations are very insecure, and it is
surprising that they are More so, with suchlan im
mense Weight of stone upon Such an unsteady roan-.
dation. Thii streets cross each other at right an-.
E gleS, dividing the whole city into squares.i Each'
one_of these squares is called a Street, and has a
separate name; a serious incenvrience to a stran-:
I ger M the city.
There is not, I believe, a house in the city with- .
out this court, of greater or less dimensions in pro-:
portion to the size of the building. There is only
-one door on the lower floor; and none at,all'on the
outside of the upper story. This door Lis very
strongly built, and high enough for a coach to pass ,
through; it opens into the patico through which
you pass to the steps leading to the upper stories,
where alone every' body lives except the lower
classes. In all the establishments - of - Me better'
classes,the basement story is only .occupied by
1 the servants and as lumber rooms, and what, struck:
me as very strange, was stables., I . do hot sup
poser that there is such a separate •building in the
eify as a stable. In. visiting Count Certuna, for
q:cample, whose ivhole establishment is altogether
Li;rincely,• and others of equal splendor and luxury,
I found this court 01 I the ground floor used as a
stable ' and passed through rows of horses and car
riages to make my way to the most spacioushalls,:
L filled with fit.e paintings of Me great masters, and.
furnished throughout in a style altogeMer gor- L
pans.
,- In some of the larger private buildings,
thirty.
or forty different families reside; each one having
rented one or two'rooms: all entering the only'
outside door into•the court, which is the inn:ninon
property Of ?di—and froM which each one has an'
entrance to his own rooms on the groinid 'floor or
the gallery above, which runs - 0 around the build-,
ing. Ido not think that the area covered by the
city of Mexico can exceed two miles lu length,
and a mile and a half in width; a very small!paceL
to be occupied by a population of nearly two,
hundred thousand. But it is not at: all surprising!,
When you see thirty or forty familieS, enough to ,
make a respectable village, all huddled away in'
one house, and consider what a large irimber
sleep
in the open air ill That delightful climate How
pure must be the atmosphere when the city of
Mexico is so remarkably healthy, notwithstanding
such a: crowded and filthy mode of living. andwith
trop'.cal sun shining upon the Maist surface of
the w hole valley! One would thinli: the letter
sufficient of Mel( to produce the roost fatal
malaria. . .
It is a little curious that whilst the buildinge and
population of Mexico are thus crowded iiitmahmall
a space, and the rents are three times a. high as in.
New York. yetall around the city there!it a vacant
gruntul. and at dry as the city ittelf, which may be
had almost for the taking. I was riding out with
is friend one evening when he showed the a square
containing hetyreen fit e or six acres just in the rear
, of Plaza de 'fermi on the outskirts'ef the city, and
not more than half or three gaar!crsi of n mile from
the public square, which he had just piarclened for
four Iniailred'aollarti. Why tire' lista are • not in)
