of Mexico is not_ capable or,a very stubborn.or
serious defence. The valley. of Mexico; Which
is sixty-three miles. in ext4nt by forty-direct
in breadth, is quite picturetique, and is elo' 7 ,
quently described iby all traliellers, but by none
more glowingly then by Ili4terz Ma.K.pi.
" Conceive yOurself,' he'.. says, "placed.
nearly two thousand feet ablove the valley, and'
nine thousand feet above tbli level. of the
.sea..
The gigantic scale of everyiliing first strikes
lyou—ydu seem ttifie looking down upon c;
world. No otheimountaiii - and valley scene
has such an' assemblage of +attires, beeause'no
where are the mountains,atithe same time so
high, the valley so wide, or fillet' with suph.va
riety of land and Water. : 'the plain beneath
is exceedingly level, and fort two hundred miles
around it extends a barrier". of stupendonS
mountains, Most, of which have been active
volcanoes, and arc . now_cokered, dome with
snow, and some with foresti. It is laced' with .
large bodies of water;lookingniore like seas than
lakes :. it is dotted with innumerable villages,
and estates and plantations i eminenceefroin itl
which, eleswhere, Would be I called mountains,.l
yet, there at your; feet they, eem but ant-hills'
OP the plain and now lettin your eye follow
the rise 'of the mountains t , the west, (seen
fifty miles distant;) you looover the immedi- •
ate summits that wall the valley to another and' l
more =distant range — and ito range beyond

whole melts into O. vaporydistance, blue as the,

speak of the capabilitieS.of ttle city for defence,
although it is well. known that CORTEZ met
with a stubborn resistance, ivlien he invested'
,it in 1521. The population i.f the city is about
180,000, of which about on.elialf are Creoles,

one-fourth, Indians , and the remainder mixed
races. .It is -olie of the most9Yeautiful cities:in
