Mr. Zorn, or Don Pablo as he is called here, Her Majestnducted with an order and regularity not to be equalled in an assembly of a much higher class in Europe. If there ever is a row, it is invariably caused by Texans from Brownsville. These turbulent s square also was a triumphal arch, with an inscription to the effect that the effete nations of Europe might tremble. I made great friends with the gobernador and administrador, who endeavored to enn terms of the highest admiration.

Mr. Sennec is thinking of going to Wilmington, and running-from thence, as it is more secure than Che an appointment with me to meet him at his house at 7 P. M. The public offices are handsome stone buildings, and seem to be well arranged for business. I found at least as much difficulty in gaining access to the great men as there would be in European countries; but when once admitted, I was treated with the greatest courtesy. The anterooms were crowded with people patiently waiting for an audience. The streets of Richmond are named and numbered in a most puzzling manner, and the greater pa
