Special Letter for the Banner.] Mexico City, Mex., Sept. 1st 1S92. In my last letter I have promises to write again, and select as my subject the various places of interest in this city. I shall therefore spiak now of the National Palace, the Cathedral and the Paseo de la Reforms, leaving the Hacienda of Don Joan Corona, La Yiga Canal Monte de Pieded, the Alameda, Poet office department, the National mint and other places for another let ter. The National building occupies the entire eastern side of the Plaza Mayor, with a frontage of 615 feet, containing all the departments of the Federal Gov ernment, the Hail of Foreign Ambas sadors and a gallery with portraits of Hidalgo, Iturbide, Morelas and other persons of note in the history of this land. This building has been com menced in 1692, and since, various ad ditions have been made, so that it is to day after the “Palais de Justice” in Paris, the largest public building in the world. Having been introduced to the secre tary of the Minister of public works, he explained to me a very curious fact, vix: all letters to subalterns or outside parties, all documents are written in duplicate, one is kept in the archives of the department and the other is sent to the addressee. The law prohibits the ose of tvpe writers and copies in tissue letter books. This, he added, is the BCCKUOT8 ARNICJ9ALYE.
