THE WEST. We have several times noticed the trade which is carried on by the people of Missouri with the interior provinces of Mexico. One party of traders, stopping at fort Osage on the 16th of May last, consisted of one hundred and five men, who had with them 34 wagons and 240 horses and mules; besides, there was a large party in advance. Cash is said, however, to be very scarce in the countries to be visited, and that the returns will chiefly be made in horses and mules. The first are had'in exchange for goods, sold at one hundred per cent. profit, at from 10 to 20, and the last at 20 or 30 dollars a-piece. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

TROY, located at the head of the sloop navigation of the Hudson, and a great stopping-place for the products of the interior, brought down the Erie and Champlain canals, is, perhaps, the most beautiful and thrifty city of its size in the world. The stores and warehouses here remind one of New York and other great cities, on account of their magnitude;| and the business caused by the canals, with the abundance of water power in its vicinity, gives to Troy much of that bustle which we notice in them--being the seat of a large manufacturing district. We should like to see a list of these establishments, and hope that some of our friends in Troy will furnish it; for the people of all parts of the United States are interested in ascertaining the progress made towards the supply of our wants. The "Troy Register" states, that, in addition to the present great establishments, a new one is to be erected in the south part of SILK.

One thing, however, may be noticed with pleasure, that three ordonnances have been issued which grant an amnesty to many persons who had been condemned, or were fugitives from France, for political offences, and pardon those who were suffering punishment for misdemeanors against the forest and fishing laws.
