XXX. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The District of Columbia is under the immediate government of Congress. The city of Washington became the seat of the government of the United States, in 1800; and it is the residence of the President, and the other chief executive officers of the national government. According to a census prepared in 1841, by the Mexican "National Institute of Geography and Statistics." But this number includes Yucatan and Texas, and is evidently too small. The present population of most of the above States has not been very recently ascertained with any exactness. BRITISH AMERICAN PROVINCES.
