Whereas g preamble and resolutjon has this flay passed
both branches of the City Government, requesting the Mayor,
n conformity with the views impress.'d in the message of
his Excellency the President of the Unite.i Stnatethes, in which
e-
it is stated " that a state of war exists betw.'
ire Govern
his procla-

authority,
mation calling on all persons acting under the city
observe
and exhorting all ether of our fellow-citizens t.'
faithfully the requirements of the President's proda:nation,

Now, therefore, I, Andrew H. Mickle, Mayor of the city

expression given by the Common Council thereon. Be-
lieving, as I do, that in any emergency, one and all of our
citizens are ever ready to respond to the legitimate calls of
the Government, I therefore feel the greatest confidence that
the same line of conduct will characterise our fellow citizens
on this occasion as has ever heretofore been manifested.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my
name, and have caused the seal of the mayoralty to be
hereunto affixed, this fifteenth tlty of May, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-six.
ANDREW IL AIICKLE, •
Mayor of the City of New York.
The Committee of Arrangements for a meeting of citizens,
in the Park, with the view of expressing a publie opinion on
the relations of our country with Mexico, are requested to
meet in the Mayor's office this evening at six o'clock.
A. H. MICKLE, Mayor.
We find the following in the New York Herald of the
18th :

PROTEST OF THE BRITISH MINISTER.
THE PRESENT IMBECILE CAZINET MUST GO OUT.
PROBABLE WAR WITH ENGLAND.
WASHINGTON, MAY 14, 1846.—The British Minister, Mr.
Pakenham, formally protested this morning against the course
adopted by this Government against Mexico. The reasons
assigned are those which are usually advanced by that Power
upon similar occasions—that of the injury
and interruption
to commerce which such a state of things naturally produces.
The British merchants at Matanzas, you are already aware,
have protested against the occupation of the territory oppo-
site to that city by our troops, and the blockade of the river
upon which it is situated, by our vessels ; and, in further-
ance of this declaration her Majesty's Minister has solemnly
entered his protest. If this country do not at once succumb
to this threat—a thing which it will not do—he will ask for_
his passports, probably, and depart immediately for some of
the British provinces, near this country, until he hears fur-
ther from his Government.—[Doubtful, very.—Ed.
Such is the crisis to which Mr. Polk and his miserable ad-
visers have brought us at last. The country has never had
any confidence in his Cabinet, and how can it sustain it now,
when the emergency calls for the co-operation of the migl!!Y
minds of the nation ? They must be forced from his councils,
and able men placed in their stead.

THE BRAZILS.
FALMOUTH, JUNE B.—The Penguin packet, Lieutenant
Leslie commander, arrived last night with the Brazil mails,
having sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 16th of April. She
brings about 20,0001. on freight in gold and diamonds.
The Swift packet arrived at Rio on the 24th of March
from Falmouth.
Her Majesty's ship Crescent, Lieutenant Hemsworth, Was
at Rio.
Her Majesty's schooner Spider sailed from Rio for the River
Plate, on the 13th of March.
The Revira (hired schooner) arrived at Rio on the 10th of
April, with mails from Monte Video.
When the Penguin left Rio the exchange was at 26M, and
stock steady at 751, ; but only a comparatively small amount
had been done for the packet. The market was devoid of in-
terest. Coffee only beginning to arrive; the demand slack,
and prices rather declining. Freight very scarce, and the
rate 30s. to 355. to the usual ports of Europe. The Emperor
and Empress were expected to have embarked on the 15th
of April at Santos, and to arrive at the city on the 18th fol-
lowing. It was anticipated that the Minister of Finance
would be abk to exhibit a surplus revenue over the expendi-
ture of the year—a desirallie event if it should prove so. ,
Her Majesty's brig Philomel, Captain B. Sulivan, arrival
this morning with dispatches from Monte Video, whence she
sailed on the 20th of April, bringing Mr. Turner, the British
Chargé d'Affaires, and the Chevalier M. Marcel, Secretary
to the French Mission in the River Plate. By this arrival
we learn that the present state a matters in that quarter
demand the retention of the Britishtroops at Monte ideo,
and the merchants have memorial;sed the Government to
allow the 45th and 73d regiments to remain, and on t4e
Philomel's departure they were doing duty on orateurt'
lines, the outpost duty being performed by the M IT'
brig
deans. Rivera had arrived at the moment- in a Spanish
from Monte Video, and was immediately proclaimed gene
by the troops (French Batques, &c.), who he e deceived in

DEATH OF HIS HOLINESS

On Saturday evening the French Government received ii`
telegraphic dispatch from M. Rossi, the French Ambassador
at the Court of Rome, dated June the Ist, announcingth°
sudden death of his Holiness Pope Gregory XVI. that norir

on the 18th of September, 1765. As a monk of the order
Cainaldolesian Benedictines he made himself celebrat„ed...7
