WAR MEETINGS.

PIIILADELPIIIA.—Ons of the largest meetings ever assem-
bled in this city, was held on the 14th, to respond to the
proclamation of the Mayor, upon the present condition of
affairs here, and on the protection of the country.
Mayor Swift presided, assisted by the Recorder, Presidents
.f the Councils, the Mayor of the Northern Liberties, the
Presidents of the Board of Commissions, and the Chief Bur-
gess of West Philadelphia, as Vice- President?.
The spirit of the meeting may be seen by the principal re-
solution, which was as follows : . .

"Resolved,—That while this meeting deeply regrets that
negotiations of a friendly character have failed to effect a
pacific settlement with our sister republic, we deem
lit
_a
duty to make known to the nation at large, and particularly
to to the Government, that our full and entire sympathies_

THE MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION.
Mayor's Office, New York, May 15, 1846.
Whereas a preamble and resolution has this day passed
both branches of the City Government, requesting the Mayor,
n conformity with the views impressed in the message of
his Excellency the President of the United States, in which
it is stated " that a state of war exists between the Govern-
ment of Mexico and the United States." to issue his procla-
mation calling on all persons acting under the city authority,
and exhorting all ether of our fellow-citizens to observe
faithfully the requirements of the President's proclamation,
and our fellow-citizens belonging to our military corps par-
ticularly, to hold themselves in readiness for any service
which may legally be required of them.
Now, therefore, I, Andrew H. Mickle, Mayor of the city
of New York, do hereby, in pursuance of the foregoing, re-
commend to the inhabitsats Of this great and patriotic city,

to aid in carrying out the views expressed in the message
the President of the United States, as well as the unanimous
expression given by the Common Council thereon. Be-
lieving, as I de, 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 day of May, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-six.
ANDREW H. MICKLE,
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 public 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:—

MAY 14, 1846.—The British Minister, inf.

adopted by this Government against Mexico. The reasons
assigned are those which are usually advanced by that Power
tion,
upon similar occasions—that of the injury and intern:it)
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 OPl3°-
site to that city by our troops, and the blockade of the river
upon which it is situated, by our vessels; and,
ante of this declaration her Majesty's Minister has solemnly
entered his protest. If this country do not at once succuraD
to this threat—a thing which it will not do—he will ask for,
his passports, probably, and depart immediately for some 01
the British provinces, near this country, until he bees fur-

Such is the crisisto which Mr. Polk and his miserable
visers have brought us at last- The country has never hau

and prices rather declining. Freight very scarce, and the
