MATAMORAS, JULY 17, 1845.—1 write you again thus
s-,on,,fearing that war will be declared by Mexico against
the United States, and all communication be interrupted
for some time. From the present manifestation of feel-
ing towards the Americans we fear We may be expelled
from the country at fifteen days' notice, in which case I
shall have the pleasure of seeing you sooner than I ex.-
pected, although at a grievous loss in a pecuniary point of
view. By the present treaty between the United States
and Mexico, we are permitted to remain six months to
settle up our business affairs, but I am apprehensive
they will pay no regard to it. Troops are approaching
this place from various quarters, and not a single doubt
remains in my mind of the intentions of this Govern-
ment to declare war, although it will be impossible for
them to push it with vigour, or the least prospect of
success. Should they, however, be supplied with the
requisite funds from England, although they may be un-
able to make any powerful demonstration on the other
side of the Rio Grande-, their national obstinacy will in-
duce them to defer for a long time any approaches to-
wards a peace forfeiting their alleged rights to the State
of Texas.

FROM ST. DOMINGO.—Capt. Robinson, of the schooner
Samuel Roberts, informs us that news had reached Por
Paix from Cape Hayti that the Haytian army had re-
turned to the Cape--that Col. Valamener was left 40
miles east of the Cape, waiting for an assault ; but the
Haytian soldiers refused to attack and returned, leaving
the Dominicans to themselves. Coffee was high. No
American vessels at the Cape on 31st July.
The Washington Unioh, in noticing the recent move-
ment of troops to Texas, says that this, as well as other
measures, have been adopted on account of information
which has been received that the Mexicans are sending
a force across the Rio Grande. With regard to the fact
that Texas does not extend to the Rio Grande, but only
to the Neuces, the official paper says—
" Let it not be said that Mexico has claimed the
country to the east of the Rio Grande ; that they have a
post at Santiago ; that they have a few troops at that
post, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, and another small
post higher up the river. We do not mean, unless they
compel us, by. some act of violence, to dispossess them
of these positions. We stand upon the defensive, so far
as relates to the force they have already at these posts.
Tell us not, however, of the 45,000 inhabitants they
have settled on that river. The population on the river,
until you ascend to the neighbourhood of the Santa Fe
region is very small—not more than a few hundreds ; and
most of these very Mexicans have recognised the laws of
Texas, by uniting with the Texians in electing from that
country a representative to the Texian Congress."
THE OREGON EMIGRANTS. —The St. Joseph Gazette,
published in Missouri, has news from the Oregon emi-
grants. Another company is lost, which contains
fifteen men and thirty. five women. They were about
800 miles above Council Bluffs, on the Missouri river ;
they had despaired of getting on this season, and are
planting buckwheat with the expectation of obtaining
provisions on which they may resume their journey
next spring.
