The following paragraph. from the
Mobile Commercial Register Of March
i9'h' gives alarming note Of the approach
at an evil predicted 10 US some time sgo
as a consequence Of the hos,ili,ies waeed
by persons from the United States aealns,
The Mexican authority in Texas. bu, The
danger Of which, we hoped. had passed
away: National intelligence.
Accounts from New Orleans repre.
sen, the money market in that city as
somewhat embarrassed. From the COLI.
sion between Mexico and Texas, the usu.
al receipts Of specie from Mexico have
diminished. the present season, several
millions Of collars; and the demand for
specie in New Orleans has occasioned a
reduction in Bank facilities and brought
down exchange on New York TO q Der
cent. discount for the best sixty days bills.
Constant and heavy drafts made on the
banks for specie have rendered il neces.
sary for them 10 take this course, and. in
the exercise Of a prudent discretion, TO
place themselves in a condition 10 meet
any emergency. The effect Of i. is TO
be seen in check 10 business operations
generally, and We learn from undoubted
authority tina. no sales in cotton Of any
consequence have been effected there for
the las, three days"
