Mexico AND THE UNITED STATES. +,
The journals of the commercial ci.
ties indicate deep solicitude on the
part Of the mercantile community,
touching the state Of our relations with i
Mexico. II is natural that the com.
mercial classes, at least, should feel 4
great anxiety as to the causes Of the 1
withdrawal Of the Mexican Ministers, ;
vet the Administration maintains a Il
profound silence on the subject /; and,
worse than that, it permits the Govern. .
ment paper to throw eat what, il now I
appears certain, is false and decep.
live reason for the sudden suspensiont
of his diplom attic functions by the Mex.
lean Minister.
The following article in the Philal
delphia National Gazette is coucb,ss
in language toe positive to permit us !
to question Its accuracy, and It shews
too plainly, we fear, the crisis to which
the conduct of our Government to-
wards Mexico is Fastening our affairs
with that Republic.
FROM tAe National Gaxstte.
We are able 10 state, on unquestlon.
able authority, that the subjoined In.
formation from the New York Amerf.
can is correct The Mexican minis.
ter, before the return Of the President
from Tennessee, considered his mission
as terminated, in consequence Of the
persistence Of the Government in the I
order under which General Gaines en-.
tered the Mexican territory.
His departure, however, was post.
poned at the request Of the Secretary
until the reform Of the President, when
the negotiations were renewed withoasI
success. Senior Gorossiza, being una.
bic TO obtain the recall of Gen. Gaines,
merely awaits his passports 10 return
home. We cannot but express our !
surprise, in common with an intelligent
contemporary, that the Public should
have no official information on this sab
ject.
Form the New York American.
We heard yesterday, from a pretty
good source, that the Mexican Envoy !
had made peremptory demand for thal,
recall Of Gen. Gaines from Nacogdo. 4
ches, and compliance with this being i
refused on the part Of this Government, |,
he had demanded his passports. I
If,his shou Id prove TO be true, we
shall be in great danger of war With 4
Mexico, than which few could proyebl
more disastrous to our commerce.
With every thing at stake on our part
in every sea, Mexico offers not a vul.
nerable point. Her only weak part is y
Texas, now all but an ally Of the W.
States, and us for commerce she has !
none, and pestilencs around her seacosl !;
aeeures her from invasion in that quar- Z
ter.
In such a war Mexico has every \
thing TO gain and nothing to lose and
the United States every thing to loses
aad nothing TO gain-not even glory.jsn
