arrest the readers attention.
NJ. GOrostiZa, minister Of Mexico to the
.. States, dissatisfied with the answer of
this Government to his application for the
Withdraw wal of the troops Of the U. States
from the territory recognized by our trea-
ties as belonging to Mexico, demanded
and obtained his passports, and returned
home
The minister of the United States to
Mexico, dissatisfied with the answers Of
that Government to certain claims which
he has preferred on the part Of this Gov
eminent, and thereto further moved by he
return Of NJ GorostiZa, demanded lis
passports, and according to Ole account,
received them and set out for home, or, as
stated in another account, has come home
acith0ut passports Ifthey were withheld
from him, it is as probable reason as any
other for their being refused or delayed,
that the Mexican Government wished to
prevail upon him to stay and not depart in
anger.
With regard to the complexion Of this
news, it does not present to US the high
coIoring it appears 10 have worn at New
Orleans The government Of the United
States did not, it is true, comply in terms
with the demand of NJ. Gorostiza but
the executive has in fact done, substantial
| ly, what was not unreasonably asked
for it has ordered the troops Of the United
States to re-pass within the acknowledged
limits of the United States. The news Of
this Just and honorable determination on
the part Of the y. States will have reach
ed Mexico, almost as soon as her dissatis-
fed minister; and we take it for granted,
there is more discretion in the ruling au-
thorities in Mexico than to disregard the
substance in pursuit oflhe shadow. They
must be too mindful of their national obi
cations to make needless quarrel with
the United States not to speak Of the in
terest, mutual between the two nations,
which recommends the perpetual peace
that is solemnly guaranteed by treaty be-
tween Mexico and the U. States.
Fer these reasons, we incline to give no
faith to the rumor that the government Of
Mexico is about to declare war against the
United States. There are no doubt, in
considerate persoas in that country, as
there may be in this, who would willingly
aggravate the differences between the two
nations into war. We confidently trust
that wise rcouncils will! prevail in both
countries.
How SHALL WE LIvE-Flour 3 or IA
dollars per barrel, butter 22 cts pork
from Toto IL, corn $3.50 and other arti-
cles in proportion. Merchants say that
the price of flour is kept up by specula-
tlon-if so, we advise all to use as little as
possible-many mix potatoes with -four
Zone half ofeach) which makes very fine
bread, especially to eat warn. This fact is
worthy Of more general attention, and we
give the following from some paper, for
the information of our readers. -Baptist
Register
The potatoes must be boiled with very
llttld water, so as to have them as dry as
possible: the skin must be taken off while
perfectly hot. lnthis state they are to be
mashed, and mixed up with a suitable
Quantity Of milk, Immediately a sufficiency
Of flour is to be added to give proper con
slstence, with the necessary quantity O
yeast to raise it. 1t requires an extra
amount of kneading to make it to perfec
ton.
