i The news from Liverpool 10 the 18Th March, is truly

any hope. Confidence will suffer even more than
hitherto. Every puff of wind that comes across the
waters, now will sink that delicate thermometer

of people lift up the immense pile OF runs that nave
whemed them beneath, and we can al most fancy that
they will succeed in freeing themselves from theif

Teran, Liberado Gen. Warren, all briggs Of war, and
the Gen. Hida 20, an armed schooner At the very
moment when we making demands for spolauons,
Mexico is committing new depredatons upon our
commerce. She will find herself in a dilemma she
least expected for this c9untry will not permit It's
vessels 10 be captured, trading with people who's
independence II has recognized; unless our vessels
of war will protect them, all the vessels that have
sailed hence for Texas will fall prey 10 the Mexl-
cans. Mr.. Crawford, the English Consul, has gone
to Columbia having been landed at the mouth of the
Brassos, by the British brig OF war Racer The Mexi-
can fleet had captured the schooner Viglant, hence
for Matagorsa, laden with arms and ammunition, and
sent her TO Matamoras.

Tar TlMrs.-Not the least change has taken place
in our money market and business generally, that has
come to our knowledge In starting our paper, We
never contemplated sayngnny thing relative to com.
mercal affairs but the times are such that we arc
bound to keep calendar Of passing eycnts-Evcry
thing appertaning 10 business, thon, is in the
situation il was week-a fortnight month since
and the state Of affairs here is but counterpart o
every large commercial city in the Union. The whole
mercantile community Of this country is in the last
stage Of consumption Go they must, although oc-
al leans Of hope raay arise that the dreaded
end may be avcrted is frequently the case, where
the same disease IS preyng upon the life blood of
single individual. Spectators, monopolIzcrs and
every other species of wholesale gamblers are desn-
cd TO be broken down and destroyed. Yet new, aud
we trust more henest dynasty will arise from theii
ashes, who will do legitimate business, and bring
about wholesome action IN all branches ofour com.
mercial affairs.
