passage, and the State being yet solc stock
holderin the same, it was clearly subject
to examination by the said board of com
missioners--and that the refusal on the
part Of the directory Of said Union Bank,
to permit said commissioners TO examine
the same, was alike unauthorized by law,
disrepeciul to this body, and contemptu-
ously regardless Of the popular will---that
the ground upon which said directory have

factory to this house that such act Of re.
iusal is the more 10 be regretted, since il is

The latest news from Vera Cruz, re.

Of December, and brings the important
statement that Mexico has declared war
against France-ibat the services of Santa
Ana have been accepted by his governmen,
and in his first engagement he received
wound which rendered the ampulaion Of
leg necessary.
The reader will remember that when we
published the pusilanimous treaty into
which Rincon, Governor of Vera Cruz
entered with the French commander, we
stated hat although on the side of the
Ffenchman there was no doubt OF his au.
thoriiy toueat, Gov Ricon's treaty making
powers were not 50 clear; and that the
