THE WAR BETWEEN MEXICO AND !TEXAs

After all it seems to be quite likely that The invasion
of Texas by Mexico is about to interest this country not
only sympathecally but pecunlarily. That invasion
turns out to be but link in the grand chain of insults
offered to our governmen.by great Britain. hapPears

been effected by Of British gold, and all for the
purpose Of beneftting at the expense Of our own, Bril-

learn upon dispatches from our Minister at MEXICO
Santa Anna tyraut migrate and sangunaIy monster as
he is would not have dared to treat Amercans win
such contempt but for The encouragement he has rece~
we'd from the British Government, This view of the
case is corroboraled by the fact that Mexican Bonds
have advanced considerably at the London stock Lx'
change per last advices, although for long time the
interest even on the loan has not been forthcoming 1t
is supposed that the British Mini ster at Mexico Mr.
Packenham, brother of the General killed at New
Orleans has urged Santa Anna on 10 this Outrageous
STEP and that he necessary funds have been provided
him by the Abolition interests of London on guarah

Government are CUSTOMS which are estimated this year

$2,6OOOOO making in all Sll,OOO,OOO. Treasury

ing received the custom houses, the whole of the
customs will be absorbed in the redemption of ireasu-

$4,000, 400 of expenses to be paid BY further TAX.
