We are disposed to think the sentiments OF The ei-
Gems Of Vera Cruz towards the Constitutional Pre-
sidenl" Of Mexico arc not exaggerated.
Ia conseq usnce OF the troubles IN Jsseo, II was
feared thst the great fair at San Juan los Lagos
would not be held this year. The Jaisiense, jour
nal published at Guadalsjara denies this and sssorts
that the Supreme Government was prepared to pro-
tect merchants we'll upon the road swh'e ~ ths

We have before announced that the nail commu-
Dication between Gusdalaars and Mcxi'o had been
interrupted. The Courier Francois OF Inc 10th ut,
announces that 1t has been renewed sndthst Is 10
receipt Of papers from tho interior throwing light up
on all the events that have occurred IN Jiisco. The
editor however, Icfrans from giving th'm publicity,
thinking more proper that they should appear hrsl
in the official Journal i he very cautio' which the
editor msnIiests lead Us TO attach grave importance
to the developments which have already been made
The editors in New Orleans ar amusing
themselves at the expense of cerl,in Amerl-
cans, who have Ged precipia'ely fran Mexico
in consequence of the big words OF M. RECON,

We append the following amusingparagraphs
from the Picayune:
WAR-A rumor prevailed in this city yesterday
| that Mexico had declared war against the United
States. A glance at the intelligence from tina dts
tructed country, TO DO found IN our columns to-day
will show how prepared she is to enter upon anysucf
enterprise at this juncture for Santa Anna hasjus
about as much 10 attend to at home an his most est
| less mood could covet.

visng all our ci,izeDs 10 fee na nd at once but wien
wo came to consider that before the Mexicans rh
upon us they have certain fires TO put out in Qua
daiajars, Guiana uato, and other places equally hart
to pronounce and spell, and these being exlingnished
that there is broad eXpanse Of territory, known OF
the maps as Texas, to be traveised, and where som
little opposition to the advance of an invading ann.
may naturally enough be looked f,r-when re came t
CONSIDER all this, we say We bethought us that som'
little time would probably elapse before the blasts o
| Mexican trumpets would staille us from pur repose
so we concluded TO advise our citizens to cmain per
| iectly quiet where they are. Our reades may res
assured that shall keep them apprised Of the enc
my's advance in season for them 10 make good thei
| retreat.
