I'm regard to the question of war should be distinct
ly understood that although Mexico will in all human
probability resolve upon hostilities with the United
States the latest and most authentic advices state
that declaration of nonintercourse had been
made. The intelligence OF the ratification OF annexation
by the Texan Convention had not reached Mexico and
is highly probable that definite action will be had
until it is formally made known to the Government.
Mexico is doubtless preparing for bnt will not de-

The Diario dsi GsJerno of the 18th ult contains
exceedingly prox statement addressed by Senior Louis
O. Cuevas to the two chambers the 10Th ul, review
ing the entire subject Of annexation and the conduct OF
the American and Mexican Governments at elabora to
length. We shall endeavor to give our readers a sum
mary of this document.
Senior Cnevas begins by stating that the resolution
adopted by the department Of Texas aud the violent
sures taken by the United States to annex
that territory render it imperative upon the Supreme
Government TO explain the conduct it has observed in
favor OF the OF its honor and national
rights After rhetorical flourish about the fra nkness
uiagnanmity and honor of the Mexican administration
he goes defend at considerable length the policy
attempted by Mexico Of recognizing the independence
of Texas condition OF refusal of annexation and to
justify it honorable and worthy effort to avoid hos
tes with the United States lie declares that the 60
vernment had little hope OF the success OF Its ne
gotiations, but nevertheless undertook them as
matter of duty, and with view TO prevent
every possible alternative to open rupture with this
country and that the preliminary propositions made by
Texas carefully and respectfully worded as to
excite offence among the patriotic people OF Mexico
lie then analyses these propositions and contends that
they embraced every thing which the Mexican Govern
ment could possibly require He aiirms moreover that
proered negotiations declared in the most positive and
precise terms that in such event. her answer should
be considered null and OF no effect
The Mexican Government therefore, continues Senol
Cuevas has not ervcd iota from the consttuon
test against the injustice violence with which the
United States have conducted the entire questioning
therefore, the dignity OF the nation is fully preserved

The report concludes with another flourish about thu
loyalty and good faith Of Mexico and the perdy OF thu
United States. As have given a sample of its Ian
guage in the preceding paragraph, is unnecessary
