MEXICAN NEWS.

months that i, has become q drug in the

Of savage conflict amoag themselves, and

slaughterous thoughts that they mus,
breathe words Of violence and menace,
even though sl.ak ng with the. ague. In
our opinion, the merchants and the polito-
clans have no cause of fear or hope, SO

"War between this country and the
United States appears invi,able, My opin:
ion is now completely changed, and from
The continued and most recent news from
Texas, i, appears TO be reduced to GER
,a;nty that country will be united to the
states, which will be considered here tan,a.
mount TO a declaration Of war. This is
beyond doubt What figure this coun-
try will make in war with their powerful
neighbor, remain to be seen. A poor
impoverished country, destitute Of resources
without navy, without fo:t on the coast
excepting San Juan do Ulloa here, with an
unpaid army, wretchedly differed, aga ms,
the Unhed States, full Of resources of
every kind, the result seems not 10 admit

powers lend thor aid. which is not thought
probable. have it from good authority
that England will not, and it is not likel v
that France will, those two countries hav-
ing enough TO do watch each o hers move
ments and preserve the equilibrium of
Europe. Some think that the seas will
swarm with priva,eers with Mexican com.
missions; but others are Of opinion that
this will no, be tolerated in the esen, age

istence enough Mtxcan seamen to man
half dozen priva GERS. In short, things
look exceedingly SOU lily here. and a few
shou weeks at most will unravel the mvs
tory. Whatever stand Mexico takes she
will be sure 10 err, for never saw such a
set Of poi:i ions or people less capable oil
governing themselves. Do what they will
they cannot preserve quiet among them
selves. DO what they will they canno,
preserve qiet among themselves. For my
par, am afraid we shall have a repeti-
ton Of the scenes presented in 1888, an
abandoned city, and the castle in posses
sion Of a foreign power. So much for the
situation Of this misguided republic.'
