OFFICE OF WAR AND MARINE, J

CIRCULAR. - The United States have
consummated the perfdy agains: Mexico,
by sanctioning the decree which declares
the annexation of The department OF Tex
as 10 that Republic. The injustice of that
usurpation is apparent, and Mexico cannot
tolerate such a grave injury without max
ing an effort to Prove 10 the United States
the possibility of her ability TO cause her
| rights to be respected. With this object.
the Supreme Government has resolved I'D.
on declaration of war against that pow
ef, seeing that our forbearance, instead of
being received as a proof of our friendly
disposition, has been Interpreted into an
acknowledged impossibIliy on our part to
carry on successful war.
Such an error on the part of the United
States will tie advantageous to Mexico.
because suddenly abandoning its pacific
attitude, it will tomorrow communicate 10
Congress the declaration Of war. and ex-
cite the patriotism of its citizens to sustain
the dignity of the nation and the integrity
of lis territory, now treacherously attack
ed, in utter disregard of all guarantees re-
cognized in this enlightened age.
You will readily appreciate the impor-
lance of this subject, and the necessity of
preparing the troops under your command
ia march towards any point which may
require protection against these most I'M
just aggressions. | am directed by the
Provisional President TO enioin upon you,
as Genera-in Chief of your division, and
as citizen of this Republic, to hold your
self in readiness TO repeI those who seek
the ruin of Mexico. The Government is
occupied in covering the different points
on the frontiers, and in collecting The ne
cessary means, SO that nothing may he

WAR WITH MEXICO

The Mexican schooner Relampago, at
the Balze on the 9Th instant, brought news
of rather beIligent character from our
Mexican neighbors. This vessel came in
ballast-bronght dispatches for our govern.
ment-carried home the Mexican consul
at New Orleans-andi it is supposed brou CHI
instructions to close the other Mexican
consulates in this country. We subioin
the circular of the Mexican Secretary OF
War and Marine. 1t will be seen that that
tunctionary announces that the Mexican
government had "resolved upon declara-
ton of war;" and that notice of their de.
Termination would be sent in to the Con-
gress. We also append the editorial COM
ments Of the New Orleans Bulletin, with
the views of which we entirely agree
The Mexican Congress was in session, but
up to the 10th, three days after the date OF
the CIRCULAR" no declaration of war had
been made, nor had an embargo been laid
upon American commerce. A letter, how
ever, from Vera Cruz, dated 23d uh. thus
concludes
" have 10 close this in hurry, as the
news IS just in town that war has been de-
clare6 against the Americans, and the YES
sells are going off Immediately, TO prevent
their being seized"
The N. 0. Courier, of the 9th inst. says
4" We have seen letters from Mexico of
July 90, which say acdY is inevitable. The
Senate of Mexico had assembled in order
to discuss the question of peace or war,
and the issue depended on their delibera-
tons. Until the result was known, The
Mexican ports would continue open as
usual to American commerce."
Ifany wallike movement has been made,
it is an embargo laid upon American COM
merce-and, probably, the despatch of for
ces towards the Texan frontier.

FROM THE N. o. BULLETIN.

The latest advices from Vera Cruz fur
nish grounds for experimenting that the
Mexican Congress have determined on
the adoption of some measuers of retail
alton on the United States for The part we
have taken in the Annexation question:
The probability seems to be that an EN-.
barge will be, if it has not already, been
declared. The accounts from Mexico re.
present the ignorant ra5ble, who form the
mass of the population, 10 be clamorous
for war. From this fact, it is apparent
that the Administration party, IN order to
court popularity, will be forced to make
some demonstration of hostility toward
this country. As the introduction of CON-
merce, by the declaration Of an embargo,
comes nearest to state of hostility, with
out amounting exactly to an open act of
war, it is altogether probable that this will
be the first step in the progress TO belli-
gerency. It's also kind OF passive war
fare, better suited TO the exhaustion and
imbeciIity of Mexico, than more active
and vlndictive demonstrations of enmjty.
requiring the movement of armies in the
field and fleets upon the sea. It is hardly
possible TO suppose that any serious inten-
ton of prosecuting war can be entertained
by the Mexican government The total
want of all the sinews of war, and the
entire destllution of the resources and ca.
pabifiies necessary for state of beIlig-
erency forbid the idea. Whatever mea-
sures may be adopted, therefore, by Mexi.
co, indicative Of hostile purpose may
well be regarded only as idle demonstra.
lions, designed to crafty elamorous and
discontinued popuIace. Without some
buster and bravado, it would moi be posi-.
bic for the party in power to maintain the
ascendancy during the pending elections.
A movement of the kind, then, may we'll
be expected. a total Introduction of ALL

INDEPENDENT TREASURY law


W take much pleasure in. copyinp the
subioined paragraph from late number i

me administration. We some weeks apo
expressed our apprehensions at what we
considered the ominous silence of several
OF our leading presses in regard to this i'm.
portant and truly democratic measure
Under all the circumstances. this semi
official announcement was called for, and
While itremoves all doubts as to the course
OF the administration, will be gratifying to
the democracy throughout the country -
" Among the resolutions adopted by the
Baltimore convention, was one in favor of
the independent treasury. These resolu-
tons have ever been regarded by the Pre-
sident as indicating the policy by which
MS administration should be governed
The independent treasury was sustained
by the vote of the President and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and further expert
ence has only confirmed the views then
taken by both The specie policy will be
sustained IN all its vigor; the coinage will
be increased; the foreign gold coin, which
does not circulate, will be converted as ra-
pidly as possible into the half and quarter
eagles and all other proper means will be
used, Including the Recommendation of
the Independents treasury, J to secure to the
people an abundant supply of the constitu-
tional currency"

This, | am sure, meets the cordial ap-
probation Of his fellow-citizens Of both
political parties in this section of The coun-
try Indeed, the station 10 which he as.
pires has no connexion with politics; and
no one should know party feelings in his
vote to fill such station. The true and
only questions to be asked (as has been
justly Temarked) are "Is he honest? is
he faithful? is he qualified ?'
Mr.. Cothran's enyiabe character as a
lawyer adorned as it is. With all the vir.

commercial intercourse with the United
States will probably take place. But that
Mexico will venture seriously TO declare
war we cannot be persuaded to believe
When such an event does occur, II ever,
the destiny of doomed nation will be
Swallowed forth in the line OF the Latin
Poet:
QUEEN, Deus yult peTdere, prius demensat-"
As war with Mexico is by many deemed
probable event, some information Tela-
tive TO the strength and resources oil our
adversary, might not at the present crisis
be uninteresiing. The entire population
of the Mexican States. twenty-five m num-
| Der, is estimated at about seven millions
| From this amount, deduction must be
made for the Indians, half breeds and ne
groeS, who constitute about sIx-seyenihs OF
the census. These are all mere slaves,
and class too ignorant and degraded TO
be enumerated among the military siatis-
tics of the country, la physical yigor
and intellectual capability, they are said
to be much inferior TO The negroes of the
| south, and are certainly kept under bond
age much more CALLING and eEervanng
both TO miad and BODY. Throwing tbs
portion of the population out of the ac-
count, there remains only about a million
of Mexcans who can be said TO be OF pure
Spanish or European descent, upon whom
any reliance can be placed for the defence
Of the country. Even this small fraction
of the populace is greatly degenerated,
and, compared with the Spaniards of the
DAYS of Cortez, or the Anglo Saxons OF
the present era, may be called an efleml-
nate race. There has been nothing 10
stimulate and develope energy of eharac-
ter in their intercourse with the puny and
harmless aborigines. The rivalry and FREE
quent collision with formidable antago-
nists, so essential to the growth Of habits
of endurance, enterprise and intrepid,ly,
have been entirely wanting, and hence the
Spanish Mexicans are much deteriOrat ed
from the parent stock. Ii will be obvious
10 the most superficial observer, that in Z
contest with such an enemy our Govern
ment has nothing 10 dread. The wonder
is, that an adversary so entirely impo,eul
and helpless should have the temesity to
threaten war. No doubt, however, great
reliance is placed on the forbearance and
good nature of the United States. Having
borne so many insults and outrages meek.
ly, perhaps the calculation now IS that cur
government cannot he provoked into reta-
liatiOn or resentment of injuries. The
Mexicans have resolved, at any rate, to ex-
pertinent on our moderation, and may find.
after a while, whether or not it has any
limits. n. o. BHlletia.
