From N. 0. Picayune, Aug. 81

Among the passengers by the X. was Senor Ar,
,ango,z, brother OF the Mexican consul n mere, aaa
dispatches rthe Hon. Mr.. Buchanan from MIR. d.
mond, u S: Consul at Vera Cruz, which were sent I
on to Washington yesterday by mall '
clared when the Reampago sailed. twas expected
that the mail which arrived the previous day would
bring intelligence, but if it did had not publicly
however was the general opinion, and we learn YER
bally that the Government OF Mexico is making
strenuous exertions to borrow $4,000 900 TO carry
il on. Perhaps the English bondholders IN London
would like the job of lending this money!
Vera Cruz was said to be very healthy They
were landing shot and shells from the Castle of San
Juan de Ulua on the wharves Of the former, as was
said from fear hai Istes s eas'e might ian INTO
The only American merchant vessels at Vera
Cruz were the Ann Louisa, to sail tor New York on
the soth ult and the Water Witch, to % sail for this
port on the Goth. BY the latter, we shall soon re-
ceve further intelligence
The Italian opera troupe arrived at Vera Cruz on
the 18th ut The company-Borghese and ALL
started Immediately for the city OF Mexico IN the
stages.
There were two French, one English, and one
Spanish men-of-war at Vera Cruz when the Relam-
pago sailed, but no American; Some OF the latter
have probably looked in there before this /
The Mexican steamers Of war, Montezuma and
GuadaloIe, lying in the harbor, but they were
talking of moving them to some safe place. We
have received long letter from the engineers OF
plain bitterly OF the manner IN which they have been
treated by the Mexicans They are now boarding
on shore, credit they say not being able to get
any thing to eat on board the vessels much less the
means Of purchasing They assert that their written
contracts say that they were to be paid monthly but
for the last half year they have received nothing
and these facts they wish made known as warning
% other engineers not to enter the Mexican service
| AS regards declaration of war on the part OF
Mexico, to our minds nothing seems more probable

unconscious of the inevitable defeat that awaits
them from lack OF knowledge OF their own re

hostile hue and cry. two years war, II ltcould

vice in the long run to Mexico, in opening the eyes
Of the inhabitants to their true condition In the
mean time the course of the United States is SIM
pie enough. Every protection to lts own citizens
should be given on land andwater-this is first duty
In the second pace,a sufficiency OF Mexican terri,
tory should at once be taken possession OF to pay al
the expenses of war they have foollshly brought
upon their own heads, and such territory should be
held until every claim is settled TO the last fraction
II ~ B.--Snce the above was written, we have re-
ceived full files Of Et VeracruSano Libre The edi-
tor of that print in his paper OF the 10th nit. is IN
most terrible rage at the audaclty OF the Unlted
States. The piracy committed by annsxlng Texas
he thinks places the independence of Mexico in i'm
! mnent danger-by robbing her OF an important part
of her territory we have advanced another step on
the road to perfidy and injustice. We have, IN his
opinion, after laughing at the solemn protests OF
Mexico, finally thrown down the glove and no other
course is now lett for his cOuntrymen than to settle
the question at the point of the sword, and to shed
the very last drop of blood In defence OF the honor
and integrity OF the territory. He admits that Mex
co is inferior to the United States IN power; but the
former, he thinks, has justice on her side, and Pro
vidence mocks at strength when nation is lighting
IN good cause. Such Is the general tenor OF the
: ,rticle We give the last paragraph entire, which
, is as follows =
