The New Orleans Jeffersonian publishes an ex-

ult., which says:
=" L have to conclude this in hurry, as the
news is just in town that war has been declared
against the Americans and the vessels are poinp

The Courier, after noticing the rumors af1oat,
and the above extract, says:
g We have seen letters from Mexico of july
22 which say tcar IS inevitable. The Senate of
Mexico had assembled in order to discuss the anes-
ton of peace or war, and the issue depended on
their deliberations. Until the result was known,

to American trade"
From such Information we can obtain we
think 1t probable that if any belligerent step has
been taken, ii is that which the Bee states it is
credlbly informed has been ordered-an EMBARGO

"HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE >,

Under this head, the Gloucester Telegraph
publishes an article, the substance of which is
probably fnrnishedby Capt. Wonson of that place,
IN which II is stated, that after the sch'r Jane,
OF this city, had been left by her crew, who were
taken by bark Muskingum, and brought to this
city, she was boarded by Capt Wonson and his
fishing crew, who We're making preparations to
bring her into port. 1t is complained, that while
these preparations were going on, the Herculean
of Kingston, hove in sight, and that Capt Holmes
of the latter vessel boats crew to the Jane.
which proceeded to strip her of her mansa and
rigging, Notwithstanding the remonstrances of
Capt. Wonson; and after they had left the wreck
with their strippings, Capt. Holmes Z" drove his
ship upon the wreck, breaking in and completely
demollshng the stern, carrying away the masis
and spreading the cargo, thereby, rendering her
valueess. Capt. Wonson and part of his crew
were upon the wreck at the time, and barely es-
capped with their lives.-Boston Times.

WONDERS OF MESMERIsM.

Not of De Bonnevle-athough he is indeed
wonderful. We learn from the most undoubted
authority, although we have not witnessed the
fact, that DR.. Mason, surgeon on board the Penn
sylvania, has subject so fully under his magnetic
control, that he has complete power over his loco
motion, let the subject be where he may, or en-
gagged as he may-but the most wonderful of all
is his power to affect the heretofore considered
lmmutable power of gravi,aton. Dr. Mason has,
repeatedly, before intelligent companies, caused
his subject to place his open hands against fiat
wall, and having magnetised him, taken the stool
from under his feet, and left him hanging as it
were, without support against the wall. What
will the sceplies say TO this?

LOUIS McLANE.

The u. ). Journal continues to strike at the
President with the hammer of the p" Young De-

appointment of Louis NIcLane, and cries, like
the Rev Mr.. Stubbleworih, while he was con
0eriing the celebrated blacksmith Forgeron; g let
us have specimen of Old Hickory take the
responsibility" sc. This, we think, is rather
capious. Is not Mr.. McLane a specimen of the
Old Hero. He appointed this very gentleman,
to the same office he holds under Mr.. Polk, and
afterwards made him Secretary of State The
President has taken the " responsibility and re-

standing the vigorous blows from the hammer of
Young Democracy" Is not that enough, in all

STUBBORN FACTS

Young .4merica, is the title of paper, pub
lished in the city of New York, devoted 10 the
rights of mankind, and the equal distribution of
benefits to all, and edited with great ability and
industry by George III. Evans The editor in
noticing new work of j. Fennimore Cooper en-
titled : Satan's Toe which is written, as is sup
posed, to uphold the PATRON system of New
York, makes the following pithy remarks:
" What right had they 1.-THE Patroons1 to mo-
nopollze land that belonged to the race If thew
had a right to monopoize "a miles square. thew
have right to get, if they could 100 miles by
70, like the Scottish Duke of Sutherland; and if
100 by 70, why not whole State, or whole
Continent? The simple truth is, that no PATRON
or any other man ever had or could have, any,
where, right TO take more land than he needed
for the use of his family. No man could ever by
any means, riehtfully exact from others tribute
for the use of the earth which belongs equally TO
all Any schoolboy who has read the history of
this country knows that the original titles 10 the
land here were derived from foreign freebooteys.
who were commanded or commissioned by their
soyeTelgns TO discover" or q" discover and CON
per, g lands not possessed by any Christian
Prince" and that therefore every parchment title
is based on stealing and massacre. To contend .
then, that the sheepskin titles confer any yicbi.
further than that of good sized farm TO each of
the holders is 10 contend for the gros: est absurdv
The only proper question is, as TO the easiest and
speediest method of putting an end to this land
stealing system, so that no man shall cont;,,,c
to exact from another tribute for the use Of the
earth"
