Probable War with Mexico.
We give in another column the lates diligence
from Mexico. /! is OF the most interesting char
acter. Il will be perceived that the Mexican gov
erpment have adopted the course which pre-
dic!ed they would take in regard to their relations
with this country. The Mexican Minister has
very hausnt!ly declined any correspondence with
Mr.. Shannon, and although a declaration OF war
has not as yet been formally made, yet the Next
can government has assumed distinctly warike
attitude, and il not al all unlikely that the next
intelligence may iaform us Of the commencement
OF open hoses The letter OF Senior Cuevas
states with sufficient explicitness the purpose of
his governmen-an appeal to arms, if the United
States perss. in their present policy with regard to
Texas.
What is the meaning oil all thisl How comes it that
Mexico, who has been utterly unable for several
years past to reduce Texas obedience should now
soca valiery cast out her threats, or dream Of making
war against the United States-a power capable of
utterly swallowing her up1 The reason of this
singular anomaly in the conduct of Mexico is to be
found in the fact that she has been stimulated and
incitedby English and French agents The recent
scamperings of Mr. Elliott, the British Charge, and
Nj. Sallgny, the agent Of the French government,
and the proposed convention of foreign dipomatists
IN Washington, with variety Of recent diplomatic
movements, including the position assumed by the
British Ministry In both Houses of Parliament, in
dictate that sc:ne grand and general scheme OF
operations has been concocted, in which Mexico
IS to play an important part, aided by the anti.
annexation move in Texas, in opposition to the
United States.
The whole aspect OF the political world Just now,
does, indeed appear to indicate that general con-
certed movement is gradually forming on the part
of the monarchcal powers of Europe against this
Republic, and with which accidental circumslan-
ces have combined the South American Republics

What Is to be done in such crisis? Shall our

clustering Is it not time for the President to call

pose of putting the country in attitude of Defence

her national dignity, impede her progress, and place

All this, however, is vague and inconclusive -
What is to be donef Mr.. Hamblin asks the sym.
pathy Of the people, but unless il be directed to
some practical purpose, 1t will quickly evaporate,
without leading to any real benefit to the sufferer.
We advise Mr.. Hamblin to 80 to work at once and
make arrangements for building the new theatre in
Broadway. In the present state and prospects of
theatrical affairs in this city, there is every reason
to believe that it would be very successful un-
dertaking.
No doubt the other theatres now in existence,
such as the Chatham, the new Bowery Theatre,
and Palmo's, will endeavor to supply the void
created by the destruction Of Hamblin's theatre,
and certainly till the new theatre be erected in
Broadway, they will have an excellent chance OF
dividing the spoils In particular, the new Bowery
theatre is likely to prosper. 1t has chances not
possessed by any Of its rivals. The immense mass
OF the population in that quarter of the city who
have been in the habit of spending their evenings
at the theatre for shilling piece, or two shil.
ings for the best seat in the boxes, will want some
place OF amusement in this pleasant season, and
they will seek the old locality in preference to any
other.
