CorroN.-Our last report left the market mac

were received, since which there has been fair
regular business doing, with prices tending In
favor Of buyers There appears To be some lrregu
larty in regard TO prices, but from what we can
learn, they ore from to cent below the rates
previous to the accounts by the Caledonia. The
advices by tie Great Western only corro6orate
the above, for there appears to have been tair
business doing, az the ruling prices when the
Caledonia sailed. The sales Of the week ending
ODD ult. amounted to 32,O40 bales, 4,5OO OF which
was on speculation, and 5000 for export.
Sales Of the week amount TO aoout $4,000 oales

Of vessels operates materially against operations
in the article and, besides the high rates OF freight

last three weeks been on the decline. The re-
ceipts Of the week amount TO 1890 bales; ex-

The Hand writing on the wall.

The Wing Editor of Harrison county sees the
hand writing OH the wall, and ike Beshazzar of
old, his knees smtte together After speaking of
the Bank Bill, the chicken tax law and the other
measures of the whig leaders, and the little sup
port these measures receive, he bursts out as fol-
lows: "We are ALARMED at the partial indiDer-
ence Of The Wing party" He then wishes 10
know why they are becoming so negligent, &c.
That's about the tune the other whig presses are
hunming, and it shows that they have 10 hope
of sustaining their party under the immense
weight of infamy cast upon itby the last Legis-
lature. The creating of near bundled swind-
ling specieIess banks, and the passage of on op
pressve Tax Law such as never was attempted in
This country before, is enough TO kill any party
and we don't wonder the honest wings are iRdif
ferentand negligent 10 their party. How coulc
they be otherwise when they see so clearly tht
prospect of being swindled outrageously on ont
hand, and ground TO the earth by taxation on th'
other. If they act as becomes their own interes
and welfare, they will turn their indifference in
10 indignation, and at the Ballot Box in Octobe
teach those who would swindle and oppress ,hcr
lesson that they will never forget. Ohio d.

DEAR SIR:
OFFICE OF WAR AND MARINE.
SECTION OF OPERATIONS.
(CWcuIar.)

The United States have consnmmated the per-
6dy against Mexico, by sanctioning the decree
which declares the annexation Of the department
Of Texas to that republic. The injustice ofth
usurpation is apparent, and Mexico cannot tole-
rate such grave injury without making every el-
fort to prove 10 the United States the possibility
of her ability to cause her rights to be respected
With this object, the supreme government have
resolved upon declaration OF war against that
power, seeing that our forbearance, instead oi
being a proof of our friendly disposition, has
been Interpreted into an acknowledged mpossi-
bility on our part to carry on successful war
Such an error Oh the part of the United States
will be advantageous to Mexico; because, sud
denly abandoning lis pacific attitude, II will TO-
morrow communicate 10 Congress the decara
tou of war, and excite the patriotism of lis cI
tizens to sustain the dignity Of the nation, ant
the integrity of its territory, now treacherousy
attacked, in utter disregard of all guarantees re
cognzed in this enlightened age.
| You will readily appreciate the importance o
this subject, and the necessity of preparing the
troops under your command TO march towards
any point which may require protection agains
these most unjust aggressons. | am directed
Dy INC provisional IleSiueut " e"JoHi uPoll you
as the general.n. chief of your division, and as
citizen af this republic, TO hold yourself in read
ness to repel those who seek the ruin of Mexico
The government is occupied in covering the di
ferent points on the frontiers, and in collectn
the necessary means, so that nothing may b
wanting to those whose glory it will be TO defen
the sacred rights of their country.

An Embargo i'm Mexico.

In allusion to the surmlse of the New Orleans
Bulletin, that the Mexican Congress, without de-
claring actual war against the United States,
might lay an embargo as a measure of retaliation,
the Washington Union quotes the eighth article
OF the treaty between this country and Mexico,
which is in these Words
"lhe citizens Of neither Of the contracting par
ties shall be liable to any embargo; nor shall
their vessels, cargoes, merchandise, or etfectsbe
detained for any military expedition, nor for any
public or private purpose whatever, without cor
responding compensation"
TO declare an embargo therefore, would be
on the part of Mexico, SO the Union insists, a
rupture of the existing treaty. "Such meas
ure," it adds, "would only tend to enlarge the
Catalogue of grievances of which we already
"complain. 1t would only place her more com
''pletely out of the pale ofcvzed States. We
could take no measure with Mexico" says the
Union in conclusion, ''ercept to redress all ou'
accumulated grievances in the most efectirc man
ner.'
