The Saratoga arrived here last evening" having
left Vera Cruz on the 18th ult An opinion pre-
vailed very generally at Vera Cruz, that Mexico
would not formally declare war against the United
States We have letter, also, which states the be-
lief that the government would lie able to realize but
very small portion of the loan, if any. The re-
port of the advance of $4,000 men to make rush

careful of placing in the hands Of any man in Mex-

one of those sudden revolutions to which his coun-
trymen are 80 much disposed.

canal 9795 tons: making, for the week. 8, 594 tons!
II is presumed that there will be two millions of tons
of coal Supplied for this year, than onehalf of
which will ue sent from the Schuylki region. This
will add 300 900 tons to the amount consumed last
year--all of which, feel satisfied the market will
require. The fierce competition between the Read
ing railroad and the Schuylkil canal induced the d.
recors to reduce the price of transportation below
living price and although they carry the great mass
of coal above stated, yet their business has been
losing one The rates charged are much less than
the actual expenses paid by the company, and about
one-tenth as much as other roads charge for freight
The result has been, that ON the LIST OF September
the company were compelled to raise the price on
the transportation of coal over their railroad cents
