The Mexican schooner Reiampago, at
the Balize on the 8lh instant, brought news
Of rather belligent character from our
Mexican heighbors. This vessel came in
ballast--trought dispatches for our govern
nent--csrried home the Mexican consul
at New O'leans--and il issupposed brought
instructions to close the other Mexican
consulates in this country. We subioin
the circular of the Mexican Secretary Of
War and Marine. 1t will be seen that that
funciionary announces that the Mexican
government had "rcsoIyed upon declara-
ton Of war" and that notice Of their de-
termination would be sent in 10 the Con-
gress. We also append the editorial COM
ments o { the New Orleans Bulletin. with
the views OF which we entirely agree
The Mexican Congress was in session, but
up to The l9th, three days after the date of
the "circular," no declaration of war had
been made, nor had an embargo been laid
upon American commerce. A letter, how
ever, from Vera Cruz, dated 23d ult. thus
concludes
81 have 10 close this in hurry, as the
news is Just in town that war has been de-
cIareG against the Americans, and the yes
sells are going off Immediately, TO prevent
their being seized"
Tho N. O. Courier, Of the 9th inst. says: /:
"We have seen letters from Mexico Of
July %, which say war is inevitable. The
Senate of Mexico had assembled in order
10 discuss the question Of peace or war,
and the issue depended on their delibera-
lions. Until the result was known, the
Mexican ports would continue open as
usual TO American commerce."
lfany wMlike movement has been made,
il is an embargo laid upon American COM

CIRCULAR. - The United States have
consummated the perfdy agans: Mexico,
by sanciionng the decree which declares
the annexation of the department Of Tex
as 10 that Republic. The injustice Of that
usurpation is apparent, and Mexico cannot
tolerate such grave injury without max
ing an effort to prove TO the United States
the possibility of her ability to cause her
rights to be respected. With this object,
the Supreme Government has resolved up.
on declaration OF war against that pow.
er, seeing that our forboarance, instead of
being received as proof Of our friendly
disposition, has been Interpreted into an
acknowledged impossiblly on our part to
carry on successful war.
Such an error on the part Of the United
States will be advantageous to Mexico,
because suddenly abandoning its pacific
attitude, it will tomorrow communicate to
Congress the declaration of war, and ex.
cite the patriotism Of its citizens TO sustain
the dignity of the nation and the integrity
of lis territory, now trcacherously ly attack
ed, in utter disregard Of all guarantees re-
cognizcd in this enlightened age.
You will readily appreciate The imPor-
tance of this subject, and the necessity of
preparing the troops under your command,
10 march towards any point which may
require protection against these most un-
Just oggressions. am directed by the
Provisional President 10 enjoin upon you,
as General-in Chief of your division, and
as a citizen Of this Republic, 10 hold your
self in readiness to repel those who seek
the ruin Of Mexico. The Government is
occupied in covering the different points
on the frontiers, and in collecting the ne
cessary means, so that nothing may be
wanting to those whose glory il will be
to defend the sacred rights of their country.
! have the honor 10 communicate for
your intelligence, and TO direct your con-
duct. God shd Liberty Mexico, July

The latest advices from Vera Cruz fur
nish grounds for upprehending that the
Mexican Congress have determined on
the adoption OF some measuers of retail
alton on the United States for the part we
have taken in the Annexation question. -
The probability seems to be that an EN-.
barge win be, if it has not already, been
declared. The accounts from Mexico re-
present tho ignorant ra5ble, who form the
mass OF the population, 10 DO clamorons
for war. From this fact, il is apparent
that the Administration party, in order to
court popularity, will be forced TO make
some demonstration Of hostility toward
this country. AS the interdiction Of com.
merce, by the declaration Of an embargo,
comes nearest TO state Of hostility, with
out amounting exactly TO an open act OF
war, it is altogether probable that this will
be tho first step in the progress TO belll-
gercncy. It's also kind Of passive war
fare, better suited TO the exhaustion and
mbecilily Of Mexico, than more active
aud vindiciive demonstrations Of enmlty,
requiring tho movement Of armies in tho
field and fleets upon the sea. Il is hardly
possible 10 suppose that any serious lnten.
ton OF prosecuting war can DO entertained
by the Mexican government The total
want Of all the sinews Of war, and the
entire destitulion of the resources and ca
pabili,ies necessary for stale Of bellig-
crency forbid the idea. Whatever mea.
sures may be adopted, therefore, by Mexh
CO, indicative Of hostile purpose may
well be regarded only as idle demonsira.
tions, designed to crafty clamorous and
disconlented populace. Without some
blusier and bravado, il would moi be posi-.
bic for the party in power 70 maintain the
ascendancy during the pending elections.
A movement Of the kind, then, may well
be expected. A total in,erdlction Of all

gains for the democracy in almost every
county. A. V. Brown, the democratic
candidate for Governor, is elected 5y a

In the Memphis district, the able and elo-
quent +. P, Stanton, is elected over 2. T,
Scruggs, by majority of about seven hum
dred. In the counties heard from, the de-
mocrats have gained three members of the

INDEPENDENT TREASURY LAW
We take much pleasure in copying the
subjoined paragraph from a late number Of
Tho Washmgfoa Union, the official paper Of
the administration. We some weeks ago
expressed our apprehensions at what we
considered the omjnous silence Of several
OF our leading presses 10 regard TO this i'm
ponant and truly democratic moasure.--
Under all the circumstances, this semi
official announcement was called for, and
while iiremoves all doubts as TO tho course
Of the administration, will be gratifying to
tho democracy throughout the country -
"Among the resolutions adopted by the
Baltimore convention, was one in favor Of
the independent treasury. These resolu.
tions have ever been regarded by the Pre-
sident as indicating the policy by which
his administration should be governed. --
The independent treasury was sustained
by the vote Of the President and the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, and further expert
enco has only confirmed the views then
taken by both. The specie policy will be
sustained in all its vigor the coinage will
be increased the foreign gold coin, which
does not circulate, will be converted as ra-
pidly as possible into the half and quarter
eagle and all other proper means will be
used, Including the recommendation OF
tho independent lroasury,) to secure to the
people an abundant supply Of the conslilu-
iional currency"

commercial intercourse with the United
States will probably take place. But that
Mexico will venture seriously 10 declare
war we cannot be persuaded 10 believe
When such an event does occur, If ever,
the destiny Of doomed nation will be
shadowed forth 10 the line OF the Latin
| Poet:
"Quem, Deus vult perdere, prius dementat."
As war with Mexico is by many deemed
probable event, some information rela-
tive 10 the strength and resources OF our
adversary, might not at the present crisis
be unintcresting. The entire population
Of the Mexican States, twenty-five in num-
Der, is estimated at about seven millions. ;.
From this amount, deduction must be
made for the Indians, half breeds and me-
groes, who constitute about six-seyenths ol
the census. These are all mere slaves,
and cllss too ignorant and degraded to
be enumerated among the military statis-
tics of The country, la physical vigor
and intellectual capability, they are said
to be much inferior to the negroes of the
south, and are certainly kept under bond
age much more CALLING and enervatlng
both to mind and body. Throwing this
portion of the population out of the &C.
count, there remains only about million
Of Mexcaus who can be said TO be Of pure
Spanish or European descent, upon whom
any reliance can be placed for the defence
of the country. Even this small fraction
Of the popuace is greatly degenerated,
and, compared with the Spaniards Of the
DAYS of Coriez, or the Anglo Saxons Of
the present era, may be called an etlemi-
nate race. There has been nothing 10
stimulate and develope energy Of charac-
ter in their intercourse with the puny and
harmless aborignes. The rivalry and fre.
quent collision with formidable antago-
nsts, so essential to the growth of habits
of endurance, enterprise and lntrepldlty,
have been entirely wanting, and hence the
Spanish Mexicans are much deterioral ed
from the parent stock. 1t will be obvious
TO the most superficial observer, that in a
contest with such an enemy our Govern.
ment has nothing TO dread. The wonder
is, that an adversary so entirely impoient
and helpless should have the tcmerity to
threaten war. No doubt, however, great
reliance is placed on The lorbearance and
good nature of the United States. Having
borne so many insults and outrages meek.
Iy, perhaps the calculation now is that our
government cannot be provoked into reta.
liation or resentment of injuries. The
Mexicans have resolved, at any rate, to ex-
pertinent on our moderation, and may find,
after a while, whether or not it has any
limits. ~. .. BnLLctin.
